Help with a .dis file...

[Nitelthrome]

I finally exported my .map file into a .zvl, then a .div, then into a .vol. But where in the process is the .dis? Through every tutorial I've read, it's all about dis making, but the finished product is always a .div in a .vol! So my    is this:

How would I get my .div (or .zvl, .map, whichever file you do it with) into a .dis?

Any help is appreciated!

Simply...In the .vol
If your thing is named house
The .vol file will contain...

house-00.dig
house-000.dil
house.dis
house.dml

But where do I get these files? See, when I ran the 'Run' command in WC, it did everything. Except put it into a .vol. I did that with Tribes Visual VT. I guess there's a program to do this? I know I'm missing one of them...

Oh, the file I'm missing is VMerge.exe. I'll see if I can get it somewhere...

Ok, so this is what's happening:

When I hit the run option, everything's set. So I hit go, and it converts it, pops up tribes, yadda yadda, but my .dis file isn't where it's supposed to be. Nowhere in the message box about it's progress does it say anything about putting it into a .vol. What I did was just manually put it into a .vol. So what file is supposed to do this for me (and apparently convert it to a .dis, .dig, and .dil)?

If it won't work that way, write a little script for it then. In the folder with all the programs, (ie map2zvl.exe, mapconveter.exe, zedshape.exe, and vmerge.exe)

Create a notepad file.
Replace names as desired, keep the order and extensions the same.

Code: [Select]

mapconverter myshape.map myshape2.map
map2zvl myshape2.map myshape.zvl
zedshape myshape.zvl -h
vmerge myvol.vol myshape.div  

Save As... myshape.bat

Then double-click and run it, you should end up with the files you need in that folder.

Do it manually then.
