With the latest update of entrenchment (beta 2.5)

 

HUDIcon-Ability.brushes

You convent them the same way with the same way you convert the entity.

I tried to convert them to text, but they stayed in binary format. All the other files converted fine. Am I doing something wrong?

The best way to convert binaries to text is,

copy your files into a source folder and convert them into a new destination folder with the convertData.exe.

converting the files directly within the installation folders makes only trouble.

 

also use always the convertdata.exe from your sins installation folder,

cause the exe from the forge tools are not working with newer files (eg. from the betas)

 

my error on converting the brushes was that i used jizz GUI Mod Tool for converting,

and it seems that only entity files can opened with his tool.
