Fxegui - Fxe Editor For Windows

[ratx]

Attached is a palette I have extracted from an icon for you. Good luck.

So, when I use Aquafishs icon tool, and extract the BMP, it should turn into a .PAL file?

And now, what do I do with this file? Do I use it in IrfanView? I can't open it or import it...

 

[HungryWolf]

I'm doing what I think you said, but when I do it, I still get the same results.

hi yes, as the Readme explains this is all fxegui does, applies the gp32 palette to your file, you can try and fix it somehow or create a new image using the gp32 palette you now have. Icons only look correct on the gp32 if they are 8bit 32x32 and using this palette. Cheers

 

[HungryWolf]

I just reallt don't get this.

Could someone possibly just do it for me?

hi

Just finished a new version ( 0.4 ) nothing major;

- drag and drop - drag a fxe into the text box... for the uber lazy
- Icon images are now "munged" ( made 32x32 and to use the gp32 palette ) before the fxe is updated, the resulting bmp is written to a temp file and the gui updated. Now you can see how ugly the icon will be before writing it to your SMC....

Just stumbled across this thread again, and read a bit.

I always add selfmade 32x32 24bit bmps which always work fine. And I`m still using v0.3... never had any problems...

Hey, just downloaded and tried this, installed Net 2.0 framework, and ran the gui. The app starts, but as soon as I try to open an .fxe, it generates a couple files (a .bat and a .txt file) and freezes up, has to be shut down with ctrl alt del. running on windows 98 se

Sorry I have never tested on anything below 2k so yes its quite likely it bombs out on 98. *shrug*. I am currently idly working on a version of mr spivs unfxe that extracts the icon as a fully usable bmp to be intergrated within this. But only very idly cheers

Hey ratx

as you might have noticed, I overclock files (emus) with a hexeditor. When I edit them, they are in GXB format, but i can't use your tool to compress them to fxe. Is there some way you could make your tool work with GXB files as well?

 

[ratx]

yeah sure I'll look into that. Good suggestion.

Hi

Well I finally finished my sloth like work on my version of mr spivs unfxe, it now supports extracting fxe icons directly to bmp. What this means for fxegui is well... I've rewritten it pretty much from scratch to support this

- drag drop fxe/gxb/bin for b2fxec'ng...
- drag drop jpg/png/gif/bmp to be munged as icons...
- removed aquafishes icon extractor - not needed
- removed velvets fxe-header - not needed
- gui a lot less ugly now

[Horscht]

allright! thank you! Won't have time to test it for a few days now, but I'll check it out as soon as I can.

Is there any chance to get this program running under windows 98?
I get the error "mscore.dll not found", is it possible to fix this problem or do I have to use Windows Xp?? Please reply...

 

[ratx]

Sorry I don't have a box running windows 98 or I'd try it out.... maybe someone else does... does the beta .NET runtime install under 98? I have no idea re that either

Anyway I have uploaded version 0.6 which is mainly just bug fixes and UI changes... if you have a problem creating new fxes with 0.5 upgrade to this one...
