zencq / NomNom

NomNom is the most complete savegame editor for NMS but also shows additional information around the data you're about to change. You can also easily look up each item individually to examine its attributes, independently of a savegame, or get other useful information that are not related to a specific savegame (but enhanced if one is loaded).

[Bug] New Install - "Welcome" blank, can't change options or configure #155

Closed aelfwyne closed 3 months ago

aelfwyne commented 7 months ago

Description

On a new install of NomNom (unable to test upgrading existing install), there is no text on the welcome screen. A blank box which is tall and narrow, with no dialog buttons appears with the title Welcome. It is 100% blank inside the box. Closing the box allows one to access the menus in the app, but settings changes don't save. I have tried setting the save folder, and it appears to set, but when I close settings and re-open it, the line is blank again. All items on the main screen are grayed out (presumably because I haven't configured the save folder). The three dot (...) button to set the folder does not respond. If the folder is typed manually it accepts input but doesn't save.

Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install files from latest beta6 for omega in an empty directory.
  2. Run NomNom.Exe
  3. See a blank welcome screen with no setup wizard.
  4. Attempt setup on the menu, it won't accept folder input for save folder.

Expected Behavior

Expected is that it can be configured and at least SEE the save files (which are Omega).

Files

It never gets to the point of even configuring the save folder, so save files are not relevant. No logfile is generated, although the Log folder is created.

Workaround:

Through a lot of trial and error I was able to manually configure the portable.config file. This issue appears to be present in all downloaded versions of 4.x.

Once I manually configured the portable.config file with all the relevant paths and platform, the program now recognizes my saves and appears to work.

Could you provide a paste of your manual configuration? I am running into a similar issue (NomNom splash screen shows up but then the app crashes). I'd like to see if this might fix it.

EDIT: managed to fix it. The only change I made was to the PathCollection variable. I pointed it to the correct location where NomNom.exe was and appended \collection.

Same issue here. My PathCollection variable was already set to the correct location for \NomNom\collection.

Deleting the entry in the config (or the entire file) should do the trick, otherwise skipping "Welcome" and selecting a folder manually (File -> Open) should work too
