Hi
I just extracted Maratis-3.21-beta-win32 to my work folder, and ran MaratisEditor from the bin folder. It just crashes and tells me that Maratis has stopped working.
I am running on windows 8 64 bit.
previous to extracting the file, I had downloaded, and built the source code. Would that be causing the problem?
Hello ! You should try the win64 version that ulbex compiled (link is in his signature)
over here : http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.ph … 34&p=6
Thanks for the swift response.
The links are to a build, which I have already done with the 32 bit.
I had successfully followed the steps here http://wiki.maratis3d.org/index.php?tit … or_Windows
The thing is, I did not know what steps to take next, or how to run the program using this method. I tried running maratisCode\trunk\dev\Maratis\Editor, but I can't run the script. I have vs2008. Do I need to upgrade? What's the best way for me to get started?
My bad sorry, i thought it was already compiled

On my side, after running scons.py, the editor is located here :
\MaratisSVN\trunk\dev\prod\win32_i386\release\Maratis\Bin\MaratisEditor.exe
Hope it help, unfortunately i know nearly nothing about compiling,
so if there's still a problem you better wait for anael advice
Try running it with the GPU if possible, my Maratis only works when i run it with my Nvidia graphics card, otherwise it just crashes. Also, make sure you try to run as administrator.
Ah yes Vegas. I found the files here \MaratisSVN\trunk\dev\prod\win32_i386\release\Maratis\Bin\MaratisEditor.exe also, but it still crashes. Thanks
Cygorx, I ran it as administrator, and it still crashes. How do I run it with the GPU (don't understand GPU)?
I did some research. GPU - graphics processing unit. This is the first time I am hearing of it. However, that spells money. Even though Maratis looks good, I wouldn't want to spend money on it just for its looks. I have used many free engines, and ended up switching to another because of limitations or bugs. If I can't get Maratis working without spending money, then I think it would be better to try something else.
Thanks for all your replies. This is a great forum. I've been on forums where getting just one reply was like pulling teeth. Keep it up.
I'm being forced to update to windows 8.1. Maybe that might solve the issue - I hope.
Otherwise ...
Hi Jillinger3dee,
do you get any error message before the crash ?
is it running on the computer used to build ?
Try this :
- install visual c++ 2008 redistributable :
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download … aspx?id=29
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download … x?id=15336
- update your 3d drivers
No error message before crash.
I already have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package installed, but I'll reinstall it. Any help is worth a try. I'll let you know in a moment.
Installed vcredist. Run Maratis. Crashed.
Thanks though.
Oh, and all my drivers are updated.

Your graphics processing unit is just a fancy term for your graphics card. If you did not have one, you would have no display on your computer. As i am assuming this is not the case, if you are on a laptop it may be an integrated GPU. Meaning my advice is useless. However, if you have a dedicated graphics card then you should see something like this when you right click on maratis
Yes, I'm using a laptop, and no, I don't see 'Run With Graphics Processor'. So I guess that means 'my device is useless' in this case. Your advice however, was rather useful, since I thought my graphics card was a good one. Now I am learning otherwise. That's useful knowledge for future, since I'll be pushing in the direction of serious 3d graphics. Thanks.
Sorry I have to leave Maratis though. I was considering these three engines that looked promising - jmonkeyengine, gameplay3d, and maratis. Gameplay3d tried to deliver me a backdoor trojan, which now has me a bit wary of it. Maratis isn't running on my system, so that leaves me jmonkeyengine. I hope it doesn't fail me.
Thanks for all your help. This is the first forum I've spent so short a time, but the first with the most helpful and quick responses. Keep up the good work.
You're going to find less responsiveness from the JMonkey community. In fact, that's what drove me to using Maratis in the first place!
If it's just a computer issue, then using JMonkey won't make any difference because of the fact that it runs on top of LWJGL/JOGL, which means that it's still trying to tap into your graphics processor.
I have a blog that I run where I've linked some cheap new laptops with great integrated GPUs. You can find it here: "http://osgdp.wordpress.com".
In the meantime, would you mind providing your computer's system specifications so that we can help troubleshoot the hardware problem? This could turn out to be a simple fix if we just had a little more information.

You could even try the modified version of Maratis.
Jillinger3dee, try this version and see if its gonna run? link -> http://neo-engine.de/
Its a modified version of Maratis.
Thanks for sharing your specs, Jillinger3Dee!
It looks like you have a computer that's roughly 3 years old, and it contains the first generation of HD graphics that Intel ever made! Since the HD Graphics chipset inside your card only supports OpenGL 2.1, that may be what's causing the problem.
If you're going to get more serious about 3D game development, I think purchasing a new machine will end up being your first priority. Regardless of whether or not you choose to use Maratis (or any other game engine for that matter), a newer, better rig will really make a big difference.
As I've linked in my blog, there are some decent laptops that you can get for under $400. At that point, the hardware all becomes relative.
If you need any further assistance, please let us know!
