Video garbled on my machine

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:14:38 -0000

The green box that surrounds characters along with the green path direction lines are not rendering correctly on my computer. They appear as garbled boxes across the screen.

This problem goes away if I deselect Full Screen mode. However I am unable to reselect Full Screen mode later.

This doesn't happen on my home machine, just this machine.

Problem machine specs:

Dell Optiplex GX620
Windows XP 64-bit
ATI Radeon X1650
Driver Date: 12/1/2008
Driver Version: 8.561.0.0
Provider: ATI Technologies Inc.

some bugs

Bomfunk — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:06:51 -0000

Everywhere (in menu and in game) there is used human cursor, but in main menu and in orc game there must be an orc cursor.

My game sometimes crashes when I try to load some saved game, and I don't have idea why. It happens particularly if I try to load campaign saved game.
Also, in some campaign levels game crashes, when the wall is damaged.

When I downloaded and compiled the game, I needed to find out some images and move it to another folders, but in Windows version everything is going automatically. I wish this will be corrected..

Sorry, if my english is very bad. It is not my native language.

Getting stratagus map editor to work

Saurabh Chatterjee — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 09:15:51 -0000

Hi,

I downloaded the windows version of Stratagus and was able to get it running with warcraft 2 data.

However the map editor is not visible for some reason. I have attached a pic to show what it looks like.

I tried fiddling about with menus.lua in the wargus scripts directory, but realized that the config file did not load menus.lua at all.

I added load(menus.lua) to the script and then stratagus gave me an error
[string "scripts/keystrokes.lua"]:36: attempt to call global `ResetKeystrokeHelp' (a nil value)2
stack traceback:
[C]: in function `ResetKeystrokeHelp'
[string "scripts/keystrokes.lua"]:36: in main chunk
[C]: in function `Load'
[string "scripts/menus.lua"]:34: in main chunk
[C]: in function `Load'
[string "scripts/stratagus.lua"]:332: in main chunk

I next tried downloading stratagus 2.2.4 and installing under VC++.
This did build an exe but I couldn't see any difference except that it was 4.2 mb while the windows direct one was 1.2 mb or so.

Furthermore, if I try to use the stratagus with other data sets, I keep getting lua script errors like 'attempt to call global ...' How can I override this.

Actually I am doing a project on AI in RTS games and I want to use stratagus for this. How do I set up playing against a custom AI? Can I do it without the map editor?

Connecting for multiplayer

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:21:53 -0000

When I setup a multiplayer match, I am able to 'join' the game over my LAN, but when I actually start the match on the host computer, the computer that joined doesn't join the battle, but instead stays on the 'waiting' screen. Any solutions?

Thanks,

Bryce
