Where can I find the 'elf' thingy?

A noob question again :oops: : Where can I find that 'elf' program that allows you to track the python files? I've read through a lot of threads, and I'm sure I've missed it somewhere so I place this question here. As you may guess I have this trouble with my Journals - can't get them to open up in age although the books have hotspots on them. I have tried for several days now and I can't get any further. My .pak imports the GUI.py, Defs.py and Journals.py allright so I can't see the mistakes anywhere.

I've used D'Lanors Journals template and I've looked at other .py and .pak files, deleted and done it over again several times. Now I think I must track something with that 'elf' I read about. Other suggestions are of course welcome!! ;)

The easiest way to read elf files is to use PlasmaShop (see wiki)
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

I think you can use this: http://home.wanadoo.nl/sfinx98/uru/ELFViewer.zip D'Lanor posted this link in another thread, so I think it is safe to use :)

Thanks guys! I already use PlasmaShop to .pak my .py files. Now I can learn to use ELF too. :)
I try to 'build' an age because it's more interesting to inspect ages (I'm a maintainer mostly ;) ) if you have a 'deeper' knowledge. I've already learned a lot of what's difficult to do in Blender and when exporting. Gives me more understanding of common 'bugs' and flaws. besides it's both fun and crazy :lol:
