ack, i screwed it up with an untested last minute change. Its funny, someone was having a discussion here just recently about the same type of mistake.

heres what I had before -

Code: Select all

if doFolderSave then	-- save small bitmap to file 
	...
end

but at the last minute, in order to speed things up by skipping redundant saves of space characters, i added

Code: Select all

if doFolderSave and not c == " " then	-- save small bitmap to file 
	...
end

which of course should have been

Code: Select all

if doFolderSave and c ~= " " then	-- save small bitmap to file 
	...
end

btw, lua's not-equal-to operator is ~=


anyway im pretty busy lately but i'll upload the change... um... soon. But now that you know what the problem is, you *could* fix it yourself. *cough*line157*cough*.

I don't have the libraries needed to compile this.

I don't have the libraries needed to compile this.

It's interpreted, not compiled. Meaning, just change the .lua file in scripts/ and run the batch file again. No compilation necessary.

Sorry I can't do this right away, Real Life has been rather intrusive to my slacking lately...

Okay, thanks. That was pretty easy.

Thanks, prickly green buddy, I appreciate your interest in this. This will probably be one of the last releases except for stuff like bug fixes, documentation, etc. The main reason I wrote this was to get some experience with the Lua language (I like learning new languages) and I feel like I have a fairly decent handle on it now, so I think it is almost time to move on...

[bagheadspidey]

New version available - 0.2.6. This one has rather extensive documentation (available from the Help menu) and a few other goodies.

* Conversion tools
* Documentation
* Bug fixes

bagheadspidey, we all love your program! Just because we don't say anything, doesn't mean we don't use it! So no emo posts about people not caring about your program, okay!?

[bagheadspidey]

heheh I wasn't trying to be dramatic in that other thread, was just commenting on the fact that there had been severe bugs and nobody had noticed including myself, so I thought maybe nobody was using it...

lol emo ;p

Well, I found a couple of bugs.

THe first one is where I try to save a file as a .lmp, and it says "can't open file \s3fc.h.pcx' (error 5: access is denied.)". Also, whenever I try converting from an image to a .lmp file, I get the attached error.
