This page is meant to list all PES tools that we recommend worth using in one place.

For other useful non-PES related software: Software

All PES versions

Edit File

• 4ccEditor - An editor (for any PES since PES16 EDIT files) with several convenient features, including editing aesthetics settings and the ability to port teams between versions. This is the recommended editor to use and the only one updated regularly.

Aesthetic Exports

• 4cc aet compiler Red (grab the 7z in the Assets box)
  

This tool converts aesthetic exports into a cpk and automatically adds the cpk to the PES DLC filelist, so that you can easily test your team's aesthetics.
It also warns about any errors in the export, so you can use this tool to check if you've compiled it properly.
Please read the readme file included to learn how to use it. Read the AET wikipage for details on how to properly prepare an aesthetic export.
You can also keep track of the latest updates and download experimental versions on the GitHub page. Feel free to report bugs and request new features on the Issues section.

• Aesthetics Converter (19 to 16)
  

This tool converts aesthetic exports from the Fox format (PES19 specifically, but 18 and 21 should work after transferring your tactical export) into the Pre-fox format used by PES16 and PES17.
The page includes full instructions and solutions to the most common issues.

Referees

• 4cc refs compiler - Packs your referee folders according to the folder names listed on the refs list txt. It supports both fmdls, with automatic texture path changing, and .model files. You do need to replace the player ID 'XXXxx' with 'referee000' manually on the texture path from any face fmdl models you want to use. Includes an example ref folder.

Balls

• 4cc balls compiler - Packs your ball folders according to the folder names listed on the balls_list txt. It supports both fmdls, with automatic texture path changing, and .model files.
