Ok will do Wrye, thanks. :nod:

I have upgraded to Python 2.5 and also the latest version of Mash (at the same time). Everything is running fine except that the last Morrowind save is always red.

I so hate my computer now.

Well i will stick with 2.4 from now on, the funny thing is though that wxPython2.8-win32-ansi-2.8.0.1-py25
used to work for me aswell!? Oh well like i said i will stick to 2.4 from now on. :nod:

I had the same problem and solved following this (Microsoft Support):
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B324767&x=10&y=10

I had to follow only the first 4 steps of method 1 to solve it, hope it helps

Edit: I forgot to tell this solution is for windows xp

Both python and wxPython are 32 bit programs. So, I have no idea why anyone would get a 16 bit msdos complaint. And I personally haven't seen such an error (while I run under 2.4, I have both 2.4 and 2.5 with matching wxPython installed). However, I suppose that it's possible that someone messed up one of the recent wxPython installs, leaving some 16 bit stuff in. :shrug:

But, python 2.4 works fine (maybe better), so that's the simplest solution if you run into this problem.

Wrye Bash now has a PM Archive tab which allows you to collect your old PM Archives (html format only), sort them by author, date or subject. Best of all you can type in a search term and instantly filter down to the list of matching PMs.

I'll probably eventually integrate this feature into Mash and/or release it as a stand alone application. But for now, if you have Oblivion installed, you can use Bash for this if nothing else. And if you don't have Oblivion installed, start saving your pm archives anyway (if you're not doing so yet).

If interested, please see (and post) on http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=773694 topic.

I've been playing Morrowind for 6 years and have had to constantly switch characters (every couple of months or so) because my games would get too glitched up over time. Now I can finally keep a saved game for good! ^_^

Wrye Mash, I love you <3

New Version: 79: Misc. Tweaks, German Update
Looks like my previous release was almost a year ago! I'm sure Oblivion and especially Cobl will drag me back in before too long. Anyway...
* Bash to Mash Retrofit.
..* Update Doc Browser.
..* Add autoquit button.
..* Refactor bish
..* Settings: 'wrye.mash' >> 'mash'
* Misc. Changes
..* Changed dialog to export by topic.
* New: Export/Import Scripts
* Updated German translation by DWS.

German translation dates back to April. I think that I promised DWS that it would go into next release. (Didn't think it would be this long before next release. (Hmm... I hope that DWS indepedently redistributed the translation file in the meantime...)

Bash has now pulled far ahead of Mash in terms in a lot of ways. Back in November, I ported some of those advancements back to Mash. But it looks like I didn't get very far. Main changes is to the Doc browser, which is now a little slicker.

Also Mash now has an autoquit button that will cause Mash to quit while launching Morrowind (put an X in the red box in the status bar). I really haven't tried this much, but it seems like there may be a small problem with Morrowind not coming to the foreground properly while launching. If this starts to happen, try doing an alt-tab and that may fix it. (Or just don't use auto-quit!)

Script export/import is pretty much self explanatory. This will export all scripts from the selected mod file to a single text (.mws) file. You can then edit that file and then re-import it. HOWEVER, after re-importing, you must recompile (in TESCS) any scripts that have been changed. If you've changed a lot, then recompile all may be the simplest thing to do -- but beware of http://wrye.ufrealms.net/GMST%20Vaccine.html#SignRotateContamination of course.

NOM Update and Script/Dialog Importing/Comparison
First a reminder: If you need to do a LOT of changes to dialog (spell checking, grammar, etc.), then Mash's "Export/Import Dialog feature is tremendously useful. Using this, you can export all of your dialog (including greetings, journal entries, etc.) to a text file; then edit the text file; and finally reimport the text file. This is also quite useful if you want to communicate changes to someone else. (*cough* Gluby)

The new script export/import feature is similarly useful for mass changes in scripts. E.g. Gluby sent me a bunch of separate text files for scripts. I concatenated these into a single file, then tweaked it slightly to fit the expected format, then imported that file and recompiled in TESCS. (Much easier than a bunch of separate cut and pastes.)

Note that these two features are also very useful for comparing two versions of a mod: Just export dialog/scripts from the old version of the mod, then repeat with the new version of the mod. E.g. for Gluby's Nom changes, I exported to Nom Old.mws and Nom New.mws. Then I compared those two files using WinMerge.

Excellent. Great to see the essential tool is still in development!

Tag!

great to see this update. Mash started getting jealous of bash on my desktop.

Ha! Blender, NifTools, PyFFI forced me to upgrade to 2.5 long ago and it works fine And a new Mash version!

Never again will I copyedit a mod without using Mash's import/export function. Thanks again for that update.

Thanks for the update, Wrye

And you only had to wait 10 months for me to include your german update! Heh. Sorry about that. :shakehead: Next time, if it's not in after nine months, let me know.

Well, I've used this tool many times in the past, but I recently bought myself a new laptop that came with Windows Vista. I'm not sure if that's the problem, but when I try to start Wrye Mash, I get the infamous flashing black window. I've done all the steps instructed to make it work - I have the latest version of Python, .net framework, have all the targets correct in the shortcut and nothing altered in my mash or python folders. Morrowind is in the standard directory, if that helps any.

Is this a common issue with Windows Vista or something, or did I do something wrong? If you need the bug dump, I can try to get it and post it here.

Thank you for your patience.

I don't have this issue, so don't know what to tell you.

Neither do I. Where did you install Morrowind and do you have UAC enabled?

Morrowind's in the default location and I have UAC off.

Thanks for the update. Downloaded and running just fine. I even got the right click to work in WINE with a little help from Wine-Doors. So I can keep a super-tidy save with neat level lists.

I'd recommend to post the bug dump. It wouldn't hurt in any case.

Nevermind, I solved my problem. :^)

OK, my turn...

I've got the python files needed, and a fresh v.79 installer, which were installed according to the readme instructions (onto a fresh XP/SP2 install, BTW, and my MW directory is in the default location). Neither shortcut will launch the app, but they do say that the app can't be found. The bugdump shows nothing; I tried remapping the shortcut, but no luck there either ( but I'm not totally sure did I it correctly). I looked at the v.65 install on my old machine, and tried to duplicate that one the new machine/install target, but zero. I tried cut-n-pasting the whole Mopy file from the old install into the new one...again zip.

Now what?

... you changed the Python location in the shortcuts to suit where you installed it?

If you have Python in your path (you'll know if you do), can you run it from a shell (pythonw mash.py)?

Never mind, I got it working. ?Thanks for the advise, tho!
