I've tried to use the Art Manager (1.4) that comes with TQAE to view and edit DBR files.
However, when I load a mod to explore the DBR files to edit, a new window opens up,.but doesn't display the DBR file. I'm not sure why this is happening and I've tried things that were posted on the TQ forums. Manually loading a DBR from that new window, also doesnt bring up the DBR file.
I also tried Art Manager 1.6 from the TQ community, but the program crashes with some "@archive..." error. I'm on Windows 7, using TQAE 2.9H GOG version.
Anyone know what might be wrong or possibly a good DBR editor for TQAE?
Oh, I also tried something called TQ_RecordManager_1.2, but it's all in German language I think, though some of the instructions are English.
I know this is probably a long shot, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

UPDATE: Resolved
It seems for some reason, all files I extract using ARZ Explorer were in CAPs and Art Manager (1.4) was not detecting these DBR files in CAPs. I used a simple bat file with some CMD prompt instructions to turn all files to lowecase (in main folder and all sub-folders). Now I Art Manager can view/edit DBR files.
Command I used to change all files from CAPS to lowercase:
for /f "Tokens=*" %%f in ('dir /l/b/a-d/s') do (move /y "%%f" "%%f")
- You can manually type this or create a .txt file --> add the above instruction to file --> then rename it from .txt to .bat
- Then just place the file in the first folder and double-click.
- This will open a Command Prompt screen and rename all files to lowercase.
- Starting from that 1st folder and doing same to all files in every sub-folder.
It won't change any folders to lowercase, just files. Not sure what command does that.
