Assertion Fail

[Elad]

Aaaargh!! Spoke too soon. Started game, Froze in Blood Moor
New Error
Halt
Location:D2Client\Engine\Gfx.cpp Line#1243
Expression:[GFX.cpp]Mode(0)is not object (0)
HElp please.


SOLVED!!! Took script from tfw, started fine and got a single Barb
Tried to start, all went well until:
When I made character, press start, screen went black, except colored lines in upper right corner.
Got the following assertion error message
D2Common\DATATBL\Datatbls.cpf line#2227
Expression:pbdata
A couple of questions:
1. What is and where in a game do you Turn Off prespective? Found
2. Do I need to replace the D2ModSetup.bat in D2 folder with the one that came in TDD? Tried that, no help
3. What are the colored lines in the upper right corner of the screen? Graph

I know that I can be a wee bit dense (old age), but it would have been nice if the install instuction were a little more percise. ie: after backup of D2Direct3D.dll in D2 folder, delete and replace with the changed D2Direct3D.dll from TTD folder.

that graph is a performance display chart. the d2mod batch file is the same as any other one... the tfw needs some altering to load the d2mod settings for ttd- right click it and select edit then edit the part that says "-mod tfw" to "-mod ttd" that should fix it

Thanks Nec---seems to work Ok, at lvl 4 now. Will decide what to do after I play around awhile.
A couple of more questions:
Does PlugY work? No xtra store or shared pages.
Start up screen doesn't list the version of Mod. In PlugY it is 4.0 and gives Mod as .92.
Thanks again from one of the oldest to probably one of the youngest

Did you download 0.92? Check the readme, it should state the version at the top.

I use PlugY 4.0 for some reason, open TTD.ini in notepad and locate the following line:

;PLugy=Plugy.dll

and remove the ";"

That should do it. Or you can just replace PlugY with a modern version.

GAQ-Thanks- Have PlugY working.
I downloaded and installed: TTD-V0.94b_PPM from the Keep News.
Upgraded to patch-0.94c
Start sheet has:The Third Day V0.92, D2 Mod System 1.02, PlugY 4.00B
