today I decided to convert MOUL ages via Drizzle. Now, I did everything necessary to get them to convert, but when I clicked convert, after awhile, it gave me an error. I looked in my URU CC game files, and the MOUL ages were there, but their sum files were missing. I recalled seeing a "create .sum file" button in Drizzle, so I tried pressing that, but it said to ask Dustin to fix it . If it worked, would that button fix my problem? If not, what would?

If you are really sure the error occured during sum-file creating and not on some of the prp files which are converted as last ones, you can use PlasmaShop to create the correct sum files.

Ok, well, I noticed that the sum files are converted when I do it manually (so I just converted the sum files manually). However, some .sum files are missing from my MOUL files, so PlasmaShop would probably be the best.

Edit: Jalak and Minkata still don't work... I've noticed that whenever i try to convert all files at once, either through simplicity, or manual, it ALWAYS gives me this error:

Console:stderr: at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source)
Console:stderr: at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)
Console:stderr: at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)
Console:stderr: at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)

Is that the full error, or was there more in the log? Also, what version of Drizzle were you using, and what version of Windows, and is it 32bit or 64bit?

The sum files will not be created if there is a critical error earlier in the process, because it stops at that point. That is what happened here.

There is quite a bit more of the error, but it was so long, I wasn't sure I should put it all in, but if it'd help get an idea of what went wrong, here is is:

I'm using version 19 of Drizzle, Windows XP, and by 32 or 64 bit, I'm assuming you mean screen resolution (32 or 16 bit color), if that's what you mean, it's 32 bit.

I also noticed this time around (I reinstalled URU, after what happened below) that some of the PRP files aren't being converted either, but when I convert SUM and PRP files manually, they convert just fine. I would do that, but last time I tried converting all the files in the manual conversion list (age by age, including GUIs), my avi came out like this when I started URU:

Which is exactly why you should not use manual conversion unless you know *exactly* what you are doing and why

yeah... I learned that the hard way

That looks painful.
I know a good chiropractor if that would help.

I think a trip to the bone surgeon is in order...

so, looking at the error log, can anyone see what my problem is?
