Latest trunk build

[TrashMan]

Well, I updated, deleted the old maps folder and replaced all other files. Re-complied the .exe... compiling all maps now. If this doesn't work I'm giving up and removing the game from my HDD completely.

If you use SVN, what problems to just checkout, compile and run from svn directory? And don`t forget to copy dlls from contrib/dlls.

PS: current trunk is not a good target to play, to many bugs, to many regressions.

[TrashMan]

I have tried to run from SVN directory too

Now I'm waiting for the compile to be done...


It's done...Aaaaaaannnddd.....

What about deleting your directory project/.obj en rebuild?

[TrashMan]

You mean this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Toni\Desktop\UFO_AI\build\projects\.objs

from the SVN download folder? I'll try...we'll see if it works.

[TrashMan]

f****! Still crashes on loading...

Meh...nothing to do but wait till 2.2.3 comes out.

[Kildor]

Btw, why don`t you want to use snapshot from Destructavator?

PS: One more time.
You checkout ufoai to an empty dir, and compile binaries with C::B and maps, right?

And next you try to run game?

[TrashMan]

Yep.

I had about enough. I uninstalled everything.


I'll try re-installing the and applying the latest 2.2.3 files, re-compiling the code and all maps. If that doesn't work, nothing will.

[TrashMan]

Jsut so there's no confusion I'll write down my steps here:

1. Uninstalled everything.

2. Installed UFO AI 2.2.1

3. Copied the Base folder from the SVN to the game folder

4. Copied the dll's from the Contrib/Dlls to the main game folder

5. Copied the Contrib folder to the development folder (the one with CodeBlocks and MinGW)

6. I'm no re-compiling the code and after that all the maps.



EDIT:

Hm...CodeBlocks crash...interesting.

[BTAxis]

The codeblocks crash seems to be related to the warning messages. Try removing the last two -W lines from the additional options in the build options of the ufo project. It seemed to help for me.

[TrashMan]

yup..that did it. Thanks.

[Destructavator]

You've finally got it to work?

After compiling everything, don't forget to compile all the maps, then all you have to do is run UFO.EXE.

If you want to package everything into an installer there are additional steps, otherwise, enjoy the game!

For anyone else who has codeblocks crash on them I have a couple of screenshots.

BTW, after compiling, do *not* save anything when quitting if you plan to update from SVN again later, unless you want to have to use the "revert" option with Tortoise SVN, from my experience.

I don`t understand nesserity of your second step.

You want to compile 2.3, right?
So, you need just:
— checkout https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk to empty directory
— install correct C::B package
— copy DLLs from contrib dir to rootdir
— compile game, maps
— and run.

[Destructavator]

Good point, I just noticed the second step:

2. Installed UFO AI 2.2.1

This isn't necessary for 2.3, and in fact I think it may mess things up a bit.

I certainly wouldn't recommend mixing revisions like that.

[BTAxis]

We told him that several times before. I don't know why he keeps doing it.
