please try this:
start charas.ex.exe
Choose the Teddy-body
Then in the menu "file>save char" and save.

Now try to recolor the body (on the right side of the window).
and then exit the programm.

On my Win98SE:
No problems. all work fine.

On WinXP (i don't have this, but it is tested with a Athlon and a Intel P4, so i think the OS is the problem):
Doesn't change the color and after exit the Program, it will crash.

I don't have XP and i don't see a logical error in my code. So i think, that maybe the packer in PB doesn't work right.

Please help.

p.s.: the save and load-Char routines are in the misc.pbi

Try with GlobalAlloc_() or AllocateMemory() instead of mem$ = Space(block) for your buffer and see if that helps... Something like this will do:

Code: Select all

adr.l = AllocateMemory(#SomeFreeMemID, block)
If adr
  ; Do your save_char_sub() thing here
  ...
  ; Now free the mem again
  FreeMemory(#SomeFreeMemID)
EndIf

But if you don't tell me, what exact you have done, i don't can fix it. Maybe i used strings as buffer in the code, i will take a look.

>if load a characted without a "Stes" loaded i have (and had) crashes too

What do you mean? When you load a File as Char, without being a char (for example a exe)? Thats a problem in the PureBasic. Because PureBasic packer-library have no check and will crash, when it is no packing-file.

Btw: I searched person to help import resources...
