30-Jul-2003 build out.

Grab it at: http://www.4u-servers.co.uk/~striker/.

As always, please include the CVS timestamp when reporting bugs.

By the way, I realize it's been a long time, but sourceforge's anonymous CVS hasn't been my/our friend lately (in other words, doing CVS checkouts was mostly pointless).

I feel that this is a quite recent build of the CVS tree, so enjoy.

Well, so much for needing CVS access. Thanks Striker!

EDIT: Hm...this build isn't working from my standpoint. Apparently uqm needs a zlib-1.dll to execute, but only provides zlib.dll. I've googled around for errors regarding zlib-1.dll, and as I understand it making a copy of zlib.dll named zlib-1.dll works for some programs usng it. However when I do this for uqm I get an error message...

After a great deal of testing and renaming I got things working. First remove keys.cfg from wherever it is. If you have libpng1.dll you need a copy of it named as zlib-1.dll in the uqm install dir. This should allow you to run uqm.exe, and thus generate a new keys.cfg. However I found that this file is in unix text format, and though this probably is still configurable I converted it into a more organized document. For your amusement, I present the unedited document:

Code:
# Default UQM input configuration file.

# Keyboard control definitions follow this point.  Most keys can be
# described in a straightforward manner; consult the name table in
# src/sc2code/libs/input/sdl/keynames.c for the names of unusual keys.
# Most keys can be named by just the symbol they produce.

# Menu controls.  Both sets of arrow keys, basically.  Paging controls
# moving quickly through the file lists in Super Melee.  Zooming
# controls zoom controls in the starmap.  "Cancel" is also used to get
# you into menu mode to begin with.  There is a "Menu-Special" command
# currently unused by the game.  It seems to have been originally used
# to call up details on starships in the Super Melee selection screen.

I would post up a link to this, but since my webserver is down and my only webspace is on geocities I see no point in hitting my bandwitdh cap after a few minutes Wink

Using these changes, the current unofficial build should be playable (at least enough to configure and run). I have no idea of any other bugs but I figured this was important enough to post up here.

Yeah, I noticed it needed zlib-1.dll as well, but I'm fairly sure I modified the installer to include it, odd.

You can find it here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/zlib-1.1.4-1-bin.zip?download, that should make it work without all the hassle.

Okay, I'm a newb to this (just found out about this converstion last night), and I was wondering if anybody could help.


I have downloaded the "official" installer, voice, sound, and content files.

I have also downloaded the latest build installer from this thread.

What boxs do I need to check in the installer in order to get this latest build to work?

The error I'm getting when I try to play is this...

Code:

Initializing SDL (pure).
SDL driver used: directx
SDL initialized.
Initializing Screen.
Set the resolution to: 640x480x32

Hey!  you haven't updated your keys.cfg to use the new system, have you?
Delete keys.cfg and try again.
If you've done that and it STILL doesn't work, make sure your content/starcon.ke
y is up todate.



I've tried what the message says, but it doesn't seem to work.

I don't know if this is something I'm doing wrong in the update installer or what.


Any help?

Okay, I tried something else.

I replaced the content of keys.cfg and starcon.key with some that was posted up above this post.


Not the game crashes while loading the key configs.

And about the installer again, so I need to check the boxes for voice, content, and sound? I get errors when it tries to download them, and I hope I don't need them because the voices data took long enough on 56K. Smiley

Well, it looks like I got it working. Smiley

Just checked everything except the content, voice, and sound files. SWEET!

Look for another dumb question in its very own thread soon!

I installed the exe and updated libraries over 0.2 content/voice/music and am getting the same problem as GoNzOTW. I have zlib-1.dll and have tried deleting keys.cfg which didn't work and updating starcon.key from the CVS which caused it to crash on startup.

Any ideas?

Earlier in this thread, somebody posted the content of their keys file. Copy and paste that into yours, that's what fixed mine (once I got the install right).

Striker-
can i go from version .1 to your lastest build, without upgrading to the offical .2 version. im having problems running your latest build, it keeps crashing, and from what i can see in the dos window, it says:

"fatel error: couldn't mount content dir, no such file or directory."

then it crashes.  the content directory is still there. your  last build worked flawlessly. also to anyone that knows whats up with downloading with the version .2 installer? i cant make a connection because i get timed out. please, any help would be greatly apppreciated.
