help please

[the bigg]

could it be that you closed the dos windows near the end of the install, thus preventing the creation of the needed TIS files?

BTW @ Al17: the bat you launch seems to be something like
start /w tispack tiz1 override\tis1
start /w tispack tiz2 override\tis2

could you switch it to the standard
tispack tiz1 override\tis1
tispack tiz2 override\tis2

to avoid spawning all the dos windows on top of the screen? working with those windowes continually appearing on front of the screen is almost impossible (and yes, I do stuff on the background even while installing stuff, and never had a problem)

yep... probably this is the problem. check if there is this file in the override folder: md0100.tis. it you don't find it, this means you have to install again rtt.

I know it's quite annoying but it seems setup factor (the program I used to make the setup) doesn't like only one window. however i'll try to fix this problem in the next version

Hmm, it seems that the mp3 (or ogg, can't remember which) unpacking can work in one window.
BTW, try setting the silent mode for faster execution:

tisunpack -s -o outfile.tis infile.tiz

I know it seems impossible at a glance, but printing stuff on screen delays a helluva execution - even if you are printing pure text on the console!

ok, I'll try

@ lord-jyssev: have you found that file?

I got the same problem when leaving trademeet.
And yes I look for the suggested tis file in my override directory and the only tis file I found was ar0072.TIS
I reinstalled 2 times and every time the installation completed and when i see the press enter to exit message i prees enter (like it has been said ) but another command prompt opened and i see to many error messages like bad command or file name... too many parameters. I am new to installing mods. But according to ur words, these must be the part that the conversion of 'tis' files occurs and although I reinstalled it again the same problem happened any help would be wellcome

[al17]

install rtt. after the bugged command prompt:

COPY rtt\Tiz\mdXXXX.tiz(s) -> BGII - SoA/override/mdXXXX.tiz(s) (about 100 files)

COPY rtt\tisunpack.exe -> BGII - SoA/tisunpack.exe

COPY rtt\tiz2tis.bat -> BGII - SoA/tiz2tis.bat

run tiz2tis

[cru]

thanks so much I'll try

Nothing has changed again the same error messages.
After that I look at ur tiz2tis.bat file and try to execute the command lines 1 by 1 but I think it gives the error message after the line that starts with 'for'.Dos couldn't recognize for command do i have to set path to somewhere? (By the way im not using XP, using windows mi)

Hi folk

I've just had the same problems trying to install RTT - but was successful in the end.

Yesterday the installation failed with the failure to unpack TIZ files reported above and a crash as soon as I tried to leave Trademeet.

Today was successful (so far at least - I have been able to visit a number of different areas and get back to Trademeet without crashing so I am assuming for the moment it's ok). I did not need to follow the procedures above Including copying/renaming over 100 files)

Major difference between installs is today I installed the music, whereas yesterday I skipped it. I can't remember the exact sequence yesterday but today I know I ran SoA into Irenicus' dungeon BEFORE unpacking the RTT files - yesterday might have been a different sequence. Alos downloaded and unpacked the "bat" file above - didn't know where to put it so don't think it had any effect

Don't know if any of these points are relevant to the crashes but may give someone a bit of help in avoiding problems.

This is a follow up to my previous post after a rather frustrating evening.


Once I had checked out that my basic install worked (above) I finished off the job - this involved un-installing the music, and installing the RTT item pack and a few G3 tweaks. After a couple of real-time hours exploring Trademeet I set off for the dwarf's mountain and the game crashed.

A check of the oveeride folder showed that the file md0100.tis had disappeared (it was there when I made my previous post)

So - start again:

Load up RTT including music - md0100.tis present

As a test - un-install music - md0100.tis gone (and most or all other tis files as well).

It would appear to my untutored mind that the install problem occurs when the music is either not installed at all or removed - I will have to leave it to those more skilled than I to work out why, but hope my info helps.

Now have an install with music & will have to put up with it.

Also - if the music install is skipped you do not get lots of "unpacking xxxx.tiz" messages - they were missing from my first install yesterday but appeared today after music installed.

Second - right at the at end of installation (after "unpacking...") there was a message approx "cannot find DialogF.tlk" - is this going to break the game for me later?

[al17]

before installing RTT, you MUST say hello to Irenicus.
the first time you install RTT, you can skip NOTHING.

these can be found in the readme.

this could be the **** bug we were looking for! I can easily fix this problem. thanks for the report.
