Background Images Error

(Noobanator) #1

I keep getting an error message whenever I try to load background images. I have blue prints which I want to load and base a ship off. I have tried placing the image in both C:/Program Files/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/etmain/ and just C:/Program Files/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/ and neither works.

The error message
“bkgrnd2d: basepath: C:/Program Files/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory//etmain/

See the double / in "bkgrnd2d: basepath: C:/Program Files/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory//etmain/ "

You need to get rid of that. You may be able to do this editing the et.game file (in the games directory of your radiant install). Make a backup of that file before you do, in case you mess something up.

If you wouldn’t mind emailing me a copy of this file, it might help me coding a workaround in the plugin. You can send it to reyalp@gmail.com

Another user wrote to me

Hey you hit the nail on the head! The et.game file read
"enginepath =“C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ /”

So I changed it to:

enginepath =“C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/”

and it worked great. I know a few people who have had the same problem,
not sure why the file is generated that way but at least we can fix it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks I got it to work. I’ve sent you the et.game file. You were right all I needed to do was remove a slash.
