Newbie with an Error Message!

Post by Mr12000 »

I'm not sure if the problem has since been fixed, but in the original beta release of ModKeen2.0, if you wanted to use the -bmpdir extention, you needed to create the directory beforehand. In other words, if you want to use a folder "lalala" for your bitmaps, you need to actually create that folder before you tell ModKeen to put the files there.

the problem hasnt been fixed XkyRauh, and i have indeed already made the directory. This is kind of irritating and i feel pretty stupid. I seem to be doing everything correct!

Alright, first things first (and I'm surprised this hasn't been asked yet): Which episode are you trying to mod? :-)

Hmm... that looks like it's crashed -- something's not normal there. Can you zip up the directory with Keen in it and email it to me (andy at durdin dot net), and I'll have a look and try to work out where ModKeen is failing.
