Industrial Park (level editor)
Industrial Park is a tool made by community member igorseabra4 in C# using SharpDX. It is an editor capable of opening a number of HIP/HOP files and display the level, with models and textures for level and objects, as well as edit some of the asset types in Battle For Bikini Bottom, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights, The Incredibles and The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer for all platforms (except the point-and-click PC versions of the SpongeBob games).
This tool is based off from, and shares a lot of its source code with another one of the creator's tools: Heroes Power Plant, a tool to edit levels in Sonic Heroes. Being also based on the RenderWare engine, both games share their model format. It also gave Industrial Park the convention of being named after a level in the game. Industrial Park uses TxdGen for converting textures and vgmstream for previewing sounds.
The program is still under development, so features are still planned, and it is possible that functions of the tool don't work as expected.
