Unable to start SSAM:TFE using data from Steam

Open monreal opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

When I try to start SSAM:TFE I get the following:

Cannot open file '/home/monreal/ssam-tfe/TexturesMP/General/MenuBack.tex' (No such file or directory) ()

I copied the following GRO-Files from my Steam-Installation: 1_00c.gro, 1_00c_Logo.gro, 1_00c_scripts.gro, 1_00_ExtraTools.gro, 1_00_music.gro, 1_04_patch.gro

I can start the game if I also copy SE1_00.gro from SSAM:TSE.

May I know whether you had the ModEXT.txt file in the directory when you encounter this issue? AFAIK, ModEXT.txt is only required for TSE, not TFE.

I do not have a ModTXT.txt file for TFE. Is there any other file besides the GRO files I need for TFE?

Did you copy SE1_10.gro from the repository?

I did not... I did not manage to get the game to start up when I tried to run it from the source directory and now I realize why... I think I copied the *gro files to the Bin directory instead of the root directory. The readme just says to copy "to the repository".
