SaintFox,
By the way, all I did to make the conversion, was to follow SteveJax's method.
Load the file into a text editor.
Set the Search string to be "hip", no colons (:), no numbers, just "hip" (without the quote marks).
Set the Replace string to be "waist".
Make sure the cursor is at the beginning of the file. Do "Replace All" (or whatever it's called in your editor).
Now, set the search string to be "waist2".
Set the replace string to be "hip".
Make sure the cursor is at the beginning of the file. Do "Replace All".
Save the file.
I use EditPad Lite as my text editor, it can do batch editing, and so convert a number of files at once.
I am thinking about appending "(1.2)" to the file name of any files I convert, eg "MonsterMeggaMeallons-INJ(1.2).pz2", so I can tell at a glance that the file has been converted. Just a thought, have not actually tried it yet.
I'm wondering where this conversion script you mention is. Also, have you seen a packet of chocolate biscuits? I seem to be having trouble finding stuff lately.
The above method is OK in an emergency, if you are stuck out in the back woods, with only a Bowie knife, a piece of flint, and seven inches of string, and it's not as complicated as it looks from all the numbered points (took longer to write the above, than to actually do it), but a script would be nice.
