CTPEd v0.2beta Release

[J Bytheway]

Anyone else had any success or failure?

Big Mc: What OS are you using?

[The Big Mc]

its the collages dinosaurs using 95 could you make the installer install to any directory. I have a n:\ with all my work on it i could use and it would probably work there

[J Bytheway]

You can install to any directory. But it has to copy temporary files first - if you're getting the error at the beginning then it appears that is where the problem is. If you don't have permission to access the temporary directory (probably c:\windows\temp\) then it might well not work. I'm also using 95 so that shouldn't be a problem... I'll see what I can do.

we cani nstall most over things on the net work like tile edit, read zfs and loads more

I had no problem in my windows 98.
I even tried to use it. But i did not read the readme
Now i know that i must read the readme

[J Bytheway]

Could I have made it any more clear?

[Pedrunn]

I did read the readme and changed the CTPed.ini. Yet i get error 76 (path error).
I will give another try later.
But couldnt be possible to trigger a window after the installation is finished to the modder write/search the ctp2 base directory and from it the ini would change. No need to go over unknown text (ini) files.
Just a suggestion.

I got also this error, when I tried to load a gamefile.txt or tried to create a new project. Another error was connected to this version entry as I tried to open an file like GM1_goods.txt, I got the first line of this file and the program told me that it expected there a 0.1 instead of it.

Could you e-mail me a copy of the ini files so I can see what's going on.

Martin - It sounds like the program is getting confused between the structure file and data file. You shouldn't be able to open any goods.txt since there's no structure file. In any case, how did you try to open it if you can't create a new project or read from a gamefile.txt?

Actual just go on Project -> Open and change in the load box the file type from Project Files (*.cep) to All Files (*.*) and than browse through your saystem and load anything you can, you will get the error message that the first line is different from 0.1 and than CTPEdit quits.

I forgot to attch the CTPEd.ini. I hope it doesn't matter if I installed CTPEdit in an different directory.

You put:
c:\Activion\CTP2\ctp2_data\
Did you mean Activision?

[J Bytheway]

And with regard to the error when opening other files - it's not surprising, since other files do not conform to the project file structure. That's exactly why I put a version check on the first line.

Yes, but also after fixing this I get the runtime error '76' Parth not found message, I also set the language version to german afterwards I attached the file. It still does not work.

OK, but the program should give me instead of this error message a more informative massage like "This file is not a valid CTP2 project file." and don't quit automaticly.
