any suggests?

[Norbert]

C:\Users\xxx>c:\cp335\rs\pr\pr.exe -x c:\cp335\rs\princ

any suggests?

(Your command ends with "princ", but you used "prince", it seems.)
The result -13 (PR_RESULT_ERR_XML_FILE) seems to mean the program cannot open a file.
(Either "if (bin.size<=0)" or "if (!writeOpen(file,&unknownFile.fd,optionflag))" is the case.)

- Is the resources.xml file in the same directory you run PR.EXE from?
- Do you have writing privileges in "C:\Users\xxx"?

[cp335]

[Norbert]

the map ''rs'' is apoplexy map.

Do you just want to use apoplexy or do you want to edit images or other resources?

[cp335]

Both
I wanted to edit with apoplexy (wokrs)
and edit the files. I donwlaoded from popot and i used the one in the apoplexy map. But both no succes

- Is the resources.xml file in the same directory you run PR.EXE from?
- Do you have writing privileges in "C:\Users\xxx"?

Yes im full admin on the computer all privelages.

It doesn't work because you have no resources.xml file in "C:\Users\xxx".
The file resources.xml needs to be in the same directory where you run PR.EXE from.

[cp335]

Yes it is:

its in the pr folder. where i run pr from the rescoures.xml is in

So, you are 100% sure you have the file resources.xml in "C:\Users\xxx"?

Let me also write it in Dutch; you may understand it better:
-----
Het bestand resources.xml moet staan in de directory vanaf waar jij het commando uitvoert.
In jouw voorbeeld dus in "C:\Users\xxx".
Met andere woorden, in "C:\Users\xxx" moet het bestand resources.xml staan.
Dus dit bestand moet bestaan: C:\Users\xxx\resources.xml

Thanks

It works now. But waht i have to type to edit the files?

Like: c:\cp335\rs\pr\pr.exe -x c:\cp335\test

[Norbert]

Well, that depends on what kind of files you would like to edit.

If you want to edit the images, you need a graphics editor.
Freely available is, for example, GIMP (Windows executable).

Important is that you cannot just add new colors to the images.
If you open images in GIMP, you can see what colors are available^(*) in the (indexed) image's palette by selecting from the top menu:
Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Colormap
(In Dutch: Vensters -> Koppelbare dialoogvensters -> Kleurenkaart)
If you only use these colors, things will probably turn out okay.

^(*) It's a little more complicated than that, because PRINCE.EXE uses .pal 'files' that you can alter yourself.
However, the images also have palettes inside them and there's no reason to dive in too deep before you've even tried to alter one or more images.

Thanks.

But now a new prob:

When i type: c:\cp335\rs\pr\pr.exe -x c:\cp335\rs\pr\resc
Im fucked again:

---
C:\Users\xxx>c:\cp335\rs\pr\pr.exe -x c:\cp335\rs\pr\resc

C:\Users\xxx>
---

It just doesnt anything now.


Any help for this?

[Norbert]

c:\cp335\rs\pr\pr.exe -x c:\cp335\rs\pr\resc
Im fucked again: [...]

Are there any .DAT files in c:\cp335\rs\pr\resc?
Why did you change it from c:\cp335\rs\pr\prince to c:\cp335\rs\pr\resc.

[cp335]
