Title: Quake II corrupted startup options?
Post by: redrumloa on August 16, 2004, 10:53:46 PM

Hmm, odd. On a fresh HD install w/ OS3.9, W3d, P96 etc everything works tops with one exception. The Quake II startup menu is corrupted. The game plays fine, but tweaking is not completely possible.

Ideas?

hum,


0) Try it without p96 , first.
1) Make a back up.(when you do  get the settings fixed)

2) how are you editing the config file?  with ed?
Are you saving it as a .txt file?
3) filetypes correct?

I don't think Quake II will run on AGA:-(

I have a second HD with the exact same setup AFAIK, and don't have this problem. I tried copying DLL and .wizard etc and no help, it must be my OS3.9 install somehow :-?

No, Q2 (from Hyperion) has a GUI preference window at startup. The selectors are all corrupted. A class act problem maybe?

why? The engine can work with 256 colours. Select a 320x240 screenmode and that's all. Of course, disable MiniGL in the options to make it work...

If the GUI isn't appearing correctly you have a big problem... are you sure you have set up the WarpOS environment variables correctly?
