Couldn't create art surface when the sprite exists

[A-Man]

Nope, I don't use any dll (except the AI ddraw.dll if that counts). And nope, all the sprites I am using are bitmap-s. Will try changing the names and see if that works, though the exe loaded the "---" files successfully.

@Davis: Here you go:

Try with [...] smaller bitmaps

This.

I remember, (gather around, children, story time!) I once had created a character that was able to perform a background-wide attack. You know, the thing that knocks out your opponents regardless of where they are. The sprite that went with it was something like 5000x1000 pixels. Locally, I had no problems booting up the game but when I tested it on a different computer, it threw the same error at me.

Long story short: make sheff3.bmp smaller. Either by removing unnecessary clutter (e.g.: I see only 14 sprites in there) or by splitting up the file into two.


@v: I hope you mean 16bit and 24bit-images. Else, you'd have some pretty poor colors
Also, if I recall correctly, 1.9 accepted 4bit-colored images as well. Mad compressing

Could be cause of large bitmaps

Oh hi, dude this happened to me before when the text data file gets overloaded.
Can you just post the data.txt here
sometimes when the number of type:0 goes to more than 100 this happens...

[Rhino.Freak]

the data.txt is present in the first post alreadeh!

also I don't get this error while playing the same version, (i use win XP)

[qwertz143]

^ no the whole data.txt
just need to count the amount of type:0 's
example: it gets stuck at data/OP/shksball.dat
I need to know how many data files were till that
that is not given...

there must be a little capital letter mistake or hash

I guess i am getting whats happening there. Ninja Explosive have replaced some resources with other which are larger in size, and this seems to be the reason for that error (error 2). Though still, for some reason its working on some PCs. I tried the game with a non-designed exe, and everything seems to work fine for everyone.
Deemed solved!

Thanks everyone for trying to help!
