Here's a good tip: don't open your game box by double-clicking it in the Windows Explorer. Instead, launch ZunTzu, select the "File->Browse Library" menu item, and use the "Add" button to add your game box. ZunTzu will display a list of errors and warnings.

the only error I am getting when I do that is that the gameboard is a .gif file and it says it needs to be a .jpg or .png. Thing is I have been using a .gif file all along and it has worked fine.
Anyways I changed them to .png's and I am still crashing to desktop and getting a error report.
I did not have any errors when I added the gamebox this time though.
Code: Select all
version 1.2.1.2
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at ZunTzu.Visualization.y.a(Int64 A_0)
at ZunTzu.Visualization.y.b(Int64 A_0)
at ZunTzu.b.b(String[] A_0)
any ideas?
Sorry for being a pain.

ok, I think I have narrowed it down to the gameboard itself. When the graphics are loading for the game I can click on one of the other tabs at the bottom for the counters and ZunTzu does not crash. However as soon as I click on the tab for the main window/map ZunTzu crashes.
I thought maybe my map was too big so I went back to the original one I was using and it is still crashing when I try to view the map.
dunno....

It has something to do with the counters displayed on that game board.
What is the scenario like? Is it a game saved from a previous version of the game box?
If you made changes to the counters, such as turn a double-sided counter to a single-sided counter, chances are your scenario file is no longer consistent with your game box.

yep that was it
Thank you again Jerome...
I am about 95% done with the gamebox so I pretty excited to get it working again!

dammit....I have hit my final roadblock...lol
I have everything done and now it won't load.... I am getting this error
Code: Select all
version 1.2.1.2
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at ZunTzu.a.b.Invoke(IntPtr A_0)
at ZunTzu.Graphics.c.a.e()
at ZunTzu.Visualization.y.c.e()
at ZunTzu.Visualization.y.b(Int64 A_0)
at ZunTzu.b.b(String[] A_0)
It happens while ZunTzu is loading the graphics. I checked out my scenario file (s) and it looks ok and my files have not changed so I am confused. One problem I might be having is file size. My final .ztb file size is 144mb
I really don't have another way around that size because I have to have a different gameboard graphic file for every scenario and at 8-9 mb each, they add up quick. Is there a file size limit to ZunTzu?
Thanks

I don't think you hit a limit. The game box can be 2 GB large, and each image can be up to 65,500 x 65,500 pixels.
Apparently there's a bug in the new image loading code. I'll be working on a fix.
Thanks for reporting the defect.

TGov, could you give it another try?
I've just fixed a bug affecting image loading. Maybe it was related.

No, still getting the same error message as posted above

The easiest way to fix the bug would be for me to download your game box. Is it possible?

email sent, I thought it was the PM tab, doh!
give it a few minutes before trying it.

Hi TGov!
There's a bug affecting the loading of indexed color PNG's (i.e. based on a color palette), such as your Akragas.png image.
I will try to fix the bug, but in the meantime you can use this workaround: revert to your original GIF file and ignore ZunTzu's complaints about it not being a JPEG or PNG.

ah, ok Gif is preferable anyways b/c the file size was smaller with negligible quality loss that I could find.
Thank you very much Jerome.

Jerome,
Would it be possible to make ZunTzu not give an error message about .gif files when you add the gamebox to the library? I would prefer to use .gif's as the file size is a bit smaller and I already have everything done...lol
I would like to be able to go ahead and release the gamebox asap.
