Cannot join the game...

Post by Éowyn » Sat Jun 19, 2004 5:21 pm

Hi

I've downloaded the mod today because it has some nice features I would try out.
I installed it and started the game. I see the new titlescreen and all, but as I create a new SP char and want to start a game, the door dosn't open and I geht the error message:

Assertion Failure
Location: D2Common\ITEMS\Items.cpp line #1656
Expression: ptItemStats

I already tried to install it again, but I get the same error message every time...

Can somebody tell my what I'm doing wrong ?

hmmmm. are you sure you have no other mods installed and do not use -direct -txt? furthermore, do or don't you use the plugy survival kit?

Hmm I have other mods installed, but I use batch scripts to copy them in the right folder. So there should not be any other mod file than the element files in the D2 folder when I run this Mod.
It worked well all the time and so I don't think I made a mistake.
I started with -direct -txt but there is no data folder in the dictionary so it shouldn't do anything right?
As for the plugy, the batch script copies the dll and its ini into the D2 Folder when I start this mod. So I think I use the survival kit.

I will try to start it without direct txt and see if anything changes.

Hmm I changed it to start without direct txt and it seems to work now.
But I don't really understand why.
If there is no data folder isn't this parameter supposed to do nothing then ?

nice that you got it to work.
this mod is in .mpq format, so you should not use the -direct -txt switch. there is no data folder because there are no .txt files (the .bin files are all already in the MPQ).

by the way, please avoid doubleposting and edit your messages instead :).

I know that.

But when there is no date folder and only the mpg there should not be an error message.
I also start the normal LoD with direct txt to play on b-net. And there is no error message either. But I am able to replace some inv gfx files.

Until I started your mod, I thought that it dosn't matter if I start the game without a parameter or if I start it with direct txt while there is no data folder in the game.

my mod doesnt include the .txt files in the .mpq file, that means if you try to use -direct -txt, it will use the non-modded .txt files, which will a) disable the mod and might b) lead to some other errors, although i dont know why you shouldnt be able to join a game.

however... have fun playing ;)

Now I understand ;)

However I don't understand why you don't put the txt files into it (: Do you worry that someone could steal your ideas ?

Well I will look into your mod. The features on your page are promesing indeed
