F2 Restoration Project and SFall.

Still Mildly Glowing
I've installed restoration project v12 () but when starting a new game it crashes with error "
The instruction at ... referenced memory at ... The memory could not be read from". As i checked the sfall version in rpu_v12 is 4.2.2 while the newest sfall is 4.2.4. So i've overwritten the ddraw.dll in my F2 RP folder with the ddraw from sfall 4.2.4 and the game starts, but i get a red text warning "you have overwritten the rp ddraw.ini file ..." Is it possible to use updated sfall dll with older RP? If so how can i disable that annoying warning?

Thx for help.
 
Mulligun.. Long story short ddraw.ini for RPUv12 is fucked up. it is missing few important lines here and there most notably the line without which you definetely *will* get the annoying red warning sign on the middle of the screen.
I've made a custom one based on RPUv12 but it is intended to work with Mr.Stalin's forked sfall a.k.a.: Sfall eXtended 4.2.4. so if you don't use it grab it from Mr'Stalin's fork and use the ddraw.ini I provided it should be more or less correct. As for the other problem stop spamming posts like ass fuids on a toilet after kefir and sour pickle mix. Try to group your problems and ask similar questions in one thread instead of shitthreading. don't be discouraged that FDO and laclongquan derailed your threads. I expect staff is going to ban la-clong-quan (seemes sort of like quai-gon-jing) for stupidity soon anyways, so Mulli don't try go a similar path;)

Oh yeah don't forget to put in other sfall goodies too. the sfall scripts and sfall.dat and sfall-mods.ini don't forget npcarmor.ini in root folder and npcarmor.int in data\scripts if you plan to use the modern days equivalent of b-team mod. good luck

Any chance of an updated ddraw. ini for V16?

If this was a question to me, than chnaces are rather slim. This RP security feature is way overreacting with recent sfall changes. For RPUv16 I've actually used the one I previously made for RPUv12 and it threw the infamous red sign as well. no changes I've made fixed this. simply put new sfall looks for certain things in toally different sections of ddraw.ini as it was when RP first released. So in order for things to woork they need to be mooved to new sections of ddrw.ini, however dumb and unupdated RP security feature expects theese things to be in old places, thus we get the 'errrroooooaaaarrrrr'. no idea what to do about it besides updating or removig that dumb security feature. This however is beyond my capabilities.

I'm sorry but that's the way it is..
