Hi. I have a Daphne question. does anyone have the correct daphne config format for gameex? I can get daphneloader to load a game, I can even get daphne ( the command version) to run a game but Gameex will not run one through daphne. I have posted my log file. Can someone look at it and tell me if they see something wrong? I've been at this for three weeks and I really need some help. Thanks Voyagermb

Hi. Have you tried setting GameEX to 32bit color (it's under Display in the Setup Wizard) ? From your GameEX Log you have your windows desktop running at 32bit color and GameEX running at 16bit color.

Hi. Have you tried setting GameEX to 32bit color (it's under Display in the Setup Wizard) ? From your GameEX Log you have your windows desktop running at 32bit color and GameEX running at 16bit color.

:)

That's what I'm configured at right now. As a matter of fact I changed it back to 16 bit to see if that helped. Nothing.

This issue has been resolved...It was due to spaces in the framfile path

example -framefile c:\daphne\dragons lair\dragons_lair.txt was changed to -framefile "c:\daphne\dragons lair\dragons_lair.txt"

If you are experincing issues with daphne be sure to check this as well.

I had the same Problem. Make sure you have no spaces between the letters in your daphne path and your gameex config. Rename your Daphne Path like "-framefile c:\daphne\dragons lair\dragons_lair.txt" in "-framefile c:\daphne\dragonslair\dragonslair.txt". Remember no spaces, DOS Command Lines don´t like Spaces! In my case it works.

Thanks for the reply :) As you can see in the above post this issue has been resolved.. With the same fix as you suggested.. Dos assumes with the spaces the command is done and your adding an additional argument.... the "" define that spaces are part of a path.. You woulnt need quotes if you had no spaces in the path... Just FYI
