New binary for SVN users (#45)

Shade · Post by **Shade** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 5:59 pm

@Zefz: With this binary and r754, I cannot run Egoboo at all. Whenever I try, I just get a generic Windows error message "Egoboo2x noticed an error and must be closed.".

Well that doesn't sound good. It could be some of the processor optimizations that aren't supported by your processor perhaps? (advanced processor instructions)

That is the kind of error it gives you when a dll can't be found.

I have a problem as well. When I run the exe it creates an Egoboo process but doesn't start the application. It also starts a dwwin.exe process which keeps increasing in size and cannot be shut down, but it dies off eventually. No error messages appear.
Latest binary and SVN on WinXP.

My guess it's either the processor optimizations or the static PhysFS library that causes this.

Here is binary #35 which is compiled from revision 763. I disabled the processor instruction set optimizations but did not remove general optimization settings.

There is a known bug where the update loop goes out of control in the first 5 seconds after entering a module when everything moves 10 times faster than normal.

That changed nothing for me.

Okay, I have disabled ALL optimizations (back to the default what was before) and I have readded physfs.dll into the package, so don't forget to copy all the DLL files!

This binary was compiled from the latest revision so it contains some additional bugfixes.

Which I did. Not very fun so far.

Ah cricket... Now we have to deal with that problem, as the other bugs weren't enough. At least we have a different error message. Maybe there is something wrong with the physfs.dll (I used the precompiled one instead of compiling my own as I did last time it worked). I guess we could try that out.

So try it please.
What good is a developer if he can't develop?

Of course

I've been a little occupied developing modules

I'll go right at it!

Okay, here it is: http://www.2shared.com/file/8215462/e02 ... RY-37.html

If it still doesn't work, try to check if there is a log.txt
Remember that output files are no longer in the Egoboo folder, but stead under
User Data: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\egoboo\
Check stdout.txt (which is in your actual egoboo folder) if you are unsure.

It won't work...

And there's nothing in those error files...

Post by **Zefz** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 5:13 pm

What error message do you get?

Cimeries · Post by **Cimeries** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 6:53 pm

I get the old problem again, with no message and dwwin starting up. Logs are all empty or nonexistent. I don't even have a temp folder. The Error occurs before Egoboo even has a chance to start and make them.
