Just tested and am unable to duplicate. Maybe try a fresh install of hitotext.

So do I have to get a high score for this to show? Still unable to duplicate running the suggested games.

This should have been fixed in a recent release.

[Visitor Q]

Yeah I had this issue prior to updating the program.

well just downloaded the new hitotext, hiscore.dat and [1943 the battle of midway us] is poppin up the prob

and ive just looked at moon cresta thats not showin hi scores in gameex and when i load the game

the hi scores are messup

[Tom Speirs]

Its not quite the latest version of HitToText, but the error issue should not be in GameEx, as I compiled a version of HiToText for GameEx myself. Error messages like that are really unnacpteble in GameEx.

I think Fyrecrypts should wrap all the code in an exception check since its called from front ends, but I cant answer the quetion on the other items.

tom is it best for me to download gameex with the hitotext an use that

coz all i did was download hitotext from the forum and copy over the one that was in the gameex dir

[Tom Speirs]

Its up to you really. On the plus side it "should" be stable, but on the negative side its not the latest and greatest version.

I reported the popup error problem to Fyrecrypts a while ago and he said he fixed it. It should always fail silently so this should be reported to him if it's still happening. To quote him recently..

Quickly did a new release that adds more exception handling to the read and write flags, so you shouldn't see any more unhandled exceptions causing intrusive popups.

So I will make a post about it and link to this.

[Fyrecrypts]

I will take a look at this, can you please attach a copy of your 1943.hi file it will be in your hi folder.

hia there sorry to add to the prob but i did a gameex man-update and all is ok

Thank you, it looks like the problem is that some .hi files are generated with older versions of the hiscore.dat. Deleting the problem .hi files and recreating new ones by playing the game will fix this problem. I think I need to develop a utility that will allow you to import and export hi scores so if you need to remove outdated .hi files you don't have to go through a lot of crap just to save your older scores.

Yes, the hard way. =D Write down the scores you want to save, and then use HiToText from the command line: The command for adding scores to Moon Cresta is: HiToText -w "<Dir to mooncrgx.hi>" 1 <score to save> <name>

You'll have to do this for all the scores you want to save.

lol brill m8 will give it a go!

thanx for your help Fyrecrypts
