Little help here?
« on: September 03, 2003, 05:29:15 am »

Ehm, I recently installed Striker's CVS 0.24 and I can't seem to get it to work. I installed it over the most recent official build (0.2 I think). It says the application can't run because it can't find "zlib-1.dll". Any assistance would be appreciated greatly.

Before asking a question on the board, I recommend that you read what has come before you, or at the very least use the search function to see if this issue has been brought up before.

This just in: It has been.

If that doesn't link directly to my post, just find the first post of mine on that page. There I describe a way to make the file you require with existing files. Or you can scroll further down, where someone posted the file up for download.

Oh, thank you. I guess I should've have checked first. I apologize.

All right, I tried what was suggested in that thread, but it still doesn't seem to work. I can't find a straight answer in the thread, either. Now I think it wants a new "starcon.key", and I can't understand what he (GoNzOTW) did to get it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Starcon.key is (for all intents and purposes) exactly identical to the keys.cfg file. The only difference is that the keys.cfg is the copy that you should be editing; starcon.key is the original and is best left alone, except in this case of course. So, just replace the contents of starcon.key with that text I posted up.

Were you at least able to get/make a working zlib-1.dll?

EDIT: Wierd...for some reason I'm seeing part of my avatar in yours. Maybe my browser is messing up...?

I do have a working zlib-1.dll now, and I've replaced the starcon.key file, deleted keys.cfg, but I'm still getting the same problem as mentioned by GoNzOTW in that thread. He mentioned something about installing it correctly, but I'm still not sure what to do. Thank you very much for all the help you have already given me, though.

BTW, yes I do see part of your avatar in mine. That is strange...
