Im having a problem with dowloaded savegames

[krisevo]

I recently downloaded some of other people's games but when i downloaded them and then attempted to play them all that came up was a load of confusing writing but how can i get the actual game up?

You have Transport Tycoon and maybe you downloaded games from Trasnport Tycoon Deluxe ??

Hi and welcome,

Could you post a printscreen (jpeg !!!) with this strange writing

From the e-mail I sent krisevo:

Right-click on the download link, and choose "Save As Target...", or a
similar menu item depending on the browser you are using. Save it to your disk as TRTxx.SV1, where xx is a two-digit number that isn't used by another game. Personally, I'd recommend you download and use my Saved Game Manager (http://www.savedgamemanager.uk.tt) to copy downloaded games to your TTD dir, without having to worry about filenames.

The technical reason for you getting a screen of garbage is that there isn't a MIME type for SV1 files, so they are downloaded as plain text by some browsers (eg, Netscape).

btw. Owen few days ago I posted you SGM error ... so?

[orudge]

Can you give me a link to the topic again please?

[SHADOW-XIII]

I have just downloaded it again and installed it ....
After selecting directories first error has occured

[orudge]

Can you post the PLUGINS2.INI file from your TTSGM directory please?

[SHADOW-XIII]

It is a standard INI (I nothing changed ...I just installed it) but here you go
(extension changed to TXT)

Do the following files exist:

C:\Moje Dokumenty\Gry\Transport Tycoon\Editor\TTD Save Game Manager\TESTDLL\TEST.DLL
C:\Moje Dokumenty\Gry\Transport Tycoon\Editor\TTD Save Game Manager\TESTCPP\RELEASE\TESTCPP.DLL

If so, try going to a DOS prompt and typing:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 "C:\Moje Dokumenty\Gry\Transport Tycoon\Editor\TTD Save Game Manager\TESTDLL\TEST.DLL"

regsvr32 "C:\Moje Dokumenty\Gry\Transport Tycoon\Editor\TTD Save Game Manager\TESTCPP\RELEASE\TESTCPP.DLL"

(two seperate commands). See if that helps.

Ah, no, wait, I see the problem! It's to do with localisation and so on. TTSGM compares versions in a bit of a hackish way, in some cases, and hardcodes the difference between a major and minor version with '.'. In your case though, it's ',' though, and TTSGM doesn't like this. I'll fix this for a future version.

Well, I've fixed it on my own computer, but the thing is, I changed the Manager to use a new menu system (Office 97/2000/XP-style), which also allows many enhancements with the possibilities of plug-ins, but there's a nasty bug which I need to fix first of all...
