Question for the gamers

FERdeBOER · 09-05-11, 06:55 AM

I will play openssn in Linux, but if you can port it to Windows you will enlarge your audience...

I think is more a matter of how much time you have at your disposal and how much of this time will the windows port need.

PS: i've just sent to you an outdated Spanish manual translation.

I have very little spare time this last month...

Typhoon, if you want me to upload the windows binaries to SF my username is magic-stix.

I've granted the account magic-stix release file access, which should allow you to upload binaries to the mirrors. If it's not working, please let me know.

Windows version is up.

Thanks!
Before announcing the new version I downloaded and tried to give it a run (I've got WINE) and I'm getting the "incorrect application configuration" message which so commonly plagues MSVC developers. Could you check to see if a DLL is missing?

Hmmm. That's odd, the game works fine for me right out of the zip. Does it say which dll is missing?

magicstix · 09-05-11, 04:59 PM

OK I pulled the zip and ran it on my other windows machine and got an error. I'll look into it, i think I'm probably missing the msvc c runtime dll.

No, the error doesn't say which DLLs are missing. But one of the prime characteristics of the "incorrect configuration" error is that people with MSVC installed on their machines can run the program fine, but people without MSVC cannot. It's pretty common. The list of problem DLLs is available in the link I posted.

Update: I just you beat me to a follow up post.
