Re: error message
 

Otoole I had the same issue. This is from Ambros site. Worked for me.

Q: I keep getting this error in the DOS window:

Exception in thread "main" java lang.noclasdeffounderr: org/jdom/jdomeexception

A: You must have the 0.7.* runtime libraries installed in the same directory as Fiddle. Download the runtime files and unzip them into your fiddle directory.

Hope this helps!

After much "fiddling" :p I have discovered a few things. First I would advise loading a background image from a screenshot in game. This will rid you of the black box.

In the elements window at the very bottom I found an entry that was in bold. When clicking on this entry and selecting "open screen" I got stuff to appear.

This is as far as I have come, but I hope it helps others!

Umm, guys. The memory issue is wicked easy to fix..

java -Xmx500000000 -jar fiddle.jar

You just have to add a command line option to increase the default maximum memory size..

Type java -X

Still have occasional error.. Null pointers and the such when I try to save..

Glad to see some interest in this package still
 

I've set up a forum on my website if you would like to direct questions and issues on SIDL Fiddle there, I would be happy to help if I can.

Also, if anyone has modified the code, let me know and I can incorporate your changes into the version.

this is a double quote of an earlier posted reply by Perkoset BB on page 7 or 8 of this thread...

Double checked all the files and all graphics are in the folder and the UI/window works fine in EQ.


Perk - End of Quote


On page 7 of this thread (i believe) at the very bottom of the page, Perkoset has posted a copy of the error he was recieving in the DoS window. the quote above is the only reply i have been able to find to this problem. its been 3 years since Perk had that problem and i am only just now using this program, I am having the exact same problem. I can find nothing else about it and I can't find any posts anywhere explaining what the problem is or how to fix it. I have checked the SIDL Fiddle website, www.barbre44.com and this error is not listed in his tutorial or his FAQ, also the earlier mentioned forums on his site, are apparently no longer there. I realise this guy abandoned the project some 2-3 years ago. I have not yet attempted SIDL WIDL, as I saw many posts claiming SIDL Fiddle was a better program and that SIDL WIDL does not work well. if anyone knows of another program available that works better than these or is still under construction PLEASE hook me up. if not, well i'd LOVE an answer to what this problem was. Perk apparently did figure it out, but what it was i can't tell =/ I am using java 1.4.2, the program is supposed to work with this version. have not yet tried uninstalling and using an older version, as suggested, for two reasons -

1-SIDL Fiddle is supposed to work with 1.4.2, according to the developers website anyway...

2 - I can't seem to find a way to uninstall Java 1.4.2... /sigh where's the uninstall button when you need it? /cry
