Problem with making a full conversion mod - Koopa Rs07 - 03-02-2016

I'm nearly done, but when I launch "The Black Eagle Caste Ch01.bat", the command prompt flashes and closes out fast. When I looked at what command prompt was saying, it said "Launcher.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

If anyone is willing to help then pm me asap and I could screen share it on skype.

Or if it's a more simplistic problem than I thought, you can put reply in the thread.

You must run the batch file from the same folder as where the launcher is located, OR you must add
Code:
..\Launcher.exe
to go up one level. Add more if necessary.

Well I typed in the ..\ and now I get this problem.

And when I try to run the .bat file in the redist folder where the launcher is, the menu launching screen pops up like this..

And when I click where the play button would be, this error window pops up.

Your config lines aren't pointing to your files properly. You need them to point to
Code:
Game = "The Black Eagle Castle Ch01/mod_config/game.cfg"

They won't count that first folder automatically.

PS: The issue is no longer the launcher bat, but your configs.

It works now. I simply made a typo with the word "castle". I put "caste"... Oh well.

Edit: But I have a new problem unfortunately. When I tried to change the main_settings.cfg file in documents to make it have developer mode it has an error now, every time I try to run the .bat file.

This is what the laucher.log said about error:

Does that lang actually exist, or is the game just assuming it exists? also if it does did you make sure to copy paste in the stuff for the launcher from the main game lang? been a while since I last looked at a full conversion for amnesia, but I do remember that the blanks on launcher simply have to do with the lang file not having the launcher text in it, or outright failing to load.

Check the hpl.log. A black box crash will give you a reason there.

How's your resources.cfg?

You showed the lang in the video, but could you do it here in text?

And if you're using custom fonts, I know they can easily crash the game if done wrong.
