ok mate what u tring to convert ?
if u want to get into the vietcong files.. then u need to unpack the vietcong_eu_01 to your desktop or something.. this will pack all the folder in that cbf show in your desktop like the INI, G, LEVELS, DEV..
once u have edited what.. say u edited the Weap.dat file which should be something like Desktop\INI\DAT\Filename.DAT
u will also have about another 30.DAT files in there.. you dont need all off them u just need the 1 WEAP.DAT u edited..
what i do is make a new folder in the desktop call it Hacks..
then inside that folder create your folders that u edited the dat..
so in this case it would be INI.. then inside that DAT then copy over your weap.DAT in there
so it will look like Desktop\Hacks\INI\DAT\Weaps.DAT
so u can always go back and edit it.
now go back into total commander get to your desktop and then get to your hacks folder where u will see the INI folder..
now select that file and pack it to the .CBF and name it something like weap.CBF
then place it in your vc folder
it is important u make the folders or the game will not no where to look for the file and it ends up crashing your game or just not working..
if this was not the help you were looking for sorry lol..
it sounds like your trying to open up a .dat file
if thats all it is.. just unpack it to your desktop os somehwre again and there will be more stuff to look at when unpacked..
so if your trying to get stuff out your maps folder like
dustworld.cbf = USELESS nothiong good in there..
dustworld.dat = Jackpot..
u cant just open up the .dat and use notepad it comes up alot of jibbirishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..
u need to unpack the .dat and inside u will see folders like DUSTWORLD\ TEX, OBJ DATA dustworld.sco all stuff to do with the map editor and this is the way forward to hack by editing the maps
"" just reading over what i wrote looks confusing if u got a question pm me or just ask il try my best to answer ""
