Exult Studio and Gimp

Post by Scythifuge »

I just installed the latest snapshot of Exult and Exult Studio, and installed the Gimp plugin.

In preferences, I have it set to gimp-remote -n win like I used to.


Attempting to edit shapes results in 'can't launch "gimp-remote -n win."

It has been a while, so I probably overlooked something. I am using Windows 10, and had used Windows 7 the last time.

Nevermind, I fixed it. I forgot how to set it up with the path amd had copied it from an older Exult Studio I had backed, but it was wrong there, and it is gimp-win-remote -n.

Thanks for posting what you did to fix it and not "nm fixed it" and nothing else. I'm sure we've all run across that before elsewhere!

What Donfrow said!

I think we've all been there at some point, where you run into a certain problem, google it, find a forum thread where there's someone with the same problem, says he fixed it, but doesn't say how and leaves us poor souls hanging. :P

What does the plugin do, actually? I never figured it out

The gimp plugin allows reading of shp files directly, preserving frames etc.

I feel exhausted a lot so I couldn't remember the steps, but it came back eventually, hehe..
