tech problems still haunt me.. pass the poison bomb

coachschwartz · 05-18-2001, 04:50 PM

I uninstalled and reinstalled and .....
still get these stupid error messages 2 minutes into playing causing the game to freeze.
The latest error message from the ruins:
Bmp16_Load Error On portrait/pchead18.bmp

I want to play so badly....... but get tired of saving my game every 2 steps

I even did the full install!!!!!!
Hardware acceleration is off!!

Are the error messages tied to my save games? Even though I reinstalled is my save game toast too?

Hi coach!!

I'm beginning to wonder if your problems aren't in the saved game. Can you take your next nearest save (you are saving in more than one slot aren't you??) and play that for a while and see if you have the same problems.

Hope we will be able to figure out what the problem is!!!!

Yep, played one of the other save games and still getting errorss.

Latest: Unable to open journal file: journal.003

unable to load animated texture efxgfx/particle/astor.ant

*sigh "We're going to die, were all going to die" The last words of my party.
LOL

Coach,

Just to confirm that your saved games aren't corrupted you might try sending me one in zipped format via e-mail. I can then play it on my system to see if it's OK. At least this will definitely eliminate one possible error source...

Never zipped anything before gonna have to help me....

Download a copy of Winzip here. Then install and run the program, select one of your save game files from the C:/Activision/WizardsWarriors/Save folder and zip it. Then create a new e-mail message and add the zipped file (about 200-400K) as an attachment, and send it to me at rick@volberding.com

OK I downloaded the winzip but it wont show any save games in the folder when i try to create a new zip file?

Wyvern · 05-18-2001, 08:10 PM

When you created the gamesave zip - did you click on the gamexx.sav you were trying to include?

First you name the zip file then you should tell winzip which files to add to the zip.

If you have now an empty gamesave.zip - click on ADD and then point the prog to your W&W save files.

Hope that helps.
If not coach - you can always send me (or Xignal) an unzipped copy - will just take much longer to upload/download. Or if you have some place to which you can ftp a copy of your save game - that would work too.

OK, emailed savegm.zip to Rick. Now crossing fingers for diagnosis...
Does Rick know the HEALING REALM spell for savegame files????
