[EO] frmMainGame Help

[willscarlet]

Hello, I am trying to go into my frmMainGame source to edit a few things, but when I open the frm file, I get the error message saying 'Errors during load. Refer to frmMainGame.Log for details'. In the frmMainGame.log files it has:

Line 1668: Class RichTextLib.RichTextBox of control txChat was not a loaded control class

Line 1714: Class MSWinsockLib.Winsock of control Socket was not a loaded control class.

Once I clear the error message I am unable to view the source or the objects within the source file. If I 'run' the project I get the same error message as before, but at least is allows me to view the source afterwards, but still not the objects.

Can someone please tell me how to correct this error so I can add objects to the frmMainGame?

Thank you very much for your time and help

Try downloading a new copy of EO and put it on your desktop, and open the source.

Have you edited frmMainGame at all?

If you're using VB6 Portable, which is an illegal re-pack of VB6, [you need to install VB6Cli.exe from the Microsoft website to bypass the licensing issues.](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194751)

Make sure you've installed the library files properly and Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6.

Excuse you but I was asking a common question which sometimes results in a common answer.  I dont need you linking me to a topic, I already have read and understand.

I needed more details about his problem, I will ask, and I dont need you quoting me to a topic that does not apply.

It is sounding like your source nolonger has those components installed. 

Open up your client side source, then click on the Project tab at the top of the screen and scroll down to the components button or  (hit control+T) for the short cut to it.

Scroll down a bit until you find those two controls and make sure they have a check mark next to them.  If they are check marked already then I got some questions for you.

1.) is this the first time you opened the source or have you been using it for a while and suddenly you just started getting these errors?

No point telling him to re-download the source when it's an obvious licensing issue, bro.

Hello, I thank you all for your help so far in this matter. I did try re downloaded the source anyways just to see if it would work and it did not.

As far as a bad/illegal copy of VB6 I have the same version that I have been using since college about 4 years ago. It was the version that was provided with our text books. Do I need to download a new one? If so, would you be so kind as to link me to a good download?

As always, thank you all for your time and help.
