*Selection Lists Dont Appear in Loathing*

Post by BambooStew22 »

*I duely apologize for my furlough... I was arrested and and apparently my response "This is America isnt it?" wasn't a successful defense to countless contrabands :lol: lol but now Im back !!!! so ill get right to da nails; I have completed the color map and elevation and shadow etc for my Barbarian Forge map--- but when I select multiple UNITS or SCENERY or MODELS I do not have the tiny drop down list allowing me to select which one to place--- I only can place the first UNIT or SCENERY or MODEL imported.... I am perplexed?? :shock: ?? any advice wizards?

What OS are you on? (Windows 7, Mac OSX, etc) What version of Loathing are you using? There used to be an issue on older versions of Loathing where windows would start appearing off screen.

Loathing doesn't have patches so you mean latest version. So that would be 1.7.2. Try this fix. It is a zip with a "reg" file that will edit your registry values for Loathing on Windows.

the "fix" didn't work :( a prompt showed up that said "could not access registry" I have no idea why it would be spawning windows off screen :evil:

What version of Windows? (XP, Vista, 7, etc) Right click on the file for the fix and see if the option for "Run as Administrator" is available.

Then I don't know why that registry file can't be used. Is your XP comp updated? Right click on "My Computer" and select Properties. In the section that says Windows XP does it say "Service Pack 3" under it? Does the user account you use even have admin rights?

If you go to Start and click on Run, then type "regedit". Hit enter. Does it open up the Registry Editor?

Why not just use the mac... clearly a far superior operating system environment to work in... :P
