ATMA/GoMule/RWM etc - Help Thread

I'm guessing that it is a problem with locating some of the image files (background.jpg or background2.jpg) used on the character sheet. Make sure that there is a "resources" directory alongside the gomule.jar file and that it is filled with a bunch of .jpg files and such.

Fake edit: Just somewhat-confirmed that this is the problem by running the .jar file without supporting files present. It also issued a number of stack traces before showing the main window.

Is there any site we can upload our flavie reports to share?

[Ladvarian]

From the trade rules.

You can host Flavie reports on Freewebs. Upload the standard.css to get the pretty colours. Screenshots of runes may be hosted on Imageshack.

Do check what kestegs suggested. Also where did you download GoMule from and did you extract the zip entirely into a folder and run GoMule from there? The character you are trying to open is 1.10+ and LoD not classic?

For the privileges part which OS are you using? XP or Win7/vista? If you have Win7/vista, try installing D2 outside the Program Files folder and see if that fixes the error. Install D2 into say C:\Games folder or into your My Documents folder.

Thanks kestegs for the compliment. Your post was helpful as it would help eliminate some of the possibilities that might be the cause.

D2 is installed into my C drive, i have vista, it is extracted fully and i run the jar file and it opens fine, i play 1.13d LoD , i have tried making a new character and trying opening that but that brings the same error, im getting sad now... :'(

missed this with the last post but yes mine does the 'stacks' before the main window too

[Ladvarian]

By C drive where exactly on the C drive is everything located, D2 and GoMule? If you could provide the exact path to make sure where they are located.

The stacks could be because of where you have it installed or located. I'm going to leave those to Oscuro for the moment until I'm sure where you have everything located, see question above.

It should only care about where the files are located in relation to each other. The specific location in the system should not matter.

Twibz, could you take a step back and say exactly how you are launching GoMule? You cannot run it by launching the .jar from within the zip file (this is deceptively easy to do if Windows Explorer handles zip files on your system); you have to extract the contents of the zip file first. If using Explorer to open it, look for an "Extract all files" button after opening it.

Is there anyway of knowing if rwm worked without using runes?

[kestegs]

If you take a screenshot it should go to the runewords folder if done right.

But no worries if you mess it up, just save the runeword you tried to make and open it up in a game once you get it right and it will make the runeword, so there's no real risk.
