Problem with batch/event files

Berzerker · January 17, 2004, 03:44

For some reason when I get a scenario with an events or batch file, when I double click on it the black box pops up and disappears about a 1/2 second later. Anyone understand why?

You are probably running XP, and consequently need choice.com. I wish I knew where the download was.

Berzerker · January 17, 2004, 04:21

yup, XP. Whats choice.com?

choice.com is a little DOS program that makes multiple-choice menus possible in batch files.

You'll find choice.com in this thread:

Stick it in the same folder as the bat file.

I tried that, the dos prompt comes up now and stays but when I pick a civ to play and load the scenario the game crashes

Can you post a screenshot of the DOS Window and a copy of the batch file? What's the scenario?

I can attach the error report too if that will help

The batch file? Don't know if this will work...Nope, didn't work. Here is the error report

Berzerker · January 17, 2004, 19:45

Is there info in that report I should keep private?

Berzeker, although I'm going to go to the bed and I can't help you until tomorrow, I think that the best you can do is to get all the text files of the scen, zip them, and put them in this thread. When Civ chrased it's related to either the graphics file (that shouldn't have been modified by the bat file) or the text file (that have been modified by the bat file)
