Ditto. I need to add it to my exceptions list to allow it to run unmolested.The new .exe is tripping Avira; says it contains malware 'TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen4'.
Yes, it does, menus in particular. If you know that much, why are you still doing it?Scenario folder name? I think there is a punctuation mark and I seem to remember this has caused issues in the past, though I don't recall what with.
That guide is in need of an update. The last one was 10 months ago. Since then there've been significant changes that affect steps 4 & 5:Don't forget to link to Catfish's ToT installation guide, which is also pretty comprehensive.
- ToTPP v0.11 added DirectShow support.
- ToTPP v0.11 launcher defaults to list of 'safe' patches.
- The K-Lite codec pack has given Indeo the flick entirely since I last paid attention, so it's no longer a solution to the Indeo problem. However, DirectShow video and sound are now enabled by default with the ToTPP.
That's odd. I've been testing this a little, with the aim of creating a suitable replacement for step 4 (Indeo codec installation) of the guide. That included removing Indeo from my machine; unregistering it and manually deleting it from the Windows\SysWOW64 folder. I didn't experience any crashes with 3 different DirectShow/ffdshow filter packs. The main problem I encountered was particular to my WotR scenario: the low-framerate videos Tootall asked about earlier in the thread flash on the screen for less than a second. Such low framerates don't seem to be supported by these newer codecs; at least I haven't found a way yet. It would be nice to retain this method because a) I think it's an elegant solution and b) the average file size is only around 50 kB. Any ideas?I noticed that the DirectShow video patch crashes the game when Indeo codecs are missing. This might explain those crashes at startup some people are having. Try disabling it in the launcher for now, I've fixed the problem for the next release.
I found a bug (ToTPP v0.13.1) with the 'Extra unit types' patch enabled: the @NEWXFORM and @NEWPARADROP boxes pop up when Advanced Flight is acquired. Also on the topic of the 'Extra unit types' patch, you might want to take a look at this thread started by Minipow in the Tech Support subforum.
ToTPP v0.13.1 Notes:
For me, the barbarian leader icon is mapped to the cell immediately following the block of regular units, not column 9 of the last row. Is that what is meant?The barbarian diplomat unit still has to be the last tile in the last row, so be careful to move it all the way to the end.
Do units 80 to 127 have any kind of sprite (static or animated) support? The train animation is unit99.spr.
