Guest Sledge Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Hi. I downloaded the D2D version (I believe the XCOM version is 1.2 according to the game dir readme) running on DOSbox. For some reason, the editor can't find the saved game files. I use the select location button and tried every directory in the game folder but to no avail. What am I missing? In the root directory it gives me a list of empty slots that I can't select, but I do have two saved games (slots one and two). Any ideas? The version of the hack is v3. I tried the v3.1 but it gives the following error when I try to select the directory: *EDIT* The error below is from the installer version. The version of the hack that gives me the empty saved slots is also 3.1, but it's the executable. See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text **************System.ArgumentNullException: Path cannot be null.Parameter name: path at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share) at System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(String path, Byte[] bytes) at X_Com_Hack_v3._1.CFGFILE.SaveSetting(String Section, String NewValue) at X_Com_Hack_v3._1.ChooseToEdit.selectUFODirectory() at X_Com_Hack_v3._1.ChooseToEdit.GetClick(Rectangle ptClick) at X_Com_Hack_v3._1.frmMain.frmMain_MouseDown(Object sender, MouseEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseDown(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativewindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Nativewindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) ************** Loaded Assemblies **************mscorlib Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4206 (VistaSP2GDR.050727-4200) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework64/v2.0.50727/mscorlib.dll----------------------------------------X-Com Hack v3 Assembly Version: 3.0.17.1 Win32 Version: 3.0.17.1 CodeBase: file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/2K%20Games/X-Com%20UFO%20Defense/XCOM/X-Com%20Hack%20v3.exe----------------------------------------Microsoft.VisualBasic Assembly Version: 8.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 8.0.50727.4016 (NetFxQFE.050727-4000) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/Microsoft.VisualBasic/8.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll----------------------------------------System Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4205 (VistaSP2GDR.050727-4200) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.dll----------------------------------------System.Windows.Forms Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4016 (NetFxQFE.050727-4000) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Windows.Forms/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Windows.Forms.dll----------------------------------------System.Drawing Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4016 (NetFxQFE.050727-4000) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Drawing/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Drawing.dll----------------------------------------System.Runtime.Remoting Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4016 (NetFxQFE.050727-4000) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Runtime.Remoting/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Runtime.Remoting.dll----------------------------------------System.Configuration Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4016 (NetFxQFE.050727-4000) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Configuration/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Configuration.dll----------------------------------------System.Xml Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4016 (NetFxQFE.050727-4000) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Xml/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Xml.dll----------------------------------------System.Core Assembly Version: 3.5.0.0 Win32 Version: 3.5.30729.1 built by: SP CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Core/3.5.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Core.dll----------------------------------------System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4016 (NetFxQFE.050727-4000) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.dll---------------------------------------- ************** JIT Debugging **************To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for thisapplication or computer (machine.config) must have thejitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.The application must also be compiled with debuggingenabled.

hatfarm Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hmmm... are you sure you have the most recent version of .Net? It looks like the program cannot resolve the directory, is it in a temporary folder or anything? it should really still work, but I want to make sure these are not causing the issues.

hatfarm Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 So, I had someone email me with a similar issue. I think the issue is that the installer of XCOM puts the files in a hidden area, so when you try to point the editor to the files, they "don't exist". The easiest way to resolve this, is to make all of your hidden files visible, which you can do in Windows 7 by following these steps: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial151.html Then, search for base.dat and that should point you to a saved game directory (GAME_1, or GAME_2, etc)... point the editor to the directory above this directory, and you should be good to go. Hopefully that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
