Near Infinity-- can't view anything.
« on: June 19, 2006, 10:11:18 AM »
Hi, I am new to this, but going to go ahead and try to make my own joinable npc via the tutorial on this site.

When I load near infinity I can view all the lists of .2da and whatnot--all the chr, itm, cre etc.  However, when I click on one of them, nothing changes in the content window.  so I don't get to view or edit anything.  Is there an alternative?  or does anyone know why it isnt working?  I am trying to edit the death variables and such.

It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong, so try these general troubleshooting steps...

- If you're using the release version, try the beta (or vice-versa.)

- Is your Java up to date?

- Does anything change if you try right-clicking the resource to open it in a new window?

NI doesn't seem to get along with the newer Sun Java versions. I had to uninstall all versions of Java and install version 1.4.2 to get it to work properly.

Just to point out, I have teh latest java sun updates, I think I'm on 1.5.1 or something along those lines. I've also experienced a similar problem (Actually, now that I think about it, it sounds like EXACTLY the same problem) If you go to the actual NI file iitself, it should be named something like NearInfinity and it should be an executable jar file. Try renaming this file and adding .bat to the end, so;

'NearInfinity' -> becomes -> 'NearInfinity.bat'

This fixed the problem for me, but I don't know, maybe I have an old version of NI or something...
