Major FE problems...

Ok, well I've followed the rules and have read around the past two or three days before trying any of this stuff....and when I decide to try this...I get an error. >.<

I backed up my files that were recommended to back up.

I open FE, go to the apprentice robe files, save them to my desktop, edit them in photoshop, save them, then imported them to FE. Then clicked Save mods and run Fable.

I get an error message from vista saying


Fable - The Lost Chapters has stopped working

Problem event name : APPCRASH
Application Name: Fable.exe

I pulled up task manager and apparently FE tried to open fable up about 5 times.

And now when I try to run the disk it doesn't go past the loading screen when I try to load a saved game.

I know nothing about Vista, but read this, it may help you.

Its my laptop, I'm an administrator, hell, I have the only account on it. >.<

I even checked out my permissions and I have full access to them.

I really do appreciate your attempt but it didn't help me...

Anyone else got something?

This is the problem with Vista:

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ADMINISTRATOR, DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE RUNNING AS AN ADMINISTRATOR.

So, meaning, you have to right click the FableExplorer application and click Run As Administrator.

That should set you straight.

Yeah, Vista is a bitch. I'm always here to set people straight with modding in Vista, though.

Re: Major FE problems...

Oh? Okay, lets try it, I'll edit my post later to see if it worked. Thanks again for your help.


EDIT:

I ran it as an administrator...I got an error after I loaded it, saying...

"Can not find splash.exe blah blah blah"

Well I clicked ok, then fable ran, but made it a lil bit after I clicked "Save 1" and it loaded about half way...then I got a runtime error and fable closed.

Do you think it has something to do with the modded files? I have the originals, I backed them up.

The splash.exe error is normal. It doesn't affect anything.

As for the runtime error, that will be a fault with the mod. Link to mod please?

The mod was just a simple "re-texture" of the Apprentice suit.

I saved the files to my desktop, opened them in photoshop, did the "re-texturing" then saved them, then opened them up in FE like the directions on the guide say, set the alpha back to what they were and then I clicked
"save the mods and run fable"

EDIT: Oh, also...when I just try to run fable itself, no FE, it still does the runtime error thing...do the mods work without FE loading fable too? I'm new to this stuff.

Re: Major FE problems...

Have you made sure Alpha is at 0? When you import it I think it sets to 1.

Yeah, so I don't know whats wrong. >.<

Is it just vista?

Re: Major FE problems...

Did you make a backup? Restore it. Try again.
Make sure you don't resize the texture. Alpha = 0 and dxt = 1

 

[XxAkutabi_MikamixX]

Re: Major FE problems...

a back up of the whole Texture.big file? or of the specific clothes file?

I'll try the texture.big file...



EDIT: So I restored the Texture.big file and I still get the runtime error...

EDIT #2: So I did some research, the runtime error may occur when the video requirements aren't met for the game.

Thats really odd because it didn't start this till AFTER I tried running it with FE...I am going to try setting the video settings REALLY low...see if that works.

Nope, didn't work.

You must have done something else for a Runtime error.

Reinstall your game.

No, no it is not.

Re: Major FE problems...

Alrighty, I'll reinstall my game.

No, no it is not.

I should rephrase that.
Near everybody that's new to the forum.

Re: Major FE problems...

BEFORE DOING SO, BACK UP EVERY FILE YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF FABLE EXPLORER!!!!!!!

To avoid this again.

Re: Major FE problems...

I did that before hand, and when I put the original file back where it was supposed to go it still gave me the runtime error.


Son of a....Alright, it has to be the way I'm editing these images or SOMETHING.

I mean....I'm opening them in photoshop CS4, just recolouring them, saving them, then loading them in FE...

Is there...a certain way you have to edit them? I mean...I'm saving them as bitmaps too...I even changed the names to match what they were supposed to be this last time...and it still gave me the runtime error.

Re: Major FE problems...

Ummmm I just found out I get a runtime error too......
And that wasn't for re-texturing. I was adding augments to 2 of my weapons.

Re: Major FE problems...

See? Is there any way around this?

Is it the new FE?
