Error C0118 please help!

Post by AbeRavenclaw » Tue Jan 28, 2014 5:12 pm

I get in the game and try to load a map and all i get is this error

overgrowth error C0118: macos prefixed with 'GL_' are reserved

What does it mean?

I've tried redownloading the Data file and it didn't work

I have the steam version of Overgrowth if that helps

Please help I really want to play this game!

Hi,

Here a method to fix this error :
You need to edit the "Overgrowth.exe" with a hexadecimal editor to change a value.

I just fixed my game with this method, for beginners, here some screenshot to know how to edit the Overgrowth.exe in Hex.

I made this with "HexEdit" :
http://www.hexedit.com/download.htm

Right-click on your "Overgrowth.exe" then select "Open with HexEdit".
Image

Click on "Edit / Find".
Image

Copy/paste the following :
GL_ARB_sample_shading_available
Image

And click "Find Next", Then yes :
Image

Once you fond the rigth line (58 B750), search for the "GL". (47 4C on my screen)
Image

Change it to "54 54" to obtain : "TT_ARB_Sam[..]" :
Image

Ctrl + S to save, then quit.

It worked for me, hope the same for all.

Why don't you guys share already modified .exe file here, so everyone can download it without messing with Hex code?

Here is my edited Overgrowth file to fix error C0118. I followed the directions that Tchoumoun posted. Then posted my fixed file, so that you don't need to go through the whole process!

[P.S] - Note that you will need HexEdit to correctly view the file!

That's all nice and interesting, but I'd really want to know what was the problem here, why was that happening and why did you do that to fix it?

I think that this error is fixed in the steam advanced testing. Try to enable this and see if there are any differences.

Can you tell me when this bug will be fixed in the steam version? I don't want to hexedit some binary files.
