Does anyone know how to create a new Y64 file? I'm using Y64 Manager which is apart of CommDevToolkit but in the Creator tab it requires a Y64 file?

Drag and drop an existing *.Y64 onto ImageConverter.exe

Then edit/replace the files and drag the *.Y64.files folder onto the EXE.

Thanks herbert3000. On a related note how do I generate a new Index Table for the Description.ini file?

You can ignore the IndexTable sections. Their sole purpose is to reduce the size of a Y64 files that contains large areas of water. That was relevant when all the assets had to fit on a single CD-ROM, but those days are long gone.

If you are wondering what the ExtraIndexTableF/X/Y/I sections are used for, you can have a look at this file.
