Ye Olde Inn

Iam trying to install HQGM, but it keeps coming up with cannot create the following file C:/windows/fonts/caxtonbold.$$A. Any help would be appreciated

You may wish to contact Keld. He wants all support to go through his site so he knows what may need improving. Hard to get a hold of, just to forewarn you.

I've been playing around with HeroQuest Game Master the last couple days, and I've run into a problem with Barak Tor -- Barrow of the Witch Lord. Every time I trigger the falling block trap in the upper-left corner of the board, the program crashes, giving me the message, "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch". I think it's a problem with how conditional triggers interact with falling block traps, but I've spent about an hour and a half fiddling with the quest's code tonight, and I still can't figure out what's wrong. Does anyone know how to fix this? Failing that, does anyone know how to get into the program's conditional trigger code so I can try to figure out what isn't working right?

just remake the quest by yourself with the editing tool. I have remade all the official quests by myself, so there's no bug !

PS : Game master is a so wonderful tool, so wonderful !!!

There's definitely a bug...otherwise, I wouldn't need help fixing it. (And yes, it still does it if I start from scratch.)

What version of the program were you using? I have 2.6, which, as far as I know, is the most recent. Maybe there's an older one where it worked properly.

well, I think I have the same version but under windows vista.
Perhaps you have delete a file... When you're adding some elements to the program, it could happens... It has happened to me. Try to reinstall the application...

Otherwise, you can try to use an older version, but, in my opinion, there would be more bug in older version/...

Hmm...I don't think I've deleted anything. I'm still not sure how to explain it.

Oh well. I managed to create a workaround by coding it as an "Add Item -- Rock Blockade" instead of a falling block trap. I still wish I knew what made the proper method malfunction, though. Thanks anyway.

Have you tried contacting Keld? His email is at the bottom of this page.

I have, but not at that e-mail address. Thanks!

Hey, Medic, I know this topic is a year old, but I'm having the same problem and I was wondering if you got a response and were able to install the program.

Thanks,

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. Instead of just double-clicking on the icon to Open it, I had to right-click and select Run As Administrator. I feel like such a technological idiot sometimes.
