Can anyone throw some light on this error:

Mon Mar 4 17:50:28 2002
Error -1 [m_spLoadImg == 0]
DirectX code: "Unrecognized error: 0xffffffff"
F:\Devel\DestroyerCmd\Sim\Sources\CDestroyerSim.cpp
Line 253

The game starts ok, I hear the opening music but when I select any mission I get this error.
I have tried the configure routine plus SH2 runs ok, I'm not sure if thats related but thought I would mention it.
I see the DirectX is mentioned but wirh SH2 running I wasn't sure it was at fault.
Just noticed the date at the top, is that when I installed DC?

Came back to edit and add:

OK now, I remembered I had DirectX 8.1 install on a disk, I reinstalled it but I still got the error, I noticed it said 'LoadImg' so then I looked at the art folders but in doing so noticed there was another file called CIC that was empty but the original was saved so I deleted the empty CIC and renamed the saved original and everything seems ok now, a bit of a mystery but still it's back working again.

Loaded the "Metz mod" .... the splash screen and music came up then I selected my ongoing pacific campaign (mission one) and ...

(EDIT)

Ok ... started the camp from scratch (no big deal - mission one was saved at the beginning) and it works fine. Musta been a glitch from the old format or something.

<S>

Cool ... I'm a swabbie. Kinda wish I could keep this avatar and still up my post count. ;0)

Crying or Very sad

Have just installed des_5_v3.zip & historical_depth_charges_lethal_radius_mod_v1.0.zip.
Have backup of original 'units' and 'system' folders so I can undo this addition, but what went wrong? help! I was looking forward to slightly better surviveability when going up against DD's Sad

EDIT: single-player missions still work, but my existing campaign crashes every time

Can play single missions OK-but whenever I try a generated campaign-I get:

DirectXcode: "unrecognized error:0xFFFFFFFF"
F:\Devel\Janus2\Portable\Sources\Rnode.cpp

Anyone know what this is?

I just did a complete reinstall of SHII. After installing several mods I got the following message when I tried to start a scenario:

Tue Jan 29 11:46:00 2002
Error -1 [nStage < 0 || nStage >= TEXTURE_STAGE_MAX || m_aStages[nStage] == 0]

Macstu23 posted the same message early in this thread, and said it was a 'dodgy' Pyro file. I've tried everything I can think of; I'm using pretty much the same files I had before, and have no idea what's going on.

[Edit] Never mind. I reloaded the Vickers' mods, and it works now.

i then installed the patch which just made the game menus disappear, or scroll complete gibberish.

i have reinstalled dirext x twice and have even reinstalled the latest drivers for my graphics card.

Any help will be greatly received..
