PR 1.3.1 (final)

[Sting]

I don't get it I am a little bad at that this is why it is better to perform a video tutorial of how to export and import from dat files but my problem also is the pr exe does not launch and I couldn't change anything in the xml file

Hi Sting.

The PR executable file does not launch a user interface (GUI).
It only prints output on the DOS prompt (console, command-line).

One thing that might help you is this PR.bat file.
Put this PR.bat in the same directory as the PR executable, and then run this BAT file.

If that doesn't help you, try watching this video.

Another solution is to use SDLPoP.
SDLPoP simply has all images in its data/ directory.
Also, unlike the DOS game, palettes do not limit the number of colors SDLPoP can display.

Thank you so much sir it is working well I am using your document in popot and it is improving and thanks for the bat file because this is what I needed exactly

The pr have a big problem in memory when it exports a file and import it back the new file even if nothing has been changed doesn't have the same size I edited a pv.dat and kept the new pics with the same size as old ones but after importing the new file is double-sized and while playing the dosbox stops and shows insufficient memory as I mentionned here(viewtopic.php?p=28960#p28960

Hi new users, I know it is impossible to send xml files using phpBB, so I zipped the files
Sting (and other users who need it), simply export my shared vdungeon and vpalace files using this version of xml, this versions already include extra resources (Vdungeon = balcony, lattice, mirror, tapestry; Vpalace = skeleton). You have also the fixed shadow resources in all xml files, just search the fixed file in Other Tools and Hex Editing and export it, you will not have more problems
I also re-uploaded the necessary files, rename the xml files to resources.xml (one at the time)
How to rename the files
1.- wda vpalace.dat = vpalace.dat
2.- wda extra vpalace.dat = vpalace.dat
3.- extra vpalace.dat = vpalace.dat
4.- extra vdungeon = vdungeon.dat
*Choose only one from 1,2 or 3 and 4 if you want
*Don't forget to re-import your custom files using the same xml version

Thank you. I have already exists about resources.xml, but not fixed yet
Now, I will use it

[Emiliano]

I have made the part 1/2 of a PR Long Tutorial which will be useful for users like Sting or Youran Tumayel
(This time adding extra resources and WDA vpalace)
Second part over the next 48 hours

[Emiliano]

Finally the second part of the P Long Tutorial
(This time exporting all resources and file editing)

Anybody who can help?
I extract character SNES graphics (FAT.DAT, KID.DAT, PRINCE.DAT and VIZIER.DAT), but the problem appear: "error, monochrome palette format wrong"

Anybody who can help?
I extract character SNES graphics (FAT.DAT, KID.DAT, PRINCE.DAT and VIZIER.DAT), but the problem appear: "error, monochrome palette format wrong"

It seems there is a bug in the PRINCE.DAT of SNES graphics; or at least something which PR doesn't expect.

Namely, the potion bubble images are in 4 bpp (16 colors) format instead of 1 bpp (2 colors).
PR will extract these images incorrectly in addition to giving an error message.

To extract these images properly, change this line of resources.xml:

Code: Select all

   <folder name="bubble animation" path="bubble animation" type="image" colors="2">

to this:

Code: Select all

   <folder name="bubble animation" path="bubble animation" type="image">

(Make sure you keep a copy of the original resources.xml; or make a copy and change the copy instead.)


By the way, the previews of PRINCE.DAT files on PoPOT show the bubbles incorrectly for the two files by Brain, and the one file by DKM.
That's because of this same bug.


I don't even know why does resources.xml have to specify the number of colors in images, because it's stored in the image itself.
If I try to extract a 2-color image without specifying colors="2" in resources.xml, it gets extracted almost correctly (as 1 bpp) except the palette will be all black.
If PR used a black-and-white palette in that case then we wouldn't need colors="2" at all.
