Ok I have been reading so much lately my eyes have gone crossed.... In all my reading I came across a spill or something about editing the .txt files in .bin files, or maybe I dreamed that. I also came across an explanation as to the assertion errors. I don't need it explained, unless you just want to. If someone could point me in the direction of this info it would make me a happy beaver.

Welcome to the fold.. check your sanity at the door.

.txt files MAKE .bin files when using the -direct -txt method.

As for any error codes, those will pop up no matter how good you are. Get used to them. There's really no guide of "here's what this error code means" out there.. but we'd be glad to pin down whichever ones you get hit by.

I am actually using the -direct -txt method right now, but I don't have a .txt of one of the files that I am looking for. Which is where my whole problem with the .bin came from. I am guessing that if you can't pull the .txt out of the .bin then I need to go and get the original .txt out of one of the .mpq files. Am I correct in this?

Sorry.. I should have been a bit more clear in what I was asking for the errors. I am getting several different assertion errors and I think that I have pinned down where they might be coming from, but I am not certain in this. But I know I came across something telling about how most of the assertion errors come about. I don't remember where so I figured I would ask. But I think it was something in one of naming .tbl files.

A little about me: I am somewhat of a do it myself person, but sometimes I need help. And believe me, I wear people out with questions sometimes. I try not to ask for someone to do it for me, because how will I ever learn if someone else is always doing it for me. So don't be suprised to see a whole lot of questions from me for a general direction.

I also tried looking for that "here's what this error code means" manual as well.... only to find it is a python quest for the holy grail...

At almost the very bottom of this page are the .txt files you need. I suggest using the Mod Studio on this same page to mess with them, but Excel works almost as well..

And don't worry, we don't bite ... well, most of us don't ..

I just Re-read your post.. Yeah, if they're not in there (which they should be) they'll be in one of the .mpq files..

Between that and the info that I found in the hex editing tutorial Foxbat posted,(many thanks for that) I think I am good to go for the moment. Looks like I get to do some hex editing, wahoo! I think...

You don't bite? You mean this isn't the S & M mod forum?

Thanks for the info......
