Hey all, ok i have noticed when using a String file the text looks a WHOLE lot better than what it does in a CSF file. But is there a way to transfer my strings ive wrote in the CSF file to a String file, so i dont have to create a new string file and do EVERY string word for word so to speak. Any help would be much appreciated. or in other words how do i convert my CSF file to a STR file??
I haven't opened a csf or str file in awhile, so I might be off by a bit. In one of the CSF editors, there is an export to INI feature (file>export>to ini. file) You do that and rename the file to a .str file.
Open it with textpad (google it) or other text editor with regular expression find and replace. Here's what you do:
- Delete everything from the beginning to the end of [Table]
- Delete excess enters & spaces at the end of the file, but keep one enter at the end
- do a find and replace (ctrl+h in textpad) and make sure regular expressions is checked
- set Find What to: \n|
- set Replace With to: \\n
^ please note the extra space in the beginning and end
- Press "replace all" to go through the entire file
- set Find What to: \n
- set Replace With to: "\nEND\n
- Replace All
- set Find What to: =
- set Replace With to: \n"
- Replace All
Done!.... I'm doing this from memory so I'm not totally sure if it works 100%.
Well it worked for me mate, thanks alot mate much appreciated.
Also i dont soppose you know how to make Generals challenge intro videos do you?? like in pro:gen when you have a challenge between Ironside and that chinese general there pictures pop up (example) General ironside Vs General leang (or whatever her name is), you know what i mean or have i lost you??
As for the generals challenge intro videos, the only way i would guess, on how to get one is to extract the bmp of all the frames (using bink & smacker) for an existing general and edit each frame with a picture of another general and reconvert the series of bmps to .bik with bink & smacker.

or in other words how do i convert my CSF file to a STR file??
