14.04 loads fine for me?

I myself cannot get my Win98 system to run it without major hassel and workarounds. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

But I have been able to install another windows Version on another partition and it works fine http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .I think I will have to finally find out where my Win98 CD is, so I can reinstall it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Very strange... it works flawlessly on XP and 2000 for me. I have no opportunity to test it on any other OS, but I see no reason why it would cause problems on other OS that any other mods or SE4 itself would not cause...

Stupid addition to add to your mod info (and probably everyone else doing a mod) is to make sure they get the latest updated image files. I downloaded the full Version, but still am downloading the other large meg files by dial-up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

The mod does say that it uses the latest Version of the image mod in the readme. It is very important to read readmes before you try to play a mod...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The problem can arise from wrong expectation of se4 about bitmap header. I've heard that bitmaps generated under NT5 has a slightly different header format (generated not according to BITMAPHEADERINFO) and in some circumstances it can cause errors on 9x machines. I'd recommend to open every bmp in the pictures\game folder with Paint and then save it as bmp again. I'm not sure that'll help, but at least you can try.

If they were made in a program other than Paint, that should not be an issue. Running Photoshop on XP or 2000 should not result in Photoshop saving the bitmaps with different headers. It would still save them with whatever headers Photoshop puts there. This has not been a problem with Image Mod bitmaps created under XP, for example. It might be worth a shot though if nothing else works to get the mod running... probably only the folders with the Intro pics would need to be bothered with, given how Parabolize got the mod to run...

Well, I opened the intro.bmp in paint on my W2k machine and resaved it - same header, but when I opened the same bmp in IrfanView and resaved it, I've got different header. That's why I posted this.

Hrm...

Having a problem with Adamant, I think.

I dinked around with it Last night, after loading image files and patches and such and I had no problems. Tonight, it freezes every time I load it, either on the INTRO screen, when loading, resuming or trying to generate a game.

I am running 1.91, Win98.

I am loading through the SE4 launcher program.

Quadrant Mod runs without difficulty.

Scandisk and Norton find no problems. Emptied TEMP directory.

Every time I load Adamant, it changes the Path file, even through the launcher, so I can't restart the basic game without launching Adamant.

But the more frustrating thing is the locking up, which freezes the entire system. Any advice?

Try what Aiken suggested. Open the Intro pics in MS Paint and save them.
