uralldumb1 Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 bad table combat mission demo/bmp/1555.bmp is an error i get when i am inflating the files for combat mission demo 1.02. I downloaded it with a 56k connection so it would be unpractical for me to download it again and i was hoping there was a way i could download just the 1555.bmp file or have it emailed to me. Please help me. Thank you toddsemail2000@yahoo.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uralldumb1 Posted November 5, 2000 Author Share Posted November 5, 2000 I recieved the 1555.bmp via e-mail from a few of you o so helpful people out there but still no fix. I get a black screen when i start the game and when I hit enter or esc in this screen i am returned to windows. Im running CM demo 1.02 on a 500mhz amd k6-2 with 128 mgs ram, 8 mg ati rage pro video card and soundbaster live. I dont know what to do to fix the problem. I would apressiate if anyone knew how to fix the problem. Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 5, 2000 Share Posted November 5, 2000 I'd suggest using a program like Winzip to manually open up the Demo download. Extract the files manually to whatever directory you want. You'll want to maintain the directory structure that is in the self-extracting zip (i.e. - a BMP, a WAV and a SCENARIOS folder). the CM executable needs to be in the same parent directory as the previously mentioned directories. With DirectX 6.1 or greater installed in your system you should get a black screen with some white/blue text indicating the resolution it has detected. This is where you are having the problem - you can't see the text to select the resolution. CM will automatically go through a set of resolutions it can detect from your video adapter (usually different resolutions with particular refresh rates). Or you can manually tell it to run try the next resolution. I'd suggest that you Ctrl-Alt-Del and "close" any running applications other than "Explorer" and "Systray". The run CM and see if it will display correctly. Sometimes you may need driver updates or a reinstall of DirectX (in which case, download 7.0a, unless you're running Windows ME which is currently running 7.1). DirectX 7.0a download (in small text down the page): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=16819 Rage 3D Pro driver (on upper right hand side of page, v. J5.11.1B20 - latest BETA): http://www.rage3d.com/ If this doesn't work for you, then some removal of drivers and other things are in store.
