Is there ANY way of doing this? i suspect not...

Ok, imagine i have a exe with a list file in it and nothing in it, is there anyway of openeing te exe, adding items to the list press a save button and it saves them in the exe as default so when the next time its run, it contains the items... without resoure files or a "list" file etc? i dont know if this is possible, or if you have to open it as hex or binary or what... anyone know?
thanks

I don't really think this is possible (or wise), what is wrong with using an external file?

Wel there cud be alot of external files so ide like 2 embed data into an exe, is there no way then usin mmf2?
thanks

It is possible, but there isn't much point- it doesn't matter how many external files you have and most games have loads.

I know its just how i wud like 2 do it. How would i go about it? Do u know?
Thanks

In MMF1.5 it was possible to add text or anything at the end of an exe. It might be possible to do this in MMF2, since we can add extensions in an exe we might be able to add other bytes... You should study the exe and try to add some data

I think he means changing the list contents after the EXE is built, and saving those changes inside the EXE. I asked something similar in this forum a while back. here's the link:

saving data inside an exe

Ok, that is something like what i want to do, like add data to the end of an exe and then access it from within that exe. Or im not sure if this is simular but, have you seen or heard of "exe binders" there a bit scetchy to get as seems thats what peeps use to make viruses with, but they basically bind all files together into one exe and then extract them when opened into a dirctory, bit like zip but they dont compress, well they can do, but could somthing like that be made in mm2 using the binary or ... any object?

Thanks

tigerworks made an example on the old forum, i cant remember the name but it is still there somewhere, it uses binary object. I made a self-extractor program based on it but much faster because of binary quickload object, and if i ever find the source lying around i will post it here. basically you append a certain string to the end of the exe such at "<theStartTag>" and search for it using binary object, remove all text before it and the tag itself, then you have the appended contents

Sweet, how do i access the old forum? and you dont happen to have your code for your app do u, sounds very much like what i need.
Thanks
