Distiler Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I remember from my il2 times that the path requires to end it with lockon.exe, not just X:\Lock On, but X:\Lock On\lockon.exe That was for il2, perhaps also for lockon.

104th_Crunch Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks Distler, yes I made sure to add lockon.exe. Also thanks Viper, but yes, I tried to install as admin. Weird. Everything else is good.
PoleCat Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Disable UAC. Install LockOn outside of Program Files Directory. "C:\Games\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\LOCKON.EXE" In HL game path remember to remove the quotes if you pasted. Out Edited December 14, 2009 by PoleCat 1 http://www.104thphoenix.com/
RvEYoda Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) What you can do instead of disabling UAC is assign yourself full read-write access to the lockon folder and to the HL folder. This is better than give yourself read-write access to every folder on system ( UAC OFF ) in my opinion. However this option is not in Win7 home edition from what I know, only professional or ultimate. Right click the folder, properties, security(not in home edition), add your user name, give "full/all" permissions. Also make sure like PoleCat says to have "" around the search path Edited December 14, 2009 by =RvE=Yoda S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
Moa Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Hi Crunch, I had the same problem with the Win7 release candidate running on my server. I fixed it by finding the LockOn folder in the Explorer and getting the path from the title bar as text. Then pasting it into the path in Hyperlobby. I noticed changes of case from some items in the path, although I'm reluctant to believe this to be the source of the problem. Perhaps Hyperlobby doesn't escape the space in the file name properly but the Win7 Explorer does. Anyway it's ironic, since I asked you for help for this since I didn't know how to force Hyperlobby to re-check the path so I could set it properly. You helped me and we fixed it. Nice to be able to return the favour. Yes, you also do need to run as Admin and do the stuff to fix the "..." relative path instances in the Hyperlobby config files or graphics will not be drawn properly. Cheers, Moa 1

Cheers, Moa Maybe its possible to put these graphics files in home folder instead ? Or somewhere similar ? .. hmm it should be possible to run this without admin priviliges...I dont like giving a network app full read/write to my system ..:) Edited December 14, 2009 by =RvE=Yoda 1 S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0).
