Paging Mr. Pethos Please - Dan Caviness - 12-20-2019 Hello Jason/et al: I hope your in fine spirits this Holiday Season Mr. Pethos! The grinch is calling...lol... I've been playing around in the Rising Sun editors and I have a promising 3v3 in the works. A big one, go figure. I have a "glitch" of sorts however, and I hope you know the answer. When I open up the Scenario Editor, or open a test game, I get an error message. I click on it, and it goes away, and the scenario appears to be working just fine, but it's troublesome and I don't want it to effect the game/scenario downstream. I can always add a comment to the description, letting everyone know you should just click on the window to make it go away. But that's not "fixing" it as you well know. I know you have a day job Jason...but if you get a chance I'd like to make sure I don't waste another several hundred hours on top of those I have already invested. By the way, did you ever revise that Operation Sealion scenario? That was some nice work, really enjoyed it. The error window message is as follows: ERROR 2019-12-19 12:56 rsedit.exe: {ERROR ID 4} (BitmapDD.cpp, line 64, XCBitmapDD::BitmapSurface()) Failure to create bitmap surface: C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller’s Campaign Series\Rising Sun\icons 1d38.bmp I click on it, it goes away, and the game plays. I have also had another member attempt the same and he also gets the error message. It is a large map, and it has a lot of bridges on it, very complex. At first I thought it might have been due to my "turning" a bridge midspan over water, but I redid it both ways, and it doesn't effect the error message. If you like I can send you the files. Regards, Dan Caviness RE: Paging Mr. Pethos Please - Jason Petho - 12-20-2019 Good day. I think the easiest solution is find another icons 1d##.bmp, copy it, rename it to icons 1d38.bmp and put it in the folder. Include it as part of your scenario to prevent anyone else having the issue. Jason Petho RE: Paging Mr. Pethos Please - Big Ivan - 12-20-2019 Hmmm, I looked at my 1.04 and 2.02 editions of Rising Sun figuring I would send a copy to Dan or post here. Funny, but I didn't see that numbered icon 1d38 in either of my games. I don't have that error in either game too. Not sure what is going on here.

Hello Jason: Sorry for messing up your last name...for some reason I decided to add an "S" at the end...old age...my apology. Thanks for getting back to me. I'll try to do what you say above. If I have issues I resort to my "tech support" which at this point in life is my Son in Law...lol... Happy Holidays and thanks for getting back to me. Regards, Dan RE: Paging Mr. Pethos Please - Dan Caviness - 12-20-2019 (12-20-2019, 09:25 PM)Big Ivan Wrote: Hmmm, Thanks for getting back to me John! I'm going to redo the map first and see if I can't clear it up. It would help if I knew exactly what the issue is, but I have a few ideas, starting with attempting to "curve" a bridge mid span. The map is of the San Francisco Bay Area, and there are a lot of bridges, very few of which are actually straight line spans. I can make it work. The hexagonal CS world and the real world sometimes don't "fit" very well and you have to make adjustments. regards, Dan |
