    Haha, Qt for sure has it's little issues, and one of them is the proper deployment of the application.

    This tool ships the qwindows.dll in the exact same folder the actual application resides. Seems legit, but Qt does not expect qwindows.dll to be in the same folder as the executable, but rather in a sub-folder called platforms.

    All you need to do to get the tool running is to have a folder structure like this:
    CuteTextEditor (root)
    |---- CuteTextEditor.exe
    |---- SomeDLL.dll
    |---- platforms
    |___|---- qwindows.dll

    That's it, enjoy!

    It's working, yay!

    It's a shame it only lets you edit the intro, and that it hasn't been updated in forever; I guess I got my hopes up a little too high for having a better alternative to the glitchy AdvanceText program...

    It amazes me how this isn't mentioned in the main post yet.
    If it weren't for this post, the program would kept crashing like this for me:

    Lunos its easy to solve this problem !

    1. Make a new folder with the name platforms.
    2. Now put the qwindows.dll data in the platforms folder.
    3. Start the programm.
    Click to expand...

    Why are you telling me this when I already know..?
    Like, I know how to read and even explained in the previous page my amazement when I saw that it was not mentioned in the main post even though it should.

    • I'm surprised the solution to make the tool work is still not mentioned in the main post, smh.
    Anyways, I can't open a Fire Red ROM using Pokémon Text Editor.
    When I try it, an error pops up saying: "ROM is already in use!" even though it's not.

    Is there a way to solve it besides touching the source code?
    EDIT: Someone in the community's Discord tried it on Windows 7 and it apparently opens Pokémon Fire Red just fine.
    So yeah, I'd say the issue could be happening on Windows 8 and maybe 10 only.

    Bumping a month old thread, sorry.

    This does not work for me:

    I see an earlier post about this where the creator claims they fixed this, however after downloading the version they linked it still does not work.

    EDIT: This was solved by a post above. Make a new folder called "platforms" and put qwindows.dll in there.

    EDIT 2:[b/] Only the Oak Intro is supported for FireRed, don't bother.

    I'm running a 64-bit version of windows (I know the only version uploaded is a 32-bit version, but some time 64 are able to handle both) and I got the following Message:

    ___________________________________

    This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt plattform plugin "windows" in "".

    Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    _______________

    Anyway, I know I'm pretty new around here and haven't been modding since Advanced Text was the one to go tool for script hacking. I've seen many users mentioning a Qt, and since my error message does too, I'd really like to know what it is since I'm obviously missing it on my PC.

    You would need to download QT and compile it yourself, As i needed to do this to run the application.

    Bit of a problem... there's an error saying "This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt program plugin "windows" in "". Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

    Any solutions?
