EB startup issues

[BigSteve]

Good evening, y'all.

I am new to this board, so if this question has already been asked, and resolved, my sincere apologies.

I have RTW gold edition, patched up to 1.5, and have installed EB08, but upon starting it, I get to the loading screen, and eventually I will see the following error:

"Failed to open Sound database"

After clicking on the ok button from the above messagebox, I will see another error:

"Script error in data/descr_sounds_units_ambient.txt at lien 6142, column 85.
Mount type "Crested heavy horse not found"

I will greatly appreciate any ideas.

Cheers

Hi,

I am still having this problem, and this is preventing me from going any further then the load screen.

Any ideas?

I hate to say it, but that greatly sounds like a faulty download. Like some files didn't make it or were corrupted in transit. Someone else might have a better suggestion, but my first inclination is to think trying again to download the 080 exe would be the most likely way to fix it.

I'm not using Gold though - I don't know how many of our members are. But I just don't think that I've seen that error message anywhere before.

Okay, I have uninstalled RTW (gold), and installed it again. I then re-installed Eb as well.

Now I am getting passed the load screen, and I can select the Imperial Campaign, but the moment I click on the continue button, I get CTD.

Any ideas.

Cheers.

That was exactly what I got!!!
Same problem, look in my RTWgold thread.
Surely there must be a problem with EB and RTWgold?

Bigsteve just checking, what graphics card do you have?

[BigSteve]

Mediolanicus,

Thanks for your reply.

You caught me a bit off guard with the graphics card question, and I will double check tonight after work, but if memory serves me correct it is an ATI Radeon X1900 GT pro 256MB card.

I had RTR working before uninstalling RTW, but alas now RTR is not working.

Maybe I should just uninstall everything again tonight, and start fresh?

Cheers

This is an impossible message to get. We have no "Crested heavy horse" or any mention to it in the files. So, therefore, you must have old files belonging to another mod somewhere in the RTW folders. I know you have installed it fresh several times, but there is no other explanation to this occurrence.

[BigSteve]

Agreed,

After starting fresh, all the problems is gone, and I have multiple mods working.

I love EB, and I would like to thank y'all for the very nice work done!

Cheers
