Total Commander

Recommended Posts

Hi.

When I make missions for ArmA/OFP, I use Total Commander to see my files, and edit files... Just click a file and hit F4 to edit it, no matter what filetype it is... Windows won't ask for a program to launch it with. (You can choose what program to edit files with under the Configuration menu. Default is Notepad.exe)

It's a really, really nice tool! A MUST have for programmers, map editors, etc. etc.

I always use total commander. I can't work anymore with crappy windows explorer. It's the first thing I install after a format C.

I even installed it at work and my boss was amazed how fast I could organise my files. (the multi rename tool is a bless)

He bought the program and now everybody at work is using it.

There was a pbo plugin for Total commander somewhere, you could look inside pbo files, pack & unpack, etc I think it was Mikero who made it for OFP, dunno it works for Arma. Probably not.

Yeah... Me too... It's so great... (I also use the multi-rename tool a lot)...

And the excellent handle of archives (.zip, .rar, .tar, .gz, .7z, .pk3, .pk4, etc. etc.)

Working with arhives as if they were folders... (Also the FTP-server tool. Total Commander (6.51 (don't know about older versions)) is real fast to upload... My upload is 50kb/s. but Total Commander uploads 192mb in approx. 5 seconds. (The mystery is simple... Many files, like bitmaps, often have very identical content. Therefore, if the file contains for example 500 #, Total Commander will just tell the FTP-server to create 500 of # instead of uploading each symbol. That's my theory.)

I got the PBO plugin for Total Commander, but it doesn't work properly... The files it extracts are messed up... Only usefull for exploring PBOs.

Total Commander < You can get Total Commander here... It's shareware, but the only difference between that and the registered version, is that you must press either 1, 2 or 3 when launching the application.
