[SOLVED] Another noggit crash on startup
« on: May 05, 2014, 09:50:05 am »
Hi, I was forced to formate my disk and fully reinstall Windows. After it I simply can't get noggit SDL 1.2 running (before it worked without problems - both SDL 1.3 and 1.2). Its classic open and immediately crash without error showing problem. SDL 1.3 works fine, but I really don't want to use it until bug with not saving some objects is solved. So, the log and config files are here:

http://pastebin.com/6QKnHgGS
http://pastebin.com/kuMKQUY9

I am sure that paths are correct, I work with noggit pretty long time, this really isn't problem. What seems to be problem are acces rights to Data folder, because I can't open those MPQ files even while using MPQEditor 3.5.0.752 (Error message is: "Acces is denied."). When I copy MPQ files on my Deskop, they can be opened without this error. However, older version of MPQEditor (version 3.2.2.671) can open MPQ files even when they are in my WoW/Data folder, thats btw pretty strange because BOTH of my MPQEditor versions have option "Open MPQs with Read-only" switched off). Still, SDL 1.3 works, probably thanks to Read-only opening MPQs.

I've tryed to uncheck "Read-only" option in all folders which are included in path to WoW (Files, World of Warcraft 3.3.5a, Data), but I still can't get it working. Whenever I try to open Properties of folder where I've switched Read-only option off before, its back there. Just can't get rid of it.

So (if I haven't made other mistake) does anyone know how to really get rid of these Read-only acces rights? Seems to be quite a unique problem :D.

EDIT: Halfly solved by myself in the end. I made folder on my deskop where I placed MPQ and DBC files and used it as path to WoW and now it works (eh, btw, this folder has also that Rad-only perma on option...). Still this isn't most ideal solution and I would be glad if someone knew how to really fix this thing or what caused it.

EDIT2: Took 5 hours of observing, testing, observing, testing and again testing... I couldn't fix problem with acces rights, but running program as administrator solved it. I read somewhere that admin mode doesn't solve anything - I think you should reconsider it. It does - when someone just can't get rid of Read-only right because of Windows bug/bad configuration of system. Its not solved at all, but in the end I found 2 ways around.

It do help to run noggit if you are totaly incapable to setup your system right.
But it also lead to crashes of noggit and so using it is not clever.

A reason that not many helped you coukd be that u used Dropbox instead of pastbin to give us your files,  as it was written in the hiw to post thread.  I will not. Download any file to my pc.

Repost your files on pastbin and add me to skype.
