Prince of Persia files have a small extra header at the top, if you remove this header, you can play them in Bink/RADPlayer

All your delphi are belong to us.

working on mpGetLastError

you have mail changed the function from function mpGetOptions(FormatIndex: Integer; OptionType: Integer; var Options: PWideChar): LongBool; to function mpGetOptions(FormatIndex: Integer; OptionType: Integer): PChar; so it should be Declare Function mpGetOptions Lib "pluginmanager.dll" (ByV...

I noticed you used LongBool instead of Boolean as the return value. Yes, i had to change all the function to LongBool because Delphi booleans are 1 byte, and VB booleans are 1 Long (4 bytes). I was setting the one byte to false, but vb was reading the 3 other bytes of "garbage" which coul...

depends on what your after, like i said.

1. Hmm, the mpGetOptions still gives a Bad Calling Convention. Doesn't that sound like a gathering of geeks calling eachother names through their cell phones? 2. You changed the string type to unicode in mpGetFormatInfo structure? TFormatInfo? It returns 0 . 0 B 0 F now for FileMask. It didn't befo...

haha, another one of my mistakes

i had originally named the functions mpExtractFileByNameToFile

i renamed them all to mpExportFileByNameToFile, and it was changed in the plugin and the plugin manager, but the plugin manager was looking for the old name in the plugin

what game?

Oh, i didn't know you were still having an extraction problem. i'll look right now Declare Function mpGetOptions Lib "pluginmanager.dll" (ByVal FormatIndex As Long, ByVal OptionType As String, ByRef Options As String) As Boolean Edit: would an IM service be a little better communicating?

The main question is "what are you hoping to accomplish?", just to do it? good luck. there are many things you can do with an exe, are you just trying to change a windows exe's resource? use a resource editor is it a game, have you looked to see if the game has a scripting engine? that wou...

yup, email sent I had left some debug code for printing out to a console (Command Prompt) which you don't have, so it gets fubared. Edit: Sorry about that, I also modified the call a little so you can call it. and i rewrote a single function, that allowed me to take out a standard unit of delphi, cu...

Send me the compiled program?

yeah a while ago function mpExportFileByNameToFile(FormatIndex: Integer; ArchiveHandle: Integer; ArchiveFile: PChar; ExternalFile: PChar): LongBool; stdcall; i guess that would be Declare Function mpExportFileByNameToFile Lib "pluginmanager.dll" (ByVal FormatIndex As Long, ByVal ArchiveHan...

Nvm, i forgot i could test it as well. Didn't work out so well.
