Image mod |
Hey guys, the full install, self extracting Imagemod file hosted on the bittorent site is corrupt or something. The planets.bmp won't load and has ruined SEIV in that I can't play it at all, I get to the first screen and it tells me it can't load planets.bmp and I have 2 choices, sit and look at this screen for awhile or quit the game.
I was advised to download Irfanview and resave the file into .bmp (although it already is a .bmp) so I did, but Irfanview won't load it up either, it says "Can't load file header!" and "Unknown file type or file not found!"
So my question is this: Is there anywhere else I can download a real, working copy of atleast the planets.bmp? I would greatly appreciate it.

Don't know Fyron but its definetly not working. Ekolis on se.net said you had forgotten to change some files that were saved in another .bmp form to the right .bmp in the installer or something. Anyways, I tried to do what he suggested with Irfanview and it didn't work. Another person sent me the stock Planets.bmp from deluxe and, after I deleted the corrupted? version of it from the imagemod, pasted in that stock one and it seems to be working now. Though the imagemod version was like 3 and a half megs and this one is only like a little over 1 meg.
Still would like to get a working copy of the real file but I guess if this works, its fine.
Re: Image mod
To my recollection, the Planets.bmp file never had any issue with bitmap headers; its always been newly submitted portrait files at fault.
Re: Image mod
I completely reinstalled everything Gold->Deluxe patch->image mod and it seems to be working well now. I haven't a clue what was wrong before. It has all the planet pics and have had no errors so far. (crosses fingers)
Re: Image mod
I'm not seeing this problem with the Planets.bmp file...
