How to Merge .dat Files
The following uses the merging of the EZFX effects with the Freedom Force X effects.
- Open up FFEdit, and select the Merge DATs button from the front page.
- A file dialog will ask for the DAT file to write to. Select the newly installed FFX files, for example Data/fx.dat.
- You're then prompted for the DAT file to read from. Select the backed up copy of your old fx.dat.
- You should get a message saying .DAT fiels merged OK.
- Just to check - go to the FX tab. You should see all the EZFX effects there, and look for the effects beginning with the
letters 'ffx_'. There should be three entries: ffx_blank, ffx_gaseousform and ffx_pheremone.
