Topic: My little game project: Breakdown

Hello community,

I was working on my little game for some time now and I think it is ready to be shown wink

You have to destroy a building with little bombs. But you have to be carefull: You only get points if the pieces get into the green area!

You can find it on my website:

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

Hello, i can't launch the game here, when i try with BreakDown.exe there's an error with msvcr100d.dll and
when trying with the launcher (pretty cool btw) the error don't show up but maratis just display an empty screen

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

What OS version do you use? I had some issues with Windows 8. It works fine with Windows XP (at least in my vm wink).

Thank you for testing smile

EDIT: I just checked the error with the missing dll. It shouldn't happen since the dll is delivered with the game.

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

I fixed it. I forgot to handle spaces in the path of the executable.

It should work now wink

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

Hmm still the same problem, i'm under windows vista, no Service packs installed
I saw you put the dll in the folder, and i also have it in my system32 folder, no idea what's going on

launcher.log gives :

Warning: No name given!
Current directory: O:/break-down-windows/published
Starting game: Unknown error

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

I can reproduce it. It happens whenever you start it from a drive other than C:.
Please copy it to your C: drive and retest.

I will see what's wrong with it wink

EDIT: I noticed that lua doesn't add the drive to the home path properly (using getenv). It should be fixed now.

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

Yep that's working on both locations now wink
Interesting one, btw i think a reset option might be useful

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

I'm working on some sort of ingame GUI with options like 'Restart' etc.
I will release it in a couple of days (I haven't enough time at the moment sad)

Sponk

EDIT: I need some people testing my game on Linux. I tested it on openSUSE and Ubuntu but testing is never bad wink

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

I've unsuccessfully tried to test your game on Precise Puppy 5.5, which is a light implementation of Ubuntu Precise Pangolin.
With this distro Maratis binaries work right outside of the box, so theorically your game should work but it isn't the case.

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

com3D: The launcher needs Qt to be installed. Maybe you don't have it.

I will add system requirements to the description on my website.

Thank you for testing smile

Sponk

Re: My little game project: Breakdown

Qt 4.8.1 already installed. Waiting for your system requirements.
