[VISTA] OpenGL problem but worked 20 minutes ago[Solved]

[LichKing]

Okay so I was playing and I believe the problem was the resolution I changed it to. But I can't find the file to edit and change to be able to run tremulous once more.

Tried using the Search function yet?

[LichKing]

Yes but im using my friends vista 32bit and I can't find the autogen.cfg file or any file related where I need to change r_mode 4

[Lava Croft]

Open the Windows Explorer and enter %appdata% in the adress field. I think it takes you to a place somewhere near X:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\.

[LichKing]

Theres nothing there to help but I just can't find the command prompt on this vista but I can on my XP and I keep reading you can fix it with command prompt.

[Lava Croft]

There is nothing there because you probably cannot see hidden folders. Enable the showing of hidden folders somewhere in Explorer's options.

[LichKing]

No it opens the folder but I see nothing to do from there.

[Lava Croft]

Are you using a 'new' Tremulous.exe, or the Tremulous.exe as provided by the 1.1.0 installer?

In case of the first, your autogen.cfg should be somewhere around AppData, in a folder called Tremulous\
In case of the latter, your autogen.cfg will be in a folder next to your Tremulous.exe, called base\

But, since I don't use Vista, it's rather hard to troubleshoot this. I'll change your topic title to reflect this.

[LichKing]

It's th regular 1.1.0 and when I go to map folder all I find are maps and vms-1.1.0 and data-1.1.0 and I can't find it in app data

[LichKing]

I keep searching all folders for autogen.cfg and it cannot find the file at all

[Lava Croft]

You can also use the Search tool provided with Vista to search your entire computer for the file autogen.cfg

[PS] You can edit your own posts, so you do not have to doublepost

[LichKing]

Ya I kind forgot lol but where would I find the search tool because im using toolbar in folder that says search?I know the problem is I set the resolution to 1600 x 1200 but I can't get into tremulous to change it back

[gimhael]

I am not using Vista, but I have read that the Vista search tool only searches files that have registered extensions. So unless you have a program that registered *.cfg you won't find it.

You could open a cmd window and type the command

WHERE /R C:\ autogen.cfg

(assuming you have Tremulous installed on drive C:)

[LichKing]

Thank you so much it that was a very big help    I finally found it and deleted it

[Shadowgandor]

Yea, vista can be a bitch if you don't execute everything with administrator. Be sure to do that.
