Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hello; I got an error message when I entered Dilecia, to the effect that a graphic in sheet 501 was unavailable, something about icon 8. The upshot seems to be that some character and terrain graphics are missing--Wallace and the swamp folk are invisible, and roads are empty space. Tried downloading directly from Lazarus's site and replacing, but the same thing happened. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 A couple of standard questions: Whta platform (Mac OS or Windows) are you using? How did you open the scenario archive once it was downloaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 If you accidentally downloaded the scenario for the wrong platform it would run but the custom graphics would not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Mac OS X and Stuffit. I definitely downloaded the Mac version. Fighting invisible rock golems added an interesting challenge to the game, but now I'm in the laser puzzle and there are evidently a bunch of objects I can't see. I can't even tell what my goal is, so I will have to suspend play until I figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 If you get the Windows version you can probably find the relevant sheet and use Graphic Adjuster or a resource editing program to put it into the cmg file. In the Windows version, you would need to find a file called G501.bmp and paste its contents into the cmg file as PICT ID 501. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I think it's an issue with Stuffit. Download an older version of it and reinstall the scenario and it should work (Or so I've heard is the solution for other graphics related problems.)

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ok--it seems to be affecting custom graphics in everything I've downloaded in the last couple of days. Why now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It could be that you've been downloading older scenarios (Which were packaged in older versions of Stuffit) and so they're messing up when you uncompress them. Or it could be that your version of Stuffit was updated somehow. Or it could be that I'm a PC user and don't know what the hell I'm talking about.....

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Lucidus Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Although I don't understand your specific problem, Stuffit seems to have been causing headaches for a lot of people recently. Try a program called The Unarchiver instead. It's free, it handles all types of files, and it has worked great for me. (Sorry I don't have the link, but it should be easy to find - I know it's available from Apple's website, for one.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/theunarchiver.html Good advice. Thanks, Lucidus; problem solved (although I had to start again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
