Brushes File Help

March 6, 2009 8:44:59 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I'm trying to edit .brushes files, specifically the HUDIcon-Ships.brushes file. Whenever I open it I get this:

BIN

’HUDICON_CAPITALSHIP_TECHCOLONYStatesUnit_Hud_Disabledà5Unit_Hud_Pressedà5Unit_Hud_CursorOverà5Unit_Hud_Normalà5Unit_Hud_Normalà5HUDICON_CAPITALSHIP_TECHCARRIERStatesUnit_Hud_Disabledhà—Unit_Hud_Pressedhà—Unit_Hud_CursorOverhà—Unit_Hud_Normalhà—Unit_Hud_Normalh

And so on for a couple pages. I've tried using convertdata but it doesn't change anything. Anyone know how to get this readable so I can edit it?

 

Thanks,

Theascended121

You do have to use convertdata, only instead of 'entity' parameter for its command line, use 'brushes'. They do convert, I did it a few days ago

Ok, i put the file I want to convert and the Convertdata_Entrenchment in my C directory. I open run cmd and type "ConvertData_Entrenchment brushes HUDIcon-Ship.brushes HUDIcon-Ship.txt" and I get the same unreadable stuff as before. What am I doing wrong?

Are you taking the brush files from the \Entrenchment folder? The other thing I think the default is txt>bin for convertdata, so try adding 'txt' after the last file name, so ConvertData_Entrenchment brushes xxx xxx txt

Adding the txt at the end worked.

Thanks Annatar11,
