Error 2
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 05/16/04 at 17:18:07 I tried to make a new gimmick match and I got "Error 2 at pgm-ctr: 35176" Same thing happens when I try to edit a gimmick match. I feel this may be due to me importing some gimmick matches recently but ive deleted those and i still get the error. any help would be great. P.S. - I HAVE used the diag and it gave me an all clear check on the databases and circuits. |
phudjie | Posted on 05/17/04 at 12:40:26 .....have you used the diagnostic tool plug-in? |
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 05/18/04 at 14:45:06 I've tried to delete and then reinstall and I still get the error. But now I feel it may due to some foreign objects I imported that I downloaded from another website. Can someone (Oliver) take a look at my files and give me an idea as to what is going wrong? |
Ironwolfe | Posted on 05/25/04 at 04:16:58 I'm bumping into this same problem both in attempting to add a new gimmick match and editing an existing one. The matches can be accessed during a card run, it's just the attempt to add or edit that seems to create this particular error. Just ran the diagnostic and it came up clean. I've debated deleting all of the gimmick matches, but I really, really, don't wanta do that as it means exporting each of them separately or recreating each of them, assuming it works. This isn't a crucial matter for me, but certainly a confounding one. |
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 05/25/04 at 04:33:59 what gimmick matches did you import from other websites? trying to see if your problems are related to mine based on gimmick match imports |
Ironwolfe | Posted on 05/25/04 at 04:48:07 Boy oh boy...tough question because I haven't imported new gimmicks for probably over a year. Most of the ones I did pick up were off TNM or the TNM Warehouse (I don't think it's around anymore?) and the TNM Basement. Best I can do really is give you a list of the gimmick matches I do have. Maybe a comparison to your own might come up with some ringers. Anyway, not sure what is from where, and what is original TNM, but here's the list: 25,000 Volt Exploding Wooden Board Match Badstreet Match Barbed Wire Baseball Bat on a Pole Match Barbed Wire Board Match Barbed Wire Brick Match Barbed Wire Broken Glass Death Match Barbed Wire Chain Match Barbed Wire Lightbulbs Death Match Barbed Wire Match Barbed Wire Thumbtack Baseball Bat Match Baseball Bat Match Baseball Bat Thumbtack Match Basebrawl Match Bed of Nails Match Bed of Thumbtacks Match Beer Bottle Match Blade Glove Match Blade Knuckles Match Boot Camp Match Bootcamp Match Branding Iron Match Brass Knuckles Match Brass Knux On A Pole Match Buried Alive Match Cannibal Match Carson City Silver Dollar Match Casket Match Cement Overcoat Match Chain Match Chamber of Horrors Match Chicago Street Fight Coal Miner's Glove Match Country Whippin' Match Cross Match Dog Collar Match Dog Collar Table Match Dumpster Match Electric Chair Match Electric Cross Electric Fence Match Epaulet Match Everglades Death Match Exploding Barbed Wire Board Match Extreme Death Match Fight It Out Match First Blood Match Flamecage Flaming Barbed Wire Baseball Bat Match Flaming Baseball Bat Match Flaming Casket Match Flogging Pole Freezer Match Garbage Can Match Glass Death Match Hammer Match Hangman Match Hospital Elimination Match Indian Strap Match Japanese Torture Match Knockout Ladder Match Las Vegas Death Match Lead Pipe Match Leather Strap Match Mexican Death Match Mob Informant Match Night Stick Match Outhouse Match Philadelphia Street Fight Pirhana Death Match Pool Death Match Razor Blade Match Russian Chain Match Salem's Memory Samoan Firestones Match San Francisco Death Match Scarlet Death Vat Match Scorpion Death Match Singapore Cane Match Singapore Cane Survival Match Slop Match Spidernet Glass Death Match Spidernet Trap Death Match Stairway to Hell Match Strap Match Stretcher Match Table Match Taipei Death Match Take a Seat Match Taped Fist Match TASER Match Tennis Racket Match Texas Bull-Rope Match Texas Death Match Ultimate Survival Death Match Ultimate Weapon Death Match White Castle of Fear Strap Match |
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 05/25/04 at 05:37:02 Yea it's not going to help much since i've deleted some of my gimmicks and some of my foreign objects hoping to get rid of whatever quirks are plaguing me. |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 05/26/04 at 17:59:44 based on some research an error 2 has something to do with invalid data types, which Oliver says should not be able to happen. My guess is that you will want to email him personally to get to the bottom of this one. |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 05/29/04 at 20:24:42 Absolutely. If you ZIP up your TNM 7 SE folder and send it my way, I'll try to duplicate the problem and will get you up to speed again ASAP. Thanks! |
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 05/30/04 at 23:37:01 i sent you the zip file thx alot |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 05/31/04 at 13:30:20 No trace of it yet. Did you send it to copp@hexacon.de or copp@tnm7.com? |
NormanTharxFan | Posted on 05/31/04 at 15:30:15 I'm getting the same problem, damn my limited e-mail space |

Oliver Copp | Posted on 06/01/04 at 21:23:07 I can confirm receiving your TNM. I'll get to it tonight. |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 06/01/04 at 21:26:59 Shaun - your TNM works fine here... no error 2s or anything like that. What OS are you on? |
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 06/02/04 at 00:50:00 Windows 98SE |
Ironwolfe | Posted on 06/02/04 at 02:28:24 I'm also on 98SE. One very stupid question: the entire program file for my TNM7 is showing as around 24 MB (4MB of that are in the media file, and another 4 are in the backup file). Does that sound right? (I can ZIP that down to around 5MB) Second, less stupid question - I've got a TNM7 folder in which I updated to the TNM7 SE. I've also got a TNM7SE folder (can't for the life of me remember if I installed that separately when I bought the SE (probabl did, though). I seriously doubt that it could be causing problems, but might it? |
Ironwolfe | Posted on 06/02/04 at 02:38:25 I just installed it on my Windows 2000 machine and it works fine there. |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 06/02/04 at 14:36:45 Is anybody who is getting this error on a machine OTHER THAN a Win98(SE) one? |
Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 06/04/04 at 18:20:46 Just checked it on my XP Machine. Seems to be working fine for me, but before I got this computer I was running Win98 SE and it gave me the error every time I tried to edit or create new gimmick matches. I'd do a bit more checking for you, but sadly that machine's motherboard went kaput, so it isn't possible. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 06/05/04 at 13:23:14 Maybe I'll have to whip 98SE on one of the computers here to find out more. Thanks a lot for the info! |
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 06/09/04 at 00:46:58 so have we determined yet whether this is an isolated problem among 98SE users? |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 06/09/04 at 09:13:51 Yes, it is. There is no workaround yet, though, since this most definitely is a bug in Win98's DOS shell. I'm currently testing and shifting replacement code that won't trigger that error on Win98SE boxes. BTW, it only happens on faily few of them. Several users have e-mailed me that it works fine on 98SE for them. |
Ironwolfe | Posted on 06/09/04 at 14:46:04 Well, it's nice to be one of the few...the proud...uh...the uhm, outdated ;). Thanks, Oliver. I don't dare try to load 2000 or XP on this particular machine (only a 350) but I suspect I'll just move my TNM over to the 2000. |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 06/10/04 at 09:36:50 I'm sorry not to be able to give a better solution at the moment. Rest assured, though, that I'm working on it to help you guys get back into the flow. |
