Howdy and  ??? help
Can anyone (Hagar  ;) ) tell me just how hard it is to use Takura Murakomi's BGL disassembler? I want to edit a bgl of mine.I know you can add graghic effects to a bgl so that the bgl is stand alone and needs no texture file to go with it. Is that the tool I need, and if it is,why won't the exe run? I see the screen for a momnet then poof !! It's gone!! Hmm.........any ideas anyone
Or better yet,someone save me from myself  ::) for trying yet another building project and tell me just go fly instead. LOL  :)

Hi Dave. I'm no expert at manually editing files & forget most of what I knew about it. I think the utility you mention is a simple DOS application with no Windows interface. Double-clicking the EXE in the usual way will not do anything & you would obviously need a basic knowledge of DOS to use it. I'm not sure what you wish to do but I find that creating a new BGL with FSSC or Airport is generally a much easier & more satisfactory method.

Thanks for the reply Hagar. The bgl disasembler did a number on all my bgls,made them looks like note pad.I had to back up my registry a few days just to get things back to normal LOL. That program is history! What I did discover that  api macros can be edited if you know hex code,which I don't. What I am trying to do is take the USS Hancock carrier and remove the angled deck from it.But I don't know how.I want a more era correct straight deck look. I need to use the Hancock because it has a hard deck,has the WWII look and can move it easlily by changing co-ords.We're going to use it in the North Afrika Campaign starting in January.So......I either need a quick lesson in scasm codes or I need a Hancock api macro without the angled deck and one I don't have to use clear.apis for the deck.   Any ideas sir ???            ;D
