Title: New Updates!
Post by: Dark Savant0 on June 04, 2004, 07:23:13 PM: Unofficial Spanish Update (http://darksavant0.250free.com/files/Spanish.lan)
Unoficial Update (http://darksavant0.250free.com/files/04-06-04AD78220A.update)

Here are my two things if anyone wanted an update. You must have the previous updates for this one to work. Otherwise, some files you may want might be missing. And the fact that this was created with the current charas.ex, not the older versions. That way there is no confusion about versions. I am sending this to GPI, unless he sees it. This is for the impatients.
If some things are messed up, contact me.

YES! I have done it!
Here are the links. Upon downloading them, put the following thats in bold in front of EACH of them.

You will need WinRar in order to extract it because My host will not allow files larger than 2 megabytes. This also helps those with slow modems. Look for WinRar yourselves. Most of you have it and the rest need it.

Post by: luckygerbils on June 04, 2004, 07:55:10 PM: Something's wrong with mine, I downloaded it about 20 minutes ago and it's still going--really-really slowly. It started saying it was adding to files like Norton Personal Firewall and Internet Explorer, so I just now closed it.

Post by: woundedgoat on June 06, 2004, 04:24:58 AM: Yes, I had a checksum error when I tired it.
Title:
Post by: Chronic on June 08, 2004, 11:12:15 AM: you get the error because the file is named wrong.. rename it to

04-06-04 AD78220A.update

then update as normal :)
Title:
Post by: GaryCXJk on June 08, 2004, 01:35:47 PM: I'd say just do it. GPI is currently too busy with many things, so... anyway, I'll check it with the most recent version.

EDIT1: Okay, I need some people who are willing to put this in their My Shared Folder of their P2P program. People who have Sig2Dat can download Charas.Ex per this URL:

Charas.Ex 04-06-08.exe (signature) (http://sig2dat:///|File:Charas.Ex 04-06-08.exe|Length:2298368 Bytes,2245KB|UUHash:=ym2hghQplWJ64y8+tYVUtcTbcTA=|)

Here is the file (only up for a limited time):

(http://www.multiverseworks.com/Charas.Ex 04-06-08.exe)

Remember: ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME!!!

This one includes Dark Savant0's update.

Post by: Alex on June 08, 2004, 07:49:41 PM: Well done!
I posted also a news, you can see both the upgrade and the spanish lan file downloadable in Charas.EX's page.
Title:
Post by: Chronic on June 08, 2004, 10:04:16 PM: GaryCXJk, the charas.EX.exe in that SFX is an older version 1.03.04.27.

Using the offical updates you should have version 1.03.05.11.
Title:
Post by: robotroy on June 09, 2004, 02:23:33 AM: How much content does this update have? Does it have ALL resources that were submited by 04/06? If not, what was the cut off date?

Let me tell you something.

I did. But if I apply every update after each other, most files get baletid, so I applied every update in a seperate file, then copied every newly created file to the full Charas.EX thing. Perhapse the exe file gets updated too, but I haven't done this yet.
Title:
Post by: Dark Savant0 on June 12, 2004, 03:24:22 PM: Okay, I will try to see why the charas version went backwards. I will have a fix up soon. Also, can someone download the battle chars and zip them up from the site? I would like to begin working on those. I will also have a fix for many of my new resources cause some of the things appear incorrectly in the background or foreground. May be up tomorrow or even today.
Title:
Post by: GaryCXJk on June 14, 2004, 01:26:18 PM: I've another update, to upgrade to the newest version.

If you are going to make addons, make a new directory for Charas.EX, download the unofficial version plus this update. If you don't most files get deleted.
Title:
Post by: Dark Savant0 on June 14, 2004, 05:49:34 PM: To robotroy :
My update has some things from the site, as well as a new category called kids, in which I rip the actuall kids from the rtp.

To Gary :
This update will most likely fix all the previous inconsistencies and some messed up Items I uploaded, as well as the tall people section being almost completed, with the exception of items. Items take a lot of time.

To everyone :
Being that this will be a grand update I am making, I am pushing back the clock a week. I would like to release a complete section so that people dont ask "Where is the hair?" It would be nice to make a finished character. Again, if someone would download and zip all the battle chars and send them or something, that would be nice. darksavant0@lycos.com
Title:
Post by: Chronic on June 16, 2004, 08:39:07 AM: Expect the battle characters in your inbox soon :)

Edit: characters sent.
Title:
Post by: Dark Savant0 on June 16, 2004, 02:44:03 PM: Got some new battle chars, courtesy of Chronic. See guys? Helping helps. :D

In other news, when making an update, do not update every color variation. Its time cnsuming and users can d this in the app itself. But at least do your part.
Title:
Post by: justin3008 on June 16, 2004, 09:02:20 PM: i'm just wondering, if there is anyway I can help with the update or something?
Title:
Post by: Chronic on June 16, 2004, 09:32:39 PM: Hey Dark Savant0,

If you didn't know already, the current source does not compile in the lastest version of PureBASIC. Recently i've been trying to fix the source and make it compile but with not much success as i couldn't find the problem as it looked all valid.

Luckly this weekend a friend of mine who lives in london came up to vist his parents who live next to me. I ask him if he could take a look at it and in about 5 minutes we figured it was because of the constants being declared... I guess the little things are always overlooked :p

Anyway, i changed the the constants to global variables and updated a few functions names and i have gotten it to compile.

If you want to include this in an update let me know and i'll email it to you once i'm sure its fully bug free.

I hope GPI does not mind me doing this.

UPDATE:

I guess next time i should try to use the program before posting. It will compile but there is a small (haha, i wish) issue like not being able to click on the images to select a resource. Oh well.. i'll figure it out.
Title:
Post by: Dark Savant0 on June 17, 2004, 05:13:51 PM: So Purebasic is just another subset of C? Then I could help woth that. GM(Game Maker) uses a subset of C, and I am familiar with Global variables, constants, and whatnot. In fact, I know that the faceset generator on the forums somewhere was made with GM. So yeah, I would be of some help. I will download Purebasic somewhere.

Chronic, it appears battle chars from this website are unimportable. I have tried almost every format I know, including : jpeg, j200, bmp2, and some others. Had to hack Charas.ex, though. But for some reason, these charas are imported too big in the importer. Maybe those which were put in the first place were smaller. On the bright side, those charas work with the Battle Char Generator. So sorry guys, you will have to use the other thing for battle chars, and convert them to bmp. I will have a zip of bmp battle chars up soon.

justin3008 : Could you download all the charas-little stuff in the online version. I would like to make up for battle chars with the little buggers.

to anyone else : could someone download all the tall-monster and monster items and hair. I think I missed those in my haste.

The update will be up on saturday. It will include tall-monsters,normal updates, monster updates, and some other things. Expect an update for my kids section next week.
Title:
Post by: Chronic on June 17, 2004, 10:43:03 PM: You use GM? cool, i'm an admin at the offical forums :)

I'll download all the tall-monster and items and hair now.

EDIT: items and hair sent.
Title:
Post by: Dark Savant0 on June 18, 2004, 06:59:50 PM: Yeah, I used Gm. Ive lost interest although I will buy a reg key if just to thank Mark for the work he put into it.

Anyways, could you do al the items for chara-medium,chara-little,chara-tall, and fighters soldiers? No variants. Please.

Okay guys, here is how I am going. Currently, I have not recieved a new version of Charas.ex so you will have to use the current one. However, I am almost done with tall-monsters, but will do some random checks in the areas of duplicate and recolored resources. I will also see whether I can figure out how to import battle-chars. Maybe I have done something wrong. And for those of you who do not speak English, I will have a translated Help file to Spanish in the next update. This update will be a total update, so that those who cant use the update feature may use these new resources. Expect it up somewhere around midday tomorrow.

DUDE!!! YOU'RE OUR NUMBER ONE PROGRAMMER!!!

Seriously, we need a compiler, in case Charas.EX needs some improvements. Anyway, if you can program, do you want to be one of the programmers?

And I already bought a key. It's worth it. Don't use a keygen though. It won't mess up your PC, but it's worth buying.

Post by: Chronic on June 18, 2004, 10:02:15 PM: To Dark Savant0:
I'll do requested (items for chara-medium,chara-little,chara-tall, and fighters soldiers) when i get time, theres been a big reg key spam at the GM forums today and i'm investigating who done it.

To GaryCXJk:
Alot of the source makes no sense to me, and writing it from scratch will take alot of time because i'm not that fluent with PureBASIC... i'm better with GML (Game Maker). So sorry, i cannot be a programmer for any updates/improvments, but i do have a retail version of PureBASIC and will be happy to compile it if you are using the trial.

EDIT: Items sent.

Well, anyways, could you just send the source then? I'm planning to add some small additions, maybe add a skinning possibility.

Post by: Chronic on June 19, 2004, 06:27:26 PM: Sure, its on its way
Title:
Post by: Dark Savant0 on June 19, 2004, 07:16:25 PM: New version!

I downloaded the key generators once, just to see how far I could go to look for illegal versions. Last month, I found a site that had a GM 5.3 key gen. It works. I always test these things. Unfortunately, the site closed down. So I did not contact Mark as it would lead to a wild goes chase. He should use a code like the ones on the German U-Boats, with three keys.

New Version!

Edit : DAMN! I have tried to upload these things, but it seems the floppies are corrupt. I have been using the libraries computers so that is why I cant upload them today. I should have bought my laptop. Sorry guys. The earliest possible day I can do it is Monday. Very sorry, but I will put more stuff in until then to make up. Sorry again.
Title:
Post by: GaryCXJk on June 19, 2004, 08:25:38 PM: Also, a new version of Charas.EX is on the way. That is, if I'm not lazy to fix some things, like the zoom in thing. That's one reason why I wanted to compile it...
Title: I've a probleme
Post by: cladff on June 27, 2004, 09:46:39 PM: Sorry but I can't download the last version of Charas.ex with Kazaa. There is no sources....
So can you tell me an adress where I could download it please.
It's normaly the Charas.Ex 04-06-08...

Thanks! :jumpin:
Title:
Post by: Alex on June 27, 2004, 09:50:18 PM: Kazaa????
What about looking int the officila page?

Title: Oooooooo
Post by: cladff on June 27, 2004, 09:56:12 PM: Oooooo Sorry !!!!
I have'nt seen!!
Title: Question????
Post by: cladff on June 27, 2004, 09:59:42 PM: Do you know if there will have new "Suits" for the Battle charas set , soon?? :eyes:
Title:
Post by: justin3008 on June 29, 2004, 01:22:44 PM: hello?
Title:
Post by: Dark Savant0 on July 04, 2004, 11:43:33 PM: The recompilers must figure out something for that since the current version has a problem with suits. I am not even sure how that suit and the other batlle stuff got there in the first place. Its a conundrum, unless there is a tool that is used to convert the templates into usable pngs for charas.ex. For now you will have to use the battlechars generator somewhere in the other forum. You can also search for it on google. It works with those on the site.

Post by: justin3008 on July 05, 2004, 01:44:36 AM: thank you

Post by: Chronic on July 05, 2004, 09:32:38 AM: have you read the pinned topic about how to import resources? maybe you didn't import it correct... i'm thinking you didn't set a background color or something.
