Add Pahts in ULM -> crash in TPOTS

[gimlet]

Bleatings from a confused Gimlet

I have a working TPOTS installation, with Relto. I installed the latest ULM. The game runs fine. As soon as I add an age, e.g. Pahts, it does in fact show up on my shelf, i.e. the game starts normally, and I can walk into my hut. I can link anywhere else - nexus, TPoTS ages, etc. However - as soon as I attempt to link to PAHTS, i get the link out, but then a popup windows that says "Some game files are missing or corrupt. Please reinstall Uru." What happened? Something is not right with ULM I think, since trying to add the other ages (and deleting Pahts) results in no extra book appearing. Only Pahts adds the extra book. Help?

The sum file needs to be fixed.

Use the search function on here, and search for UruFun, it's a program that will fix the sum file in a eye blink for you.

That did it! thanks. Now also downloading some of the public ages in ULM. I presume that I'll have to fix their sum files also?

[Trylon]

Probably not.
If the age icons are green, then it is safe to execute them.

Yah, it seems to be a problem that only affects AP only.....not sure why, I think Aloys told me once, but I've forgotten since then.

Always try to run the Age first. But don't believe it when it says your Uru Game files are bad, they aren't! Just run the fix.


We need to post that link to UruFun somewhere, I just did this for someone this morning over at the Maintainers Forum too. I think I did post a link there.

That problem really doesn't make sense to me. The sum file provided with the installation IS correct. I am 100% sure of that, I have checked it and recreated it countless times since I first heard of that problem, yet for some unknown reason it will not work for some people... I just don't understand.

Hey Trylon, do you think you could had a 'fix sum file' feature to ULM?

[andylegate]

Ha!

That's like that first version of Camp Bravo I released, the day time one.

Half the people linked in to black screens, and it worked out to be anyone with a ATI type of video card!

I ended up fixing it by redoing the fni file.

Still never figured that one out.

Thank goodness I didn't have that problem with the Night Time version!
