Cave Editor was my original go-to up until it refused to actually save my work upon closing/re-opening... Asked in another thread about it but didn't get answers concerning CE itself.

If you're still interested in using CE, one thing you can try is changing the user account and control settings. To do this, go to Start -> control panel -> type "uac", and select "Change user account and control settings", and drag the slider to the extreme of "never notify." Then save your settings and see if that fixes it. I'm assuming you've already tried removing read-only from the folder of your mod.

Actually good news: I tried an older version of CE and it saves just fine. For now it's what I'll stick to.

diph.php


However, in the future I may try what you said if I want to import/export individual map or sprite data (not sure what other differences there are between Old and 99d).

Great, now the only thing left is the facepic/item graphic feature to be built into the TSC thingy (Like CE).

And a waffle button.

Replaced the .jar with the executable in the 0413 folder.

Still didn't work for me. Tried it, then tried it after upadating my Java to 7 u-71, then after uninstalling the older versions, then even after disabling UAC and restarting. Same thing every single time, with either file.

It's a shame, I was really hoping to have an editor that wasn't apparently as restrictive as CE (commands to Add/Copy/Delete new tile/spritesets or backgrounds aren't clickable despite read-only disabled. Only Edit works). Don't know why my PC is being so Java-racist right now.

I really wish I could help you, but I just don't know what causes this problem. And I can't reproduce it on my side, obviously.. so it's difficult.

It's alright, I'm still appreciative of you and the others here giving advice at all. I'll get as far as I can with what I got, just gotta hope I don't run into a bug in CE '95 for now.

Hiya. Please excuse me if I'm being terribru at computers, but I've been having some difficulty getting Booster's Lab to run.

I had a more elaborate explanation as to what happened and what I did, but it was deleted for stupid reasons and I'm already surprisingly angry due to unrelated events and blah I just don't want to retype it sorry. Long story short, I had the same error that Moon did earlier, fiddled with stuffs, realized the error was different now, reinstalled Java, made sure that both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions had a Prefs key, tried some more, reached a breaking point and now here I am with error code to share from log.0.

Do you have any insights?...

Whether you do or not, I'm going to go play Mystic Ark to cool down because goodness gracious these feelings are uncommon to me and can't possibly be healthy.

Whenever I use the .exe that replaces the .jar, it creates a file, specifically log.0.lck, deletes it a second later, and does nothing else. I have all the necessary files in the their directories, but nothing so far has worked at all. I tried launch4j, but that didn't work either, unless I'm doing something wrong there. I also tried a few other .jar to .exe programs, but none worked in one way or another. I have the latest version of Java x64, I think v8 with update 31. Do I need x86 installed as well to run 32 bit Java programs?

Is there a specific set of instructions to follow for installing BL that works across most Windows computers? And are there any programs other than Java I need in order just to install BL?

Thanks.
Sorry for all the questions and if it's a super easy fix that I just missed. :p

I think there is a bug in the latest version that happens if you never ran an older version before
I'll post a fix soon

New request:



A reload bitmaps option, so I can see my graphical changes in the editor without closing/reopening the program.

oops, sorry
and yeah, that's something I plan on also. As a temporary workaround, Load Last will throw out any cached images but make sure you save everything first otherwise you'll be sad

the latest update was just kind of a quick addon to the hackinator mostly

v0.4.1.4. won't load my .exe no matter what I do, I tried to replace it with a different .exe to no avail. I tried the earlier v0.4.0.1. and it worked.
