Embedding data files
Author
My project uses a bitmap for textures. How can I make this become part of the .exe instead of a separate file?

Thank you, quite useful.
At the moment I have:
Texs[0]=auxDIBImageLoad("data/font.bmp");
I (very hopefully) tried:
Texs[0]=auxDIBImageLoad(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_FONTTEXTURE));
But as suspected it didn''t work. How do I do this?

Yeh, but that makes the exe longer to ling and a bit slower.
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" nostyle="border-collapse: collapse; color: #000000; font-family: Courier New; font-size: 8pt" id="AutoNumber1" bgcolor="#FF9933" bordercolorlight="#808080" bordercolordark="#C0C0C0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="78" height="1">[ Website
]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="78" height="4">

because it puts the bitmaps/icons/whatever directly into the EXE file (at the end i think, i don''t really know the details though).
so, you get a bigger .EXE, but no extra files to cart around, and it is [very slightly] harder for someone to edit your graphics.

Granted. But it''s no slower than loading the bitmap off of a file on the disk...

Why not make a seperate resource file with all your bmps, wavs etc in, then you can compress it, streamline it, do whatever you want with it etc....
If speed is a problem you can also then load from this in another thread (provided you can predict just before they are needed else there may be no real benefit)
There are tutorials on this site on making you rown resource file managers.
