Visualizer stopped visualizing.

Mr_BicepsPosted on 05/04/04 at 00:54:12

Well, I ran about 25-30 cards successfully with the visualizer working perfectly.

But for the last 3 cards, I only get the empty blue boxes for EVERY wrestler. The pictures always used to be there. I opened visualizer and although some of the wrestlers were no longer assigned pictures anymore, the majority of the wrestlers in my circuit were assigned pictures. What could have went wrong?

I ran TNMDIAG, but I don't think that helps visualizer.

Well, the tag team pictures still work. But the singles wrestlers and manager pictures still don't work.

It would be best if you zipped up your TNM 7 SE folder and sent it to copp@hexacon.de. RKL had a similar problem, and I'd like to help.

Thanks!

Alright. It has been zipped and sent your way.

I've had a problem with this recently... I have images in my media folder & they are assigned but when i run a card i get blue boxes (at least 1 per match) when i go back into the visualizer it has a bunch of the images i had just previously assigned now unassigned....


When I click on Save Changes I get a windows error message that says:

How did this happen & how can it be fixed?

Good question. Please send me your INDEX.DAT from the MEDIA folder.
JustinPosted on 11/03/04 at 14:06:48

Oliver,
I sent the files you wanted for this & the themes problem i'm having but haven't heard back from you yet

I know your busy but did I at least send the right ones?
Oliver CoppPosted on 11/03/04 at 21:04:23

I got the INDEX.DAT file and will be going over it tonight when I get home.

This is what's happening to me in the other thread- what was the outcome here? Thanks!
Oliver CoppPosted on 02/13/05 at 09:39:34

The outcome was that I sent a reply stating it looked like there had been some manual editing of the file which corrupted it.

Explanation: lines are always in pairs. The first line contains the entity's name with proper capitalization, the second contains a lower-case version of the file names associated with the entity.

The giveaway was that after Steven Richards, the wrestler names all of a sudden were lower-case only and in improper line numbers (Tajiri had one line only and then it went to hell from there) - which the program itself *only* does for image names.

I'd love to take a look at your INDEX.DAT. Maybe I can find what's wrong.

SO what's doing it with me do you suppose? I have never _ever_ tinkered with the data manually. Everything has been through the Visualizer program... I saved my Index.dat elsewhere, deleted it, then reassigned all my images and everything seems to be working now, for the moment, but it was a good 30-50 cards from when I got visualizer that it started causing malfunctions...
Oliver CoppPosted on 02/13/05 at 12:36:54

Right now, it would be best if I got your TNM. I want to write a program that can be used in such cases locally on the users' PCs that'll reconstruct at least 90% of the file.

The big problem here is that I can't explain how this'd happen without manual editing.

The Image Wizard reads the file in one big swoop and breaks the entries down two lines at a line (one record).

It also writes them to disk again in one swoop.

What is characteristic in instances when I've seen this happen is that there was a single empty line at some point in the INDEX.DAT file. Since the plugin only writes lines two at a time, it physically is unable to have caused this. However, if the file is opened for instance in Notepad and then saved and closed without any physical changes having been made, an empty line is added to the end of the file. That's the thing.
