Zmodeler PKG Filter problem.

dummiesboy · Postby **dummiesboy** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 2:30 pm

I'm having a problem with Maxoff's PKG filter. After I extract pkg.zmf, the PKG filter doesn't appear in Zmodeler.

I tried reinstalling it, and Zomdeler then using it, but it still didn't work. I'm using v1.07b. Can anyone help?

Nothing special to do, when both files (Pkg.txt & pkg.zmf) are put from the filters folder of ZM, start it, then choose from the file menu, "export" > change the type to "Midtown Madness 2 (2006.02.27) (*.pkg)". Now you've the new options.

The PKG filter just isn't there. After I extracted it from the zip file, is didn't appear in the drop down menu. I think it might be corrupted. However, I have been using the filter for a long time now, and it just very recently disappeared for no reason, so I tried reinstalling Zmodeler, then this filter, and the problem is still there. I have no idea why it is doing this.

I'm having exactly the same problem with the Maxoff's PKG filter in my other PC with Windows Vista. To solve it I delete all the program folder (it's not installed) and then I re-copy my ZModeler 1.0.7b folder from my PC. I've also the original program one, renamed as pkg2.zmf, but the problem isn't given because of the use of two files of the same filter.
I don't know for what reason this happens, it happens after some times having used this filter. Maybe trying to remove the zmodeler.ini file from the Windows folder besides restore all the program settings would also solve this problem, but it would return.

Do you have Vista DB ? (if I can call you just like that)

I tried for the second time to use this filter and I didn't have errors (I'm using XP SP3).

If you remove the new one, the old appears from the export menu ?

Maybe you should write to Maxoff concerning this problem.

But maybe it's just a problem with Vista

I don't have vista, just XP.

After I rebuilt my laptop, the new PKG filter won't work properly.

This is a very strange problem. I'll try to PM Maxoff, and see if he knows anything. Thanks for your help, guys.

Yes. I also can't import with the new one.

Argh, so this new filter corrupted the old one

And indeed you can't fix ZM by reinstalling it (or maybe you must manually clean the register database to remove all traces of this software) because I remember my first bugs with ZM 1.05, it was a pain to use this one even by reinstalling it or by installing from another folder, newest version

Maybe Maxoff can help you.

That's a more complicated problem than the one that I have. Actually I see as the best solution the one to uninstall the ZModeler and re-install it to then place the Maxoff's filter renaming the file, to don't replace the program one.
About the try to remove the zmodeler.ini file from the Windows folder to solve this problem, I think that it doesn't work.

Yeah, it didn't work. I'll try to do the other thing you said.

Edit: What you said didn't work, Franch.

I've sent a PM to Maxoff to see if he can help.

Good choice, is better to let know to Maxoff this problem if he doesn't know it. But I doubt that he can release a fixed version of his PKG filter.

I never said he would release a new version, Just help fix the porblem.

Hey it is a little bit late but i can remember that niggie has send me 2 .dll files who will be placed in the system32 folder and in the Zmodeler folder.

and i can remember that these two files will solve the problem with the not appearing filter in the dropdown list.

should i upload them ?

dummiesboy · Postby **dummiesboy** » Sun May 24, 2009 6:09 pm

You could email them to me. I'll try them.

EDIT: Problem solved!!!

Those dll files you sent me fixed the problem! It also fixed the error I was having in this topic! You're great maks, thanks alot!
