I don't know if it's NI or my hardware, but sound files sometimes can get bugged while playing in it. They stop at some point and then start repeating a single cut part to the point where I must close NI so that it doesn't drive me insane  :-[

Whoops, I somehow used fastjar rather than JVM jar. File sent again  :-/

I use java 6 and my NI was compiled for java 5 (it's not the official one, I merged in some diffs for Linux compatibility), but I don't have any problems. I've sent a version compiled for JVM 6 at your BWL address, if that could help.

Yeah i'm on java 1.6 now.  I don't really wanted to go uninstalling / downgrading as this invariably fubars something.

I did manage to find a command for closing the dos boxes though:

start javaw -Xmx512M -jar NearInfinity-1.33b19-1.jar


Note the w at the end of the first java.  So now at least NI opens without dos boxes needing to be open too.

Thanks guys...i guess I'll persevere until a new NI comes along!

1.32 requires 1.4+. 1.33 requires 1.5+.

The problems you're encountering are almost certainly coming from Java. Make sure you have the latest version; if you do, there may be an incompatibility with the latest and greatest. You could try downgrading to the latest 1.5 release, but who knows how Windows would handle this.

Puttting the start at the beginning of the bat file does indeed close the window...unfortunately it also opens another dos window which then stays open with just a flashing cursor in it...closing this box closes NI too.
Ouch. Does creating a link work, or does that spawn a DOS screen too?

PS: what is your Java version? I believe that NI is compiled for 1.5.*, while the latest NI is for 1.6.*. I don't think that should cause problems, though.

I'm on WinXP Pro and I have 2gb of RAM.

It's not a huge problem just an annoying one!

Anybody any ideas or recommendations for this problem?
I don't know if they'll help, but what are your OS & RAM?

Also, if increasing the memory allocation helps, you can try to increase the memory cap even more in the .bat file (E.G. java -Xmx1024M blah_blah).

Also if anyone can tell me how to add the command included into the bat file directly to NI that would be great...its a bit of a pain having the bat open and NI (when I close the bat NI closes).  Yes I'm a stickler for unneccesary open windows.
Create a link, using the "java -Xmx512M blah_blah" command line as destination and the directory containing NearInfinity-blah.jar as working directory.
Otherwise, I believe that using 'start java -Xmx512M blah_blah' will cause the DOS window to be closed after the program is started.

I have a weird problem with NI ever since I started using it on my new pc. 

When I'm in a script and I'm scrolling up and down some of the text will disappear until I highlight with the cursor.  In bams I might be able to see the first frame of a sequence but when I go to the next frame I can't see it, or the next or the next etc even though there are frames to see.

Sometimes at the bottom of the screen the source directory address is half missing i.e I will see nothing and then half of the e in Blackisle and the rest of the address \BGII - SOA\Override etc

It seems to be slightly better using the BP NI patch (it allows NI to use more memory (?) or something) but still not great.

Anybody any ideas or recommendations for this problem?

bat contains:  java -Xmx512M -jar NearInfinity-1.33b19-1.jar
