Windows 2000: Error before matches

Fighter_HayabusaPosted on 03/07/03 at 17:13:57

I burned a copy of my TNM folder on a CD ROM and pasted it to my new Windows 2000 PC some time ago (remembered to uncheck the Read Only attribute), and it's working fine.  The only problem is this: just before the match introductions, the text in the window reads:

Invalid Data - ACTIONS.DEF

Then the intros overwrite that text and everything runs smoothly.  This happends before every match and I haven't run into any other errors or problems.

Any ideas?  Is this something to worry about?

Thanks!

Strangely enough, my TNM7 has ALWAYS done this. I honestly can't remember the last time I DIDN'T see that. I've never run across any problems, so I've always just assumed it always did that :-P

I didn't have that problem until I moved my TNM7 from Windows 98 PC to Windows XP. I have the problem so it might be something in the 2000/XP setup causing it or something else, not sure. ACTIONS.DEF I believe is your moves file isn't it?

Could be. *OR* it could be because the file was moved to a new DIR. I really can't say for sure, as I've been running 2k/xp for over 2 years now and DON'T plan on reinstalling TNM ;->

Olli? Care to clarify? :->

Actually, I've run across this one myself recently and I will definitely address the problem in some sort of an OS-specific bugfix.

However, it is absolutely insignificant because it's just an internal warning that the ACTIONS.DEF form couldn't be parsed correctly.

Again, I'll look into it. Thank you !

Just because I haven't contributed anything over the past weeks, I've been living with this error code for a few years now but all works fine....WHATEVER (a la Liam Lynch) ;D
