Having some trouble

I'm having some trouble getting custom progs working.. I edited the file 'progs\heretic\cgame\MenuSpinningSkull.vc' so the speed is at 50, I compiled it, copied the files (clprogs.dat, shared.dat, svprogs.dat) to 'vavoom\basev\heretic\progs' and in the launcher I tried many different things in the progs box, but couldn't get anything to work <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> Am I doing something wrong? Any help is much appreciated.. Thanks

Tried that.. doesn't work <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> When I try the command line attempt 'vavoom95 -game heretic -window -opengl -debug -progs basev/heretic/progs/' I get this error 'This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.' When I remove the '-game heretic' bit it works, but my progs don't <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

It seems you haven't read it through attentively. "-PROGS" parameter is no longer supported. You should use only "-game" parameter to define game dir. It can be either one of the original game dirs or your own custom dir. In any case your new DAT files should be placed into wad0.wad (if you use original game dir, simply replace progs in the wad0.wad by your new progs). Again, here I described it rather detailed: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.vavoom-engine.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=4630#4630">http://www.vavoom-engine.com/forums/vie ... =4630#4630</a><!-- m -->

Ok, I replaced the .dat files in wad0 with mine.. but then i try set it up it gives me this error 'This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.' I reverted back to the original wad0 and it works..

Launch Vavoom adding the -debug parameter, and look at the debug.txt in basev folder for more details about the error. Then post the last part of the debug.txt text file, it will help us to resolve the issue <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

Didn't know how much to get.. - W_GetNumForName - W_CreateLumpReaderName - VMemberBase::StaticLoadPackage - CL_Init - Host_Init ERROR: W_GetNumForName: clprogs not found!

Why, all is clear. CLPROGS.DAT is missing in wad0.wad file. There must be three DAT lumps in wad: CLPROGS, SVPROGS and SHARED. Also probably you should check wether version of progs you compile is the same as Vavoom's version.

They are there.. Anyway, I got it working, I just didn't have 'PR_START' above the 3 dat files and 'PR_END' under them. Thanks for all the help. It works now <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
