I cant install the graphics reader msg=comdlg32.ocx is missing in your system directory??? Im using XP.

Do you have this file in your WinXP\System32 ? Find one and copy there. (Google may help )

Try installing the older version found in the old downloads section. I remember that some system files were removed in the newer release.

that worked for me

im new and its my first time to work with the hex editor.

i really don't understand how to make readeble text.

the first thing i do is open the hex workshop 4.2 , then i open mission1.dat,
go to Tools > Operations > XOR...

then...

Treat data As > 8 Bit Unsigned Byte

Value : EF (Hex)

entire file and ok.

the numbers or codes are become red.
yet i don't know how to go on or i don't know ever i make no fault.
can someone help me please?

Yea, u have done everything okay, but now u have to SAVE it and open it with notepad.
I use Hex-Workshop too^^.
After u have edit missions, u should save NOTEPAD and shut down Hex-Wshp.
Then open it again (donno why, but i have to do this) use the XOR methode again and save it under mission.dat.

Now u can play it.
I hope u understand my english...

the map is there, my units ar there too. the troops of my enemie
are there. ok but no Warehouse. Only the Street is seen, no house.

Hmmm, lets have a look at that^^

wow you are talking and i dont understand a thing! :oops:

Hey, now i've almost finished my decoder-tool.
Ill release it at this Weekend, if possible.
With it it will be easier to edit ur *.dat files, because u mustnt use a HexEditor!

But if Kroms Finished editor apperars, i will delete download to decoder, of course

lol ther is already a decoder made by king harold
http://rapidshare.com/files/20729110/Missiondecode.exe.html

i uploaded it here.

Go to command prompt, navigate to the folder where the file is using cd
then typ the syntax.

Syntax:

MissionDecode source.extension destination.extension

exemple
MissionDecode dmission0.dat dmission0DECODED.txt
MissionDecode mission.txt missionENCODED.dat

Nick

lol
Yea, but i think, thats a little bit difficult.
My one works much faster. Its version 0.5 now, if anyone want to test it, send a PM to me.
U can simply add Units per klick.

There are some nice functions in it, which will speed up work on *.dat files.
Language: Delphi

got got i PM!

Im working hard on it!
Currently version = 0.8!
Here a pic:


Ive added some nice tools, u can easily choose buildings, units etc.
Ill add some more functions soon...

BTW: Does anyone know delphi`?
