Hey agostinho bennett

Here is how to do the binary to text converting.

Note: I have use the FrigateTechCarrier.entity file has a example!

Make a new folder on the desktop and also an convert.txt file, and put the code in has follow, so it will make a new converted file.

convertdata.exe entity FrigateTechCarrier.entity FrigateTechCarriert_test.entity txt

Or this code will converts the same file.

convertdata.exe entity FrigateTechCarrier.entity FrigateTechCarrier.entity txt

save and close the file, then change the file to convert.bat.

The files you need in the new folder are has follow.

ConvertData.exe ( this is from the Sins of a Solar Empire main directory. )

Converter.bat ( this file you have just made, and it does the DOS stuff. )

FrigateTechCarrier.entity ( this file is just a example it will work with any of the files. )

Then just click on the convert.bat file, to do the DOS stuff and it will work fine.

If you're still running into problems just download the already converted files from here: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/336147

That'll come in handy for adding in changes to the game itself you wantto be permenant rather than a mod.

Hey dchan1936

Still having problems, can I ask what are you trying to do? Binary to Text, or Text to Binary or both?

Have you got all the right files you need in the folder to do the converting?

Also are you trying to convert the files from the original game or from the Entrenchment (Micro Expansion)? If you are I can't help with that, because I havn't got the EME yet.

Thats your problem then, I'm using version 1.12 and it work fine, update the game to 1.12 and the converting should work with no problems.

Doesn't the Forge Tools download come with the text files?
