Sadistic Sandtrout Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Welcome! I just recently downloaded DuneMaps to mah laptop to fix together some very own campaignz. Unfortunately, DuneMaps refuses to run. Every time I'd start it, I get a "*** caught unhandled exception, terminating" message, when all the data files are in the appropiate folder. Yes, I installed that Visual C++ redistribution package as well, and I include every data in the folder it needs (DUNE.PAK, SCENARIO.PAK, DUNE2.EXE, ENGLISH.PAK). I've downloaded a different Dune 2 from another abandonware site, but I still get the same error. Yup, I use the 1.07 PAK files, not the original ones. It's also interesting to see that DuneMaps mentions "DUNE2.PAK" when searchin' for da files, but there is no such file in Dune 2, there'z only "DUNE.PAK", this must be a typo I guess. Dune 2 itself runs flawlessly. I just finished the Ordos campaign today wit' only 18 units lost (good strategist is good :D ) Oh yea...I use Windows XP SP3, and mah laptop is an Acer Extensa 5635Z.

MrFlibble Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I remember I had trouble running DuneMaps a while ago, although I don't remember what error message it gave me. You can always use another editor, like TCH's Dune 2 Scenario Editor, which works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdosConquerer Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hello community, I'm a new user from germany and I already have a question: I've used the Dune2Edit / Scenario Editor v1.0 .I've edited a scenario and I added another buildings, units, reforcements, etc. and saved the scenario. But unfortunately the changes don't work ingame. Is there anything other to do for importing the changed scenario into game? Thank you in advance!

drnovice Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You have to repack SCENARIO.PAK archive, or add INI file into root and restart scenario when you load it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdosConquerer Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Oh thank you! I think, meanwhile I maked out, how to do this. It must work too, if I open the scenario.ini-files with windows-notepad-editor, copy the complete script and paste it into the designated place of the scenario.pak-file. P.S.: The newest version of the scenario-editor work only on Win-XP. Not on Win-7 or higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnovice Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 You haven't to change SCENARIO.PAK directly, first depack archive and then change INI files one by one. Then repack INIs into SCENARIO.PAK file. Please look at: List of Dune II Editing Tools http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/19752-list-of-dune-ii-editing-tools/ Scenario Editing info http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/18657-a-handy-dune-2-scenario-editor-for-windows/ http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/20490-dune-2-scenario-format/ http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/17873-scenario-editing-questions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdosConquerer Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thank you! I'll try it out. Greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It's annoying how the topics all got auto-archived, though... for discussions on a game that's 20 years old, on a forum that's not very active, these topics should really not get locked automatically after one year -_- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdosConquerer Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Do anyone have the working MSVCP100.dll file, DuneMaps is asking for? I already googled for that file, but there aren't anyone for Windows XP and DuneMaps seem to work only on Windows XP. Possibly it's the only error, which is to repair. Or do anyone have a working version of DuneMaps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Ehh. One quick google search tells me it's part of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.http://www.telltalegames.com/community/discussion/51069/msvcp100-dll-missing-problem-solved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
