Now I'm getting the same error message as Somatic

I DO NOT have a cracked version and it's fully updated (AFAIK).
I installed the latest NewGen directly over my old one. I was unaware that I was using the previous .exe file.
The old exe name is NewGen WorldEditor.exe.
The latest one is NewGen WE.exe.

I just switched over to using the latest one (because when reading Somatics thread I looked for the Common.J file to help him with his problem,) only to find that I too did not have the common.j file in my main folder. And that I was using a two month old exe file.

Now I'm getting the same error with the latest NewGen.
I can still access NewGen with the older one.

I'm going to try a fresh install to a different directory to see if things are conflicting.

Edit: Fresh NewGen install seems to fix whatever the problem was. Must've been Retarded User Error or something.
 
>>I installed the latest NewGen directly over my old one.
You don't need to install NewGen. Just extract your newgen folder to somewhere else can run the NewGen WE will do. And, why directly over to your old one? You could just extract it to somewhere else other than the old folder...

>>I'm going to try a fresh install to a different directory to see if things are conflicting.
Yeah, same directory may produce conflication.

>>Fresh NewGen install seems to fix whatever the problem was. Must've been Retarded User Error or something.
Case close?
 
install == extract into a directory

I thought I'd save some HD space by installing over the old one. I know. I saved 45kb thats way! I know!

Like I said. Must've been that dang Retarded User Error.
 
>>I saved 45kb thats way! I know!
Just delete the old one will do.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
