Coalesced INIs Web UI
Pack and unpack settings for select Unreal Engine 3 games on the Xbox 360.
This is the web version of the tool that gave birth to the Gears of War 2 60 FPS mod.
TLDR
To get started click Unpack and upload the Coalesced_int.bin file and it will
create a zip file with all the INIs.
When you have made your modifications, pack them up in a zip and use the Pack function to get
your Coalesced_int.bin file.
The long version
Xbox 360 titles using the Unreal Engine 3 (UE3) store their game and graphics settings in a binary encoded format
typically in a file called Coalesced_int.bin.
This file contains a lot of ordinary INI files and due to the binary encoding it is cumbersome to modify.
This tool helps you decode and encode the files to and from a collection of INI files.
To modify the settings:
- Unpack the binary settings into plain old INI files
- Extract the zip into a folder
- Modify whatever settings you want
- Create a zip with the contents of the folder (You must include metadata.json)
- Use the Pack function to create your new
Coalesced_int.binfile - Upload the modified file to your console, remember to update
