pretenders .2h file specification

[QXel]

Hum ...

Made some tests ...

Apologies: catgod works perfectly, even with 3.17, at the only condition you use it as it must be used.
In others words: don't be AS DUMB AS ME and DON'T try to view 2h files in another directory than ...\savedgames\newlords, AS IT IS SAID!

In fact, I'll try to view pretenders files in a running game subdirectory, and THEN I have something completly different as output, like KJHKHG00000fdh etc. as name, no scale and insane magic: Fire 127 Water 159 and so!!!

Well, to bad: my intentionnaly main use of it was to view my unsaved-just-for-this-game created pretenders ...

Seems that file formats are differents.

Herode: this program looks cool. What its name exactly and where have you find it (i.e. the exact thread: I've made a research on the mod forum, but since the research function isn't very 'aware', I didn't find anything ...)?

Different file format for temporary pretenders? Well, now that's interesting. Thanks for finding this, QXel! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon09.gif[/img]

In case anybody's curious, I think I'll have time to update catgod for Dom3.17 this weekend. Ich found and fixed some bugs, so I need to do a little more work than usual for a new version. I gotta merge in Ich's changes and check to see if there's anything else I missed.

He's talking about *.2h / *.trn files after the games have started. Then catgod attempts to read the files, but can't find the stuff because the pretender data is stored elsewhere.
