Tool for converting plug-ins to windows, now available

burgerbill

The tool "FlattenBinToRez", which takes a Macintosh EV Nova Plug in (Converted to a .bin file first) and saves off the .REZ file for EV Nova Windows is now available.

Go to (url="http://"http://www.burgerbill.com/burgerlib.html#evnova")Burger Bill's Forbidden Den of Code(/url) to get the source and binaries (Win32) for the tool.

Aye, but this contains the source code, so (I think) others will find it useful or easier to add this ability in their own projects.

I guess it's better late than never... I just think the timing is a little odd, since the major plugin editors have had this functionality for close to a year now.

From what I can make out, at least, EVONE's implementation is correct.

I thought I would post that here after reading the progress log update, but as you already did it yourself... Good news, anyway. Thank you for telling the plug maker community. Also that will allow, not exactly I, but people playing Maelstrom GPL not have to download WinNova to apply the convoluted and only one way I've found for them to use a custom Maelstrom Titles file (for more info, see my (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum17/HTML/000633.html")AT article project(/url) I've already hinted at (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum9/HTML/005311.html")here(/url)).

I've updated the tool so that there's a PC and a MacOS native version of it. The Mac version will directly convert any plug-in, while the PC version requires the plug-in to be in .bin or flattened .rsrc format. Both versions of the tool comes with the CodeWarrior 9.2 project, the source and the Win32 version has a Visual Studio .NET 2003 project too.

(url="http://"http://www.burgerbill.com/burgerlib.html#evnova")EVNovaMacToPCPlugIn is here.(/url) I compressed the mac build with Stuffit and the PC build with Winzip.

FYI, I'm hard at work on the 1.0.8 update for Windows, hence the recent upgrade to the tools.
