Need a bit of help using convertdata

April 5, 2009 5:37:41 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Got a question, I downloaded forgetools 3 off the site and decided to try messing around with modding, but whenever I try to run convertdata.exe so I can understand the entity files a window briefly flashes on screen then closes. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I missed in the pdf files included with the tools?

the correct convertdata is the one in the SINS folder as the one in the forge tools is from 1.15/entrenchment 1.01.

if  you just need the converted files I have already converted and 7zipped them on this page

hope this helps

Thanks. Got a question though, when you run ConvertData_Entrenchment.exe from the sins folder, is the window suppose to stay open? Or is it suppose to open a window for a second then close?

 

Mine is doing the latter and I'm don't know if its working as intended or broken.

the convertdata*.exe are apparently designed to work from a batch(command line) file only so that is normal behavior if you click on the exe in windows. in my unofficial reference files I have included the batch files thatI used to convert with the appropriate convertdata exe
