I get this error with a fairly clean install of Vista x64. Any ideas?

Hmm, you can try visiting this site

I run xp64 at home and normal xp on my laptop and it works fine on both of those. Try installing the 2005 redistributable and see if you get the same problem

Huh??

Rix, I got Avast giving me a Trojan Horse alert when I click on your link... oO

its probably because the installer is just a plain .exe, most virus scanners like to go beserk on seeing any kind of .exe being downloaded or linked.

I can assure you im not trying to give anyone a virus =p

If you don't mind, I'd like to see your source code, especially for your menu and option screen. =p

I fail to start the game (Windows Vista). The sound is playing, but I can't make the window get the focus (no screen appears as if you forgot to call sf::Window::Display()). I also tried to rebuild the MSVC++ solution, but I guess I have got another version of SFML. Did you use a rather new SVN build (I haven't updated SFML for a while)?

RixCoder · « **Reply #22 on:** September 21, 2009, 08:05:54 pm »

The game was built using only sfml 1.5, havn't gone beyond that yet. The game has been wierd on vista, running on some people's machines but failing on others.

Maybe it has to do with the game needing to be built for vista64 and vista32 independently from xp?

This is a great game! I am very impressed. I am working on my first SFML game atm as well, also a shooter. I would love to see your source code and perhaps talk with you, if thats possible. I am curious mainly about the particle effects--how much direct open gl you are doing and how much SFML is handling it.

My email is trunks7j@gmail.com

Thanks!

Heh I changed the txt file containing the level info and made it hard as hell.

Could we get the source? I'd like to see how you did all of this.

Suprised im still getting sporadic emails asking for the source!

I've said this before since looking at the code it was a few people's first time doing a game in c++ so its not pretty. I was making people email me as a cheap way of tracking how many people were interested in the source. Its been quite some time so figure I don't need to care too much about that!

Heres a link to the installer/source as well as a bonus game I made at the ggj which won best overall at the NYU location in NYC! Nothing like a good shameless self-plug!

main post also updated to include link to source. Enjoy!

This is a good game although it could be improved in several ways.

Making it so the player can take multiple hits instead of one would be one upgrade and the other would be to make it so the enemy hit points display somehow.

aside from that no complaints from me.
