Hm, thats pretty good. I've always wondered about Mechwarrior games.

And here it is

Download from http://gamefileformats.the-underdogs.in ... -mw4-1.zip

Give the name of the compressed file (i.e. the ones that don't play) and as second parameter the name of the new file.

The source code is included, in case Mr.Mouse wants to add support to Mex.

Actually, John_doe, Rahly wrote a plugin manager that enables anyone to create a plugin for MexCom, with Non-activeX dll's. MexCom has two types of plugins. ActiveX (PGN) and those that work via Rahly's Plugin Manager (RPM).

Theoretically, instead of writing a command line tool,you could also write a plugin for MexCom by compiling a DLL.

You'd only have to get a skeleton dll with standard functions from Rahly (or peek in those that are already provided by MexCom) and fill in the blanks. It couldn't possibly be a lot more work.

john_doe

sounds great, but how do i use it?? when i double click DeLzw.exe, it just opens and closes a black screen really quick.

You need to use it from the command line.

Well, I can always try to get hold of some source code for you, if you're interested. I'll ask Rahly.

ok i figured how to work it now by typing a line such as this

C:\22\delzw.exe C:\22\commoffline_bet.wav C:\22\yes.wav

but is there anyway you can create a gui for this? such as:

source:_____ [browse button]
output:_____ [browse button]
[convert button]

there are A LOT [hundreds] of files I need to convert and this would save A LOT of time typing in each line of code. please?

Hmm... sounds like you might want to use a batch file for that... Unfortunately, I don't know any tutorials for them, and I don't know about writing them to make one for you.

Open a new text file and rename it to run.bat.

Then edit it so it contains this line:

Code: Select all

FOR %%F IN (*.*) DO (
delzw.exe %%F %%F.dec
)

This will scan the current directory for all files and attempt to decompress them to <filename>.dec

Make sure delzw.exe is in the same dir as the batch file.

So go to the dos console and run the batch file simply by typing 'run.bat'.
