Cannot run VGExtremeRadar or ResourceHud : VGExtreme General Discussion
Posted: May 20th, 2007

When I try to run extreme radar, the window switches to VG, and I see a window flash briefly on the taskbar. In Exhume (VGExtreme version), I get the following messages in the debug window:

Start script...
Attempting find the VG:SOH window...
Success! VG:SOH Found ...
Known Harvesting Nodes Loaded...
Error: Line: 127, Char: 8 :: Out of string space: 'TypeName'
Error: Line: 127, Char: 8 :: Out of string space: 'TypeName'
Failed to Run Script.
End script

The cursor gets placed in this section of radar_hud.vbs

Code: Select all

    'Protected public members
    Public Property Get RadarWindow()
        If IsObject(m_oRadarWindow) And TypeName(m_oRadarWindow)<>"Nothing" Then
            Set RadarWindow = m_oRadarWindow
        Else
            Set RadarWindow = Nothing
        End If
    End Property
The program ResourceHUD gives a very similar error. After switching to the VG window, it draws the resource window on the screen with a black border and nothing inside (even being near a resource). It stays up for a few seconds, then disappears. Get the following error in the debug pane:

Error: Line: 206, Char: 4 :: Out of string space: 'typeName'

Again, the cursor is placed on the sixth line here:

Code: Select all

sub paintIt
   Dim x
   Dim y
   y = 0
   x = 0
    if (isObject(ResourceWindow) and cStr(typeName(ResourceWindow)) <> "Nothing") then
        hDC = ResourceWindow.GetDC
        SetBkColor hDC, RGB(255,255,255)
        SetTextColor hDC, RGB(255,255,0)
        SetBkMode hDC, 0
        ResourceWindow.Invalidate True
        sleep 5

        For i = 1 To 15 
            y = 0
            y = y + (15*(i - 1))
            execute("TextOut hDC,x,y,TextOutLine" & i) 
        Next

        ResourceWindow.ReleaseDC(hDC)  
        NeedUpdate = false
    end if
end sub
Running XP x64, manually registering VGEhelper.dll and Exhumehelper.dll, tried compatibility mode for vgextreme.exe, updatevgextreme.exe and exhume.exe as Windows XP, Windows 2000 and none. Tried deleting all files but the update program. Tried doing keyword searches in the forums and found no similar problem.

I renewed my Tault membership solely for these programs, but am unable to get them functioning. Please help!

EDIT: It seems to be giving a similar error with any script that is generating another window. Scripts that do not rely on additional windows seem to execute fine, like Wyvernx's partial crafting script.

I'm sorry beargeek, I do not have XP x64 to test with.

How much free RAM do you have with VG and VGE running?

with both running i have about 1367000K available physical memory (3GB total). Starting the script hardly touches my memory utilization; there is some other bug.

Like I said at the end of my original post, this happens with any script I've tested that tries to create a window. Scripts that simply execute commands or read memory locs seem to work fine.

Well, not being able to test anything, I did a quick google search and the only similar error I could find was JScript throwing "Out of String Space" when using TypeName. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful :(

I have XP x64 through MSDN but I will have to see if I have enough spare parts that I can build a machine out of that will run VG.
