CD3/DD3 buttons missing

IanBear

So, I just upgraded my PC, and reinstalled CC3- which went much better than the first time :P But now everything is there, I still have one problem- when I create a new map, the buttons to swap between CC3, CD3 and DD3 are missing. How can i turn these back on?

Thanks,

Ian

Try runnig the Upate 9 again and see if that restores the buttons.

IanBear

no joy,any other suggestions?

Try to run the CC3MenuConfig.exe file found in your CC3 directory. Note that this file just runs, then exits, do not expect it to pop up a dialog box or tell you anything.
Then re-run CC3.

IanBear

hmm, no joy either, although i have no idea if running that file did anything!

Monsen

Does your CC3 directory contain the city.mnu and dungeon.mnu files?

IanBear

yep, c/profantasy/cc3- both files are there. there is also another menu config file, i've run that too now, still no luck:(

IanBear

any other bright ideas?

Monsen

In the subdirectory called system inside your CC3 directory, you should have 2 files, menu.cfg and online.cfg. Try to temporary remove (rename) online.cfg, and then run CC3MenuConfig.exe again. If that fails, put online.cfg back, and temporarily remove menu.cfg insted, then rerun the utility.

IanBear

still nothing

Then I am out of ideas unfortunately. I would suggest you try to contact ProFantasy Tech Support directly.

IanBear

ok cool, thanks for your help

IanBear, do you have access to DD3/CD3 features at all? Or is it just the buttons?

If the former, try reinstalling them. I noticed when I was dealing with installing to my Windows 7 machine I had to install CC3 by itself, open it, and save the welcome page, and then close the program so you can install the add-ons. Something about saving the welcome page helps the add-ons find the right install folder (I am not savvy enough to know what). Otherwise only symbols install without the rest of the features.

IanBear

I have the rest of the features, I just have to manually select the program from the main menu rather than use the nice simple buttons. It's no biggie, but it is frustrating me!

i have a similar problem with all the symptoms but i got not from re-installing but installing the dd3 in the first place

Try running the CC3ConfigMenu.exe file (the one in the CC3 program folder), by right-clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator". Does that make any difference in getting the buttons?

IanBear

nope, still does nothing
