My problems are: How to open a textfile wich is packed into a wrs file and how to save it into this wrs file. Thank you. Ja, bevor ich hier etwas schreibe schaue ich nat�rlich im Handbuch nach

The engine will use this file from now on, not the one in the wrs. However, it�ll be visible to everyone, then. Maybe you can encrypt it. Manual (@file_cpy) Quote: For copying a text file from a .wrs resource, rename the file to "*.pak" and add it to the resource with a BIND statement in a .wdl file, or a PRAGMA_BIND in a .c file (f.i. #define PRAGMA_BIND "mytext.pak";). At runtime, copy the text file from the resource with file_cpy("mytext.txt","mytext.pak");. The resource must either exist in the work folder, or be opened by add_resource. no science involved
