I have a very quick question. Do you know how I can make the program edit the text of another program? I need to know for the editor (I know...). Have a nice day.

Yes, I did it in my program (text file) but I have forgotten.... let me look it up.... STEP 1: FIRST LOAD FILE TO PROGRAM..... Try adding a Text box to your form. (and change C:\test.txt to whatever file, textfiles work, not sure about any other type? ) Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:\test.txt" Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME) TextBox1.Text = objReader.ReadToEnd objReader.Close() Source: http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/NET/nets8p2.html STEP 2: is save..... but first maybe you would like to try step 1 first, let me know how it works.... |

Oh, thank you. I will see if this works. EDIT: I have one more question... Keeping in my head the answer to the first question, is it possible to get Visual Basic to only allow one type of file to be opened? Have a nice day.

Ok, but please note the STEP 1 above does not include that Open Dialog box in my Character 1 RPG, I take it you might want, do you not? (Otherwise your question would not have made sense....) I have a feeling the answer is yes, it would probably be a "Filter" command, however to quote the code I may have to look it up. |

Um, just in case your answer is not what I am talking about (and my question does not make sense (although the filter will help quite a bit)), I am thinking of making this program like any other game editor (can only be opened with the related ROM). Thanks, I will try out the filter. Have a nice day.

Even though there is a filter command to ( Save as type: FILENAME??.EXTENSION, Example: *.gba ) You could probably check to see if certain text in the file exists (that you don't edit) and if it doesn't cancel the Open... Post has been edited. |

openFD.InitialDirectory = "C:\" openFD.Title = "Open a Text File" openFD.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt" openFD.ShowDialog() where openFD is the name of the Open Dialog Box you put in a form. Source: http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/net/nets4p7.html That is a good example of how filter is used, if you want more extensions.... Example: openFD.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt|Gameboy Advance Rom|*.gba" must not be a | at the beginning or end, however the titles and extensions must be separated by |. |

Hello, I am having a problem right now. A little while ago, I started making the interface of the editor and I saved it as Mario and Luigi Editor. However, when I open it in Visual Basic, I am unable to edit it. The file that does come up is "ToolStripButton1.image". If you know how I can get the program back, I would appreciate it, thank you. I tried saving the extension as .vb, but it is actually .resx. Have a nice day. Edit: Never mind, thank you. I have thought about it, and I just made a new one. |

Okay, also it would have helped if you would had uploaded the folders you are having problems with, but since it does not matter anymore, there would be no point. How are things going so far? |

Oh, things are doing well, thank you. The editor does not actually do anything yet, but I have the interface ready. This means that I just have to make the program open/save the ROM, read the text, as well as some secret snippets that will help for text editing. Have a nice day.

I'm pretty much at a brick in the wall for helping until I can finally actually figure out how to get all the data displayed in the program, as you can see in the cbox, I was investigating further into how it can be done, but it has not been solved yet, I don't think. |

True enough. Anyway, I am going to continue searching tomorrow. If I still can not find anything, then I will release the pre-beta version of the editor (text viewer, if there is text). Have a nice day.

Cool. You know, since I am trying to help so much is there any possibility that we both could be known as "Author" of it? Just a thought. Edit You'd be Primary, I'd be Secondary. Which is slightly different than "Credits" |

Well, if I did not know any better, I would say that you read my mind. Anyway, I decided to put you as a member/assistant/maker of the editor back when you joined the HEX testing team (and then decided again when you started testing it). Not to mention all of your help. This is why you will be in the "credits"/about section of the editor. Have a nice day.

I read your mind? Nice! ...... Oh yeah, I also think that all author's should have the source code before they can even be true Author's (I think, but I'm not sure.) Edit- I suppse that would be the slight difference, hmm. |

True. I will supply the source code to all of the other authors when after each version of the editor has been released. Have a nice day.

Cool. Now... BinaryReader StreamReader StringReader TextReader I am hoping to find a way that uses one of these to see the data of the ROM. Whether it succeeds or not, will depend on what I do and what I find on the internet. |

Thank you very much. I have a feeling that your best bet might be "StringReader", since the Hecadecimal values are all strings, this might be easier. Of course, with the HEX editor that I have been using, binary should be possible as well. Have a nice day. |

Ah, okay. Is there any way to display certain Hex offsets in the box, and not all of them (to avoid getting the Hexadecimal values for enemy stats, etc.)? Anyway, I was wondering... Could you please tell me how I make it so everything in my program only appears in the one tab? Thank you in advance. Have a nice day.

Tabs- First click on the Tab you are working on, then just drag whatever you want to be shown un that specific tab, and do that with the other tabs, it's all very simple, so you should get the hang of it easily. Offsets- I have no idea, I have yet to figure that out, makes me think math will be involved. |
