**UTILITY** ids_name/ids_info extractor/editor

Wed Mar 26, 2003 8:54 am by Dixi

Hmm..I'm sure I had it creating new infocards. Maybe I broke it.

Ok, small update/fix.

Sometimes it would lock the dll preventing you from updating/creating infocards. Should be fixed.
Added a confirmation dialog when saving.

Update: It can now save/create ids_name strings as well.
Also fixed a few potential bugs (to make room for new bugs).

OK - maybe I'm just to stupid to use your prog - but I have the following problem:

I'll enter the FL-ID in the ids_name field
[lets say: 237034

press the "Get ids_name" button and recieve the information
[in this case "Patriot" - fine

now I enter a non existant number
[237999

and a description
[stupid ship

when I now press "Save ids_name" i'll get the following error message:

[Project1
"Error: BeingUpdateResource failed"

OK - now choose your answer:
[ too stupid
[ found a bug

(The gamepath is entered correctly and I have chosen NameResources.dll - but I guess thats only for the converter...)

Hmm..are you by any chance using Win9x?

Wed Apr 02, 2003 2:02 pm by EraDKtor

Yes I am - Win98(non SE)

Wed Apr 02, 2003 2:10 pm by Dixi

Ok, I haven't tested it on anything but Win2k, and I recall reading about some missing resource related functions in the win9x api.

I'll see what I can do.

Wed Apr 02, 2003 2:37 pm by EraDKtor

Then count me as your Win98 (beta)tester

Wed Apr 02, 2003 6:37 pm by Dixi

Great =)

This is a shot in the dark:

..but hey, it's a shot.

I think we're getting closer...

"Error: UpdateResource failed"

no more 'Being'

Is the link on the top the complete program for XP?

With all the fixes to it, and oh yea... I'm soo new to this I'll screw up somewhere, so expect me to come back!

I shall rise higher than thou... and never fall faster than before...

The link in the first post is always for the latest release.

A new update with (I hope) a fix for win9x systems + a new search function has been uploaded.

Sun Apr 06, 2003 11:41 am by EraDKtor

The search function is GREAT! Exactly what I needed.

Keep up the good work!

Nothing will save to the dll's. I am on winXP.

Any chance for a fix soon? This is a wonderful tool.
