Patch 1.06b revision 2 is coming

[Nyerguds]

That's right... developement on 1.06c is going kinda slowly, and a couple of serious bugs have been found in 1.06b r1, so I'm going to release a more stable 1.06b so I can work on 1.06c without having that extra pressure.

 

Things 1.06b r2 will fix:

 

-the tree/radar crash (because too many people don't find their way to the hotfix)

-the fact that replacing either of the first campaign missions with a mission that has no videos set crashes the Select Transmission (Start New Game) screen

-some problems related to the Funpark launcher program

 

It'll also have some other minor updates, like correct hi-res centering for the "Connecting to player..." box that sometimes pops up in multiplayer games.

 

You can expect this patch before the week's end. If there are any additional urgent fixes needed, please let me know.

Nice. When you finish i ll see if it runs back on windows 98 

I never had problems with the funpark launcher, but, that isn't a BAT2EXE?

[Nyerguds]

yeah, and a lot of virus scanners have trouble with generated code...

i think you will need change the code 

[Nyerguds]

I already have a new one, that's not the problem. Still fails on some of that site's more paranoid antivirs though.

If I knew how to change DOS environment variables from Pascal or C programs, I would've written all of this myself without relying no these stupid bat2exec tools.

[Irony]

#include <cstdlib>

 

int main()

{

int envvar = putenv("VAR=VALUE");

}

[Nyerguds]

tbh, I got nothing decent to make C programs. Wouldn't know how to even start on making a C app which doesn't show a console but can spawn a message box when it doesn't find the game exe.

[Irony]

post a copy of the original batch file and I'll see if I can find time to write the c app tonight

[Nyerguds]

The original batch file calls an external message box exe

 

The icon I use is here:

http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncimg/funpark.ico

 

@echo off
set __COMPAT_LAYER=Win95
if not exist "C&C95.exe" goto nogame
start /I /b "" "C&C95.exe" funpark
goto end

:nogame
funparkmsgbox.exe "Error: Game not found!"

:end

 

The "start /i /b" command causes it to run without wait, so the program finishes just after the game is started. The empty quotes are needed bc the first argument between quotes is seen as the window title of the started command (which only affects command line apps anyway), and "C&C95.exe" needs to be in quotes to prevent the cmd interpreter from seeing the & char as separator.

Well, I'm planning to release the patch, um, now, so if you still want to give me that, you better hurry, or it won't be necessary anymore...

[Irony]

Sorry I had assignments and they took a lot longer than expected.

 

If you still want it I'll try and get it to you today

[Nyerguds]

I just released... so, yeah, too late...and for 1.06c I'm planning to pretty much remove funpark mode completely, so it won't be necessary anymore at all.
