Features:
=========

The BHDBMS2MIS Converter will allow you convert BMS files
from Delta Force Black Hawk Down to MIS files that can be
edited using the either the DFBHDMED.

The program converts all the items with there correct
attributes. All events are properly converted. This
includes all sound files used during the game play.
All waypoints are converted as well.

This is the most complete converter available to date.
All weather effects are there. All groups, area triggers
and waypoints that have something associated with them
are labeled. All waypoint routes and area triggers have
different colors for easy identification. The items are
grouped together like the MED and each group has been
assigned to a layer. They layers have been named as the
grouping in the MED and have different colors for easy
idenification as well.

This version allows for Multi File conversion.
That means you can select all the BMS file that you want
and the program will convert them. When Multi Files are
selected, auto naming is turned on so that all converted
MIS files will have the same name as the BMS file.

You can also put you own favorite skin in the background.
This is selectable from the menu bar. You can also restore
the original background that comes with the program at any time.

Enable Logs (DEBUG) Option will dump conversion data to
a log file that the support group can use to check for
missing information. This file contains data that has been
converted (such as the events) as well as information that
may not have been converted. This information has been
provided to help the support people. It is not recommended
to be used unless you feel you are having problems with a
conversion.

Trouble Shooting:
=================
