Problem with Blu

Post by CaptainPoopface »

Blu seems like a great app, but I'm having problems with it.

1) When I edit a string, the string I enter is put into the beginning of the string table but does not actually replace the string I intended to replace.

2) Even though I save after every edit, only my two most recent strings are saved. So if I change 5 strings, I can only find the last 2 in my map.

Although it states in the release that Blu can make strings longer, all the strings I've tried have been shorter, and it still fails.

Yes, I've used hex workshop and XVI, and they work fine for changing text, but Prey's app stands out because it's streamlined, easy to use, searches very quickly, and best of all, has variables named for the weapon icons, which I don't think any other program has (please correct me if I'm wrong there).

If I'm doing something wrong with the program, or if someone has gotten it to successfully replace a string, please let me know. I know it was released incomplete, but I thought it was just the weapon variable mapping that was incomplete, not the basic functionality.
Retired. Thank you neodos, DemonicSandwich, DarkShallFall, Dragonfire, foxfanatic2317, GOWO and everyone in the hall of fame.
If you want to know how I did something, take apart my mods.
