First time setting up; Error

[Siris]

Okay, I just set it up and as soon as I get it started it loads, but b4 it connects to bnet it crashes with this error:



I showed my system and display properties to show i'm using xp and in 16 bit color.

And this is what it says in my log:

[E]> Failed to found the calibrate/offset point.
[i]> Windows color mode/deft must be in 16 bit mode.
[i]> Operating system must be Win2000 or highter.

thanks for the help.
note: if it is sonething simple and i have simply over looked it, feel free to gimme a bitch slap.:p

If it makes you feel any better I can't see it either, so if its somethin stupid your not alone. The only thing I can think is perhaps the in game settings aren't correct, ie you need 800x600 resolution. but that doesn't exactly make sense with the error message. Although if you have the game set on 640 it would miss the calibration poit/offset point. Ill

how would it be game settins when it doesnt even get to bnet? it just goes to main menu and crashes.

perhaps u wrote an unrecognisable character in ur configuration file and when it tries to run it it just, cant. or maybe u erased some important info or something.

That wouldn't be it, it would at least load the game.

Siris, what version of mm.BOT are you using?

[Siris]

the latest that thee is in the dl section. like 544 and the mod is 63.

is it possible that my processor is to low?

1. OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

Operating system must be Win2000 or superior. Win98/Millenium does not work.
1++ Ghz CPU is recommended, but some people have made it work at 600 Mhz.
I will not support computers < 1Ghz due the fact they are more harder to setup.
This bot was created from a windows Xp 2.6 Ghz computer, 1024*768 16bit.
Classic Windows theme was used, but you can use "Normal XP" Theme.

After you look at that, did you make sure to put the data folder from the mm.bot.63 into your d2 directory?

[Siris]

Of course, if you dn't put it in thre it says something like bot can't run. what happens for me is it loads diablo in windowed mode. Then once its on the main menu moves moves a bit the crashes with that error. I have read the manual a few times over. It says ppl have gotten the bot to work with 600 mhz. And as you can see from the pic i have 566mhz. anywas i am using classic theme as you can tell.

[chdnny]

well, i have the exact problem siris does, it crashes before bnet starts and then that error msg appears

well my res in game was the 600 watever but after it failed i played for a bit and the res was at 800 watever. i dunno wtf?

im freakin looking at this thread like a hawk, i go tthe same exact prob

[PoweredDeath]

If you look around the mmbot.net forums you'll read that you cannot use a custom GUI theme, stick with XP theme or classic.

Edit: You said you're using the bot with mod 63, but latest version (5.44 Final) uses mod 70.

[Siris]

That could be my problem. I did not know this and i have never read that but i have the alienware theme and its GUI. i guess when i have time i'll try this out. Thank you.
