RSC Manipulation

ID:134362 Oct 12 2006, 5:06 pm
CaptFalcon33035	This thread is not about what you think! Maybe we could get a program, though, that adds a resource file you have to the BYOND resource when you drag the file over the shortcut or EXE. It's just a problem I've been having lately with crap hosts.

Crispy	Why? There's no point in just adding a file to the RSC. It has to be referenced by the code somewhere, or it can't be used.

Nadrew	That's not entirely true, you can add an icon to the RSC file manually and edit the 'icon' variable in a savefile to use that icon, works pretty good.

Not just any file, a .rsc file. I want to add a .rsc file to the byond.rsc. This is because BYOND spits out errors about not being able to download the resource files. So, I get the owner to send me the files.

The problem with this is that I have to rename this file byond.rsc and replace the old one. This technique is flawed, however, because I have to change the layout of that game everytime I log in to it. Not only this, but it deletes everything in the old .rsc. This is really bad for those dialup users.

Nadrew	Just open your BYOND rsc and the rsc in question in a hex editor, take the stuff in the game-specific rsc and copy it into your BYOND rsc, problem solved.
