First of all there are no really guides in the programmes I've downloaded, I assume this is due to the fact that most people know how to operate such programs. I've downloaded the programs "decompress utility" and "cmputil.exe" and both zips only contain a DOS program icon. I've tried unzipping it to the DW directory and run it from there, but all that happens is that I get a short black glimps and then nothing....
I'm sure that I'm doing some kind of mistake, but as previously mentioned....I am new to this  |
The cmputil program causes some lines of code to run in DOS which will close when completed, so your observations aren't inidicative that anything wrong is happening. The cmputil and the associated files should be run from the Graphics folder though, so if you're not running it there, then cmputil is not accomplishing what it is supposed to.
(EDIT: and apparently, TLAM has a similar program for the interface as well. That would be run from the interface directory, again, with any associated files [if such files exist]).
Again, I want to stress that the cmputil will only make the SM-1 model available in the database (EDIT: or make changes to the inferface that make the SM-1 appear). It will not cause that model to be referenced by any entity in the sim, nor will it change the stats of the Perry's SM-2 to be that of the SM-1. Those changes need to be made in the database.
