Reply to {utility release} GUI for convertdata to automate the conversion of files in folders between BIN & TXT in Sins Modding Sins Forums

mystic angel my gui looks to the PATH to determine which convertdata to use eg it the path contains entrenchment it uses the convertdata_entrenchment , bit if it does NOT contain 'entrenchment' or 'diplomacy' or 'third expansion' it uses the convertdata+originalsins*.exe it also looks for a version number in the type folder it then uses the correct version eg entrenchment 1.01 or entrenchment 1.02 or entrenchment 1.03 or originalsins 1.15,1.16 or 1.17 to do the conversions I have also

Reply to Crashes upon loading a map in Technical Sins Forums

does any other program give problems? if not then try verifying the sins/entrenchment installation if yes then it could be ram causeing the problem, shut down the computer, remove & re-install ram, if problem persists the test ram with a ramtest program(could be a faulty ram stick), also might be an oxidized connector so unplug and re-plug all the connectors to hdd's. hope this helps harpo

Reply to {utility release} GUI for convertdata to automate the conversion of files in folders between BIN & TXT in Sins Modding Sins Forums

does the path to the files you want to convert contain the sins version and expansion, eg sins 1.17/mods 1.17 or entrenchment 1.03 as examples? my utilities (both the mod updater AND the txt bin gui use the path to the file to determine the convertdata to use. the version 1.1 modding utilities does contain the convertdatas for sins 1.15,1.16 & 1.17 and entrenchment 1.01,1.02,1.03 and the utilities are altered to look in their directory to find & use the convertdata

the string names ARE EXACT CASE ONLY in BOTH the entity AND the string, so a single letter in a DiffErenT Case is a different string the two abilities/buffs appear to not be used in any frigate/capital in entrenchment or sins, so they could be added to a frigate to test them harpo

dsjack has the correct location, bit the filename for the english file is 'english.str'. you also have to add the number of strings you have added to the count at the TOP of the file otherwise you will get the dreaded "STRING NOT FOUND" error ingame harpo

the first txt SHOULD be entity and the file extension NEEDS to be .entity especially when converting to bin for use in game, but sins & entrenchment can work with TXT mode entity files. the commandline should read conversion_program Filetype(eg.entity) file_namesource file_namedestination conversion_type eg convertdata_entrenchment.exe entity c:\CAPITALSHIP_IMP_ISD0.entity c:\CAPITALSHIP_IMP_ISD0.entity TXT or convertdata_entrenchment.exe entity c:\CAPIT
