ChAiNz.2da Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I have a problem when I use my Module Editor to open the .git file, this is what I get when opening it: http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/9346/kotortoolerror4tf.gif Did you install the latest mapinfo.bfd file? It should be on the same page as the maps (top of the page)... Without it, KT won't recognize any of the newer maps loaded. The map851nih is one of Fred's latest I believe..(yesterday IIRC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have a problem when I use my Module Editor to open the .git file, this is what I get when opening it: http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/...oolerror4tf.gif Something else you (and anyone else who has a Kotor Tool problem) should do (at the bare minimum) is to always post the version of Kotor Tool you're using. Remember, the more relevant info you post, the easier it is to solve your problem. No developer likes to play the "How little information can I solve this problem with?" game. So, a better way to ask for help would be: "I get an error while trying to load the KotOR II module 851nih. I am using version 1.0.2171.12345 of Kotor Tool and version 1.2005.1010.1 of MapInfo.bfd and have copied the large map (map851nih.map) to the Maps folder inside of the Kotor Tool folder. I used the Extract for Module Editing function to put module's contents into a folder under My Documents\Module Projects\851nih. When I launch the Module editor, choose Open and select that folder, I get this error. (screenshot or EXACT text of error message here)." This is the level of detail that can get your problem solved ASAP. If the abover versions were actual, I could easily say that version 1.2005.1010.1 of MapInfo.bfd didn't support the map for 851nih. The idea is to second guess all of the things that might need to be known to solve your problem and post them in one fell swoop. That way, the chances are that you'll get a "next visit from Fred" anwser instead of waiting through several requests and replies of extra info.

Kristy Kistic Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Fred... I know this is a bit trivial, but could you possibly change the 'Model Export path' text box on the Path Manager form to a drop down combo box in a future update? I like to keep my models stored in more than one directory (especially to keep the k1 and k2 models separate) and it would save the hassle of having to "Browse for Folder" each time. Whether you do or not, thanks anyway I love the tool. I use the snot out of it. Excellent work and it just keeps getting better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Ok, I'll remember it in the future. Ok, look at this: "I get an error while trying to load the KotOR II module 851nih. I am using version 1.0.2193.42740 of Kotor Tool and version 1.2005.1006.1 of MapInfo.bfd and have copied the large map (map851nih.map) to the Maps folder inside of the Kotor Tool folder. When I tried to use the Extract for Module Editing function to put module's contents into a folder under Kotor, I get this error: http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/...oolerror4tf.gif When I extract the .git, .ifo and .are file seperately, I get the same error when I launch the Module editor, choose open and select the folder area in g:\Kotor Modding\area.

rgdelta Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Are you using the manual download of mapinfo.bfd or the auto setup i always get that error with the auto setup and have to do the manual download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Are you using the manual download of mapinfo.bfd or the auto setup i always get that error with the auto setup and have to do the manual download. Yes, with Manual Setup it works. Thanks rgdelta! It seems the MapInfo.bfd file is smaller if you do auto setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Fred- you have saved me months of work on my mod - I don't know how to thank you, so will this do: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgdelta Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yeah looks like for some reason the installer for the mapinfo.bfd installs a different or corrupt version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yeah looks like for some reason the installer for the mapinfo.bfd installs a different or corrupt version. As it turns out, the installer script was building the setup program using an old version of MapInfo.bfd. For quite some time, the file was built by an external program and the script built the setup using its output. Now, however, the file is built in the same location as Kotor Tool; I just forgot to adjust the path in the script. This has been corrected and a new setup program has been posted to the Kotor Tool site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I've made some tenative changes to Kotor Tool so that it can handle alternate maps and calibrations, which should allow users to work with modules that contain an additional "cutscene stage/set" without having to have both the main and stage areas on the map screen at the same time. I should be able to do some more testing tonight and I'll post the results then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone L68362 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Ah well. I've tried uninstalling it and downloading again, nothing helped. Would reinstalling KOTOR do anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Ah well. I've tried uninstalling it and downloading again, nothing helped. Would reinstalling KOTOR do anything? Download and run the .NET framework version checker here: http://www.tmgdevelopment.co.uk/versioncheck.htm Then copy the results to the clipboard and paste them into a post. Also, a screenshot of the error message would be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brwarner Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Making it, would, however, make my life more inconvenient. It would take some sizable motivation to take the time to extend it to fully handle K2 dialogs. In other news, the maps for the 10 original modules for Kotor I are now available for download from the new Kotor Tool site. Since maps for K1 take sooo long to assemble (3+ hours each, usually) I don't plan on doing any more of them unless someone really wants to "commision" one for themselves. Why do they take so long?? Is it just cutting off the roofs or is it aligning them. If it is the aligning part mustn't there be a way to do it automaticly like the game does in like 2 seconds??

SilverSentinal2 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hi I just wanted to say thanks for the neat hardware its really cool. Unfortunately I am hopelessly slow when it comes to learning how to use programs like this. My question is this everytime I want to view an image it tells me that the viewer I configured isn't in the location that I specified. I think I know why its doing this, I installed a new video card and the Kotor games wont run until I've updated my drivers. Of course being the idiot I am I can't figure out how to do that either. But if you could tell me how to reconfigure the hardware so I can see images I would appreciate it. Silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you could tell me how to reconfigure the hardware so I can see images I would appreciate it. Silver Changing you video card shouldn't affect something simple like viewing images. My only guesses are that either your path to the viewer is wrong or it doesn't take an image specification on the command line. That is, if you opened a command prompt, CD'd to the image viewer directory, then typed viewerAppNameHere completePathToTGAFile you should see the .TGA file. For example: CD c:\progrs\irfanview irfan c:\my pics\lbl_map201tel.tga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSentinal2 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I didn't understand your post. I'm so sorry but this stuff is very, very new to me and its a little like math. I failed math. If its not too much trouble could you list the steps I'd have to do to fix it? Step 1,2,3 ect. Belive me I am so embaressed for bothering you but yes I am this stupid!

Fred Tetra Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Unfortunately, I cannot offer much more advice than re-check the path to the image view program or just use the built-in one in Kotor Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjt0202 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 You're not stupid, Silver. I know we techies tend to take these things for granted, but statements like "open a command prompt and CD to the image viewer directory" aren't meaningful to everyone I'm sure Silver isn't the only one out there who isn't familiar with DOS commands nowadays. I don't have the tool in front of me, but under one of the menus, there's something about setting paths. I've gotten that error message myself when I know darn well I haven't even touched the image viewer path (right after I re-installed, maybe?), and opening that path editor, leaving the image viewer path blank, and closing it made it use the internal image viewer without any more complaints.

rgdelta Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Fred I have a problem I am running Kotor Tool version 1.0.2201.41632 with mapinfo.bfd version I downloaded from your site just today and when I try to open 101Per in the module editor I get the error message "you have the map for this module, but the MapInfo file appears to be corrupt or out-of date." I have the 101Per Large Map in my map folders if I look at maps supported it shows 101PER as small - Unsupported Large - Available. If I delete the map from my map folder I get under maps supported 101PER as small - Unsupported Large - File Missing. I tried both the autoinstall mapinfo.bfd and the manual install still nothing . Also this is a fresh extract from the RIM file using extracting for module editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
