Cannot convert entities from bin to txt

from Sins Forums

I am trying to convert the 1.16/1.02 entity files to txt, but the tool included in Forge Tools 3 doesn't work for me when trying to convert some files. 1.16 hangs on CAPITALSHIP_PHASEBATTLESHIP.entity and 1.02 crashes on PLANETMODULE_PHASEORBITALCANNON.entity.

I thought I would get around this by using the reference files included with Forge Tools, but these files cause Entrenchment v1.02 to not start. Is there any way to get the correct entity files for the most recent version of Sins?

well it would not since that tool was ment for 1.1 and 1.5 i believe. the convert data you need to use is in your sins install directory.

did you use the convertdata*.exe 's from the sins folder? or the old ones from the forge tools?

I had used the convertdata*.exe 's from the sins installation to create my un-offical sins 1.16 & entrenchment 1.02 reference sets which are here

hope this helps

Ugh, yeah, I was using the Forge tools, I never even noticed the ones sitting in the install directory. Many thanks for the quick help!
