Further problems with visualizer

JazzPosted on 12/04/05 at 03:10:36

Hi there.

I'm finding that the visualizer is not recognizing a small number of pictures that I've assigned to tag teams in the visualizer wizard. Instead it shows individual pictures of the 2 wrestlers. Three of the pictures concerned were Bitmap images. I've changed them to jpegs, deleted the entires from index.dat and allocated the jpegs. However the visualizer still doesn't like them.

Also pictures of stables are still vanishing without trace when I assign them to stables in the vizualizer wizard.

Any suggestions?

Oooooh... I could be wrong here but I think monkeying with INDEX.DAT will screw stuff up pretty good, so that's probably your problem. My suggestion would be to delete INDEX.DAT and then run Visualizer and totally reassign all your images again. Once in awhile, for an as-yet-undetermined reason, INDEX.DAT can get corrupted and people not showing up and/or images de-assigning themselves is a symptom. I can't help but wonder if messing with INDEX.DAT is the source of the problem. Or I could be totally wrong, too...!

Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't think this is the case. If index.dat gets screwed up, there will be at least one blank line and some wrestler names will start with small letters - and a whole bunch of pictures will deassign themselves. This can happen when you delete an entry from index.dat - sometimes a blank line will remain, which needs to be deleted.

Any other suggestions?

Only other thing I can think of is changing the size/format again- mebee it doesn't like the compression level of your JPEGs... I don't know for sure. Good luck, either way, and if you do figure it out, post the results for the rest of us in case it ever happens to anybody else! Thanks!
