Getting startup error: component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

running windows vista

 

I prayed for this and the lord Cracker gave it us.

Getting the same error sadly though.

 

Nice tool!

Tried it but i got this error :

Runtime Error "9":
Subscript out of Range

And before it tells me that my save is bigger.^^
I use a 512kb one on my SCSD.

 

Very Cool, will try this when I get home...

 

I fixed the code causing the subscript out of range error. It was due to having a color loaded that was off the chart in terms of it's value. This indicates that the SC saves are more than just mere overdumps and that extra data is added to the beginning -- thus the address is not the same for these saves = it won't work on SC saves and they need to be converted. I could take a look at the save file if you want to send me it.

 

Actually DATA loaded up fine. So it will handle SC saves it looks like. Note that it will still save to a standard DTL save size (256K) so you will probably want to use a copy of your 512K .sav file to insert the new data into so your SC will take it.

 

can we import a bmp for characters? ifso, this would rock

Edit: Sorry, i'm an idiot

i'm going to use this as soon as i get my ds back
you could also try and figure out the way to edit the weapons and submarines and such

 

I'll try to find where they are stored at once I get to the point where I can draw them. I just 'played' far enough to draw the Heroes and that was it.

 

Pretty close. I flood filled each body part with a different color and then looked at the save in a hex editor. I searched for the name of the Hero and it was easy to find the area of the save where the sprites are stored because they are just a bit down from that. It was a repeating string of characters up until where it changed to the next body part so I figured it was stored on a bit level. I looked at the values in bits and then figured out it was using 5 bits per pixel with the indexes of the color palette being set up the same as they are in the chart in the game. Then just had to figure out how many bits were for each part, offsets to use, and placements of all the parts. The binary manipulation is what takes a bit of time between slot switching, loading, saving BTW. VB isn't good at real binary manipulation unfortunately. But sure saves a lot of time in other areas of programming.
