No logo image, POL.EXE log, scripts not executing

[evangeline]

Well, here it goes.

I stumbled across this tool today on archbell (have not been checking lately as there has been little action, and with the SDK not being released, the Plugin Dev. thread was one of the last places I typically look.

-I installed the plugin using the .bat
-Rec'd the dialog that registers the DLLs
-Loaded up FFXI
-"load Lunar"

At this moment, a new window pops up with the title:

"C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\....blahblah...\pol.exe"

Well, I sure wasn't expecting that... The window is titled with the POL process... hmm. What happens if I click [X]? Lol... Yep. Bam. FFXI gone.
Well, I wasn't expecting that at all I suppose.

Also to be mentioned, when loaded, along with this mystery window/log using the pol.exe title, the Logo that is suppsoed to fade in/out... half did it's job.

I got a black box (described in other posts) without the actual image. (Note: the goblin script does not load the white boxes the other person mentioned earlier.)

Black box, nice fade in, nice fade out.

Correct text appears in windower console.

Okay-- well, it seems to be working... Kind of.

So, I decide "well, lets see what these demo scripts do"

.Lunar Load Goblins.lua

Tried various capitalizations, etc. With/without the file extension -- nothing happened.

The windower console treated it as if I had type "blahblahblah" and pressed enter. Nothing happens, and it shoots to the next line.

Tried all of the scripts avail, and to no avail (hoo punny), I have nothing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

=edit: fixed file names.

Ok, give it a try with an older version of Lunar. This is the previous build before the current one. I have gotten reports of problems with the latest build similar to the ones you are having.

www.lucidsoft.org/~toast/Lunar/Builds/0.1.2005.10.30.1649%20ALPHA/Lunar.dll

If you could, please email me the log file that lunar generated. Its called Lunar.log, and it should be in the windower directory. This file contains a complete dump of everything that appears in the debug console. It will help me find the problem. If you PM me, I'll give you an email address you can send it to.

I think it might be an issue with the string conversion stuff I do with file names. Thats really the only thing that would effect both the logo and loading scripts. Do you have any wierd characters like ( ) - [ or ] in your windower path?

Also, the black pol.exe box that pops up is intentional. I left it in so that the log output would be visible to users. Since nobody except me (or maybe starhawk) has any idea what the output means, it was probably not a great idea. Normally the output box is there, but disabled. Pol.exe has one even without the windower or lunar. They turned it off because it wasn't needed. I just turned it back on

C:\Game Utils\Windower 3-21
is my current path

Ill change that and give it a shot.

Nothing really special about the log to be honest... very regular looking. Ill drop it anyway

[TinyTerror]

Nothing special to you

I PM'd you the address to send the log.

Hey when I load lunar I guess I should get the logo, but alll I get is a black box still not that its that important just felt I should post it anyway.

and it seemed better posted here.
