Locotool questiona

[speedy55]

Let me say at first how usefull is this tool and my real thanks to the author.

I have only two question about it:

1. Is it correct that trying to load some files (i.e CHEMICAL.DAT, BRDGSTAR.DAT, BLDCTY8.DAT) i get the message that these files are not DAT files?

2. Why trying to modify some files like IRONORE.DAT i dont get the real image file of the object?

Thanks in advance

First you have to drag the items you want to edit to locotool.exe, then it will produce decompiled .xml and .png files in your objdata directory, you can modify those files. You cannot directly modify the .dat(well not atleast with as good results).

I got the error message when i do exactly what you mention, but, i repeat, only with some DAT files (see some examples in my previous post).

[Villem]

are you shure you have the latest version?

[speedy55]

I have downloaded the 0.4

Then i do not know what is your problem, sorry.

Could I have some of my DAT files corrupted then? I'll try to reinstall Locomotion.

Some *.dat files simply are no decompileable objects for the game, they have a different file structure and are no real dat files.
the object dat file names are intuitive. ill do a list below this line:
----
The /Data folder :
No .dat file on this folder is decompileable with locotool V0.4

The /ObjData Folder:
....

Well, that's because all the .dat files in /Data are just standard wave files (well, most all). They can be played as-is by any decent media player .
