Popular Post ThirstOfBlood 23 Posted January 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I recently updated the game to cm patch 1.60 and installed the s2ee as well. I had the previous version of enchanted spells and I had some personal tweaks for some of them which requiremed me to edit the global.res file. I had no problem with the spells.txt file but I cant seem to be able to edit the global.res file What I did was: 1. Run s2rw in the locale en folder. 2. Decode and get a notepad with all in game texts 3. Replaced in notepad whatever needed replacement for my tweaks 4. Encode with the "all texts" option. 5. Make a backup and delete the old global.res file, renamed the new one as global.res However when I enter the game none of my changes appear and if I decode the global.res again its just like the original one. Is there something im doing wrong? NOTE: I found one of my old edited global.res ( the one with new EN etc in its name ) and it had a + sign ( unlike the one I did today ). I dont know what that means. Beside that, I tried to copy the classic icons from the first enchanted spells mod and they dont change at all. Id appreciate any help. Thx. EDIT: Managed to solve the global.res problem after checking all the posts about it again. I didnt run the encoding from the system folder. Still trying to change the icons with no result. EDIT 2: unlike in the first version of enchanted spells, the spell and runes icons were in a zip. Didnt notice that in the first place. Everything is solved now.

I didnt run the encoding from the system folder. How do I "run the encoding from the system folder" Also I am not able to execute by "pront comand" P.S: In the pront always this message appears ... "is not recognized as an internal or external command, an operable program or a batch file." Edited March 1, 2019 by vagnerhammer Link to comment
vagnerhammer 39 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 People!!! Help me!!!! When I open "S2rw.v1.7" by cmd it gives "access denied" ... Help!!!! Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 This looks like a Windows permissions issue. It looks like you have this program installed in Windows\System32 - this is not the correct location and could explain why you've had so many issues. That folder is a highly protected folder in Windows. The Program Files folder can also be protected and cause numerous issues with mods. You need to have S2rw in your Sacred install folder, inside the sub-folder called "system" I recommend to always install games somewhere like "C:\" or in a custom folder like C:\Games 1 Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Actually, it looks like he's trying to run the tool in Windows/System32, whereas the game is installed in C;\Program files\etc... Hopefully following the below instructions is sufficient to help him out. 3 hours ago, Flix said: You need to have S2rw in your Sacred install folder, inside the sub-folder called "system" 1 Link to comment

vagnerhammer 39 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Solution In Windows 10 we have to activate developer mode to solve constraints. 1 Link to comment
thejynxed 30 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yes, in Win10 64 at least you will get that message because the OS by default runs userspace applications in a restricted permission mode, this is a good thing, but a PITA at the same time to remember to turn it back off after you're done with things like Visual Studio. 1 Link to comment

That folder is a highly protected folder in Windows. Flix ... You're absolutely right. Yesterday I arrived in the swamp dragon with the "Dragon Mage" ... It worked perfectly. On my machine I now have two sacred installations ... one in the "Program Files" and another in "C: / Games" as you have instructed. I immediately checked the "Program Files" installation and the problem still exists in it. So even the issues of "dragon do not attack" ended up being settled by the issue of the permissions. I ask pardon ... Immense gratitude for the help... 1 Link to comment
