Hi,

Does anybody knows if there's a FREEWARE resource compiler that can be controlled via the command line. I know that there's the one from VDS, but it's not freeware and cannot be redistributed. The one from Tommy (which is great by the way) doesn't support command line switches..(I think)

Anyone knows?


Thanks

One can be made very easily in VDS. I can whip up one for you if
you want. Let me know how you would like the switches to work
and I'll see what I can come up with.

I made a command line resource compiler. It is available for download
on this site. Let me know if you find any bugs.

Wow! That was quick!!!

THANKS A LOT! I'll try it and give you feedback...

Hi Marty,

Although it's not freeware, you should be able to use the DLL BINFILE,PACK command of my VDSBIN DLL to stack several files together. A DLL BINFILE,EXTRACT command is also available to do the contrary of this, in case you know the appropriate resource offsets and sizes.

Alternatively, you should be able to use COPY /B resource1.bmp + resource2.bmp + resource(n).bmp destination.dsr which does the same thing as the PACK command of my VDSBIN DLL.

I hope this will be of any help.

Best regards,

Tommy

Yo, Marty!

Perhaps this can help you also. On the old VDS board I had posted source
code for a resource compiler using VDSINOUT.DLL
(http://www.vdsworld.com/index.php?page=download&fileid=10) to create
a single resource file for any type of file used in your script.

I dragged it out of the closet and reposted in the VDS 3 source code section.
