ToEE Front-End X 4.0 Discussion Thread

I'm sorry but it reverts to the default 800x600 resolution, even if I'd already set my desired resolution @ toee.cfg.

 

I have some interesting behavior to report. My computer took a power hit while I was work. When I came home and reloaded TOEE, I had the instant crash. When I took a look at the .cfg file, I noticed my custom entries (1600x900) were gone and had been replaced with 800x600. I duly changed them back, saved the .cfg file, and tried to play. Again, it crashed. I checked the .cfg file, and lo and behold, it still said 800x600. So I changed it back with the Front End open. Two tries of this, and it's now running smoothly again. So it looks to me like the Front End wants to revert to 800x600 on a fresh load. Is that intended?

 

Agetian!!! It works! Before the patch, disabling the movies did nothing. Now after the patch and disabling the movies, i'm working perfectly! No crashes!! I've closed and relaunched several times, launched other games, closed out of them and relaunched TOEE C08 again and so far so good.

I couldn't be happier right now. You guys are awesome! I'll report back (god forbid) if I have any issues.

 

Yeah, I carelessly suggest that even if I know that it will not work for sure actually I don't have the resources here and I find myself in a hula-hoop, anyway, thanks for the civil feedback. Why don't you implement it as part of the TFE-X iteration loop, since, it can be considered as a safety measure for the temple.dll, it can be an advantage for you in tracking will be future un-official add-on problems. I'm aware that Ajitae did not finish the whole .dll work and a lot has been implemented in v7.9 which makes the culprit almost hard to track.

 

I activated the KotB module and I get a crash at start up with that also, (actually very early in the start up procedure - no Atari or anything shows yet) this would make it appear that the issue is not completely tied to 7.9NC.

I will activate 7.8NC and see what results I get.

 

I am using 4.3 experimental.

 

Actually, not. The idea is to store it somewhere on the Temple of Elemental Evil directory. When you want to integrate another modified .dll just put it in the directory where the release version .dll is stored and copied by the TFE-X.

Unless the .dll is put on co8.tfm directory, then you'll have problems.

 

OK, I have activated 7.8NC and have run a few tests.

Reboot + 7.8NC 4.3 Exp everything starts up and runs fine including intro war movie and Neutral opening and Homlette videos.

I could start and run two times without reboot, but on the third attempt and every attempt after I crash right after initializing sector data.

Reboot, (again) + 7.8NC + 4.3 Exp, starts up and runs fine, after exiting game cannot restart without crash at end of initializing sector data.

10 tests and all worked after reboot, 2 restarts without reboot successful.

Again, this is with 7.8NC and the latest Front End.

Another quick note:

I activated KotB latest Demo with 4.3 Exp and it crashes before any logos or anything. 10 tries and 10 fails on this.

 

Try deleting introcinematic.bik even if it's sounds crazy and see how it works, that's the normal shortcut for CrimsonVirus to solve his problem, he also uses the same OS as yours, not really relevant. :bored:

Atari\Temple of Elemental Evil\data\movies introcinematic.bik

LOL, I forgot about the disable intro function. Sorry! What a mess...

 

Zoltec,

If I disable the intro I can't get past the selection screen, it hangs up where you select new game, load game and such.

 

Try running directly on toee.exe instead of TFE-X see if it helps. With enable intro of course.

Are you running your games through VM?

Gaear . Alright ! Nevermind that Sirchet.
