SC4 Mapper problems

[c2s1 3]

Help,

I have a problem in sc4 mapper. I install a mapper correctly but when I click the application, it does not shown up or not working, trying clicking several times but still, it's not working. I think it is an error, look a this strange code:

[code]Traceback (most recent call last): File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1006, in OnClose File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1009, in ShowMain File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 278, in __init__ UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-4: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape Traceback (most recent call last): File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1006, in OnClose File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 1009, in ShowMain File "SC4MapApp.pyo", line 278, in __init__ UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-4: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape[/code]

Is this is a real error? I'm using windows vista home basic.

Hello, C2s1.

To date, the best information I can give people having problems with SC4Terraformer and SC4Mapper running under Microsoft Vista is as follows:

1) MOST IMPORTANT!! Make sure you have read through the entire SC4Terraformer and SC4Mapper ReadMe files.

2) For SC4Terraformer, make sure you have the correct version of DirectX installed. It MUST BE version 9.0c.

The entire redistribution packaage can be downloaded from Microsoft.com.

The DirectX 9.0c Runtime files can be downloaded from Tracker.5STar-Network.com.

You DO NOT NEED DirectX for SC4Mapper.

3) You may also need MSVCP71.DLL for SC4Terraformer. You MUST have it for SC4Mapper.

4) Make sure your Microsoft .NET files are up-to-date.

5) There is the possibility that you may be a "victim" of a unicode coding issue with SC4Terraformer and SC4Mapper working under Microsoft Vista. I don't have details on this issue other than wouanagaine has commented that to fix it will require a rewrite of the SC4Terraformer applications. Please be aware that he no longer has his source files. They were on his laptop that was stolen.

6) You might check the NHP Place forum or the MAPping Tutorials forum on SC4Devotion to see if there is any further information.

Beyond the above suggestions, I am at a loss as to what else to have you try.

Good luck.

Regards,

Vandy

SC4 Mapper does not work properly under Windows Vista or 7, but you can use SC4 Terraformer instead.
