Got it, I think. It needs teh VC90 *and* VC80 DLLs.

Try downloading and unpacking http://brage.info/~svein/win32_libs.rar into your new DF directory. That should do it. I hope.

[Deto]

The new DF doesn't even run for me. On running the .exe, I get an error prompt telling me the application failed to start because it's configured improperly.

I tried downloading a fresh version of the package, and got the same results.

Do you have visual c runtime libraries? If not, installing it might help

Apparently, pressing space during the intro sequence before creating a world crashes the game for me. Also, you can't press more than one button at once.

[Baughn]

Unfortunately, there was no way to test multiple simultaneous key-hits on BC. I'm looking into it.

I did notice the MSVCRT dependency, and have added it to my library .rar. If anyone's problems are fixed by this, please try removing DLLs until it fails again, to find out which ones are actually necessary.

The intro (and fullscreen-toggling) crash are in the process of being fixed; that's up to Toady now.

Doesn't run for me.   On running I get "FATAL ERROR: Main index file missing/corrupted.  The file "index" must be in the "data" folder.  Make sure DF decompressed into its folders properly.".  I've verified that the index file is indeed there and dated today.  Also tried a completely clean folder with the same results.  

If I replace the index file with the one from .40d it starts to run and I hear the intro sound etc, but the screen is black.  There will be an occasional block of color but 99% of the time it's just black with no output.

[e] redownloading the package seems to have fixed the problem.  Dunno why.

[Baughn]

I've seen that happen if the current working directory is wrong, not otherwise. It shouldn't hapen if you're double-clicking directly on dwarfort.exe, under any circumstances.

@Baughn:

Hey, I've installed darcs, but am having trouble with the repository.  My version is 1.0.9, the last supported for the PPC.

~/prj/battle_champs>darcs get http://brage.info/~repo_df/ .               [13:58:26]
Invalid repository:  http://brage.info/~repo_df

darcs failed:  Failed to download URL http://brage.info/~repo_df/_darcs/inventory : HTTP error (404?)
~/prj/battle_champs>           

Haven't found relevant advice in TFM.  I notice that your repository has a directory of multiple inventories, but don't what darcs is supposed to be doing at that point.

Important to note that I've also had 404 problems with a HTTP file downloader.  Could this be a web browser client ID string issue with your server?

[Baughn]

Sorry.. only darcs-2 and above will work.

You could download it with wget -m instead, I guess

[Ostsol]

Am I the only one trying to run this on 64-bit Ubuntu? It didn't work, initially, because Ubuntu's ia32-libs package does not include lidSDL-image.  Extracting it from the 32 bit version of that library into the game's libs directory solved that problem, though.

Any chance that we'll see a 64-bit Linux version of DF?

Other nitpicks: every file seems to be flagged as executable.  I'm sure that this is minor, but it's unnecessary. . .

EDIT: I just found that having a grid size other than the standard causes a seg-fault after the intro movie. . .

Code: [Select]

Using OpenGL output path with client-side arrays
Ideal catalog size: 384x368
Assumptions broken!
Segmentation fault

[Baughn]

Hmm, let me think..

No.

There are *way* too many 32-bitisms in the source, and no doubt a ton more in DF proper; there's no way it'll work.

[Baughn]

Oh, and it should be perfectly possible to compile darcs-2 on ppc yourself. Probably.

It's haskell, after all; high-level code. It's *hard* to make it platform-dependent.

does not seem to run on vista, i get a message that the "side by side" configuration is incorrect.

[Ostsol]

Ah, that's too bad. . .  It wouldn't be the first game to suffer such a problem, though.  I've been wanting to play IVAN in Linux for a while, but it's also too 32-bitty to be converted easily.

[Baughn]

Please use sxstrace for a detailed diagnosis.

The appropriate command line is.. well, I don't really know, not having Vista, but there's an article on it at http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2006/04/14/576314.aspx - it would be really helpful.
