SoulSeekkor's TQ Defiler.NET News/Requests

[Selway]

Thank you for the reply. I have learned some things since. First, error 75 from a vista machine pretty much means that the Usser account control is blocking defiler's ability to mod the program.

Now, to fix that, you have to run it as an admin. OK, I did that. However, then I get the whole, ocx problems. Apparently, you can unregister these files and then re-reregister them to make it work. Im a computer noob and I cant seem to get that done.

I did, however, finally figure out how to get it to run properly. I found out how to turn off UAC. Now it works fine without running it as an admin. This isnt exactly a good thing because one usually would want the uac on. At any rate, its working now.

For anybody who wants to know how to disable your UAC controle;

Go to Control Panel
Type in UAC in the search field and hit enter
Click on "Turn UAC on and off"
Turn it off.
Do the same to turn it back on again.
I dont advice leaving this off all the time. Only when you want to run defiler.
F'ing Vista...

Thank you sooo much. Now I can use defiler.

Just a quick status note, with D3 announced I've had an itch for some action RPG (plus a previous itch to get back to some programming again and that nagging thing called a conscience telling me to finish that Defiler.NET already!). I plan to get back on here and try to catch up on posts, pms, and emails if possible and get back to finishing the Defiler.NET, either way I should be back and available again.

P.S. I haven't a clue how many pages I've missed just in this thread, might take me awhile. :P

Hi Soul, the most important thing we need you for is updating the 3.4.2 to work with the Unofficial patch. Luedtke is revising the code itself, building new .exe's and making your work unfortunately useless. We need you to work in the team (just for updating the 3.4.2 when needed), on top of making the .NET version. Is it possible?

Welcome back soul.

Welcome back and I <3 your program :P.

I just realized this when I hopped on and finally checked my pms lastnight...most likely there won't be an update to 3.4.2, but the work done to add a new game version (more or less) to the Defiler will be incorporated into the .NET along with all the other mods since the mod engine still has to be written and it'll be easier to add those in at the same time. The new locations might be added for a few of the more popular mods at a later time, but I'm not sure...3.4.2 was supposed to be the final version, at least done in VB6. At the very least this unofficial patch will force me into continuing work to get the Defiler.NET finished.

@Popsthegreat and F4rmerbob

Thanks! Good to be back.

Unfortunately I really don't know how the Defiler works with Steam, I don't have a copy of the game on Steam to test with (and as I already have D2D versions and DVD versions of TQ/IT I'm not paying for another, lol) and can't really check to see what's happening when using various features like that.

I do too, what were you doing when that happened? Same goes to I_Raps.

What do you have, just Titan Quest and no expansion? If so I can detail the process needed to fix that.

I only get that "Error #6" when my connection isn't stable/working if it's any help...

Actually that's a very big help! Does it only occur with the Defiler.NET, 3.4.2, or both do you know?

Sounds like an easy enough error to get rid of I think, seems to be when my host may be down (and the Defiler cannot access the latest news/version) or vice versa and YOU are down (or nearly so).
