Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The information in any of these files is compiled, it is not immediately intelligible. I use a freeware hex editor called Hexplorer. To see the maps, I open the the town or outdoor dat file in MS-Dos Prompt's Edit command. Simply type Edit at the command prompt and hit Enter. Then when opening the files, choose an Open Binary value of 32, 48 or 64. For an understanding of what the ASCII characters actually mean, see some of my A# Template Spreadsheets: http://ishadnha.webs.com/A1MediumTownsDecryptor.zip http://ishadnha.webs.com/A2LargeTownsDecryptor.zip http://ishadnha.webs.com/A3OutdoorsTerrain.zip (The actual templates are http://ishadnha.webs.com/A1Template.zip, http://ishadnha.webs.com/A2Template.zip and http://ishadnha.webs.com/A3Template.zip. Only the first was finished.) If you don't have Excel, there is the OpenOffice suite of programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
