TES4Gecko 15 Discussion Thread

[SACarrow]

I have (with dev_akm's approval) released TES4Gecko 15; the announcement thread is here on BSF. This is an open thread for TES4Gecko 15 discussion and complaints.

I finally got it downloaded today. So far it looks pretty darn awesome.

Hello. I've just started using the newest version of TES4Gecko. Converting plugins to masters works fine, but every time I try to merge a plugin into a master file I get the message "Oblivion-Gecko.index" cannot be found (Access is Denied). Do you know what could be causing this?

By the way I am using Vista. I have heard that this may cause problems.

[SACarrow]

I do not (and will not) have Vista. If anyone can give me a clearly-written HOWTO of installing Gecko under Vista, I will include it with credit. AFAIK Gecko must be installed under the C:\ (or equivalent) drive, not under Program Files, where Vista security comes into play.

HTH,
Steve

That's correct.

I use Vista as well without a problem, the "Oblivion-Gecko.index" is automatically created by the Gecko.

Since you get an error that indicates an "acces denied" problem check your security settings for the Gecko folder.

Thankyou very much both of you.

I moved it to the C:/ directory and the message no longer displays. However, it now says it is "out of memory: Java Heap Space". Is there some way I can assign it more memory, or is this not really the problem?

Add a similar line to the properties of your shortcut: "C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe -Xmx1024m -jar "C:\Temp\Oblivion\TES4 Gecko WDS\TES4Gecko.jar"". Replace the latter part with your Gecko install path.
The "C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe -Xmx1024m -jar" part arranges the memory assignment.

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Do you add it into the "target" box or the "start in" box?

The location of my copy is:

"C:\temp\TES4Gecko 15.2\TES4Gecko.jar"

What should the full line of code be to set up the memory?

Sorry for being such a total noob, I've never had any dealings with Java before. ?(

The target box.

It should look like this (exactly): C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe -Xmx1024m -jar "C:\temp\TES4Gecko 15.2\TES4Gecko.jar"

Thanks again Sandor. I have done exactly what you said, but it still says access is denied. I have tried ticking every box in the permissions list of the security section, but this had no effect.
