Hello all!

Post by Soulstain »

Hi everyone,
Brand new to EM but really enjoying it so far. It's taking a bit to get my X55 hotas setup the way I want but it will come.

My only problem right now is the text screen. I have posted in another thread regarding this. I have the SilicuMAX CP/HUD/UI (EM v2.X) hud but I can't seem to edit the textchat.dat file.
I'm using free file viewer but can't edit.
Sorry I'm not a techie, so I need someone to walk me through it.

present textchat.dat is:
128
203
255
-100
40

Thanks for any help. It's all that's holding me back right now.

Hi and welcome.

You should be able to edit it with any text editor.

I use Notepad.

:cool: As SeeJay pointed out, Notepad works just fine. Most of the game's data files are in text format.

Hi Soulstain - welcome to the game and to the forum

.txt, .dat and .sw files are all readable in NotePad as well. Some are interesting but some are encoded so look like gibberish!
