bagster Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I may be being thick (please tell me if i am) but i can't view the contents of the datafile. I read the camera editing tutorial and it says "open the datafile.txt with your favourite text editor". I assumed that notepad would open it as it is a .txt file and it does. Unfortunately all i see is this : ûCYí0xc38c638e 70 1;64 BAT_TIMEMOD;30 Contact_Parameters;19 Hoâower_Mod;8 Hiä;56 INSIDE_SPIN_VAL;T5éat_launch_angle;50 Vertical_bunt_zone;33 )àll_s"izá9 MAX_TOIP 8 Mˆ \48âfudgetime;45là_offE;2ãax_spin_RPM;16 BoáSpeed_MP1H;1ÂestÁ Î1 etc. Do i need to change the font? Do i need a different program? Thanks Simon Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/41585-editing-datafile/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The datafile is in a compressed format so before you can edit it in a text editor, you need to uncompress it. Use a utility like eazip and issue the following command: eazip -u datafile.txt You will then be able to edit the file. When you are done editing, compress the file again using the command: eazip -c datafile.txt You can find eazip on the Internet by simply googling for it.
