Sad at missing so many levels.

Post by Jacks13 » Tue Jul 11, 2006 5:24 pm

I have a problem with any custom stuff. I can't play any advanced levels. Mette has tried to help and I thank her. Even Patrick has given up on me. All seems to be as it should, sadly I still can't play them. I would like to thank Kaz. A star, sent me the levels without custom textures. I appreciate all level makers, just sorry I can't play them... :(

Jacks, were you able to download the patch that allows you to play the advanced labeled levels? It just puts in a default background and texture.
If you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you have to wake up and pay attention.

Thanks Amy, yes I have tried that. I have, on Patricks advice, downloaded the latest driver up-dates for my graphics card. I have never been very good with zip files. However, I havn't had a problem with anyone who has sent multiple levels in a zip file, like Guy. That worked ok. I was wondering if anyone on the forum had another idea or suggestion, or even had the same problem. As it is, you get to know who posts levels with custom stuff, even if it dosn't say advanced. I have to avoid them. I can't even get the lush texture, which I believe came with the patch that you mentioned. Never mind, some levels come without this problem, sadly not many. Thanks for trying to help.

Yeah advanced levels don't work for me as well, among other things. Tis I keep level playing to a minimum, and put my all into making levels.

Are you sure you are playing with the platinum upgrade installed? I remember a few people thought it had installed but it had not. When you load the game it will say platinum edition on the loader if the upgrade installed. Another problem some people had in the past with custom content was that their unzip folder created double folders and this makes the material not available to the level. Each custom texture should be in it's own folder (13 jpegs in one folder) and that folder has to be in the Return to Wonderland Deluxe directory inside the CustomTextures folder.

Thanks Drushing, yes it is the right edition. I followed Mettes tutorial and conveyed what I had to her. All seems to be in place. Perhaps an extension to the Wonderland puzzles !!!
Deetster....thank heavens you make levels without custom stuff !!! I know I can rely on one of your levels to be playable, even if I can't complete it, I will keep going back and tryng. Just completed level 53...great fun. My favourite, I think, was Sacred Snowmen.
Thank you all for trying to help.........back to the drawing board I think :(

Jacks, I had a problem awhile back, where I couldn't get the game to load at all, I too pm'd patrick & he went over all the same stuff with me as it appears he did with you. I finally found the problem :oops: :oops: , someone had changed the color settings on my control panel and it didn't match the game display, they are now both set at 24bit and everythings groovy :D I don't know if this could corect your problem or not, but, hey it's worth a try. :D

Result !!!!!! :D :D :D
I just thought I would try the patch again. My pc was showing 300(1). Now I have 301 and it has made all the difference. I have had to juggle things around a bit, but I can now play advanced levels....YIPPEE !!!!!!
I thank everyone for their helpful comments. It was Drushing that made me check out the patch again, so a HUGE thanks to you Drushing.

Sonic, I have played your levels too and thank you.
Regarding my last post, although I could play advanced levels, I wasn't getting any different textures etc. I thought this a bit strange. I remembered what Amy said about default textures. I also read some posts in refference to this. I think, again, it was Amy that suggested that all custom stuff be in RWD folder. Well, mine are all over the place..... :oops: . I just tested something tonight and HEY PRESTO !!!!!! These textures are awesome !!!! Had to go over all the levels I have played just to see what they should look like. My hat is off to all you people. I shall still continue to play levels without custom stuff, so thank you to you people also.
Can't tell you what a happy bunny I am !!!! :P :P :P :P :P
