sumanuti gave me some helpful information on CreatID through a link
unfortunatly for me i don’t apear to have a RUN function does anybody Know where it would Be on a W-7 64 or how i would work around the lack of the function.

If you are referring to the command prompt found in XP, (my Box’s OS) I bypassed it by making a .bat (batch) file. Simply open a notepad file (or w-7’s equiv), type in your code, and save as a filename.bat (Where file name is your choice, ie CreatID.bat) Put this file in the folder where your CreatID app is located. Then simply dbl click the .bat file, and viola! it’s done it’s thing.

Example .bat file text (I use it to convert ms3d to Descent 3 .orf files)

ORFTOOL -SM:BENCH.ms3d -DO:BENCH.orf 
pause

Edit: For my example I had to make sure that the ms3d file was in the folder that the ORFTOOL and my .bat file were.

in Ms3d any thought’s as to why

My method: Press the printscreen button on my keyboard, then open Paint, paste. Crop as needed, then save as a .jpg.

To quote someone, hit the quote box that’s next to reply at the bottom of each post. Then edit for the part you wish to quote. Make sure you don’t delete the [/qoute] or it won’t work.

you guys are my teachers i’m unfamiliar with the code thing

can you give me a breakdown of what the terms are and do so i can apply it to my need. i don’t want the answer given to me so much as a brief explanation so i can learn from it

but if the solution is easier for you ill take what i can get.

Code:

ORFTOOL -SM:BENCH.ms3d -DO:BENCH.orf
pause

Plz pardon the double posting, I’m responding on my iPhone.

As I said before, the above code is what I use for file converting from one format to another. It was meant as a example of the text in one of my .bat files. But I will explain what is going on with this text.
ORFTOOL is the name of the command line program. It was designed to be operated in the DOS command prompt.
-SM tells the program the name of the source file, bench.ms3d in this case.
-DO tells the program this is the file name of the converted file, bench.orf in this case.
pause just lets keeps the window open so you can see what was done.
I have no knowledge of W-7 or if using a .bat file would work in that OS, but I find it easier to use than the Cmd prompt.

YW bud. My modding knowledge is limited in comparison to others here at TSP, but I am happy to share what I do know.
