Default Quest Tool Crashin

Hi George -

Your tools are great!

Having a problem with the quest tool, which I just downloaded. I ran the register batch file and it couldn't find imagelist.ocx - it wasn't in the resources dir. I copied it in from another directory and then it seemed to work. When I run quests though, it loads briefly then vanishes, no error message or anything. Any guidance here?

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. When I press Let's Start, the gui flashes briefly then disappears. I get no message on what is wrong...just a ping.

I am trying to figure it out. So far there's nothing that I know that's unusual about the tool, but I may release a version just to detect the error better.

The code initialises a code sense ocx that works on windows 7 64bit, and worked before on XP 32 bit. So I really have no idea.

I'll upload the tool later - and hopefully it will give me an idea what's going on.

After doing a registry clean I ran the tool again and I got an error once that told me a dependency of a.ocx failed to install properly. I ran the batch file to install the ocx's again and the message disappeared, but still the application only flashed the gui briefly, closed down with no error message and a ding.

My system is running XP 32 sp3

Since a.ocx failed, then I presume the other tools I have fail as well?
I would register the a.ocx as an administrator

The account I'm running on is an administrator account, and no actually, your item editor and npc editors work perfectly

I actually PM'd George about this exact same thing a few days ago.

George my friend. There is a missing file in the zip download. It is called "imagelist.ocx". Put that in the download and your problem is solved.

That is exactly what I told you if you don't remember. It's not a problem with the program. It's just missing a file..

I have imagelist.ocx in the resources directory and it is properly listed in the batch file. I just ran it again to make sure that imagelist.ocx did in fact register properly and it did. I am still having the problem of the closing qui with a ding. And yes other of georges tools, namely the npc and items editor are working perfectly. I wish you luck on fixing this one George. Your tools are awesome.

It's not imglist.ocx because it's not used in the program exe. I tried adding it to the resources folder, so don't believe it's the problem. The imglist you have from my other tools is one and the same.

I have compiled a debug version which should help identify the line of code that causes this.


What I think is going on is the code sense control cmcs21.ocx is failing, and what I would do is place the file in 2 locations
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\cmcs21.ocx (make these folders if needed)
and
c:\windows\system32\cmcs21.ocx


Let me know if that helps or not..

I'll send the link later today with the error debug built in.

Sorry George, placing one copy in system 32 and creating a vb98 directory in c:\program files\Microsoft Visual studio\ and placing a copy of cmcs21.ocx did nothing to change anything that I can see. No additional error messages nor any change in the apps behavior.

It's the latest v.6 with the last service pack.
I'm very stumped by the issue - I finished the compiled source with error checking today, and we'll see if that gives an indication where it's broken.
I'll post the binary once I get home from work.

Worst case scenario, It will require a partial rewrite - eliminating the code sense control to a typical text box, but I'll do that once we figure out the error's source.

We'll see after you run the binary later..

Ahh....I don't have that version available to me. The thought was to try to compile your source on my computer to see what came up as far as errors if any....but alas that is something I cannot do. I only have VB Express 2005, 2008 and 2010 available to me.
