Title: BrutePix - RAW Image Viewer
Post by: Alhexx on 2004-07-11 15:14:25
As you can read the Title, there's a new tool out.
I've decided to write a RAW Image Viewer, since I always need one when hacking image formats. I always have used the "N64 Disassebmler Ver1.1 by JOVIS", however, it was not powerful enough.

So here is my own creation:
http://www.alhexx.com

You can download it from my Tools-Section.
The reason why I posted it in this forum is because it is still in BETA stadium, means there surely are a lot of bugs in it. To avoid people creating several bug topics, I created this one for feedback on BrutePix.
Get it and try around a bit.
Please post any suggestions / critics here, too.

It crashed here, probably because I had wrong mfc70.dll ... so I downloaded ones from Qhimm's homepage http://www.qhimm.com/mfc.zip and it works now. Looks nice.

Hm - right, you mentioned it.
I'll maybe host my mfc dlls, too, to make sure everyone is able to use them.

Alhexx do you have the distributable DLL's (IE the professional version)? if so I suggest using the install file OR change how you compile it.  I know in BCB you can select a compilor option that moves the DLL's into the executable thus you can distribute the executable without packaging.  Otherwise I suggest using the included script to create an installation package and use that for distribution or you will always have a problem like this.  It also has the advantage of them being able to remove the old one completely.

I recommended alhexx the same thing, i think its best to make working executable that works alone without any other libraries needed.

At the cost of making even a "Hello world" program 700 KB in size?

Noo, that does not happend to me. I have made quite complex programs and they did fit into 500kb range (when compiled in release mode ofcourse). And if they are compressed they get alot smaller, approx to 1/2.

I'd say its better to make 500kb proggy then to make it 65kb + 1200kb libraries. (i know that libs have to be downloaded only once, but anyhoo :P )

Yes, I have thought of that setup way. I personally don't like changing the program's size that dramatically by switching its compile mode. I think I will serve 2 downloads: The one with a setup and a RARed one.
