Dont know if This is the right place to ask, but i thought id try anyway. Ive installed bp-bgt with almost every addon that is believed to be compatible with it.

Ive used NI before to fix problems with my games, and i have used it with my current game earlier to give some bg1 npc's their bg2 soundset for example. Then my windows xp crashed and i had to format my drive and reinstall. I had my games on a separate volume so they were all fine. But when i reinstalled windows xp my volume labels changed from "c:\games\bgii - soa" to"e:\games\bgii - soa". But to get my bg2 to work i had to resinstall it on volume e: to get it into the registry in windows. Otherwise i couldnt play it.

Now when i open the chitin fey file everything works just as before, except the save games. I cant open the .gam file then i get the error:

"
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: wrong parent for CardLayout
at java.awt.CardLayout.checkLayout(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.CardLayout.show(Unknown Source)
"
I have been able to open the .gam file earlier when it was installed on the c: drive. Does anyone have a clue were the problem might be and if i can fix it?

Check your version of Java. I discovered that the 5.0 version of Java doesn't work well with NI. You have to have the 1.4 or so version. It is a different SDK or package to download. The NI website pointed me to the right version, just going to the java.com website pointed me to the wrong version.

Interesting. What version of NI do you use SirBillyBob?

I use NI v1.33 beta 18 and it works perfectly with J2SE Runtime 5.0 but not with JRE 1.42.

Thanks sir billybob, i can open the baldur.gam files with 1.4.
Strange that 5.0 works perfectly for you Ascension64, cause i did use 5.0 when it didnt work.

I am using 1.32, I try to stay away from betas (I have too many of them to already deal with).

Move to 1.33beta immediately It's so much better, you won't regret it, did not hit a single bug there yet. I would rather call 1.32 beta and 1.33 final than the other way round...

Yacomo, do you use J2SE Runtime 5.0?

Why don't you home us in on a download link to the new beta, eh bud?

@Ascension64: Yes, I am using Java 1.5 (build 1.5.0-b64).

@Horred: The beta is hidden here (use the '1.32.1 beta' link). The label is wrong however, there is 1.33 behind it

Oh good. At least someone else has the same NI setup as I do.

Subtle huh?

I use the 1.33 version NI with Java build 1.5 as well. But I've noticed that I doesn't support the editing of (BP-BGT-NEJ) multiplayer savegames. Is that because it's a 'beta'?

I've sent a mail to Jon as well but so far no reaction...
