Strange File Errors

SallyAcorn said:

1). Error loading a saved game. I didn't find a solution for this anywhere, but it's always possible that I overlooked it. I saved that game yesterday and since then, I haven't been able to access it again. Upon clicking my saved game, the game crashes and i'm left with this:

Code:

Solution:

Re-add the wads you had loaded when that game was saved. (It should really get fixed in 1.1 so it automatically does this, but for now...)

2). This mostly has to do with the net launcher. After running the net launcher and trying to run a file i've added to the library I get a file runtime error (I renamed the netlauncher folder):

Code:

Solution:

This error means it can't find srb2win.exe.
Put SRB2net.exe in the same folder as srb2win.exe and all your wads. Only add wads from that same folder.

I also get this same error when I try to run nothing:

Code:

Solution:

I really like how you are so organized, but this won't work. All wads have to be in the same folder as srb2win.exe and the launcher.

Could it be that I didn't install the visual basic runtimes to the right place?

Also, while i'm posting this, I figure I might as well save you from more question asking on my part by just posting them here as well:

Other Questions:

•What does being kicked for "Consistency Failure" mean @_@?

Code:

It means that you are in a different place on two different computers, and that won't work.

•How do I join an online mulitplayer game with a modified character WAD (so that I don't always have to play as Sonic and don't get the message similar to~ "You have modified your game files; You must restart the game to join")?

Code:

You don't. You start up the game, and join this server, if the server has wads added, your game looks for them [i]in the same folder as srb2[/i] and automatically adds them.

•How do I host a game with modified levels (so that I don't get the message that's similar to~ "You have modified your game files; You must restart the game to join")?

Code:

That won't happen if you try to host. Try it!

•Which folder do I copy and paste the WADs to so that I'll always have them in game (so I don't manually have to ADDFILE)?

Code:

You can't do this. Sorry.

Sorry if this all seems offendingly elementary to anyone. If I missed something in the Wiki, links to that are appreciated also. All help is greatly appreciated in general.
