Hello, I have another issue, sorry.
I downloaded Chocolate Box a little while after I finally fixed my Fable Explorer and Chocolate Box doesn't want to work either.
So, when I downloaded the cbox.zip file I downloaded ChocolateBox-x64.exe too because my computer is 64 bit, when i try to run the regular ChocolateBox.exe it just stops responding immediately, when i run ChocolateBox-x64.exe it gives me an error (yes i did put the x64.exe file in the cbox file with everything else).
This is the error:
Quote:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. System.NullReferenceExeption: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at ChocoloateBox.Settings.Load() at ChocolateBox.FormMain_Load(Object sender, Eventargs e)

Thanks for reading this I would really appreciate some help!

EDIT: I did just find where you can change the path of your game for chocolate box and changed to to my path.
Quote:

C:\Games\Fable The Lost Chapters

But I still get the same error.

Just one more thing, there's something weird in my ChocolateBox.INI
Quote:

[Settings]

FableRegistry = Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Fable\1.0
;MyPath = C:\Games\Fable The Lost Chapters


I don't know why there is a ; before MyPath. I tried deleting it and saving the INI file and booting ChocolateBox-x64.exe but a little window pops up saying

Your modding environment is not set up properly. Do you want ChocolateBox to fix it?

I click yes and a window pops up titled Extracting and it just stops responding there. I think I'm getting close to fixing this.

; means the current line is not used.

Cbox is using the registry to load, which is probably a wrong path. You can try to find the correct RegistryPath but it's up to you, I didn't mess with that in my case.

This is my correct one:

Quote:

[Settings]

;FableRegistry = Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Fable\1.0
MyPath = C:\Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters


As you can see the ; is now before FableRegistry instead of MyPath. Also you can see the \ at the very end is not needed for cbox. Razz

Yet, make sure you did use freeroam (eg etract your FinalAlbion.WAD) before loading cbox. There is some tutorial about it in the labelled section, you might check them. Wink

Okay thank you for the help. I'm using an fmp of free roam right now but I'll try the app too I guess. Also I put the ; in front of FableRegistry instead of MyPath

Oh wow I forgot all about this post. I'm just randomly seeing what I can find out about my cbox and it's issues. I also just re-downloaded it. So, I added the ChocolateBox-x64.exe to my cbox file because I'm on a 64 bit system. ChocolateBox.exe still stops responding exactly when I launch it. I also switched some stuff around in my ChocolateBox.INI. Like This:
Quote:

;FableRegistry = Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Fable\1.0
MyPath = C:\Games\Fable The Lost Chapters


When I boot ChocolateBox-x64.exe a window pops up and says:
Quote:

Your modding environment is not set up properly. Do you want ChocolateBox to fix it?

When this happens I can obviously choose, yes, or no. When I click no it says:
Quote:

Modding environment is not OK. Application will now exit.
When I click yes, a window called "Extracting," pops up. And it just stops responding there. Like I said I am using a fmp for free roam which works great in game, I'm not sure if I should use the free roam app, or leave it alone. The free roam app however doesn't work on my pc either. Also one more thing, I had ChocolateBox working on my old computer a couple years ago, and I don't think I had free roam straight from the free roam app.

Well, I have tried installing free roam from the free roam app and it isn't working. So, I open the FreeRoam.exe and under Extract I select TNG and Lev (Patched), then I click File, Open and I select my FinalAlbion.wad. Then after that I click the RIP! button and and I save the Fable Wad Dumper to data, then after I do that it gives me a error saying:

Then I can click details and this pops up below:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


I don't know what all this means but hopefully someone can help.
