Logon problems with new logon!!

Thursday, January 31, 2002 by Snowman | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Im trying to mix my first Logon together but when ever I try to test (log off/restart) the new logon I keep getting this message:
´Parser message
Value creation failed " at line 198´
I guess that referres to line 198 in the UIFILE.txt, or what?! Anyways line 198 looks like this:
" background: rcbmp(113,7,#ff00ff,0,0,1,0);"

This is what I have done/changed so far:
I created a new logon with the Standard template in LongonStudio and have only changed the background (contentcontainer) and the "icons" (usericonplaceholder/selected). The backgrund is 1280X1024 and the "icons" are 58X58 (no transparency), all 16 mill. colors bmp's.
What am I doing wrong?!?!?!? *sigh*

I've been getting the same problem all day!! I thought my version of LogonStudio was corrupted so I wiped it off and downloaded the latest version. Now it doesn't work at all.
I have a whole stack of logons waiting, and I can't do anything now. AARRGGHH!!

Actually Snowman, now that you mention it, I don't think I had a problem until I started changing "usericonplaceholder/selected"......Hmmmmmm.....
Verrry interesting.....

Ah-ha! I never could change that graphic. In every version of Logonstudio. Whenever you try, it gives a bunch of errors. And if you try to open the user icon placer image that is premade in Photoshop, PS tells you that it's not a valid file. Anyway, realy weird. I gave up on it and left it alone since then.
(the only way to fix your logon now is to put back a valid user icon placer image - just copy-paste it from another working logon).

I have the same problem as you are, but suddenly everything works just fine with "usericonplaceholder"... don't ask me what I have done, because I didn't do anything to fix it, it is fixed alone, really strange...but at least it works now.

dont do anything with the placeholders cos if you mess with those you'll get errors out the ass. If you need to switch the colours the only way that I've found so far to do so is manually in the file.
