Title: Ficedula's FF7music app
Post by: synt4x on 2002-09-02 01:26:40

Everything seems to be set up correctly. Module files in their correct directory, all of the music seems to be set up correctly, plug-ins (winamp cross fader and such) set up correctly, cetra patch applied. I can't find anything wrong, however when running FF7 I get the following two errors:



Runtime error at 217 at 1A780

and:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

From there, FF7 just completely exits. Does anyone have a similar problem? Is there any known fix to this?

I get the exact same thing.No matter which ff7 version i use.I think its an xp bug with CENTRA and not ff7music since i got it working just fine with version 1.05 build 1(someone gave it to me) which DOESNT need centra to work.Hope this helps :)

I would also like to note that the Runtime error occurs with nearly every one of Fice's programs

I too have a question about the FFVII Music thing that Ficedula made... I am pretty sure it has been asked before but I am asking it and I think that it should be moved to the FAQ section.

Where can I get the "ficedula.dll" file that Cetra needs to run?

My website, http://ficedula.cjb.net ... yes, it's been down a fair bit lately but it should definitely be up now. If not, tell me!

Ficedula, are there no fixes to this?

Herr Ficedula, I know it is supposed to be there, but where is it?  I looked through the whole site and didn't find it...

It is well hidden :)

If you click the "Libraries" link above the programs that need the DLL such as Cetra or Cosmo you will find the page to download the zip file containing the DLL. Here's the page link: http://www.warwickcompsoc.co.uk/~ficedula/tempsite/php/libraries.php?num=0

Just go to one of the programs (say, Cetra, since that's what you're trying to run ... Cetra is listed under "FF7 Programs" unsurprisingly) and you'll notice every program has a "Libraries" link above it. That'll take you to a page where you can download all the DLL's the program needs...in Cetra's case, just ficedula.dll.

synt4x: Do you have the latest version of Ficelib (ficedula.dll) ? If not, get it from my site (like I told Kendrilian how to) and try with that.


EDIT:
Synergy: Ah, I see you got in just before me! :D

Danka Schon Herr Synergy Blades and Ficedula.  That should have done it.

Kendrilian

Edit: I take it back I have the same problems as Herr Synt4x does now. I will try to run it in Win 98 and see if that fixes anything.

Edit II:  No it doesn't work... hmm..

Windows XP Pro
Pentium II 266
256 MB RAM
nVidia TNT2 M64, 32 MB
SoundBlaster Live (I think)

Gahh. I hope this isn't XP related, because I don't own or use XP, so I have no way to test things on it...

SoundBlaster Live (I think)

You wish, heh.  Remember, I sold you my SoundBlaster PCI 64 when I got my SoundBlaster Live?

Title: Ficedula's FF7music app
Post by: Kendrilian on 2002-09-06 01:33:02

Oh, yeah.  That's right SoundBlaster... um what he said.  It isn't XP related because I tried it in Windows 98 and it didn't work there either...

I think it should be "Danke schön"

Yeah, well.  Herr Mirex I don't ever take the time to get the "ö" in there...

In that case, I'm kinda stumped. Error 217 is a Control-C exception, which shouldn't happen at all in windowed (non-console) programs. I'll have a root around, but I haven't really got much to work from here...

Ahh ... right, that makes more sense, then. Thanks Jari; I didn't know about that! Might be able to do something about it then...

Will doing something about that help the second error though?

Title: Ficedula's FF7music app
Post by: ficedula on 2002-09-07 12:31:32

Maybe. Who knows? Could well do.

Title: Ficedula's FF7music app
Post by: Kendrilian on 2002-09-08 16:55:37

So, do we know what we are supposed to do yet.  Or is that still in debate...?

Title: Ficedula's FF7music app
Post by: synt4x on 2002-09-21 22:51:44

so is there any news regarding what has been happening so far?

Title: Ficedula's FF7music app
Post by: ficedula on 2002-09-25 00:10:36

Not really. I *am* doing some work on my apps (witness the new version of Ifalna that went up today) but FF7Music isn't really a priority at the moment; for a start, I need to get FF7 fully working on my system before I can test the patches on it ;)

Title: Ficedula's FF7music app
Post by: synt4x on 2002-09-25 00:22:01

well, thank you for the update :)

I certainly hope you are successful in finding and fixing the problem.

I am truely sorry for bringing this up again, however I still seem to be having this problem. Is there any way at all to fix this? I just wish to have an answer, and I'll stop being so stubborn about it.

I suppose I am just one of the unlucky ones who seem to get this error :(
