[SOLVED] ERFEdit: critical issue with Windows 10

[Salk]

Hello!

To my dismay I have found out that I have been corrupting a number of .mod files I had created some time ago when I was still using Windows XP and ERF Edit to do the job.

After migrating to Windows 10, I have made a few modifications to the content of a number of mods. I unpacked the one I created originally, made my modifications and then repacked it again.

And there started the problems...

Apparently, ERF Edit has big issues with files that end with "-" or "+" or "!" which are truncated. This applies, to my current experience, only to .ncs files that use that kind of format sometimes.

So, for instance, the tar_m02ae.mod I created that include scripts like:

 

k_ptar_duel01+.ncs

k_ptar_duel01.ncs

k_ptar_duel02+.ncs

k_ptar_duel02.ncs

k_ptar_duel03+.ncs

k_ptar_duel03.ncs

k_ptar_duel04+.ncs

k_ptar_duel04.ncs

k_ptar_duel05+.ncs

k_ptar_duel05.ncs

 

are completely screwed because what happens is that ERF Edit repacks them creating duplicates of the same file (without the "+" or the "-" or the "!"), breaking the game.

 

Is there another, more reliable tool that works with Windows 10?

 

Thanks!

I believe @Fair Strides fixed this bug in v0.5 -
