Akula_pff Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 You don't need to recompress,the game perfers the folders over the compressed files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teradyn_pff Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 After you extract the Config.meg file into its respective folders, don't remove your Config.meg file for those of you who remember the BFME ini.big file. If you remove it you will have nothing in your single player campaign list at all.... and don't ask me how I know that : My Death Star is bigger than your Death Star!"The XML is strong with this one!"http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/0/teradyn.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seewolf Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 mhh people. i dont know if i want to download the files and make the demo to a maybe 70% full version of the game.have some one inform the people from la or pg about this mod or modifikation? maybe they have made a small mistake with the demo which can be give some problems to people. Why is English one of the most speaken languages? German is more better, it sounds better and i did unterstandt it ^^ but for you i will spoke english too, not good but you should unterstand me ^^ "Der Preis der Freiheit, ist ewige Wachsamkeit" Col.

SirNuke Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Let's see... 25%+ of the models are missing...No multiplayer....Two usable maps....No single player campaign...Very incomplete AI...Unable to save or load games... I wouldn't worry about replacing the game. Zing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The app certainly seems to be the best of the MEG extractors released so far. However, it looks like it is hard coded to only open files in \GameData\Data\ - it won't access any others (i.e. the ones in \GameData\Data\Audio\SFX\), even if you move them into the \GameData\Data\ folder.

chr0n1x Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 About that AI, I do not think is is as incomplete as you say, it is pretty good if setup right, both empire and rebel are in there and they can be pretty tough given right conditions, stuff has to be unlocked though, the demo was not designed for AI. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/Chr0n1x/sig.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, as the author of this application, i will explain why i did that in the first release, and didn't do a common file->open routine. There is an xml file in the data folder called megfiles.xml, that is the file that i am reading in order to get a list of the actual used meg files in the games, if you would like to open other ones (temporarly) you can add them in the same format to the megfiles.xml file in that directory. I will be modifying it to allow file->open on any .meg file, but first i wanted to make sure that my .meg reading was perfect before starting the modification process and creation of .meg files. But as a poster stated above, the game will run faster with a files in the folders rather then in the .meg, the .meg are just a way to clean everything up, although this file format is definately much faster then some of the previous westwood/ea file formats i have seen. Any more issues, please let me know, there was an updated version of the application, make sure you have the latest version.

Dante_pff Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 What about recompressing the extrated files cain? The files are not stored in a compressed format, only an indexed file archive. Thus why you see so many extractors on the market so quickly. Currently you can just extract all to your gamedata folder, and then mod the files it creates, and the game will read them, although there are plans for many updates for this application, including, edit, delete, and create new .meg files. Hope this answers a few of your questions. Founder & Lead RenEvo Software & Design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorPayne Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Dante. Does the program resave DDS files as theres no free program that can resave them correctly?? Also how about a group extraction option (i.e it'll scan through the entire directory, locate ALL meg files and extract to the folder structure)??

Dante_pff Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 the DDS files are currently just extracted, and not modified in any way, in the future you will have an option to convert them to other formats, but it is up to you to work with the DDS format. Knowing these guys how they are, you can probably use .tga with the same filename, and it will work. Group Extraction: Will work on it, thanks for the suggestion.
