Error running DO with mod tool switches

[DarkStar]

When I try to start DO with the -tilegen or -mapgen parms I get an error stating that my computer can't display 800x600 16-bit video mode.

I set my computer to that mode and try again, and I get the same problem. DO works fine if I'm just running it as a game without the parms for the mod tools.

Any ideas? Anyone else run into this?

Any ideas? Anyone else run into this? <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It works fine on my system, but my copy crashes if any other program is using the soundcard, have you tried shutting down other programs in the background? it might be a simillar conflict..

Just to be sure: Are you using the 1.06 patch? History.txt has a related bug fix (1.01):
7. Fixed - Added code to help when a machine cannot deal with 16bit color.

I'm running V1.06, I'll check the sound card problem, and make sure I'm not running anything the in the background.

Thank for the info. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
