Utility RanDom v2.03 - Map gen & Semirandomizer... Updated - Page 12

From a previous post:

Quote:

Are you now running SemiRandom from within the RanDom frontend? or are you running it directly by SemiRandom.exe?

If you are using just SemiRandom.exe directly, then you will have to manually change the SemiRandom.cfg settings. It sounds like SemiRandom is looking for a map named GANPLAINS.map and (odds are) not finding it, so generating this error.

If that is the case, try running it from RanDom, and remember to change the map name (bright yellow & red field) to a valid map (minus the '.map' extension).

Hope that helps!

Attached to this post is a quick patch for SemiRandom. Upgrades SemiRandom v106 to v107.

To apply:
Replace SemiRandom.exe in your dominions3/SemiRandom folder with the one included in SemiRandom107patch.zip.

Fixes:
Start placement code will no longer ignore "nostart" flags in custom maps.

I am trying to use RanDOM and I get an error about my COMDLG32.OCX not being installed correctly or one of its dependencies not being installed correctly.

I have VB 6 installed and I re-downloaded it from Microsoft just to be sure.

Ballbarian · #**115** March 12th, 2008, 11:51 PM

Sorry that you are having trouble jscott. I suspect that you have an older version of COMDLG32.OCX.

I have attached a version that should work for you. Just unzip and drop the control (file: COMDLG32.OCX) in your dominions3 folder with RanDom.exe. This should fix your problem without having to mess with the one in your system32 folder & without having to fiddle with your system registry.

Let me know if you are still having trouble.

jscott · #**116** March 13th, 2008, 08:14 PM

That did not work. I receive the same error message.

Both RanDom and the comdlg32.ocx file are now in my dominions3 main directory.

Ballbarian · #**117** March 14th, 2008, 12:07 AM

You should be able to find comdlg32.ocx in your windows\system32 directory. It may be that you just need to re-register it by typing "regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx" from the command line in the system32 directory.

In case you are not familiar with the command line I will include more detail below.
You can get a command line from:
Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt.

You should get a window with a black background and a blinking cursor. Type cd\ to take you back to root and then type cd windows\system32 to switch to the system directory.

Now type:
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx

Then:
Exit

This will re-register the control and then exit command prompt.

Hope that helps.

jscott · #**118** March 19th, 2008, 07:52 PM

That did not work because the comdlg32.ocx file is not in my systems32 directory.

I used the one you sent me that I placed in my dominions3 directory and got an error that I could not register it. Research on the error indicated an elaborate fix involving permissions and regedit.

I'm giving up. Probably on Dom3 as a whole in fact. I'm not going to play MP and if the AI can't pick its dominion/scales even remotely intelligently, then I don't know why I'm bothering to play SP.

Foodstamp has done a great job with this set. It has a nice mix of beefy, hard to tackle provinces and nice thematic additions to the standard fare. Very cool.
