How do i save a wordpad document with an .sqs ext?

[syco 0]

Trying to put a script into a wordpad document, but when I press "save as" only 3 or 4 saveable file extentions are available.. there IS no option to save as a .sqs file.

How do I do this?

In the save as box type "filename.sqs" The " " are important as they force the file to be saved as whatever you say

Also I may be wrong but I believe notepad is better to use than wordpad for such things

Ahh, notepad. There's nothing like it.

Nope....deosn't seem to work... there are three lines:

File Name

Save As

Encoding

The only one I'm able to manually change upon saving the NotePad document is the File Name portion of it. All else cannot be changes.

Yes I meant in the filename section type "blahblah.sqs"

Edit: I just tried it and it works fine, well in the sense of saving it as .sqs. However wordpad adds a load of crap (at least it did for me) so use notepad as we said

open windows explorer

go to Extras -> Folder Options

then click the second requester

there is an option that is probably activated at your comp.

It is named "hide file name extensions for known filetypes"

I dont know if this is the exact syntax cause I am using the german version but something like that should it be. Deativate

this option and the files will be listed like mission.sqm, script.sqs and so on. This should do the trick. Now you can change the extensons to .txt or anything you wish. I also chose open with... Notepad in the right click menu that appears when clicked on a sqs file . This way you dont have to rename the files all the time . They are opened as .sqs and saved to .sqs
