Err, so as a complete newbie who's just trying to play the game, what do I do to fix the problem please? I downloaded 23710 and 24458 and it doesn't start. I'm getting confused with all the talk about a c::B package (whatever that is), whether I need it to try the game, and why I'm getting an error on intl.dll when according to the binary's post, I am running the last patch (I only downloaded it today!)
I'm assuming C::B is the codeblocks package by the link, but I would guess that's for developers? And it's yet another 100MB so I don't want to download it if I don't need it and it doesn't fix the problem
Sorry if the answers obvious to everyone else, I only just stumbled across the game yesterday and I'm really looking forward to playing it!!!
Hi hockings,
Welcome to UFOAI (Aka UFO : Alien Invasion).
To give u a quick overview on its versions (lest it be confusing), its currently stable at version 2.2.1.
The dev team are moving on to get version 2.3 up and stable. However, it is currently heavily bugged, with quite alot of issues unresolved. Still, u can expect a HUGE interface revamp, AI improved, graphics, music, EVERYTHING just abt EVERYTHING improved..... once its done that is.
It is this version tat we have dubbed 'unofficially' sorta 2.3-Development (with a R and some numbers behind - eg R23456). The revision is to help everyone track what is the built they are on.... since with every 'internal patch' and work being done given a revision nos.
Its much like every open source project out there, where a 'release' is tagged with a Revision nos.
There are NO OFFICIAL RELEASE for 2.3 as of yet, however, a few of us enthusiasts have helped compile together these developing versions of 2.3 and putting it up for downloads for those beta testers persay... lol.
If u r interested in these (and dun complain abt the bugs that are already reported... the whole team of developers and players enthus like us alr knew), u can check out Destructavator's release, with Muton's patches here:
http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=2830.0I also helped to compile some of these here:
http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=3462.0Just go to the last entry of that thread and u should see the latest version for download!
As of now, i believe the built for my own has resolved tat intl.dll issue..... do make feedback though if u encounter problems again! Its an active - getting activer - community here. lol
