Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm having some issues with saving. I've juszt opened a new scenario, was done with it, and then tried to save my progress. The games, however, is not letting me do it. Everytime I try to, its saying that I'm running into error 11. I'm running a windows vista. Anyone know what the deal is?

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Unfortunately Jeff's error codes rarely have any comprehensible meaning. My best guess is that you might be trying to save a file to somewhere where you or the game doesn't have write access. Have you successfully saved files to the location you were trying to use before?

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Yeah. I havn't had trouble saving before. I'm just trying to click save on the file menu. None of my scenario's can be saved, neither the new one I keep trying to make, or The black anvil. The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Has anything changed between when things were working or now (like changing versions of the editor)? Can you save scenarios to other locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 No, I have made no changes too the editor at all. And after vigorous testing, I can still not save any scenario to any folder. The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 This may sound like a stupid question, but can you save other files, in other applications, to the same location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yes, apparently I can. The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Have you tried saving somewhere else, then moving it back to the funky folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 If the problem is with the Scenario Editor alone, try using different versions of it. There is the official 2D Editor, the original Isaac Windows port and the 2009 version. If you still strike problems the Vista version of Windows Explorer may be creating write-protected scenarios, which can't be saved. Official version can be found at: ftp://ftp.spiderwebsoftware.com/win/BoAEditor.zip Isaac remake: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles...lease_id=335107 Latest 2009 version: http://www.freewebs.com/ishadnha/BoA3DEditor.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thank you for the links, Ishad, but it didn't work. I admit I over looked something before. It says that I should make more memory available for the BoA Editor. This is a stupid, stupid question, but how do I do that?

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm pretty sure that's an out-dated message – I don't think it applies to newer computers. Is there an error number reported? If so, we can probably pinpoint exactly where in the source the error occurs (at least if it's anything like the BoE editor).

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Error Number 11, but Niemand had previously pointed out that it is not helpful. The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 It turns out that I may have been wrong on that count: I had forgotten that the arbitrary error codes form the mac and Windows versions are completely unrelated to each other. i had looked through the Mac code, and it appear to not ever use that code; however, the Windows code does explicitly use code 11. The reason is, in fact exactly as I described above: Error 11 is issued when the editor cannot open a temporary file for writing. The file it tries to create will be in the same directory, and will end with a 't' instead of an 's', as long as the current scenario file name did end with an 's', as it should. So this should only fail if: -You are out of disk space (Not at all likely) -The program does not have sufficient permission to write the file (quite likely, especially in light of problems others have reported with Vista) This was why I suggested trying to save to other places. Given that that experiment was a bust and the new certainty of the meaning of error 11, I'm forced to conclude that this still isn't a problem internal to the editor, and thus not one I know how to do anything about.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Did you recently download the editor, or move it on your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Here's two problems/solutions that I had with Vista. 1. DO NO install BoA in the Program Files directory. Vista does not give anyone permission to alter those files, not even the administrator. It makes file management much bigger of a chore than it needs to be, so make a Game folder and install it in that. 2. Run BoA Editor as an administrator. Before I did this, when I tried to edit and save a scenario, Vista did not let me save and then erased the scenario folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 As a temporary workaround, copy your scenario from your Scenarios file to somewhere else (like "C:\temp"). Make your changes, save them, then copy the scenario back into the Scenarios folder. It sucks, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't know how to make a games folder, but nonetheless, thank you all for your help. 'Course, I'm not sure why you would want to help me. All you're really doing is assuring your own defeat.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Try the aptly named "New Folder" command. Or maybe it's "Create Folder"... either way aptly named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Okay, something really screwy just happened. Now, I made a new folder, copied the Blades of Avernum folder into it, and now suddenly my copy had become unregistered.
