Hello, if you tell me the adjustments you made to the control file I could implement them for the next release. Thanks and best regards, Frank

I was trying to make a "deb-get" script for installing this program and ran into this same error. It seems to happen because there are empty fields in the control file. I tried removing them and rebuilding the deb, then apt was able to install it without any problem. I know it's possible to use dpkg to install local files, but it's better to use apt, because apt will automatically handle installing any dependencies, but dpkg won't.

@fgerbig Yes, all working now. But, just for your information, the right click on a screenshot, with or without a image viewer defined, always uses the image viewer definition setting (meaning it never tries or uses the internal java image viewer, as it does on covers screenshots.

Thanks. Works perfectly!

jGameBase Temp Folder
-
Hello, jGameBase uses the default location of the operating system for temporary directories. In Java this is the property "java.io.tmpdir". So you can start jgb with a different temporary directory like java -Dpolyglot.js.nashorn-compat=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=<PATH TO TEMPDIR> -jar jgamebase.jar e.g. java -Dpolyglot.js.nashorn-compat=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=/home/frank/Schreibtisch/TEMPTEST -jar jgamebase.jar in the jGameBase directory. Hope that helps. Best regards, Frank

Anonymous posted a comment on ticket #45
Thanks Frank. Tested the VIC20 and Atari ST gamebase and appears to be working. In the VIC20 GB Atarisoft cartridge extras don't work. There are two files inside the archive which get loaded into seperate memory locations. Looking in the terminal when the extra is run only one of the files is listed as a filetorun. but when you run with the play button both are listed as filestorun and allocated to the correct memory locations. Might be an issue with the script...I am going to play around with t...

Hello, yes the games key-value-pairs were not used when starting extras. Please find attached an updated jgamebase.jar (simply replace the existing one). Please test and give feedback if it is working as intended. Best regards, Frank

You're correct. Sorry, I read on some random forum that dpkg was automatically handled by apt for local files. Could install the deb thanks to your instructions, thanks a milion!

Hello Psyko, You are using "apt", which is used to install packages from your distributions repository, but jGamebase is a package you manually downloaded. To install a local package use "dpkg": sudo dpkg -i jgamebase_0.71-2_all.deb Best regards, Frank

TOOLS / VERIFY AVAILABLE FILES console error

Hi, I have to check, but this is probably because the screenshot widget is also used to display animations, which the internal viewer can't handle. Best regards, Frank

Hi, Glad to hear you got it working! Best regards, Frank

Ok, got everything working, the problem with images is fixed by using EXPLORER as the external picture viewer (for everyone having dificulties I leave here the solution). The windows "privileges" i'm still trying to understand.

Weirdest thing is that C64Lite gamebase, works perfectly! I can click on all screenshots and view them (covers/loading/in-game screens). When I load SpeccyMania_V4 (or any other gamebase) it just doesn't work, isn't that strange?

Anyway, I'm trying a "clean instal" of jgamebase, to see if it fixes the "permissions" error.

Hi @fgerbig Thanks for the swift answers, here's my feedback. 1) Didn't know that, but right clicking the loading/ingame screenshots with right button shows exactly the same error message. 2) Also guessed it might be that, in the meanwhile I'll trying to figure this out, since I'm the "administrator" account of this laptop.

Hi, 1) There are two ways to open a picture: - left mouse click starts an external viewer (which must have been configured via Menu "Tools -> Options..." under "Database -> Extra Options -> Program to open images") - right mouse click starts an internal viewer From the message "Could not open picture viewer ''" it seems that no external picture viewer was configured. 2) I would interpret the message "CreateProcess error=740, The operation needs elevation." as Windows way of saying that authorizations...

HI @fgerbig I never had issues with jgamebase before, but latelly on windows10, almost everything is broken :( I tried redownloading SpeccyManiaV5 from here http://www.gamebase64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5892&sid=33804087d49b1103e0b211cb6a941c5b#p30467 and error persists. I'm using java java version "1.8.0_333" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_333-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.333-b02, mixed mode) For instance, i can see the "cassete inlays" but when i click on...

Also happend with V0.71-3. At first I assumed it might be something related to the database in use, but this happens with several other databaseses. It always happens after checking game files and before starting music files, so i'm assuming is something UI related?

TOOLS / VERIFY AVAILABLE FILES console error
-
Hi, You are right this is an exception in the GUI layer (AWT/Swing) of Java. I think you can ignore it. BTW I tested with jGB V0.71-3 on Java 16 and neither 'C64lite' nor 'SpeccyManiaV4' database showed an error. If the error bothers you, perhaps try a different Java version. Best regards, Frank

Neelix posted a comment on ticket #42
Hi Frank, That was. It's working now. Thank you very much. Kind regards.
-
Hello Neelix, the database is lacking the "Photos" directory and that causes the problem. Please find attached a new jar file; try the new version and see if that fixes the problem. Best regards, Frank
-
This morning, I saw an error in the terminal window that I previously passed. When I click on the Add button in add/edit musicians dialog, this error occurs: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Name '/usr/share/games/jgamebase/Amstrad_CPC/Photos' must be an existing directory My gamebases are stored in my home directory and the path point to the right directories. This directory appears in the paths dialog too.
-
Hi, No window opens behind the others. Nothing happens.
-
Hello Neelix. In case you don't get errors or warning: the problem v.071-2 tries to solve (and for me on Linux solves) is that the Musician window opened behind other windows and waited for input. Please check if this is perhaps the problem you are facing. Best regards, Frank
-
Yes, I did, but the issue persists. No error messages, no warnings, neither in jGameBase, nor un the terminal.
-
Hello Neelix, did v0.71-2 solve the problem? If the problem persist, please supply more information. Best regards, Frank
-
I think there is a mistake. I mean adding a new musician to the musician table, clicking the "New" button on the dialog box or editing his name clicking on the "Edit" button. Nothing happens if these buttons are click, except the "button pushed" effect. I tried to launch jgamebase in a terminal windows to see if some error appears, but here too, nothing happens. It seems that these buttons are inactive.
-
Hello Neelix, I tried with java-11-openjdk and it's working for me: I put the new photos in the "Photos" directory, select the game or music and "Edit Game Info" or "Edit Music Info". The dialog with the field for musician opens. I press the "..." button beside the musician and the "Select Musician..." dialog opens. There I select the musician and press "Edit". The "musician" dialog opens; now I can select the Photo from the list. After saving the musician and game or music I select a different item....
-
Hello, I tried it right now. The issue remains. I'm under Xubuntu 18.04 with java -11-openjdk. Tried with official jdk-1.8.0_261 too with the same result.
-
Hello Neelix, Please try release v0.71-2: unfortunately the dialog to edit the musician opened behind other dialogs. If you want to add a musicians photo, you have to first place it into the photo directory, then you should be able to select it from the list. Best regards, Frank

Selecting Music file in Extras - File not found

Anonymous posted a comment on ticket #41
No problem I don't consider this a huge issue. So I tried the mp3 you mentioned above as well as in the C64 database. All MP3s played fine. The funny thing is I had no music player setup for mp3s in either of those databases. It just opened itunes. (default system mp3 player). if i added a music emulator for mp3 to either of the databases I get the file not found error. I removed my music emulator from the zx spectrum database and now all the ay music extras open fine using DeaDBeeF (system default...

Selecting Music file in Extras - File not found

Hello Chad, it' working for me. For example "SpeccyMania4/Morris Meets the Bikers" has an mp3 attached; plays without a problem. I added a new game to C64lite and added an mp3 as extra, it's working. Please check your setup; if the problem persists please find a non working case in C64lite or C64 database. Thanks and best regards, Frank

This is using the Dragon GameBase. I tried selecting the Moonmist file in box 3 and then hit test game. The terminal output shows that initially fileToRun is set correctly however once it extracts it to the temp folder it changes the fileToRun to the first file...ENGINE.VDK. I believe this all happens prior to my script getting executed so I don't think it is an problem with my script.

Hello Chad, I had a look and could reproduce the problem: When a game in an archive is started the archive is extracted and the file_to_run is searched in the extracted files. The error was that the extracted files are absolute paths and the file_to_run is only the filename (so the file_to_run could never be found). At this point a fallback kicked in and selected the first suitable file found in the extracted files as file_to_run. Please find attached a new jar-file. Simply copy it over the existing...
