runtime errors
hello, James,
I checked, and i had Version 2.04 but not the latest Version i could find, 2.04b. So i did download and install 2.04b, and tried it again. It again crashed once i tried to save the event. This time the runtime error showed up as '53' rather than '76'; maybe i'm making progress.
I did create Data and Event folders, but i did have to do so myself, they did not extract from any of the downloads i have done. Since i had to create them, they both are unpopulated with any items, and i have not been able to find any "2.ico" file anywhere.
is there a Version 2.04g in existence? if so, where can i find it since i have only been able to find 2.04b as the latest.
do you have any suggestions as to where any 2.ico or any similar files may be lurking?
What i am specifically trying to model are the myriad Saddam Fedayeen ambushes and suicide attacks by handfuls of determined but tactically inept true-believers as elements of the 3d ID crossed the Euphrates into the Red Zone. there were also the various locals scooting along the highways in cars and vans who apparently were unaware that these tanks and AVFS were on a mission and loaded for bear, and got themselves killed by approaching too closely.
i like the menu of event types and the trigger choices, but i am frustrated by not being able to get the program to take my events. by the way, i have chosen "None" for the Special Effect File (i don't want to fool around with loading any extraneous audio, picture or video effects IF i could figure out how to create them anyway), and i have tried all of the Combat Effect settings to see if changing them helps.
the only thing which SEEMS to work is to create the Event but leave the Event Type blank, and NOT select a description for it, instead putting the description into the Event Message.
do you have any guidance for me?
