TRAPPED IN THEATER SELECTION SCREEN. PLEASE HELP!!!
-
Problem in Win 7 x64:
1 From main menu, click Isreal theater, then Ok. Return to main menu. Exit game.
2 Restart game and it will start in Israel theater. From main menu/Theater pick Korea (KTO), then ok, then exit game.
3 Restart game and see bug that it is still in Isreal theater.The bug is caused by the “curTheater” entry in “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.32” being set to
“Korea” with no trailing zero. “4B 00 6F 00 72 00 65 00 61 00” in unicode binary.It should be set to “Korea” WITH a trailing zero (end of string marker): “4B 00 6F 00 72 00 65 00 61 00 00 00” (unicode binary).
The player can patch this by entering “Korea” into the “curTheater” field in RegEdit. RegEdit will add the invisible zero marker. The game will now start in the Korean theater as expected.
BMS/ITO authors can fix the bug better now that it is known what the problem is.
Cheers
Clark@RAM, thanks for the head ups email
@Klarkkaus thanks for th info.I don’t think that we are having the same problem.
When I change the theater via curTheater registry entra I have no problem at all, but when I try to change theaters via the UI BMS completely freezes.
It is not like you that you think that the theater has been changed and when BMS is started again you find yourself again in the previous theater.
When I try to change to any addon theater (it does not happen with the stock ones) BMS stops working completely. i don´t even get an error message. It just freezes and I have to call up the process explorer and kill the BMS process.
Anyway I will check this korea zeroes issue. I have nothing to loose

Sorry for pumping up this Topic.
First try Launching your Desktop icon. Then launch the BMS Editor.
Up to go to File>Select Theater and see if you can change it that way.

What theaters do you have installed?

In your BMS registry entry, in the right hand box, double click on curTheater and the variable string box will appear.
It has Balkans, Type in Korea KTO and click ok.
Exit your registry and launch BMS and see what happens.
Your theater.lst file entry: Add-On Korea TvT\Terrdata\theaterdefinition-v3.61\Korea_TvT_v3.61.tdf, is correct!!
Arty must not be familiar with something, NO, say it isn’t so!!! :rolleyes:

Tried it yesterday… BMS starts up normaly with active KTO Theater.
So far so good, but still not able to switch the Theater to another than the stock-ones -
Well, something’s wrong.
So I assume from your previous posts that the only other add on theater you have is Balkans, yes?
If so, change the registry curTheater to Balkans and see if that’s where you’re at.

Got some new insights.
Switching to Ostsee works fine.I looks more and more like a Display/Graphics issue.
After attempting to switch the Theater ,normally the screen turns to black for a short while before the Mainscreen of the new Theater will be displayed.
For Balkans and Ikaros the Graphic will not change, it looks like the Program is frozen,but Sound is still there.Even when moving the Mouse cursor i get the typical sound when the Cursor hits a hotspot.
As well i´m able to close the programm by clicking on the right (but invisible) SpotIt seems the graphic from the Balkan/ Ikaros Theater can not be displayed.
Strange……:shock:

Can you show a picture of the folder structure within your BMS folder?
Somethings not right and I think that may be it!?

instead of
