TRAPPED IN THEATER SELECTION SCREEN. PLEASE HELP!!!

@RAM22:
Does Balkans show up in the Theater select box??
RAM22
Yes it does with the picture and the description. But when I click OK to change to it, it does nothing, BMS locks and I have to kill the process with process explorer.
I go to watch the EURO2012 final so I´ll be away until tomorrow.

Okay. I have a couple ideas of why your having issues. We can talk tomorrow.

Disable UAC if it’s active on your account….
Run BMS and it’s installer as admin.

:shock::shock:I could have SWORN I just saw Khronik!!!:shock::shock:

jcenzano: delete BMS and EVERYTHING related to it. Then Run a reg-cleaner like AML-regcleaner. It helped me, so i thought it could help you to.
By the way, your avatar. Is it F16 combatpilot for c64?
Best of luck, and congrats on the EM:drink:

I’ll be away from BMS computer a couple of days, so I will try when Im back and I will report.
Problem is that I am not very confident on regcleaners. last time i used one it severely damaged my OS install and I ended up having to reinstall windows (and I hate it!)
Avatar is indeed F-16 combat pilot, but the amiga version which is the one I owned (actually I still have it with the orinial box and everything) I spent so much time and had so much fun with that game dreaming I was flying (I was 16 back then).
I presume your congrats are about football… thank you. IMHO your team deserved better

Tried those two things. No luck. Still unable to switch to any “non-stock” theater.

Not sure what’s up.
Try comparing your add-on folder structure and theater.lst to mine.

Ramsay, I believe you’re on the right track… it may be folder structure and where the add-ons are directed to…

This is mine.
I think it is identical to yours.
I am beginning to lose hope…

jcenzano,
First, create a folder on your desktop and name it, uhhhh, jcenzano, yeah that’s good, haha.
Then go o into your x:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition folder and copy your theater.lst file and place it in that folder you created on the desktop.
Next, go into your x:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Israel\theaterdefinition folder and copy the it-bms.TDF and paste it also into the folder on the desktop.
Now, zip the file and send it to my email. I will PM you my email address.

Hi all,
jcenzano have an mp. -
Take a look at:
C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
See if you can find any Falcon 4 / BMS files in there, or under Program Files (x86) in the path above.
If so, you have written to virtualstore and possibly have a 2nd registry entry confusing BMS.
To ensure your virtualstore registry is clean, open regedit…
Search “virtualstore” and look at all instances. Ensure no BMS registry is found under any “virtualstore” sub key.
Of course disabling UAC disables this functionality, but I’m not 100% sure.
Still worth a try…

I could not find any BMS traces neither on C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\VirtualStore or the virtualstore subkey of the registry.
So still on square one.
of course thank you very much for the suggestion.

The “baseDir” points to the exe install to run and “curTheater” to the theater to load. If I change “Korea” to “Israel” it would load IT-BMS on Launch or visa versa.
If all the VirtualStore reg keys ie. “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore”, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_USERS, etc are clear of “Benchmark Sim” reg keys I’m out of ideas.

Ok, i founf this registry entry, but not the one of the virtual store.
This is my key
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.32] "baseDir"="E:\\Juegos\\Falcon BMS 4.32" "curPlatform"=dword:00000000 "curTheater"="Korea PvP" "PilotName"=hex:4a,6f,65,20,50,69,6c,6f,74,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "PilotCallsign"=hex:56,69,70,65,72,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
AND IT WORKS!!! I can type israel there or Korea and then the correct theater will be selected.
Is there any way to make it work normally, with the selection screen???
Someone pointed me on the right “curTheater” direction but I made a mistake and I searched the registry for CUTtheater instead. My bad…:rolleyes:

If it worked there then there is an issue with one of the text files. Please read back and send me the files to my email that I requested.

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
