The goal of this guide is to provide a simple modding experience but still using the proper tools and techniques. To start modding in SBTF you must know a few things first, all of the games assets are stored in the .nwf file within your steam folder, this file cannot be opened without an external tool which is linked in this guide. To find this folder go to and it should be there, if not then please verify your games files and try again. The textures in game can be easily edited to whatever you wish them to be but sadly at the moment there is no way to edit the meshes, this is due to them being a proprietary format and us not knowing how to open and edit them as of writing this, but for reference the files that are meshes are .blendmesh .xmesh and .bumpmesh. The main file being blendmesh which is an animated mesh format.



SBTF extractor and re-packing tool with batch file. [github.com] or you can edit the program with the source code [github.com] .

Any image editing program.


Run the batch and press 1.
If your using the source code version, open cmd in the SBTFTool folder and enter
then to generate the schema.xml which is needed to re-compress the file.


Run the batch and press 3.
If your using the source code version, open cmd in the SBTFTool folder and enter
and a nwf file will be generated, if you cannot find it in your current folder, go to your user folder and it should show up there.

NOTE: Do not change any of the file types otherwise the game will not load.


Uploading your game can be done in a few places but it is recommended to do so on nexusmods. [www.nexusmods.com]
When uploading set the game as "Space Beast Terror Fright" and not SBTF to keep it all together.
Remember you have to have every file in the NWF file and not just the edited file.

You can also upload the mods on the Discord [discord.gg], on the #unverified-sbtf-mods.
