How to create an executable?

[Thunderbird 0]

Hey mates,

I'd like to know what's the script or the tool that allows to make an executable (.exe)[not an installer,though] for a windows program/game please.

Best Regards

If you're looking for a code compiler, then you need to find one that supports whatever language you're programming in, whether it be c, vb, ada, or even perl and php. The only exception is if you were writing raw hex, but sadly nobody other than Kegetys does that anymore.

You don't need some fancy-schmancy wizardry to make an installer though. I prefer NSIS, and you can add in mirror support, and most importantly for FFUR, bittorrent support.

Yeah we expect to make a .torrent version of the incoming Huge FFUR pack which will contain all fixed packs.

Btw I noticed that the FDF mod & the ROC mod have done shortcuts without the use of any target line, they created their own "executable" files, I'd like to do the same for FFUR mods,though, I've already tried with fwatch but without result unfortunately...

In any way, thanks for the explanations

Best Regards

The FDF exe just calls the OFP exe with the proper command line parameters, that's all. Such a program is simply a few lines of code in any language. Use whatever suits you most. I'd just go for a simple batch, though.

Sorry for digging up this oldy topic, 'got the .bat to launch ffur,

Quote[/b] ]@echo off

cd ..

start FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nomap -nosplash -mod=ffur2005

pause

It works very well but please don't you know any freeware tool that converts .bat to .exe, all those I found were 'shareware', they work but they make appear a crap publicity when the .exe is launched.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

quick and dirty Using C:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">#include <stdlib.h>

void main ()

{

system("FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nomap -nosplash -mod=ffur2005");

return 0;

}

My webspace seems to be down right now, so I can't put up the executable, but it works. If you want, pm me the parameters for each pack and I'll e-mail you the executables
