ConvertData

from Sins Forums

Hey all, just a few questions about ConvertData.exe. From what I understand, it turns modded .txt files into .entity files so the game can run quicker when using the modded file. However when I go to run ConvertData, all that happens is a command window opens that says "invalid # arguements" then quickly closes before anything can be done. I was just wondering if someone could help me by giving me detailed instructions on how to properly use this program.

Thanks

PDF wasn't much help, just to make sure we're talking about the same one: SINS_modset.pdf?

yes

i don't see how that could not be help


Once you have completed creating or editing any Sins text data
files you may want to convert them into binary to speed up load
times. This can be done by using the provided command line tool
“ConvertData.exe” .

The syntax is
convertdata

edit: oh i get it. you can't double click it. run it from the command line.
