  Because I wanted to try out how manual associations work, and I added an icon to the format.

Seriously I'm trying to script, and I've learned three things:
1. Files have to be opened with the parameter "%1", or it will only load the app instead of the file.
2. SDL.dll is the core file for Simple DirectMedia Layer
3. Marc is being a jerk for insulting people for doing something wrong.

  YOU IDIOT...wait why did you do that?
I just right-clicked one of the plt files and set "open with" to always use it
gamelover101 13 years ago
  Ahh, I forgot to include "%1" when I manually created the associations. Now it works perfectly :)

Hmm, what to convert next?
Hexicube 13 years ago
  your PC is weird I just set .plt to always use the exe and it works

  Drag and drop work but associations don't. Associations SHOULD work >:/
Hexicube 13 years ago
  NO!!! drag the file on the exe
[edit] also that should work
gamelover101 13 years ago
  I tried asociating the files with it and it didn't work :(

  how is drag-drop not user-friendly?
gamelover101 13 years ago
  I demand it to be user-driendly! xP
Hexicube 13 years ago
  toook a look into drag-drop in C++ and omfg its so easy :P
redownload the exe and drag a file onto it, or if you just open it then it looks for file.plt
Hexicube 13 years ago
  its in the prototype stage :_
I will make it more user-friendly IF and only IF there is demand for it
gamelover101 13 years ago
  You have to do that just to open it? :_

Seriously, you should make it work for all filenames :p

Anyways, G2G
Hexicube 13 years ago

gamelover101 13 years ago
  Imageshack won't let me upload a bmp! It converts it to png.

edit: tryin' tinypic.com
edit2: Aw crap, tinypic uses jpg!
Hexicube 13 years ago
  alright but it should be a bmp
also talked with a developer of Star Ruler :3
gamelover101 13 years ago
  Not really. I made it in Paint pixel by piexel. I could send you it if you want.
Hexicube 13 years ago

gamelover101 13 years ago
  Yeh, that happens :p

Hexicube 13 years ago
  I keep getting the names mixed up sorry :P
gamelover101 13 years ago
  256 colours only? Oh......
gamelover101 13 years ago
  Why ru talking to gis? Anyways, gtg bai...
Hexicube 13 years ago
  GL101 thats far too blend-y :P
I cant make that with 256 colours and if I could it would be bigger than the original file
also its a jpg I need bmp
the dll is nessecary its either you spend 30 seconds doing a 1-off download for every exe in the world needing it or a ton of C++ coders spend years learning how the hell openGL works

  im working on an image format, it works by making a list of all the colours in the image then making pairs of what colour ID and how many times to use it.
this is the program, it's a self-extracting archive that runs a registry file when done(if you dont permit access to the registry it wont work!)
I have the following images converted:
Leaderboard RedYellowGreenBlue CheckPoints

use this to convert BMP, PNG or TGA files to PLT(you download then drag a file onto it)
