I'll release them tonight. Also I was thinking of reviving your Eureka project but with a major modification.

@the release: Okido!

@Eureka: it was rather dead wasn't it

I'll await your "modification".

Some more goodies

Plugin for Sid Meier's Pirates *.FPK files

Rahly · Post by **Rahly** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 3:07 am

Release

BF plugin for the Prince of Persia games and Beyond Good and Evil (quite possibly, it'll work with other Ubisoft games that use the same Engine.)
FPK plugin for the Sid Meier's Pirates! game
Skeleton delphi source for a plugin, just fill in the blanks, rename, and compile.

This is great. I tested the BF one and it works.

I noticed my code in MexCom for online update of RPM plugins was rather lame, it will try to download a DLL for each game (while in cases such as the BF one only one DLL rules them all). Stupid me. Damn rush work. Anyway, users can just put them in the data/rpm directory and they'll work. Meanwhile,I'll try to get a new version out that handles this better.

I've found a bug in the POP extraction. See screenshot:

What file?

Post by **Mr.Mouse** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 12:00 pm

It says in the screenshot...popdata.bf

Kopie van POPData.bf?

sorry i don't have that file my game, perhaps its not a real bf file?

I do have a POPData.bf though, but its not in bf format, in fact.. my plugin will refuse to open it, although, your mexcom script opens it and gives me the same error you gave me. Perhaps its a script error?

EDIT:

Prince of Persia(*.BF) = My plugin works on Prince.bf but "Can't open" POPData.bf
Prince of Persia - Warrior Within(*.BF) = mex script
Prince of Persia SOT(*.BF) = mex script works on POPData.bf with errors but fails on prince.bf

lol , anyway, why won't it open with the plugin?

That BF files isn't a real BF file, not one the game itself uses

BF files in the POPs and BG&E or anything that uses the same gaming engine, all have headers that begin with the "BIG" signature, POPData.bf begins with an S

I think POPData.bf is used only for the in game menu, which doesn't use the gaming engine.

Hmmm for plugin uses ActiveX ?

Yes here still I have compiled Skeleton plugin source but MultiEx Commander it not distinguishes as a plug-in why that: (... Though like all it is correctly written. Can you will send a source code of an available plug-in?

Post by **Mr.Mouse** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 9:42 pm

No, but you should have the plugin dll in the data/rpm directory.

You must also make sure some options are returned. MultiEx Commander will check for certain options, such as Create, Extract, Import etc.

Yes certainly compiled I have put a plug-in in a folder data/rpm and to not be loaded why that: (

To Rahly:
I call mpGetOptions for this:

Code: Select all

str = mpGetOptions(t, OPTIONTYPE_FILEINFO)

res = ParseRFileInfo(str, RPMPlugins(t).Fileinfo)

I want to know upon start-up what each plugin can do.
