SEE NEXT PAGE FOR FREEROAM PROBLEM, Thanks.


Hi, I am rather new the modding and I have ran into a problem. When I am in Fable Explorer and try and save my changes and run the game after editing an item texture or loading in a mod I get an error (pic is below). Has anyone else experienced this, or can someone offer a possible solution?

Error:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I was using the New Items Pack v1, and trying to load a recolored Spprentice robe if that has any effect.

Well, it seems to me that you don't have the user privileges to change files in your C Drive. Are you the administrator on your computer? Since graphics.big is located in the Fable folder of your computer, which is in the C Drive, you might have to be an Admin to overwrite the file. But, have you tried clicking "Continue" when that first error window pops up? I've had a similar error message before, and I clicked "Continue", and it worked fine. I'm not sure if this matters, but it seems you're running on Windows Vista. I've had very little experience with Vista, but one of the things I have done on it is try to mod Fable, and it didn't work. So that might also be part of your problem. Sorry for the long-winded post, but I hope that helped.

I am on Vista, sorry for not adding that in up their. But as far as clicking continue I have and all that will happen is I am put back into Fable Explorer and nothing else happens.

I am as far as I know the Admin on my computer, at least I assume that since I am the only one on this computer. I will try taking ownership of the file and see if that helps.

Thanks for the response.

[black.]

Yea, you might want to double check to see if you are the Admin. If you are, as you say, the only account on the computer, then you should be Admin, but hey, you're on Vista, so no one knows... Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean by "taking ownership". Is this something new they added in Vista?

[cv735]

Woo, taking ownership/control of the Fable TLC data file worked great, thanks for the suggestion Black.

As far as taking ownership goes, from what I understand it basically gives you permission to edit files in the C drive, this pic helped explain it to me. Image was posted by JohnDoe at the Fable Mod Scene forums.

Well I'm glad it worked! Have fun modding Fable!

[cv735]

Thanks, I will.

Although itronically enough, I ran into a problem with free roam. When I change the userst file to read FALSE instead of true like it says to in the directions my game loads partway then freezes, any help.

for helping me before to.

[black.]

I'm not sure what file you're talking about...

[cv735]

I was using this guide posted by Albion Knight:

Warning, this is a spoiler!

FreeRoam setup
1. FreeRoam steps
2. Download WinRAR
3. Install WinRAR
4. Down load FreeRoam.rar

5. Extract FreeRoam.exe
6. Run FreeRoam.exe
7. From FreeRoam choose File àOpen

8. Navigate to the Folder that has FinalAlbion.wad
The Default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters\data\Levels

9. Select FinalAlbion.wad and click Open
10. This should bring you back to the FreeRoam application
11. Choose TNG and Lev(Patched) and clip RIP!
12. Next it asks you where to extract the files. Choose the data folder above the levels folder

13. Now move FinalAlbion.wad to you’re My Documents Folder (for safe keeping)
14. Now go to the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters and open userst.ini and change
UseLevelWAD True;àUseLevelWAD False;*
15. Save and close this file and run Fable

Step 14 is what is giving me problems, when I change UseLevelWAD True to UseLevelWAD False my game will only load maybe a fourth of the way before it freezes up.

[black.]

Hmm, I didn't have to do that when I installed FreeRoam. I did everything up to step 13, and it worked fine for me. I'm not sure what you're gaining by continuing past step 13, but I'd suggest not going past that, and seeing if it works.

[cv735]

I will try that tonight, because I got the rest of the steps to work but I can't free roam lol. I am off to work for now but thanks for the help Black. If anyone has an ideas I am more then happy to hear them.

[black.]

No problem, and I hope it works!

[cv735]

Just tried it and it didn't work, its probably something really simple that I did wrong but can't see/remember.

[jwc2200]

Are you talking about FreeRoam not working? Did you rename FinalAlbion.wad? Do you have the folder ....data/levels/FinalAlbion ?

[cv735]

Yea, Free Roam isn't working for me.

I have re-named FinalAlbion.wad and I also moved it.

No, inside my levels folder I have:
FinalAlbion.bwd
FinalAlbion.gtg
FinalAlbion.qst
FinalAlbion.wld
FinalAlbion_RT.stb
GlobalQuests.qst
GuildExterior.tng

I take it there should be a FinalAlbion folder?
