PRAYbuilder trouble?

Sorry if this has been brought up before...I know some of you may have had a problem similar to this one, so I thought you'd know what to do.

So I went to the CDN to download the PRAYbuilder tool for PC...I opened the folder that came up and clicked on the file inside. When I did that, this black scripting box or something like that just pops up and leaves and then nothing happens. No installation, nothing. So I was wondering, is there a safe alternate link where I can get PRAYbuilder? If not, is there a way to fix it? If so, I would love to know where that would be. :3

Thanks in advance for any replies,

PRAYbuilder isn't actually a program; it's something you need to work another program - easyPRAY. A little bit of searching and you should easily find it.

Well, you can use PRAYBuilder on its own, but it needs to be run via the command prompt. Using EasyPRAY is usually the better solution though.

If you want to run it on its own, you need a command prompt. Instructions are on this horrible page directly under the table. Highlight to read!

OH, okay. XD I get it. See, I thought PRAYbuilder was a program itself.

There is still one problem, though. I have easyPRAY, but it says I need to 'provide a path to PRAYbuilder' or something like that. What does that mean? :/

Thanks for answering by the way, everyone :3

It means it needs to know where PRAYBuilder is, so that it can use it.

In EasyPRAY, click on File -> Preferences and there will be a text box at the bottom that says "Path to PRAYBuilder" -- just type in the full path there.

OH MY GOSH it worked!! :D
<3 Thanks so much!

Now it is my first so it shouldn't be terribly wonderful, but...I'll upload it in the agents section of this site so you guys can check it out if you want lol. ^^ Thanks again, this was some invaluable info i got here.

EDIT:

One more thing, unfortunately. I am testing the agent, and upon trying to inject it an error comes up on the agent injector's top screen which reads: 'a required file was not found.'
I thought I compiled the agent correctly.
What's wrong?? This is really frustrating.. -.-'

In easyPRAY, the second item to the left of the compile button adds images, genomes, sounds, ect. to the agent when compiled.

As long as you make sure all the necessary files are in the same folder as the .cos file you're using to create the agent, it will usually grab them automatically.

If you notice the expanding tree on the left side of the screen, the "additional files" folder lists all of the files it thinks you want. Click on one of the icons to see the files of that type; an individual file will have a check next to it if EasyPRAY was able to find the specific file.

If it can't find one of the files, or isn't listing one you want to include (it doesn't automatically list catalogues, for instance) then go to the sixth button on the menu (it has various objects and a green plus symbol in the middle) or choose Edit -> Add mmedia or genetic files to current Agent or Egg. It will ask you if they exist on the same path; just click "yes" and it will let you select any other files you want to add.


Also, every once in a while it may simply "forget" a file; if all else fails, try simply recompiling the agent and see if it works any better the second time.
