Hi,

I noticed that while trying to replace .png files in a program in resource hacker, that i cannot save the exe... i have tried deleting the resource, and then adding it as a new one, but even that doesnt work...

however, it seems to work perfectly well when replacing icons, cursors, and strings... could it be my computer? (i don't think so but sometimes you just can't tell... :/)

is there a special way of saving pngs i should use?

or a newer version of resource hacker?

thanks in advance!

ResHacker can't handle png's that way...

here is a workaround if you don't have ResTuner (not freeware though but can preview .png's)

> expand in the tree view of ResHacker the png you wish to change

> once there, go to the menu and:

> Action/Save Resource as a binary file/save as "something".png

> edit the file as you want

> in ResHacker again and in the same file you saved, go to the menu and:

> Action/Replace other Resource/Open file with new resource

> Resource Type: PNG

> Resource Name: the one that is indicated on the parent rsc folder

> Resource Language: *your language code* English is 1033 for instance

> Replace

I assume you know the rest...

I right click on the resource, replace with a new png file, then

> Resource Type: PNG

> Resource Name: the one that is indicated on the parent rsc folder

> Resource Language: *your language code* English is 1033 for instance

> Replace

Works for me

The error message your getting is because the app is invalid, i get that when i quit resource hacker straight away after clicking save, you have to give it some time to save it, or else you will have a corrupted exe.

    • No Man's Sky Beacon update overhauls settlements and player overseer duties by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Hello Games is back with another major update to its sci-fi space survival game No Man's Sky. This time, it has targeted settlement systems. The title will now let players be overseers who manage settlements across multiple planets while also discovering towns run entirely by robotic lifeforms. Space-faring players can now be the overseers of four settlements across the universe, with the job being offered to them after completing a unique objective. "Govern your settlers wisely and invest in their infrastructure to enable each settlement to flourish, producing lucrative resources, and becoming an invaluable base of operations throughout your journey," explains the studio. Settlement management has also been completely reworked with this update. Hello Games says that players will now have more important construction and upgrade choices, as each building has its own calculated contribution to the happiness, population, and productivity of its settlement. These can benefit the player via a wide range of resource production options. Not only that, each settler will even have their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, and skills that will change how they work in their community. Players can find these by simply talking to any settler they meet on a planet. When a citizen dispute comes up, the number of choices offered to the overseer has been increased as well. As for the robotic settlements, they can only be found by scanning planets with specialist technology. Once found, these Autophage settlements can be taken over as well, letting players be the overseer and take care of the scrap metal-built locals. Other additions to this update include Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) upscaling tech support on PC, more voice types for player characters, better snapping when building structures, and cross-save support across all platforms. Don't forget that No Man's Sky will soon be arriving on a brand-new platform too. The title will be a day-one launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. Find the complete patch notes for No Man's Sky 5.7 Beacon Update over here.
