Manual installation of the Geos to both the Engine and The Cabview got them to show up.

Okay good.

I did not modify any GEO files for this add-on.

Okay, good...same as Buzz, did manual install and all's good.

@Sagefuncom: I am in the process of rebuilding my vbs script library. I've added a function for extracting a file from an .ap file, so that you won't have to teach your users to do it manually anymore. It uses the 7za.exe program that you can include with your scripts. It is a lightweight, standalone, command-line version of 7zip. This is the same technique Mike uses for RW-Tools.

Here's the function:

Code: Select all

Function ExtractAP (path, exFile)
   'Extract exFile from any .ap file in path
   'exfile = relative path to desired file inside the archive, including file name
   'path = path to desired .ap file, including file name
   Dim oFSO, oFile, command, WshShell, intResult, objFSO, objFile, readOnly
   readOnly = 1
   ExtractAP = False
   Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   If Not oFSO.FolderExists(path) Then
      WriteLog "    ExtractAP: Folder doesn't exist: " & path
      Exit Function      
   End If
   For Each oFile In oFSO.GetFolder(path).Files
        If LCase(oFSO.GetExtensionName(oFile.Name)) <> "ap" Then
         Exit For
      End If
      command = "7za.exe x -o" & AddQuotes(path) & " " & AddQuotes (path & "\" & oFile.Name) & " " & AddQuotes (exFile)
      Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
      WriteLog "    ExtractAP: Trying " & command
      intResult = WshShell.Run (command, 0, TRUE)
      If intResult Then
         WriteLog "    ExtractAP: Error returned: " & intResult
      Else
         WriteLog "    ExtractAP: Seems to have completed successfully "
      End If
      If CheckFile (path & "\" & exFile, False, False) Then
         'Make the file writeable
         Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
         Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(path & "\" & exFile)
         If objFile.Attributes AND readOnly Then
            objFile.Attributes = objFile.Attributes XOR readOnly
         End If
          ExtractAP = True
      End If
   Next
   Set WshShell = Nothing
End Function


Here's how to use the function:

Code: Select all

   
    'Check if file exists
   If Not CheckFile (pathfile, True, False) Then
      'Try to find the file in .ap archives
      If Not ExtractAP (path, file) Then
         'No such scenario
         WriteLog "    ERROR - can't find Scenario.bin, already checked in .ap files."
        Exit Function
     End If
   End If

And I could barely make a JavaScript text adventure. At least I can somewhat understand the code. Sounds like that'd be a real useful tool!

Thanks very much Chacal! You're a life-saver!

This'll be something to implement in the 1.1 update...

I'm planning on publishing an easy-to-use installer "soon".

Many thanks for these excellent reskins, i copied the Geo files manually and they worked fine in game.

Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Mike.
