Step-by-step instructions for editing ICC with Magpie

[NikhilN]

yup...I tried doing everything after it happen to me but in the end I had to re install the game...or replace the file with the back up file...so save your self time and re install it or replace the file with the back up

 

[DJellett]

Thanks heaps for your help Nikhil....



I'll keep you posted on what happens...

 

[DJellett]

Once I've re-installed, will I need to download Magpe etc. again?

 

[DJellett]

Aaarrrrrggggghhhh....!!!!!

The Magpie database stuff has kept the changes I made before...

WHAT DO I DO

 

[superkingdave]

Just do the decrypt phase again and it should sort itself - youve still got the 'old' decrypted files so you need to overwrite it with the new one

 

[DJellett]

I did - it still has the old files, even when I did all the decrypt again...

What am I doing wrong?

 

[DJellett]

Also, in Magpie, I can't search even for players I know that are there.

When I "Open" in Magpie, it comes up with - '.' is not a valid integer value

AND I cant save changes in magpie as well.

 

[DJellett]

Please help me...

PS. Thanks to everyone who has already helped me... Great stuff guys...

Is there any reason for this?

 

[NikhilN]

install the game again...maybe at a new location...install magpie again as well

 

[DJellett]

I've done that Nikhil, although NOT in a different location, I'll try it...

BUT I've found lots of faults in Magpie, probably not in the program itself but maybe in my files.

Have a look at these pictures...

 

[DJellett]

Why would it do all of that?

 

[DJellett]

OK so I've re-installed in a new location, but now when I start Magpie and click on "Open", it comes with an error box saying "File not Found"

:s

 

[NikhilN]

did you change the location of magpie?

 

[DJellett]

It's in C:/ProgramFiles/EmpireInteractive/ICC2001

Where should I put it?

i think you should download the correct databases. i saw it in the icc editing thread, not sure which page. something like that happened to me and i downloaded those databases and used them.

hope this helps

where you installed the game for the 2nd time I thought you said you put it in a new location

Right, simple solution. No reinstalls necessary.

Download these two files:
http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~nsp201/dataT.db
http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~nsp201/dataP.db

Then proceed from the decryption stage onwards.

 

[DJellett]

Shall I delete the old dataT and dataP files Neil?

 

[Neil Pickup]

What do you think? You've totally screwed up the old ones...

Come on, Dylan, initiative...
