the convertdata.exe is not a GUI equipped program, you need to use it, in command-line

if i recall corectly you can assign Command-Line programs to your windows GUI
or even more simple drop the File on the EXE file will extract or Pack what you wanna do on the Standard settings

Go to Start->Run->type "cmd"

Then use DOS commands to navigate to the directory where convertdata.exe is placed.

Correct syntax is "convertdata.exe myfileintextmode.entity myfileinbinarymode.entity"

Needless to say, it is best that you place the files you want to convert in the same directory as the converter, saves you time typing.

You can also convert .mesh files, brushes and particle files in addition to entity files.

If your mod isn't working, that's a problem with your scripts, not their format. In any case, its hard for anyone to help you unless you do get a bit more "technical"... ;)
