Error when running worldorder.bat file
eisnerguy1 opened this issue · comments
So, I'm trying to run this bat file and I keep getting the same error. I've got everything in the right spot:
Duke Nukem 3D Twentieth Anniversary World Tour installation path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Duke Nukem 3D Twentieth Anniversary World Tour\
raze.exe and worldorder.bat folder location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\raze\worldorder.bat
I'm running Windows 10 Pro
Version: 22H2
OS Build: 19045.3570
Here's the error message:

Am I missing something?
Your problem seems to start right at the beginning of the batch file.
Try latest v1.54 of the script and see if you get an error now. If it's telling you about missing chcp.com, check in C:\Windows\System32 if you can find the file there. If not, there's your problem. Here's a way to get the file back. The file is usually bundled with Win10, though.
So, I do have the chcp.com file. I tried v1.54 I'm still getting error messages:

C:\Program Files (x86)\raze>
This what's in my raze folder
I feel like I'm missing something super obvious 🤣
I've tried double-clicking the worldorder.bat file and manually launching it from Command Prompt. Got the exact same result both times 😭
I do have the game installed in the correct spot
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Running the batch from within the Program Files dir isn't recommended as it is a system folder and therefore won't allow the necessary file operations without issues.
Try one of the following:
- Run worldorder.bat with admin rights (right-click on script > "Run as administrator") or
- Move the Raze folder out of the "Program Files (x86)" dir (e.g. C:\Raze or D:\Games\Raze).
I tried both of those suggestions and got the same error output. I even tried moving the raze folder to my Desktop. I'm using my BootCamp petition in VMWare Fusion right now. I'll try rebooting fully into Windows tomorrow and see if anything changes. Thanks for the ideas/suggestions. I'll report back tomorrow 😃
No feedback for half a year. Considering this one solved.
