You can convert back to binary if you want, it's not necessary, it just makes the files smaller so they load faster.

Nah, no karma for you.  I need to find how to give it through the op.

 

EDIT: Why can't I give it through the op? Whatever, I'm off to find a random post to give him karma through.

The karma button is hidden on the OP.. but if you hover your mouse just to the right of the karma-meter, the button is clickable (and the mouse hover tooltip will read Give Yarlen +1 Karma) :P

13 karma???

*ahem* 14. Holding Entrenchment hostage is just MEAN.

I propose the reverse: release the Entrenchment beta so everyone would have many more reasons to give karma :)

Heeeeeeey. Are we supposed to convert the data files ourselves? Or will you guys get the folder with the text versions together?

EDIT: will the developer exe we downloaded earlier work with 1.1?

I had to convert the files... it took all of 2 secs... gave you Karma Blair

That's what I'm talking about, the main Forge Tools package is still @ 1.05 - and no, the dev exe and data are different :)

The full package is coming, uploading to servers now.

is it done away with or is it renamed or can I import the v1.05 back in?

There's a gameplay.constants in your Sins install GameInfo folder, it's always in text so you can use it.
