[Jonathan]

I'm surprised. Really.

Because you have just fixed one of the most annoying bugs ever to hit my computer. xD

Now with SC4Tool running with administrative privileges (to allow saving to Program Files (x86)/SC4Tool/Export) and with the new DLL applied, everything works like a charm.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll be looking forward to using it during the weekend. =)

It recalls me one of Einstein's thoughts:

Everyone knows that it can't be done. And then comes one, who doesn't know, that it can't be done and does that.

Although there were some other options to manage problems, this is a milestone job  .

[Jonathan]

oh btw, if you check "desktop Composition" it will turn off Aero when you run SC4Tool, so the menus don't take forever to load the shadows.

I think this should be like uploaded to the LEX.

Jonathan

[Rayden]

The SC4Tool problem is with fsh textures?

In that case the problem may be fixed by replacing the FSHLib dll with the vista friendly version.

FSHLib vista: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wfnylitwmmy

it should overrite the old version

Requirements: Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0

Thx a lot, it works

I believe that this thread is important enough to warrant pin status for future reference xD

- Allan Kuan

[Ryan B.]

Agreed.  Pin this gem, please!

Now my Lone Star Mod can move along! 

Thank you so much!

[Tarkus]

Done.  null45, thank you for all your hard work on this fix!  A lot of Vista users are going to be very happy.

-Alex (Tarkus)

[dedgren]

Just like that.

Wow!  Thanks, null45.  You've made a lot of folks happy in the last day or so.

[JoeST]

Wow, someones fixed it after all this time? awsome

somebody should attachify that zip to the first post, and make an explanation, or maybe upload it to the lex/somewhere more long lasting than a file hosting site.

was there any other vista related problems? i cant remember

Joe

[null45]

To isolate the problem I obtained the source using .NET Reflector. I simply built the code in debug mode & ran it in Vista.
The problem with the colorArray became apparent when I ran fshlib under the IDE's debugger while it was being run on vista.   

[sithlrd98]

Thank you soo much for fixing this! I finally upgraded from a POS xp2500 1.5 gig system to a quad4 phenom with 6 gigs , and have had zero problems with SC4 or any of the tools (that were having problems). Now I can mod faster!

Sorry for bumping this thread but I have a problem with the updated FSHLib.dll file for Vista.
Before the update I couldn't see the textures in SC4Tool, but after the update I get this error message when trying to open a file:



Help is really much appreciated, thanks!

[Jonathan]

But before you updated the FSHLib you could open the file?

Jonathan

[Navox]

Yes but I couldn't see the textures..

[Navox]

I got this message after overwriting the old FSHLib file with the new one for Vista.
Before the update, SC4Tool worked but the textures didn't. I've tried it several times now but it still doesn't work.
When I try to open a texture in the texture scanner I get this message



This is what is says in the details tab:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.


If someone could help me out i'd be really grateful, cause I'm really stuck.

What version is the FSHLib dll? (Go into it's propeties and the details tab, or hover the mouse over it)

it should be 0.3.1.31964.

Jonathan

[Navox]

Yes it is 0.3.1.31964. I already checked that, I'm pretty sure everything is correct, but it just doesn't work..

Sorry, shoudln't have asked that as it says in the details that SC4Tool isn't using that version(bold above)?
Maybe you haven't put the FSHLib in the correct location, it needs to replace the dll in the Sc4Tools folder(generally in the Program Files folder)

Jonathan

[Navox]

Yes that's what I found pretty weird as well. Because I just put it in the SC4Tool folder in the Program Files folder.

Look:
