I would like to see a resource editor and support to use compiled resources directly with not just some (like it is now) but all commands / libraries. Also is their a way to free the resource from taking code memory when you load it to data memory?
I would also like to be able to compile to commodore 64 and 128 programs. (I think I may be on my own for this one)

TheBeck,
I'am working on this right now i already have creted the Lcc32 C code to build a resource
DLL. This code is working and building a resource DLL and PureBasic is loading it. more to come...
I'am now working on the Procedures to access the different resources in the resource DLL.
I'am planning on writing a Tool Addin Resource Editor to handle these resouces. I may release a Pre-Released version so everyone can get started then build on it with updates.
I downloaded the full Lcc32 C compiler which comes with a resource compiler.
The C Resource DLL code uses a Project and will compile the DLL with the .RC you add to it.
Enjoy.

because you could make a .PAK file with
the internal Packer library to do the same.
Resources are most useful for including
it into the final .EXE and change the
resources without changing the .EXE.
Fred changed the compiler v3.50 to use
FASM instead NASM and Resources with FASM
are much better to handle... so i think
real internal resources could be implemented
directly in the compiler with PB 3.50+
Wait´n see...
cya,

That is how I would like it.

Yes I agrre but Fred would have to allow for a Resource file to be linked to the final PureBasic Executiable file this would make it alot easier.
But this still will not effect the Resource Editor that I'am writing only one Procedure would need to be changed and thats the LoadResDLL().
This was the way that i was hoping Fred would go...
Maybe in the editor we could specify which .Res file we wanted linked to the applications .exe.
Thank you Danilo
