[SOLVED]Help getting TA3D to run on WinXP

Post by Clee-Saan » Sun Mar 22, 2009 12:03 pm

I'm creating two topics here because i'm trying to run the game on two different systems.

So here's the deal : i installed TA3D, then used install.bat to extract the skirmish and campaign files, and now the game runs. There are two issues however : it does not run fullscreen, and that's quite annoying, and also it crashes when i try to start a game, during the loading of the 3D models.

The error message says "an error has occured, debugging information could not be logged because this isn't not supported by your system."

How do i fix that ?

What happens when you try to set fullscreen mode ?

If 3DM files are not loaded properly, remove them (since you have OTA content, original sprites/models will be used instead) it'll help.

Wait, there was a fullscreen option ? >< Silly me, i didn't see it. Yeah, it works fine.

What are the 3DM objects ? When i start the game it says i'm using the TA3D mod, and that's also the only mod in my mod folder. Where should i look ?

the "ta3d" mod in the mod list is the WIP free set of resources to replace OTA ones, but it is very incomplete yet (you have new cursors, and that's all for now). The 3DM objects can be found in the objects3d folder (both in ta3d_dir/ and in ta3d_dir/mods/ta3d).
