True, that should work to...

Andrex · Post by **Andrex** » 13 Dec 2003 23:14

I am aware of all issues because I constantly receive the error reports and more by email.

I'm trying to redude errors and adding brand new features for the next release, which will take longer than expected.

I posted it here because I don't have an email program installed (I use PINE on a remote linux machine I log into using PuTTY) so I couldn't email it to you.

Keep up the good work Andrex, can't wait for the new version and to see all the new features. Hints maybe?

Is it supposed to be a different EXE name than the old version? Because it is, and this means I have two warring versions - the old (1.82) and the new (1.83, self-updated).

another fixes need to be done:
- morecurrency isn't on/off switch
- newspapercolour isn't on/off switch (parameter is year when it is introduced)

No. The updater.exe will delete the old version and name the newly downloaded one to the same name of the previous one, and run it.

Well, see, I've been running the patched version of 1.82 for a while, and its executable is named:

TTDX Configurator.exe

Bit of an odd name if you ask me, but it works anyway...

This new file is named:

ttdxc.exe

Which is it "supposed" to be, now and for the future?

Andrex · Post by **Andrex** » 16 Dec 2003 01:37

Well, you see, when wou download a file that is named "ttdxc.exe" and plan to use it instead of "TTDX Configurator.exe", you must do this :

1. Delete TTDXC configurator.exe
2. Rename ttdxc.exe to TTDX Configurator.exe. TO do this, RIGHT-CLICK the file name in Windows Explorer and select Rename. Then type: "TTDX Configurator.exe" (without quotes).

Why do I have to explain everything? TTDXC will keep the same name of the original file after it was updated.

Oh good grief, I know how to rename files, please...

The point of my question was, did it make a difference. I mean, YOU set the name of both the files, and I didn't know if you had made them different for a REASON.

Now I see you say it doesn't matter, so I will go ahead and rename them.

Having a weird problem here. I downloaded the latest TTDXC 1.84 and extracted it over the previous version. Now whenever I try to lauch the configurator, I get the following error message:

TTDX Configurator.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSVBVM60.DLL is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

What the hell?

Edit: Well, I checked the file above and quite curiously it was dated 2003.12.25 22:53. Interesting.
Anyway I restored the original one from my WinXP setup disk and everything works fine now.

Edit2: Andrex, could you set the multihead parameter interval to accept '0' as a value? The patch already supports this and I like to stick to more realistic settings. (Hooking up more engines to a given consist only gives you a power increase, but you can't exeed the engines' max speed.)

I get the following error after updating to 1.84:

Kruz · Post by **Kruz** » 29 Dec 2003 10:42

I think it's because the site http://www.ttdpatch.net is down. I get the same error

Andrex · Post by **Andrex** » 11 Jan 2004 03:01

This release of TTDXC 1.85 should fix all sort of issues.

- Fixed error on load that was avoiding startup. If you still have this error, delete the entire "TTDXC" section from the Windows registry. (go to Start > Run and type "regedit" to open the registry)
- All switches are saved using the on/off method instead of 1/0.
- Additional switches are saved like normal switches to avoid error in win 9x/Me.
- Removed splash screen and optimized save/read reoutines.
- The servint switch is now saved correctly
- TTDXC 1.84 can already be updated to 1.85 automatically using the Check for Updates feature.

Saiyan · Post by **Saiyan** » 23 Jan 2004 09:15

Andrex, please modify the multihead parameter interval to accept '0'! I'd really like the power without the speed increase. Or does TTDPatch treat '0' as 'off'?

Prof. Frink · Post by **Prof. Frink** » 23 Jan 2004 09:43

mutihead 0 works fine here - it's the setting you should use if you're using the DBSet or TropicSet.

Just use the old-fashioned TTD Configurator - It's called Notepad
