Description

Description:

CfgConvert is a command line tool for converting configs between text and binary representation.
If you use the interface (cfgConvertGUI), based on the input file, it detects if it needs to binarize or unbinarize.

Usage

Line call:

cfgConvert.exe [-bin | -txt | -xml | -q | -test] {[-dst <destination>] <source>}
cfgConvertGUI.exe

Options:

• -bin - converts input to binarised config
• -txt - converts input to unbinarised config
• -xml - converts input to XML format
• -q - quiet mode, does not display errors
• -test - test mode, only loads the file and shows potential errors without writing anything
• -dst - defines the output destination
• -pcpp - outputs a preprocessed version of the input file

Examples:

// CPP to Bin
cfgConvert.exe -bin -dst p:\addon\config.bin p:\addon\config.cpp

// Bin to CPP
cfgConvert.exe -txt -dst p:\addon\config.cpp p:\addon\config.bin

// Binarized SQM to unbinarized SQM
cfgConvert.exe -txt -dst p:\Arma3\missions\myMission\mission_dest.sqm p:\Arma3\missions\myMission\mission_source.sqm
