I need help

binary vs text formats for modding

April 14, 2009 6:39:41 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

ok ironclad claims that their engine does not care if the game info files are in binary or in text formats well all the mods that i have that the files are in binary work however the mods that i have created using the text files released with the forge tools v3 seem not to be working they will just freeze up my game so if anyone is able to please explain to me what i am doing wrong and how can i go about fixing the problem.

The forge tools gameinfo data has not been update to reflect the changes in 1.02 or 1.16 of the game that is why

you should insert a better topic than "i need help". So other modders wil lknow that you need help where they can help. So most people just will not look at your post...

mooster is right, i recommend you pick up this tool: http://public.dekhranic.com/DK%20-%20SoaSE%20Mod%20Tool%20GUI%20-%201.3.0.2.zip .

1st re the read me, then make a copy of you info file and place it in its respected mod directory, then move all files that arent .entity to another place i.e. desktop (as if left in the folder they will cause a crash) mod what you want then either convert back to binary (faster loading) or leave them in text. replace the files you moved and your good to go.
