#1 Incorrect Parameter Messages

[Kevin]

With version 1.0 & 1.1, in Windows 98se with 128mb
RAM, the Map Window will not open when clicked, and it
displays an 'Incorrect Parameter' message, that looks
like it was generated from the program, rather than
Windows. The Shapes Window will open, and the font
shapes display correctly. Switching tabs to the Ending
Sequence graphics works fine, but clicking any of the
other graphics results in a long string of 'Incorrect
Parameter' messages, finally crashing the program.
Doctor Watson says the problem is in 'user.dll?' The
Conversation Window and the Book Editing Window work,
as does the Pallette Window. Help, please? Is it intended
for XP?

Thanks for the bug report. I've now released a new version
with extra debugging information - try downloading the new
version and running it from the command line with a /debug.
Try immediately opening the map window, and then exiting
the program after the error has occurred. There should be a
u6edit-log.txt file in the same directory that you can attach
to a follow up to this bug report.

It should at least tell me which section is generating the
error; I can then try reworking the code and/or adding in
extra logging information until I can figure out what exactly is
causing the problem.

Very curious. The map window worked for the first time, and I
forgot to run it with the /debug command line, but
nevertheless, it crashed in the shapes window, and the log
shows 'out of system resources'

It's somewhat surprising that the map worked, but then
shapes didn't - opening the map up the first time takes up
the most resources, since it has to load all the tile pictures
and game objects. Unfortunately, just telling me the error
isn't much good without the context information of where it
occurred. Try to start with a blank log file, and run a process
that immediately generates the error, then attach the log file
to a comment.

I sorted out the problem, and I got the shapes window to
work, albeit very slowly. I still don't have enough system
resources.

I ran the program, with the shapes window open, and I still
have 70% of my system resources free, yet it's incredibly
slow, and still will bring up an Out of System Resources
dialogue box. I posted the log. Help please?
