For DPB, you can (in the right hand side bar) rename the exec and point it so that it saves the final build in your project directory.

But can't you make an exec with all of the needed images in the file, so when it's unpacked, all that are also unpacked? because I can't find a way to include them!

Link, either (in DBP) under the settings tab click exe with attached media or save the media in the same folder that you export the .exe to.

As for the king of the mongoloids, if you are using DB I don't know. otherwise, do above.

so there is no way you can put all the media in 1 file or something? so noone can get to it? (div makes an exe with a pck file with all your media!)

@Someone namedlink: if you have Pro you can put all the media into one file, from the IDE select "settings" on the righthand side bottom, from the settings list select "EXE with attached media" and check the radio buttons for what you want (compressed and or encrypted media) is that what you meant?

hey link, i think i know what u mean. try this - make a folder called "media" in the same directory as your exe. then put all your media in this and, if you want to, into more subfolders. then change the source code in DBPro to reference the files as follows:



or if you are using subfolders:



this will work with any thing that you need to load in your program.

that's not what I meant. I would like to have a file where all the media is in, that no one can open in some program and that only the exe can read. so it is impossible to "steal the graphics".

its not possible to encrypt it in a different folder, butif your happy with all the graphics in he same folder as your exe then you canclick on the setings tab and then on exe with attached media. you can then select an option to encrypt this media.
