WinRott troubles

Gibaholic · 07-29-2006, 09:21 PM

I'm using the WinRott_Shareware_v2.24.zip since I don't have the full game. Everytime I restore a saved game I have a problem. When it loads, I can't move at all, only thing I can do is fire my weapon. Could someone assist me in solving this problem?

Thank you.

Try to delete all of *.rot files on your WinROTT dir. And restart game to re-make default setting, itself by WinROTT program.

When using a new version of WinROTT or WinROTTGL, you must delete all of *.rot files, else you may get some shity problems like yours.

*ALWAYS* delete your *.rot files whenever you install a new version of
either winrott or winrottgl, if you don't the game will behave unpredictably..

Yeah I deleted my .rot files and tried it again. No luck.

This is the first report of a save game problem in ages with winrott, try
re-installing the game to a fresh directory with nothing else in it, the last
time this problem was worked on, I think it was due to a 'endian' problem,
(which bit is considered most or least significant in a byte), see if doing
that helps. If the problem still occurs I'll look into it...

You didn't specify what your operating system is, but I have a custom
version of 2.24 shareware designed for windows 98, it also runs on xp pro,
I just tried the saving & loading of a game and it worked fine, if you want
to try this version out, let me know and I'll put it up on putfile and send
you the download link...

Gibaholic · 08-05-2006, 07:26 PM

I'm on windows xp home, yeah I suppose I'll try it.

nah, any level. It was working fine but now it does the same thing.

jbailey · 08-07-2006, 06:25 AM

WinRott was working ok at first, but after you play it for a while, then the
save game problem occurs? At the moment, I'm not sure what would cause
that problem, usually these kind of problems are 'instant'. This suggests a
corrupted file somewhere, personally I've never had this problem, I'll talk
with birger about this and get his insight...

I had this problem only 1 time...
(I forgot... maybe 2 times? I'm not complete to testing save/load game function..)

Latest WinROTTGL isn't happen save game problems when I playing... only end-game cutscene abnormal and will crash on some reason...

This type of thing is why I play the original game(s) on my 486 (or DOSBox) instead of bothering with ports. It's a great effort guys, writing a program like WinRott, and I really don't mean to offend you or your work, but I personally prefer to keep with the originals.

jbailey · 08-08-2006, 04:50 PM

That's fine, it's up to you as to what version of rott you want to play,
porting *any* old game from dos to windows (xp) is not easy, you have to
figure out how to get 'dos only' stuff to work even half right under a
OS that doesn't have any native support for the original code, when your
doing stuff like that, there is bound to be a few problems along the way...

Try disabling the basemarker option..., that at least was the problem for me with savegames
