All Ben Urban did was help you find that you were getting/setting invalid memory locations...

I haven't had a chance to look at it. I will try to get to it tonight.

Finally it is here. binary #20 which includes hotseat and a ton of other fixes since last binary!
http://www.2shared.com/file/5567933/867 ... RY-20.html

There are 2 known bugs:

Code: Select all

- Quitting the game after SDL_mixer has been used usually crashes the application.
- Menu font spacing is increased, causing some letters to fall outside their red description boxes.

Important binary changes:

- New Feature: Now you can play up to four players on the same computer at the same time
in hotseat mode!
- Update: The input control settings in the game menu now supports other devices than
just keyboard!
- Update: Improved the stability of the game in the way Egoboo loads and uses textures.
- Update: Improved the debbuging output Egoboo gives. (More different .txt files with debug info and more detailed debug info)
- Bugfix: Fixed potentional crash bug. (rare crash)
- Bugfix: Various forms of bonus damage should now properly work. (This fixes all bonus damage from skills, backstabs, enchants, etc. which actually did nothing before!)
- Bugfix: Fixed some bugs with the module unlock system.
- Bugfix: Fixed a problem with loading .ogg sound files.
- Bugfix: The AI should act much more intelligent now. (waypoint bug fix. should make both friends and enemies smarter)

Finally, time to make stuff!

Yes

That reminds me that I can finally finish the Cobol Palace (followed by the Archmage Trials!).

I might have forgotten to upload msvcr90.dll (previous versions used msvcr80.dll I think). I take it you have the redistributable package already installed?

Also, you did not have problems with the new SDL versions we tried a while ago? You could try to simply copy all the old .dll files from older egoboo and see if that works.

Huzzah.
...Someone's gonna have to email it to me.

Here try again. It is the binary rebuilt after cleanup and added the missing dll file.

Same problem persists.

Post by **Zefz** » Fri May 01, 2009 8:11 am

That is indeed sad. I am awaiting if others also have this problem. If so, I could try to send along all the old .dll's to see if that fixes something.

Alright, tried the second binary #20 with r472.
The game fails to start up. Instead, I get an error message saying that the executable's configuration is incorrect and that reinstalling it might fix the problem (which it doesn't).

Retry with this: http://www.2shared.com/file/5576137/add ... RY-20.html

It now completely ignores the concept of the vcredist_x86.exe package and instead includes all the .dll's directly into the directory. Let's see if that works.

Still no good...
Am I doing something wrong? I'm supposed to just paste that stuff in the main Egoboo folder, right?

Post by **Zefz** » Fri May 01, 2009 11:41 am

Yes that is correct. I am not sure either anymore why you are having trouble. I am compiling Egoboo from my new computer now, opposed to my old one. I have been looking up the error message you get and everywhere it says you just need to install the redistributable package (2008):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

Tried reinstalling it? (Maybe even remove the old one before doing so). Restart computer might help too. What I did was include only the needed files from the redist package into the binary zip I uploaded (the extra .dll files). But for some reason neither that one or the already installed package doesn't work correctly (You do have it installed right?).
