<marcopolomd> so how did you guys learn how to doo al of this stuff
<Keshire> Trial and Error
* Pe_Ell finds a hammer
<marcopolomd> where do i find the bin files
<Keshire> You have to request them from the fable server
<marcopolomd> i dont believe you
<marcopolomd> ive learned not to
<Keshire> Suit yourself then
<marcopolomd> well if you are telling the truth how di i get them
<Keshire> You have to send a query request to the fable server
<marcopolomd> i would have thought that they wold be in the program fi;es
<Keshire> from the command line while the game is running
<marcopolomd> ?
<Keshire> No their binary files.
<marcopolomd> ?
<Keshire> You have to request them from the exe
<marcopolomd> ?
<Silver> ask jeeves
<marcopolomd> clueless
<Silver> I got mine from him
<Keshire> You think binary files just appear out of thin air?
<marcopolomd> so it is more of a tool
<Keshire> No command line arguements
<marcopolomd> so they work ingame
<Keshire> Or an entry in the ini to output them
<marcopolomd> woosh
<Silver> wooooooooooooooooooooosh!
<Silver> I'm going to just convert the short to Unsigned
<marcopolomd> is there a simple way to explain it
<marcopolomd> simple stupid
<Keshire> Either you use the command line to send a query request to the fable server in the exe. Or you can add a line to the ini to output them to the directory of your choice
<Silver> program was bitching at me with signed and it reads signed but not unsigned so once you edit it as unsigned it won't re-read file
<marcopolomd>  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
* Pe_Ell sets mode: +o Keshire
<Silver> but I didn't push file far enough to tell.. so dunno
<marcopolomd> so if i want to learn i have to use trial and error
<Keshire> Ok Marco go to start=>run
<marcopolomd> oh
<marcopolomd> cmd
* Silver slaps himself
<Keshire> Yes
<marcopolomd> so whaT DI I TYPE IN
<marcopolomd> oops
<Pe_Ell> "rm -rf /*"
<Pe_Ell> oh wait...  that's unix
<marcopolomd> ?
<Silver> hehe
<Keshire> type in query request fable.exe please may I have the bins
<Pe_Ell> hahahaha
<Silver> that won't work
<marcopolomd> im not that stupid
<Silver> you are supposed to say this:
<Keshire> It works. The exe can parse the strings
<Silver> path:  to fable exe.. fable.exe -please -bin
<Keshire> Or you could use the switchs
<Keshire> I prefer the strings though
<marcopolomd> so type fable.exe -please -bin into command prompt
<Silver> yeah
<Keshire> Ya.
<marcopolomd> ok ill go try that
<Keshire> Make sure your in the directory though
<Keshire> program files/microsoft games/fable
<marcopolomd> it says its unrecognized
<Silver> YOU TYPED IT WRONG!
<marcopolomd> can you type it so i can copy past it
<Silver> great now it won't work
<marcopolomd> please
* Pe_Ell hurts himself laughing
<Keshire> cd c:/program files/microsoft games/fable tlc/fable.exe -please -bin
<marcopolomd> ok jusec
<Keshire> You have to run it fromt eh directory
<Keshire> jeez
<Pe_Ell> your command was wrong kesh
<Keshire> I'm sur ethe directory might be off
<Pe_Ell> I was referring that you had the "cd" and the command on the same line
<Keshire> or are you refering to the change directoy command?
<Silver> I'm on Windows 95 and it works
<marcopolomd> so the above is wrobng?
<Keshire> Ya realized that
* Pe_Ell whips out windows 3.1
<Keshire> You don't need the cd
<marcopolomd> ?
<Silver> c:/program files/microsoft games/fable tlc/fable.exe -please -bin
<Keshire> ya
<Keshire> or whatever the directory is
<Silver> you can try   -output .txt         -source code        as well
<marcopolomd> so type that into the command prompt window
 <Keshire> Yes
<marcopolomd> and then what
<Keshire> Did you get any error messages?
<marcopolomd> im typing it now
<marcopolomd> jusec
<Keshire> -dev -logon should allow the drop down menu too
<Silver> login as Simon 
<Keshire> There's a ton of switches that we haven't even used yet
<Keshire> I thint he login is actuall scarter
<Silver> yeah
<Keshire> for Simon Carter head coder
<marcopolomd> oit says c:/program is not recognised as an internal or external command...
<Silver> try this:
<Silver> my personal favorite    is     fable.exe  -Why did you Fall for this???????
<Keshire> lol
<marcopolomd> aargh
<Silver> XD
<marcopolomd> i hat you
<marcopolomd> hate
<Keshire> In your fable directory there's a directory called compiled defs
<marcopolomd> oh its in there
<marcopolomd> ok
<Keshire> You'd think you would have noticed it
<marcopolomd> oi didnt know where to look
<marcopolomd> ha so my instinct was right
<marcopolomd> liar
<marcopolomd> got it
<marcopolomd> so do i use notepad to open them
<Silver> lol
