This does what I just said it does. For more info see:

EDIT: I don't think the above link works any more. Oh well. One of these days, I'll get my act together and finish the guide I started a few months ago.

... A quote from txt file (which you obviously didn't bother to read):

"To use this program, copy it to wherever your packages are and run this with the desired package specified from a command shell."

I downloaded disasims2 to "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads" where most of my ".package" files are. I ran the command prompt, (in many different ways), "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\disasims2 cigen.package cigen.txt". It doesn't seem to open anything except an error message that says, " 'C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\disasims2 cigen.package cigen.txt' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file". I also ran disasims2.exe cigen.package cigen.txt with the same results. This program does not seem to do anything but irritate. :blah:
Whats up with that?

P.S. I read the txt file.

before you correct me, I ran "disasim2" not "disasims2".

Finally got it to work, but so far, only with "objects.package". It's painstakingly processing 17256 BHAVs. Guess I'll keep trying.

Don't expect a lot of AI (this is what BHAVs define) in normal "Download" type objects. There are many objects and hacks that do not change the AI whatsoever.

This program was mainly made with "objects.package" in mind (where 99% of the AI is stored).

can't find it

jeez, beta testers.

help meee

Can this program alter sims actions like make elders play cops and robbers?

Very useful! Tells alot more info on each line than simPE.

One thing though, if it is a custom content with category FFFFFFFF, disasim2 goes on forever making HUGE files(cancelled it at 125MB). Just have to set the category to 00000000 first.

This is an excellent tool.

I'm actually running it on Linux (don't ask), and the only change I would make is to make sure that whatever stream reports the count of BHAVs processed is unbuffered (in C, it would be "setbuf(stream, 0)", but Im not a C++ guy).

Thanks very much for a wonderful tool!

hey, what does it do?!

Version 2.0.

The only documentation is source code of disaSim2. Sorry.

Wow. I'd forgotten how damn complicated this stuff is. Good job, Shy.

Thank you! Thank You!!!!!

This is just what the doctor ordered. I was just about to put togeather a post asking for help on some of the primitive parameters. I think your software has answered most of my questions, and done so in way to be so helpful to us that work with the bhav files a lot.

[Edit] I have been using this a LOT in the last week. Really wonderful work. You may know I do mostly bhav mods, so this has been a godsend. My eternal thanks.

This is an excellent companion to SimPE. Wish I had come across this when I started out *lol* How the hell did this gem slip under my radar? Hard core, man. This would have saved me DAYS of reverse engineering. The joy of 20/20 hindsight!

This thing needs to be up in a sticky post.

Sorry, Can't get into the link in #2 Post. How does it work?

The Wiki is grossly outdated (and incorrect in several places). The information provided by disasim2 appears to be much more current.

it doesnt work for me....it says press anykey to continue so i do and nothing happens...

You have to run it with a command afterward. like

disasim2.exe MyObject.package MyObject.txt

tells it to open MyObject.package, and create MyPackage.txt.

A shortcut that I use, is to create a windows shortcut to the disasim2.exe, and in the target path after the ""s I add the name of my package, and the name of the txt, resulting in a doubleclick decoding(instead of opening the command prompt and typing it all out by hand)
