Problem with running scripts on AMD desktop, Intel based Laptop working fine

I have a Intel based Mac Book Pro that is running everything perfectly even when running WinXP as a Virtual machine from Mac OS, and then I have an AMD based desktop that is getting error preprocessing script files when trying to launch some scripts, and other scripts just not functioning when ran (example: run autoharvest).

I have already reinstalled innerspace, and updated the script files through SVN.

It appears that innerspace and ISXEQ2 load and update properly, I am only having problems with it running scripts from ISXEQ2. I believe I was able to get separate extentions like radar to work.

Any help, suggestions, or comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Perhaps some usefull information? Like OS, or umm even the error message? Processor type doesn't mean anything as the processor is transparent. Heck if doritos made a x86 processor and windows supported it then you could even play on a dorito chip. (props to anyone that can get the reference)

The more important question is 'why'? Why go through all of this shit to run innerspace on a virtual machine on a mac os (if I understand everything you're saying)?

If scripts aren't running at all, you'll have to talk to Lax at lavishsoft.

Error Message Example

The exact error message I am getting after isxeq2 is loaded and the command "run myprices" is entered:
Could not open file C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\Scripts\myprices for preprocessing
Preprocessing failed on C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\Scripts\myprices
Failed to parse script 'C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\Scripts\myprices'
RunScript 'myprices' failed

I noticed that after cutting and pasting the scripts from the svn directory they were read only. I changed this in case the files needed to have write access.

and once again what OS as it was such a important question it was the first one I asked.

I am sorry I thought that would have been a given. Both systems are running Win XP Pro 32bit. The Mac dual boots into both a WinXP or MacOS partition, but of course EQ2, InnerSpace or ISXEQ2 would not be expected run in a Mac environment. I think I confused the issue in mentioning that my functional ISXEQ2 system is a Mac. The only problem I am having is with my PC that happens to have a AMD processor instead of an Intel.

I did it mainly out of curiosity to see if it would work. I do all my work related stuff in Mac OS and I already had a virtual Machine that would run Win XP sessions on top of MaC OS session. That worked perfectly on the first try. Now I can run ISXEQ2 at work on breaks and at Lunch.

The problem I am having is with running it on my PC desktop at home. This was the first system I tried to run it on and expected the least problems with. I am just looking for the reason why the same files that are running on the WinXP partition of my Mac Book Pro are not running successfully on my other WinXP PC. I should have figured it was not the processors since they are both x86 dual cores, but I did not recognize any other notable differences between the 2 systems. I was thinking permissions or read/write setting in the file system. I think I copied some hidden SVN marking files that seem to store or have something with the folder/file Icons when I cut and pasted the scripts, but did not think that would affect anything.

I will try to get help from the Lavishsoft contact you suggested if noone has any suggestions.

Otherwise I love isxeq2 and I am very impressed with the community and ingenuity of script and extension authors. You guys are greatly appreciated.

First make sure you have the latest greatest .net updates from windows update, 2nd did you happen to SVN from the mac and then copy it to your PC desktop? I wonder if that could of caused issues. If that's the case try to install SVN on the PC and give it a whirl.

Also make sure the script folder structure is good. Make sure to use run and not runscript for scripts.

Script Author: MyPrices
Noticed something....

Your error message says it's looking for the script in the main scripts folder , it's actually in the C:\Program Files\InnerSpace\Scripts\myprices\myprices.iss location...


if it won't work....try moving the myprices.iss into your main script folder and see what happens.

It's a 'hack' to get it working..but it'd be interesting to see what happens.

You'de be suprised. It's actually really easy to dual boot Macs with Bootcamp. From there, running EQ2 or any other windows program is no different than on a PC. I dual boot my Macbook for the sole purpose of running EQ2 (I put a couple instances on it and a couple on my desktop) and it works wonderfully.

Solution

I uninstalled and reinstalled Innerspace, ISXEQ2, everquest2.exe, and .NET. And then upon closer inspection of the Errors at loading I found that I was having an SSL authentication problem.

Error Text:
ISXEQ2 Subscription Active. Thank you!
. . . Please hold while the ISXEQ2 patcher checks for updates. . .
isxGamesPatcher: Starting (Ver. 20090703.0001 by CyberTech/Amadeus)
isxGamesPatcher: Checking isxGamesPatcher: 1 file in manifest. . .
isxGamesPatcher: Exception: System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

I was able to find a solution on this thread: http://www.isxgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3512&highlight=isxgamespatcher I downloaded the linked certificate files and installed them. Now ISXEQ2 loaded up and received its updates, and is fully functional.

Thanks guys

Gwall,

For future reference, leave out was doesn't matter. The fact that it works in a VM on a different machine... irrelevant, and distracting. Only the machine it failed on, and the actual error, were relevant.;)
