How to use tool for edit GroupTex.
1. Download then open .exe
2. Select Group.tex in Res-Tex
3. (optional but suggest) Select Interface.tex in Res-Tex (make sure file wasn't encrypt and not TGA inside. i lazy to make C# support tga. for now it work with PNG)
4. Click Start Editor
5. Select file category interface that you need (example "warp")
6. after edit click save. all done


and let's check VID if you don't know how to use on real case.
* beware if you change interface element that need to interact with mouse/keyboard position. you still need to adjust define positon on Source interface file (cpp).example you make interface more width like +50 width. so you need to plus 50 width to X position in source and 25 width for center element (half of width).
