Not creating .OVL File

Nwkstr · Post by **Nwkstr** » 20 Oct 2004 09:19

I have the windows version (downloaded) and XP and I downloaded the version 2 patch. I followed the instructions but the patch file didn't create the .OVL file. Not sure why it won't create it but i searched around and didn't find anything.

Can you give the exact error message?

Theres no error messages showing. I open the patch and the screen goes black for a second or two then it just goes back to the desktop.

run ttdpatchw.exe via dos console (menu start -> run: "cmd.exe" or "command.com")

Your a F*****g genius. It was the language. It wasn't set. I must of never seen it when the screen would refresh to try to enter the game. Thanks

have you succesfully set the language and run the game ?

Yea I ran the game but everytime i want to play it i have to set the language.

I know I've seen this elseplaces, but create a batch file (eg ttdpatch.bat)

Code: Select all

@echo off
set LANG=[whatever]
ttdpatch [switches]

or, if you're comfortable messing with your startup files, you can add the "set LANG" line to autoexec.bat.

Couldn't get it to work at first but finally figured it out thanks.

Maybe you could share the solution with us, for the sake of our progeny.

exactly what DaleStan said

@echo off
set LANG=[whatever]
ttdpatchw.exe (or whatever your patch is named, then run this .bat file instead of the patch file)
