VB6 Data Converter

[Matt]

[This is a VB6 project](http://www.mediafire.com/download/u6t7q4pikkxb0zy/EO_Converter.zip) that explains the way you can convert your game's data files for open source Eclipse engines. Keep in mind that this is just for educational purposes, and can't actually convert your data out of the box.

I don't actually get it? does this convert image to .dat?

i'll check it later

but i think it's better to give a little bit more information about this application before posting it xD

[Matt]

It doesn't convert images. It converts data, as explained in the original topic. So basically every .BIN file containing your data in your game.

So, i could technically copy my old servers udt and put it in old, put my old server items in the old folder, put my current server's udt in the new section and it will convert them?

Not out of the box. This is meant to teach you _how_ it's done. If you follow this structure, it will convert them yes.

i check the code.. it seems that you have to edit the source code to convert data..

it's better if you have a program which you can add data, delete data.. but it's a good starter converter xD

As stated twice before, this is for educational purposes. It's not meant to be something you can use as an application. You're meant to look at the code.

Oh ye, sorry about that.. I hope there are some boards here where you can teach newbies on how to use VB6 (Not on Programming Board, most of them are questions about different language)
