Mod Converter?
NOTE: This may not belong in this board, so if it belongs in Mod Making, please move it. Anyway, is there any mod converter out that is not notepad, I have some old B18 mods I would love converted. I'm too lazy to convert them by Notepad. Don't flame me!

Re: Mod Converter?
all notepad does is text. and guess what, mods are coded using text, notepad is the simplest way of modding. a program that will magicly convert old code to the current build's code doesnt exist.
i suggest you take a look at the mod making section stickies, you should be able to learn how to do it your self from there.

Re: Mod Converter?
Standard notepad will do everything you need.
Notepad++ is overkill for editing .ini's.

Re: Mod Converter?
Notepad++ has a useful feature: find and replace 'in all opened files.' It makes converting much simpler: 1) Open all the .inis that need to be converted in notepad++. 2) Press "Ctrl + H." 3) In "Find What," type what varaible needs to be changed according to this page. 4) In "Replace With," type the corresponding "New" variable. 5) Hit "Replace All in All Opened Documents." 6) Repeat the process for all the variables that need to be changed within the .ini. Hope that helps.

EDIT: Halkon, here's the converter program: LinkLoad the conversion file first (included), then the file that needs to be converted.

Re: Mod Converter?
The mod I'm trying to convert doesn't work when I use the program, it's the advancewars mod.

Re: Mod Converter?
Or it could be a problem with my converter.
Does it error while loading the mod, or does it not work in gameplay?
