I have created an animated SPRITE demo and working on displaying certain characters found in the image.

I am not sure how many images across is allowed for the maximum, but I have an image of 56 x 1 @ 16 x 16. I will add that as a download.

Here's my source file.


It keeps giving me a Failed to 'CFileBuilder::AddPCKToEXE' and quits, leaving an EXE file and a PCK file in the project folder.

I've shut down the IDE and restarted it, even rebuilt the keywords, and it still screws up. Even in Debug Mode, it gives me Runtime Error 300 [Illegal Sprite Command] Line 10.

The `Failed to 'CFileBuilder::AddPCKToEXE' message is one I have seen often. It seems semi random generally. I certainly notice I get it far more regularly when coding on my slower, basic machine with low memory than it does on my main with lots. But it does crop up on both.
As to your code above I have not tried it, but I can't see much use for the line.

a$ = "images\"

It is not used anywhere else in the program. Where you meaning to add it to the start of the create animated sprite command? If so you missed it and the sprite should not load at all.

Not sure what all that nonsense is in between the remstart and remend either. I assume it is for your reference.

This is caused by Windows. You see when DBPro compiles your code, it writes to an EXE file (duh) then executes it. Now if you have an EXE file that already exists, ie you compiled your code once before, you will get this problem because win7 denies DBPro permission to write to the file or delete it (because any modifying/deleting of an executable file by an unknown source is VIRUS behavior). There is also a glitch that involves indexing of folders known to cause this. There are two solutions:

1) Delete your executable after each compile (not recommended)

2) Disable windows security utterly (but make sure you get a 3rd-party security system to make up for this), give your account max priviledges AND disable search indexing for your projects folder (%DBPInstallPath%\Projects\).

If this problem persists or if you need help/clarification regarding my instructions, PM me and I'll have a look into it (Can't promise an instant reply as I'm limited in my net access right now). Good luck, hope it worx and hope this reply isn't too late, only joined today.

I used to get the `Failed to 'CFileBuilder::AddPCKToEXE' message on my Windows 7 machine. The only way I have found to get around it is to disable my Norton Anti Virus before I compile the code.
