failed to load project???

eRRoLfLyNN · 2004-04-24 13:09:07 UTC

Anybody ever get this error? Tried searching the forum and google but found nothing helpful. BAsically, when launching Radiant, I get the message “failed to load a project file”, and then the program quits. It’s looking for a .proj file and I can’t find one in any folder. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing has worked so far. This just happened out of the blue yesterday, for no apparent reason. I haven’t changed anything on my PC as far as I know. Any ideas???

How do you load Radiant? By it’s shortcut?

FireFly · 2004-04-24 13:48:03 UTC

I just did a search for ‘*.proj’ on my harddisk and found 3 proj-files :
default_project.proj
user0.proj
user1.proj

They should be in C:/Program Files/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/etmain/scripts

Uninstalling and reinstalling radiant should fix the problem, but you tried that allready.
What version of radiant are you using?

eRRoLfLyNN · 2004-04-24 14:03:42 UTC

Hi,

I’m using 1.4 & launching from the desktop shortcut. WAs working fine until yesterday? Never thought to do a search on the whole disc. Will run search and then try to start it with that. It never asked for this b4 though? Very strange , and I never “open last project on loading” or anything either. Weird… :eek2:

eRRoLfLyNN · 2004-04-24 14:23:34 UTC

Weird, I did the search and I don’t seem to have the files you talk about Firefly:

default_project.proj
user0.proj
user1.proj

Maybe I deleted them by accident. I was in the scripts folder about a week ago modifying a shader and when I loaded ET the whole GUI & HUD was orange and black. Oops! I figured I must have deleted an important shader. So I took the scripts folder I had backed up from pak0 and replaced the scripts folder in etmain with it. Everything seemed to be fine. Until now. I mean I have used Radiant a lot since that happened and it’s been working fine. But now, nothing. Could you post your default_project.proj file to see if it will work? Is it a text file?

FireFly · 2004-04-24 15:09:10 UTC

yes, It’s a txt-file, just rename it to a proj-file.

Btw i’m using radiant 1.3.13 so i’m not sure this will work

here’s the default_project.proj :

Well i reinstalled Radiant again and it’s working fine now. It has created these 2 files in etmain\scripts -

default_project.proj
user0.proj

Must have deleted them at some stage. Anyway, thanks for your input guys.

Just thought I’d post the code for the 2 files that Radiant creates - might save someone having to reinstall if the same happens to them…

Lol, you beat me to it hehe. Just noticed as well, in case anybody is using this in the future, my ET is installed on D:, so probably best use Firefly’s as he is on C.

Cheers for the help again.

FireFly · 2004-04-24 15:42:46 UTC

No problem, glad to see it’s all working again
