A Question about ConvertData tool

I've download the ForgeTools 1.1 which are great, I've converted a modity file from the ReferenceData folder into binary with no problems, but when I try to convert it a back to editable texts it stays in binary can someone help me out please.

 

Here is how I have been doing the text to binary converting.

 

I have made a convert.txt file, and put the code in has follow, so it will make a new converted file.

 

convertdata.exe entity CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP.entity CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP_test.entity

 

Or this code so it converts the same file.

 

convertdata.exe entity CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP.entity CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP.entity

 

save and close file, then I change the file to convert.bat.

 

I had have all the files need in the folder to convert to binary.

ConvertData.exe

msvcr80.dll

Converter.bat

CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP.entity

Then I just click on the convert.bat file to do the DOS stuff and this seem to work fine, but how do you do the binary to text?

Whichever way I try it doesn't convert it back to editable texts.

 

Any help with doing this would be greatly appreciated thank you. :thumbsup:

use the one in the sins folder not forgetools one, you will be successful

 

also the format should be:

convertdata entity [file from] [file to] txt

that will take a binary and make it readable

also see this forums thread:

start with reply #2 and then at the bottom I put in the line for the batchfile instead of command prompt
