TouchPal Problems (anyone..?)

[barra733]

Ok, first off - thanks to all who have had anything to do with setting this great program up and getting it to work. It really is 'white mans magic' to me and has been a steep learning curve.

 

It works, in a fashion!

 

I have a main monitor at 1680X1050 and a 10" touch screen to its top right at 1024X768. I'm running BS in 'not full screen' mode and am using Windows Vista 32 bit. I have a NVidia 8800GT which seems to handle everything just fine.

 

I can run BS with touchpal and everything works fine; The abris and Shkal are where they should be and all the buttons work a treat. I have to start TouchPal after I'm in the cockpit though otherwise my joystick profile doesn't seem to load. This isn't a major problem though. There are hovever a few problems which still exist:

 

1. When I launch BS from the desktop shortcut I immediately get the following message box (made bold by me):

 

Error:

.\blackshark\modules\me_traceback.lua:110: bad argument #1 to 'member' (string expected, got no value)

Stack traceback:

 

->stack: .\blackshark\modules\i18n.lua in line 213 in func: _

->stack: ..\blackshark\modules\me_options.lua in line 194 in func: getMonitorProfiles

->stack: ..\blackshark\modules\me_options.lua in line 268 in func:

->stack: .\BlackShark\BlackShark.lua in line 234 in func:

I click 'OK' and the game starts up fine! It does this if I open normally or if I open with Admin rights, and if Touchpal is opened or closed.

 

 

2. As I said, the game then starts up fine but if I then click on the 'Options' button in the GUI I get the following message (made bold by me):

 

Error:

..\luagui5\dialog_loader.lua:27: bad argument #1 to 'match' (string expected, got nil)

Stack traceback:

 

->stack: ..\luagui5\dialog_loader.lua in line 27 in func: setText

->stack: ..\luagui5\Widget.lua in line 266 in func:

->stack: .\BlackShark\BlackShark.lua in line 751 in func:

The loading screen locks up and I have to 'Alt Tab' out to click 'OK' in the error box. I'm then dumped back to the GUI. I canot access the options menu at all!

 

The application works fine, but I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me what's going on here and how I can get access to the options menu again? I followed all of the instructions to the letter, done some maths and most of it seems to work...

 

Secondly, To get it to run with BS I have to load BS first, then Alt Tab back to desktop to load up TouchPal. If I don't do this then my joystick doesn't work in the game. Is this a 'Vista-ism'? Any way around this?

Hi, did you ever sort your problem with the options button in this game??

 

I am having the same problem, I get the same error when i try to get into the options screen.

 

thanks
