I would have had the program create the file, or zipped the program and file together for download. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Done; now you can download a self-extracting executable then run setup to install the program and the configuration file in the same directory.
Whenever I start the program, the 'Open' button starts off in My Documents (under win 98se).
I did not test the program on other versions, mine is XP so I have to do some extra testing.
The program works on a new game, but on other saves is giving an 'Error #6, Overflow' and locking up.
I did not get that quite clearly dear Raze. I reserved 2MB for each of two arrays to tolerate the worst case file and I checked all my 37 games and the final saves were quite well below 1.5 MB, so please check the size of your items.000 file and post me a report.
The declared number of files and percentage opening at this error are below,
for saves just before;
entering the Dark Forest - 4080, 86%
hitting the gong - 5871, 60%
the demon lies - 7173, 49%
I had to download and register msstdfmt.dll
Number of files! Do you mean the declared number of items and the found number of items and the corrupted ones?
If so then 7173 items must be rather a joke, I mean who would keep such a number of items!
I was thinking that I was crazy to have reached 4000 items at the end of the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I also tested my editor on files created after the last official patch and I have no idea if it shall work on corrupted files or files produced by saves before the patch.
So I recommend upgrading <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> first and then editing new saves only.
Yet testing on Windows 98SE seems to be a must and I am on it.
Cheers.
