I installed the Windows version, applied the patch, and only set the Win2k switch, more hotkeys and game speed to see if they'd do what I wanted. They did, so I used the configurator to set up the rest of the switches. When I tried to run the patch, I got this:
After I clear the Windows error message dialog, I get two extra lines added, which are "Result: [Error!]" and "Press any key to abort." The screenshot is taken from a time when I hadn't deleted the TTDLOADW file, the only discernible difference is that when I do so, I get a couple of extra lines before the "TTDLOADW is ok" saying that it's creating the file.
I tried deleting TTDLOADW.OVL, and double checked that the switch to force building it was on, and I got the same error message. I tried using TTDPC to set the switches, and again got the same error message. I haven't yet gone through and tried doing the switch editing manually; I'll give that a shot tonight when I get home and see if that works. I did do a quick Google search but the most often returned piece of advice was deleting TTDLOADW.OVL, which I'd already tried repeatedly.
In the meantime, can anyone suggest anything that I might have missed or set incorrectly? Are there any switches that conflict with each other or are known to cause a problem on load? I may try reinstalling later as well, but the fact that it works with only a couple of switches set, and doesn't work when I have all the switches I think I want set, implies that it's probably not an install problem. There are no saved games or anything in this install (since I haven't got it to work yet, heh!). I'm guessing that the two programs aren't setting up the config file correctly, but testing that will have to wait for tonight.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
