Hi Pete and Fi!
Fi for jumping in and offering to help.
My desktop is now at the puter dr and will take 3-5 days to get it back. Appreciate your stepping in to help.
Pete, I could always DL 1.3 onto my laptop so if the time comes and Fi is not available I'll be happy to do it. I did check the file you sent me and it transferred into my game on the laptop just fine so you did great with your practice zip.
Thanks again and hugs to you both.

Marilyn -- sorry bout your puter probs. Don't worry bout me -- Ann's running the fix and Spazza has offered also. So if Ann has any issues Spazza will help.

My thanks to all who have offered and to those who are helping.

That is great Pete!
I was expecting to have my desktop back again yesterday, but if you saw the message, I've run into a snag with my puter geeks. I'm sooooooo sorry to let you down.
I sooo appreciate Fi and Ann stepping in.
Big Karma Hug for all the bother.

I remember when i first used the fix i was really confused about how to get it to work

The instructions that came with it were really confusing - i finally did get it sussed (after many hours) - the instructions didnt say what i should be dragging into what & many times i was dragging everything around the wrong way

So thort this might help those learning how to work it -

ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR PLAYER FOLDER BEFORE USING THE FIX

After downloading - scanning & extracting the Mte Stat Fix Folder - double clik it to open it - leave it open

Please use the requirements needed for Vista & Mac to get to the Mte game files & folders -

XP Users - Right clik on yr Mte game icon - clik properties - clik find target - you should be looking at a window (without the stat fix in it - pic below)

Drag the Stat Fix from the Mte Stat Fix folder into the Mahjong Towers Eternity window -

Having done this the window should now look like this -



To use the fix - drag the Mahjong Towers Eternity.exe on top of the Mte_Stat Fix.exe - the processing window will then pop up - when its done it will disappear

Your 'players' & 'times' files inside your player folder will now be less than they were before the fix - this has no impact on your players position in the game - your player will be in exactly the same place as it was before the fix


Your game will run fine with the Stat Fix left in it for the next million times yl need to use it

Close all windows - open yr game & Enjoy!!

Version 1.2 players (usaually Oberon - Pogo) - copy & paste yr whole player folder into the window as shown above - when the Fix is finished - copy & paste yr player back into yr 1.2 Version game

Those are awesome instructions, Fi! I know it will help so much! Now someday I hafta figure out how to do the fix with Vista cuz it sure has not worked for me yet.. but I am workin on it! Karma Hug for you, dear, you are always there to help us and it is so appreciated!!

[Marilyn]

Fi for posting the above instructions.
Unless things have changed since I last ran the fix, (I always keep it in my 1.3 version game of course, and I have XP) After I put the player folder in that game to run the fix on it, I just double click on the stat fix icon and it runs. I am asked if I want to run it etc but the double clicking on the stat fix icon is all I've ever had to do.
BUT there may be something new I'm not aware of, the last fix I ran for someone didn't take it down as far as I thought it should, I wrote it off to them having more than one active RLP in their game, but maybe there is something new going on
much sweetie

I didnt know ya could double click it Marilyn - iv never tried it that way - cant even remember the exact instructions i got with it when i first downloaded it - i just know it took me many hours to work it out - i kept trying to drag the fix icon onto the Mte icon - grief!! i had all sorts of things going on but nothing was working - then just by chance i dragged the icons the other way around & away it went - much to my relief - coz i couldnt get into me game at all because me players file was to the max - but by all means everybody - if double clicking does it & works for you - then do it - might have to try that meself next time

Yes having other RLPs in the file as well does have a big impact on how far it pulls everything back - i'v found if a players file is maxed out & if it has a 90* player in with it (if i know theyv made 90*) it dosnt pull it back very much at all - wen iv done a fix as such & send it back i let the player know & ask if they still have & use the 90* player & that if they dont then the next time i run the fix for them i can split the file for them if they ok with that - this gives them a player folder for thr 90* player that they can keep aside or delete or whatever they want to do with it & a seperate folder for thr current player to put back in thr game - having done so this significantly pulls the current player back by a whole heap & gives alot more playing room

Splitting the players is really easy to do - - uh ow! here we go - new subject for the How Do I... thread ;D

Will get right on it now

[Marilyn]

Fi that's the same thing I suggest when I find player file with more than one RLP in it.
It is actually quite easy to separate the players out.
Oh oh, sounds like we think the same way ;D
Frightening eh
for all you do for us and the players.
You really are wonderful.
Karma hug to ya sweetie

The fix at work -

I ran me latest fix in Mahjong Holidays 2006 - wanted to make sure it worked for anyone who has this version of the game - thort id grab some screenshots for those who have never run it & seen it working before -

Once the fix is activated it pops up a processing window - the window will automatically close when the fix is complete





This is the player folders files - before & after the fix



& there we have it - now i'll copy the whole player folder & put it back into me 1.2 oberon pogo game - which will now open for me to play

YAY!! for the fix - whoever created that little file is a genius

[Tia]
