How to use the "console object"? (or the pipe ~)

[Gunnar]

Hi!

I am making a game, and within it I'd like to have one of my older games (which isn't a mmf2 game) as a mini-game for the player to find.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to use the "console object", which i've heard is good for this.

Also, is there any way to hide the file that is loaded (it is supposed to be a secret )

Thanks in advance!

A. you don't need the console object for this. If you can, make the old game a vitalize app and then you can open it as a sub-application into your game. Otherwise, just use the built in option "Execute an External Program".

B. Use the Power System Object to make it Hidden and/or system. Or you could give it a fake name like 'data.dat'.

Best would be to copy the frames from it into your other game. Can't get more hidden than that!

That'll teach me to read the forums when I'm that tired.

You could also have the file encrypted and then decrypt it to the temp directory when you want to run it.

Thanks a lot!

"If you can, make the old game a vitalize app and then you can open it as a sub-application into your game."

How can I do this? And can I do it even if it's an exe-file that calls to image-files?

"You could also have the file encrypted and then decrypt it to the temp directory when you want to run it."

Same question as above.

Very grateful for answers!

Just insert the Sub-Application object and shoose for it to run your application .ccn or .exe file.

As for the temp directory thing we will need a slight tidbit of more information in order to fully help you correctly.
