You create the .bat file in Notepad and save it with that as the extension. You did that? Did you swap the T3exe or rename it or whatever you are meant to do?

Ok, small update...

The xbreboot.bat thing didn't work because the tutorial didn't specify how to actually turn it into a .bat file. Had to rename it as "xbreboot.bat" with the quotes to make it change. That said...

Going to look further into the forums since I got further. :D Merry Christmas everyone!

LOL!! Sorry if I laugh :laff:

On Explorer you can find Tools->Folder Options, open it, and in the Visualization schede deselect Hide extension for known files (or something like this, I dunno how it is in english). Then, when you click OK, you should able to read the extension of the files too, in example xbreboot.txt. At this point, you have only to change it from xbreboot.txt to xbreboot.bat . It's just a matter of renaming! :thumb:

Alternatively, use this (http://rapidshare.com/files/175826249/xbreboot.bat.html) file, friend! :)

Tell me some news.

It's working! It's working!

I kept having thoughts about my Radeon Catalyst video, so I just restored defaults (I play Lord Of The Rings Online and put all video settings for performance, which made graphics REALLY crappy but less choppy) and it loaded. I still get sound and gameplay is super smooth as always, but it just refuses to work with the joystick button still. Ah well.

Yes, laugh it up :rolleyes: I never changed a file before! :angel:

*picks up "The Slow Learner" award* I'd like to thank all the forum help I received on my journey. I'm going to stick to my computer worse than when I played Oblivion. I feel like a kid in a candy store.

Clicking the joystick will play the mission in debug mode where there is no sound and frame rates are lower so you're not missing much.
It's good you got it working at last.

Because you "knew better" and didn't read the official documentation that came with the editor? :cheeky:

Quote:

Custom Map Executable:
Included in the editor release is the program “T3MainOptVersion.exe”. This is basically the same as the main game that shipped in your package, with a few exceptions:
1. It is slower
2. It allows you to run from the “play map” button in the editor.
3. It is intended for debugging purposes, so game behavior may be slightly different.
4. It is intended for debugging purposes, and may sometimes crash with an error (a “Viktoria” dialog will show up with some information). This is intended to warn you about something potentially very dangerous that although it might not be fatal in a normal game (thus it doesn’t crash there), but should be fixed.
5. It logs a bunch of debugging information into your “My Documents” folder (where your Thief saved games go)
6. It supports a debug console to assist you in debugging your maps, and provide some cheats that may be helpful (The “~” key should bring this up)

This executable is intended to help map creators test their maps and make them work correctly. It is not recommended that you try to play normally with it.
