.strings.bin converter

[Re Berengario I]

Now what would be useful is a bin maker tool so we won't have to use a fake moddir in case we're messing with the original files using the --io.file_first.
As you probably know the game doesn't recreate bin files from new text files sitting in the original data\text folder.

Still having problem with newly added names - no new BIN file is generated and there is nothing in log.Campaign loads OK but characters appear with blank spaces instead of names

EDITED:

problem solved, it turns out names BIN file was not an original one

Is the Conversion of these files absolutelly necessary?

I mean I do recognise export_units there, and in RTW that was the file with the Dictionary descriptions, but Alpaca you said in your download section that it is usefull for other languages than English...

Does that means that there is the same for english somewhere else this time and conversion of this is only necessary if we want to edit localised text?

Thanks

EDIT: Never mind please, we have to convert there isnt any other way. So for now I do not intend on making changes of descriptions, I gonna start playing with changing Unit/Building stats, but I got your tool thanks :)

*wonders why CA made it harder to change things in such a crucial moding file this time around*

[ohoho]

thanks mate !
