Thanks PlayfulGuy and for the detailed explanations. I'll let you know how I make out.
What happens when you try?Grazer1982 wrote: Wed Mar 24, 2021 9:40 am Hi.
Which Java version is needed for GuideMe?
ATM im running Ubuntu and Openjava14, but it doesnt work
I'm pretty much drawing a blank on that one. Do the gifs display, but don't animate, or do they not display at all? Off the top of my head I can't think of why that might happen unless it's missing some library that isn't in the modified path.lawman5297 wrote: Wed Mar 24, 2021 5:42 pm PlayfulGuy riddle me this;
When I modified my start.bat to delete the .state file and to auto load my tease .gif files no longer play. They work fine with the unmodded start.bat. Mhh?
PlayfulGuy, All I get is just a small image with a red X. It knows there is something there but not what to do with it. I can start from the original and it plays just fine. This tease is humongous. Perhaps I could send just a bit to cover this if you need it.PlayfulGuy wrote: Thu Mar 25, 2021 10:31 pmI'm pretty much drawing a blank on that one.

Post the content of your both your modified and unmodified start.bat files and maybe I can spot something.
Beyond that you'd have to link me to a copy of the tease you're trying and I could try to reproduce the issue.

Are you in exactly the same folder when you start it with both of those bat files? Nothing is jumping out at me there. If the one works the other should too. Is it only gifs? Jpgs etc work fine?lawman5297 wrote: Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:32 pmPlayfulGuy, All I get is just a small image with a red X. It knows there is something there but not what to do with it.

I got a chance to try this and unfortunately it doesn't work for me either.Grazer1982 wrote: Wed Mar 24, 2021 9:40 am Hi.

I would be checking the Guideme log for clues to see if it's having trouble finding files.

I'll just use the full path. It's no big deal. Thanks for getting me in the right direction.PlayfulGuy wrote: Fri Mar 26, 2021 2:17 am Try changing your batch file to thisBasically change the relative path to a full pathCode: Select all

If that works then I'd try dropping the drive letter (C:) and see what happens. It seems to be not liking the relative path, but it is odd that it's only gifs. It may be a different library that handles gifs and it's not coded to take relative paths properly, or some such thing.

It kind of seems like those of us that use Guideme are a small group and there's not too many programmers in the group willing to volunteer. I'm still too wrapped up in writing a new downloader with EOS support and just don't have the brainpower to learn the in's and out's of Guideme right now. But once the downloader is released (which should be soon'ish) I'm going to start digging in to it. Hopefully @eroticdevelopment returns though. Even if it's just to share some knowledge....lawman5297 wrote: Sat Apr 03, 2021 9:27 pm I hope @eroticdevelopment has not abandoned GuideMe. He was doing a fabulous job. If he is unable to maintain it perhaps there is someone else that can?
