How do I create a scrolling credits file for Bf1942?

Post by professor_smith »

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to create a scrolling credits file for Bf1942?

Thank You,

Either edit the LexiconAll.dat file in your bf1942 Mods folder or edit the CreditsMenu meme file in your menu.rfa (with the MemeFile Editor that comes with the BF MDT).

First choice would probably be the easiest.

However, I attempted to use LexTxt.exe to convert my LexiconAll.dat file to a txt file, and it doesn't work. I drag the LexiconAll.dat file over the exe file, and it pops command prompt up, says:

Converting .dat --> .txt
numRows: 1693, numCols: 9
Press any key to continue . . .

Then, after I press a key, the command prompt window disappears, and there is no newly created txt file. I have also tried using the command prompt command line:

LexTxt.exe LexiconAll.dat LexiconAll.txt

.........And the same exact thing happens. It says its doing something, but nothing is being done.

If you have any idea how to get this to work, I would appreciate it. I have to release my mini-mod HTroop by October 1st, and I really need to get these credits completed.

Thank You,

plus:
rightclick on lexTxt , change compatibility mode in WindowsXP(servicepack3), run as admin
maybe that helps
