GMF issues

[Vertigo]

So I opened up a GMF and replaced the map file for a component, then going back in game when I try to select the component the game crashes

Is it something to do with re-complying that I need to do, or something else?

Thanks

DSL or Stock?

[Vertigo]

Stock, although I doubt that will have any affect on the matter

[GarvinTheGreat]

Do you have any Patches?

Silly question, but the map file the gmf is pointing to, is it named right?

Are you ready to rock?

Is it a laptop? I know laptops can be kinda slow and are buggyer then Desktops.

[Mr. AS]

Did you forget to recompile the GMF?

Checked that, twice :P

Did you forget to recompile the GMF?

Since I never used a program to de-compile it, nope, but as I said I assume it is something to do with that, I just need pointing in the right direction

That made just as much sense as: Are you in Europe? Because RA2 tends to work worse there.

If I knew how I would -1 you for this horrible horrible help.

You need repping abilities, and so I have done so on you're behalf

So, you never decompiled it in the first place? And have never recompiled it?

Just right-clicked, "Edit in Notepad++", and then saved it

[Conraaa]

Whenever I just right click edit a non-decompiled gmf. I just get gibberish.
Only thing I can think of if you can open it up and get actual text is to try and compile it.

[Mr. AS]

You HAVE to decompile it with a GMF decompiler program, then recompile it when you're done. Editing with out decompiling otherwise just gives gibberish and give you a corrupted file when you save.
I prefer FireBeetle's GMF compiler: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/GMFCompiler_FB.zip

[Conraaa]

I would suggest Dummy's compiler fixed by Megabyte but that hates wheels and having 2 people suggest different ones would probably confuse things.

Okay, so I select the gmf file for both source and destination and select compile, press "compile", and then I get this:

Run-time error '62':

Input past end of file

What am I doing wrong now? :P

Did you you didn't compile it into the same folder as the edited GMF, did you?

[Conraaa]

Yeah, I think that .gmf file is pretty far gone.

My suggestion is start again with a clean .gmf, plug the clean .gmf file in and decompile it, work in it using notepad++, compile it using the compiler and then put it back in Ra2.
