override problems

Post by Zyx »

I tried the override feature but forgot to change the height and width values of the bitmaps:
the program seems to freeze when loading the picture: in fact a messagebox is displayed but
it is not visible. Besides, if I press enter, it loads all the bitmaps and then crashes, after all the prescaling.
It would be nice: A. to put all the errors into a log file.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp B. If a BMP can't be loaded, the default is loaded.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp C. To see the error messages.

They are actually dumped into an error log, but only in the debug and not release build! I'll re-enable it and make sure the output gets piped to the screen...

I found that RTC won't start-up if any of the override files are read only - it'll crash once it's initialised all the data. Perhaps you could put a note about this in the override.txt file?
