DOS/WeiDU Help

[BevH]

I'm trying to extract a file from the game to look at for an example for dialogue. I know there's a way to do this as there used to be a tutorial. But I can't find the tutorial anymore, and weidu isn't any help. Can anyone here help me out, pretty please?

Is this the tute you're looking for? http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php?topic=102.0

 

Also, if you're not trying to extract a .dlg file, Near Infinity and Infinity Explorer are invaluable. I'm not sure offhand, but DLTCEP may let you extract a .dlg as a .d file...

Thanks, I did see that, but there was another one that, I believe, showed how to extract Sir Sarles .d file. But I used DLTCEP and I think I got what I needed. Still, it's frustrating that I can't remember. Oh, and thanks, Icelus.

A-ha. Sir Sarles was the clencher.

Also, take a look at the various PowerToys/TweakUI utilities from Microsoft for the various Windows flavors. From the right-click menu in folders, you can open a DOS prompt in that folder (skipping steps 1-6 ).

 

PowerToys for XP - Open Command Window Here - may also work for 2000 (not sure)

PowerToys for Win 95 - Command Prompt should also work for Win 98, Win Me and NT4. I don't know about the rest of the components, though.

 

edit: These are in regards to Kismet's tutorials. Bev and icelus got in a few posts while I was trying to (slowly) respond and discover this wasn't what they were looking for at all. .

[BevH]

Ah, thanks Icelus. I was beginning to think maybe I'd dreamed it.

 

And thanks to you as well, Cam.

Yes, the Power Tools from MS are very handy and should be looked into by everyone, so sayeth icelus.

I agree, I`ve been using them from back since I got Windows 95.
