uncompression error

from Stardock Forums
I still get error 13 on Invasion.mp3. The debug.err file:
*DEBUG ERROR: *** MWinEditFields::Create - Unable to load sprite book Invasion ***

I ran searches on 'my computer' and deleted all invasion.* files. I just can get media files to uncompress.

please help - I havent been able to play GC since beta 3 came out. When I try starting the game, at 50% load, it crashes. :sniff!:

Actually, that error is with the invasion screen, not the invasion music. It would crash if it couldn't find the Invasion.mtd file, so if this is the problem, just let us know and we can send you a copy of the file to the the game running again! :)

I just upgraged to beta 3.a and after installing the data files, I then installed the multimedia files. I got the same error uncompressing invasion.mp3. The invasion.mtd file is in the C:\Program Files\Drengin.net\galciv\Gfx and 428 KB. no mention of error in debug.err. :sniff!:

Curious if your invasion.mp3 is read only?

Also, if you double click on that file by itself does it play? Wondering if its corrupted?

It plays with windows media player and in not read-only. I think its the next file in the uncompress routine.

There shoudl be a .xml in your drengin directory. Delete all references to invasion in that and then reconnect to Drengin game manager and let it redownload.

the file:C:\Program Files\Drengin.net\data\gc1\gc1.xml had 3 references to invasion. I used notepad to edit and delete those references. I disconnected then reconneted to Drengin. GalCiv and Media both had updates. I did media and got same error 13 on invasion. There are no references to invasion in xml file. If I upgrade GalCiv, the xml file is replaced. The game plays but the sounds...
