Preview in RF doesnt work

[sankha93]

Try videosetup.exe with DirectX 6. It does not work in my computer with DX7.

Possible you have a corrupt menu.ini file. Try reinstalling it.

I changed to direct3d6 bhut still no preview.

Where do I find the menu.ini file?

[jnam]

I found the menu.ini file, do I have to reinstall rfedit in order to get a new menu.ini or can I just extract it, if I have to reinstall rfeditpro will I loose all the files I've created?

I opened the realityfactory.log and found only this:

Code: Select all

Searching for fullscreen driver

at the top.

Previously it had more, see above post, so I assume that it has to do with the driver in my comp. So the question then is: what driver do I need.

I have the NVIDIA 3D driver

Thanks again.

Could you post your pc specs, with operating system? Also try the OpenGL driver.

Does the demo run that comes with RF ???

Does the demo run that comes with RF ???

No it doesn't, none of the demos work.

I have windowsXP NVIDA driver, plenty of ram and 300gb hd

I used all the display settings, 3d 7, 3d 6 and openGL. None work.

Have you got spaces in the directory names? RF doesnt like spaces. Try Installing directly to the root drive.

[jnam]

Here's the directory paths, should I change the root directoy for ../RealityFactory..?

Code: Select all

TxlName=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\media\levels\default.txl
TxlSearchPath=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\
PreviewPath=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\realityfactory.exe
Headers=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\source
ObjectsDir=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\media\Objects
ProjectDir=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\media\levels
Include=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\source
Actors=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\media\Actors
PawnIni=C:\Program Files\RealityFactory\install\Pawn.ini

[jnam]

The RealityFactory.log shows only the line:

Code: Select all

Searching for fullscreen driver

Is there a way to point RealityFactory to where the driver is? Is there a line in any of the .ini files that I can re-write to find the drivers?

Thanks all, hope I am not being a pain but I am really looking forward to being able to work with this program.

There are spaces in some your directory paths "Program Files" is one. It sometimes does cause problems. It's worth a try installing directly to c:\RealityFactory....
There is no problem with your spec. I run RF on a poor spec pc no problems I have no video card at all in my old pc its built in on the main board no shaders or anything just a basic spec win2k 1gb ram. I also run on win xp with gforce 6600 and on a new laptop running vista 32bit high spec pc and they all run ok.

[jnam]

cool, gonna try reinstalling into c:\RealityFactory, will let you know, Thanks

[jnam]

Well, I reinstalled, made sure all the paths had no spaces, tried every videosetup there is and still doesnt work, I still get the "Searching for fullscreen driver" . All the files compile etc, like Ive posted before but I guess I'll have no luck with it.

I dont know where to specify the driver.

Thanks anyway.
