Batch file to change all adm to text.

[nanenj]

This requires TLDAT from this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2903

Decompress Pak.zip in your torchlight folder, this will create a media folder and inside that will be all the torchlight data.

Copy TLDAT to your media folder, and the copy/paste the following code as decode.bat in the media folder.

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /s /b *.adm') do tldat "%%a"

Double click the bat file and after a short while all the .adm files should have plain text versions without the .adm extension. You can use any of these files as the basis for a mod

Wasn't sure if this went better here or in mod discussion.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!


...I think you just became my hero!


Just want to let people know all these files will be released with the editor in plain text form as well. BUT THIS IS JUST FREAKIN' AWESOME!!

cool, very useful

one little addition to the bat file

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /s /b *.adm') do tldat "%%a"

rem this makes a file called torchlight_dats.txt
rem in the user's folder
rem and writes the location of all the dat files

dir /s *.dat > %USERPROFILE%\torchlight_dats.txt

Thanks, this is pretty useful.

I downloaded the v2 mod of the cat so it would be bigger, but there's no change in size. I also tried to edit my Dog.DAT.adm and change the scale to 1.6 but there was also no change in size.

3: copy tldat.exe into the pak folder
4: open notepad
5: paste this into notepad

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /s /b *.adm') do tldat "%%a"
dir /s *.dat > torchlight_dats.txt


6: save the file as make_dats.bat
7: save it in the pak folder
8: double click on make_dats.bat
9: wait 3 minutes (more or less)
10: open and read torchlight_dats.txt
