graphics error

Postby frankm1 » Sat Jun 19, 2010 5:57 pm

I just installed some new themes by renaming my graphics.dat file to graphics.zip, extracting it, copying the files, repacking it, and renaming it graphics.dat. But when i start the game the graphics don't show. Here is the debug file:

Dunno about uplink, but the other IV games are a tad picky when it comes to the archives; they need to be prepared with care.

Also, they're RARs, not zips, if IV is consistent. Renaming to zip before extracting works because whatever you use to unpack detects the true file type by looking at the binary data. In the other IV games, it's just possible to leave the data around in a directory unpacked. That's probably the easiest way.
