ConvertData_Entrenchment = broken starbases?

from Sins Forums

Been trying to update a mod for 1.02 Entrenchment but something isn't working. Everytime I would try the game Starbases would just disappear, but would reappear if I went back to 100% original data. So I went and did a CovertData_Entrenchment on the entire GameInfo folder in Entrenchment folder, then without touching any files started the game, same problem!

CoverData_Entrenchment cannot convert some of the files(tactical modules seems to be) and breaks the Starbases.

Take the Vasari Starbase for example. Very last lines come out like this after converting(obviously something is broken)

 

rotateToFacePlanet TRUE
rotateConstantly FALSE
maxAccelerationLinear 0.000000
maxAccelerationStrafe 0.000000
maxDecelerationLinear 0.000000
maxAccelerationAngular 0.000000
maxDecelerationAngular 0.000000
maxSpeedLinear -260497533392692300000000000000000000000.000000
maxRollRate -3966914483007958300000000000000000000.000000
maxRollAngle 0.000000
mass -260043207417570500000000000000000000000.000000

 

 

First idea to fix it was to take the Reference Data from 1.01 and replace those lines with the reference data information, but nope did not work!

 

So currently stuck, cannot access the tactical module files at all, and the Starbase files get ruined after converting to text.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

Forgot to make it clear, I am using the ConvertData_Entrenchment from the actual game directory, the one that came with the 1.02 patch, and have tried deleting it and letting Impulse verify my installation and redownload the .exe, no success.

Ya, I have a similar problem, after converting from a mod entity files from bin to text, for some reason, I usually get a break in a word, most of the time, missing characters. So I got a program that will allow me to read bin, then edit in text and they convert back to binary form instead of converting all bin to text and editing

How did you do that? When I try to convert multiple files at once using ConvertData_Entrenchment.exe I get a crash with nothing converted.

Can I have a link to this program please, and does it support Entrenchment 1.02?

Either google it or https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/336084/page/4, it supports all you just have to define the convertdata file
