Post by luke11685 »

When I'm trying to open for example Autoplay.unr map format file extension as one of game maps from Jazz Jackrabbit 3 alpha demo Unreal Editor 1 level scene is blank. Do you know why and how fix and solve this problem guys?

If it works like UEd 2.0 (it's been a while since I used 1.0), that means it lacks a package somewhere and aborts opening the map midway through.
You should be able to find what it's missing in editor.log (if it exists for 1.0).
You must construct additional pylons.

Cmd: MAP LOAD FILE="C:\Users\£ukasz\Downloads\Jazz3\Maps\Autoplay.unr" REDRAW=OFF
Warning: Failed to load 'C:\Users\£ukasz\Downloads\Jazz3\Maps\Autoplay.unr': Can't find file 'C:\Users\£ukasz\Downloads\Jazz3\Maps\Autoplay.unr'

I'm guessing it doesn't like that special character in path name, try moving autoplay.unr to base directory: C:\

But Jazz3 folder and Downloads are already located in C:\ direction. So what's wrong with it? By the way Unreal Engine/Editor 1 is old and outdated, but still timelessly awesome so it's not my fault that it's not working properly. Speaking of bugs. I hope you don't blame me.

It's nobody's fault, old versions of the Unreal Engine are known for having problems using filepaths with special characters or spaces in them. In you case, the £ in 'C:\Users\£ukasz\' is probably preventing it to reach Autoplay.unr.

As dots advised, try moving Autoplay.unr to C:\ (so the path is C:\Autoplay.unr). If the editor then manages to open it, then you'll know that was indeed the root of the problem.

So can you tell me exactly what went wrong?I checked my posting activity,but I'm not sure did I mention that model animations of Jazz,Turtle and Lizard went missing? I checked it in Unreal Model Viewer,but I found only some textures and nothing else in every unreal script located in System folder.

You should relocate the entire game. This £ character being in the path will cause even more problems down the line. Install the game in C:\Jazz3 and then resume your work. Otherwise, the game will keep failing at reaching its own resources.

It seems I have no authority to download it in C:\ directory. I tried in D:\ directory and it's working now.

If you name your user as Lukasz and not [ch321]ukasz it would work. Guess you are first person i know doing such stuff. No matter what your mother language is, system-wide names etc. should never have any language specific letters.

So today I started some reading of for example creating maps in unreal engine 1 however this error message popped-up and even downloading file and copy and pasting in right folder direction where I downloaded and extracted jj3d demo didn't help even running as administrator. I was trying btw. Any ideas how to fix it? It happened when I was trying to open classes list.
