Details would help... Why doesn't it work? Is there a specific error message you recieve when trying to start the patch? What happens when you try to start the patch?

Thanks very much.

You have to configure the generated TTDPATCH.CFG file using TTDX Configurator and voilá.

(yes, I know I use 95% of my posts to promote TTDXC, but there's nothing else to do in these cases...

)

"ttdpatchw.exe -W ttdpatch.cfg" is your friend

But then you have a lot of things enabled you don't want.

There's a reason Windows PCs come with notepad

Have you tried it yet ? I don't think so
Remove your config file
Run the command with -W and see what happens

Every switch is off

Even win2k, so you get the cd error

Text. Generators. Always. Suck.

No offence there, but it's a general rule...

Sorry, I forgot the details.

Okay, I think I know the problem (Yeah

) but I don't know how to fix it (Drat

). When I try to run TTD Patch it says it can't find the cd. When I tried to run tdlx.exe, it couldn't find the Cd. Connection?

Delete the cdpath line (if there is one) from your ttdpatch.cfg, then use Shadow-XIII's TT Registry Editor. (Forgot where it is, he can post a link to it)

Is this the DOS or Windows version of the game? The Windows version has a gamegfx.exe in the folder, so it sounds like the DOS version. In that case, put the line

Code: Select all

cdpath d:\

in your ttdpatch.cfg with d:\ replaced by your CD drive letter or the path to the files from the CD.
Alternatively, copy the contents of the CD into your TTDLX directory and then try running ttdpatch.exe.

how do I edit ttdpatch.cfg?

Sorry, I am not used to using ms-dos. (Yet I can write code in VB?).

If you download it, most people download the Windows, not the DOS version, because the Windows version works on more OSes.
The downloaded files are (I think, because I've never had to download it myself (yet)) the same as the CD so it's still relevant.

(And please don't write in caps. I understand what you're saying even if it is written normally.)

Torahteen: if you want to edit it in DOS then you can type

Code: Select all

edit ttdpatch.cfg

at the command prompt to use the MS-DOS editor, if that's easier for you, or else just do what everyone else said and use notepad.
