Re: DM2 for Windows: skwin / skwinspx / skproject status

Those are Microsoft-Runtime-DLLs for MSVC.
Perhaps check this link
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... -downloads
Haven't tried it now. The letter d before the dll means probably, that this is the debuggable version. That's a bit strange. sphenx could know.

Re: DM2 for Windows: skwin / skwinspx / skproject status

Reading those old codes, I'm getting instantly tired. I'm still stuck with this 'FILE' problem. There is some devicestate needed. I wonder if that is because of some caching system and is just in the PC version. I still got no idea what this all means and how to solve this. Will continue to try.

Re: DM2 for Windows: skwin / skwinspx / skproject status

I now managed to compile the newest version of the library myself. Using 'cmake' is like jumping out of an airplane to dive back into time. It's unfunny like ever... There's still the 'FILE'-problem left. I'll trace the missing variable and hope it will vanish finally. Will checkout skwin on github ...

Re: DM2 for Windows: skwin / skwinspx / skproject status

I just gave it a try to compile the project with old MSVC 9.0 and Allegro-library version 5.0.10 With some allegro-filename-adjustments for compiler and linker the project did compile fine in the end. And it still runs. Don't know if i can make it with the 2019 version of MSVC and the newest Allegro...

Re: DM2 for Windows: skwin / skwinspx / skproject status

Hi Sphenx, I recently wrote a message to Christophe. I got a problem with my DM2 source and MSVC 2019. The FILE struct changed, so I cannot get the handle out of it and because all of the source was WATCOM-based, I must find a solution for that. Basically it is equal to me where the project is place...

Re: DM2 for Windows: skwin / skwinspx / skproject status

Be a little patient please - must dig them out and test. Don't want to provide wrong stuff. Especially have to check if they compile with the newer MSVC-Express-Versions and then they need a library (Allegro) which came up with a brandnew layout. Maybe I can port that. If not, it has to work with th...

Re: DM2 for Windows: skwin / skwinspx / skproject status

Hi Christophe, Hi Sphenx, perhaps my latest code of DM2 is a little helpful too. I made a dropbox-project with Sphenx and there should be my latest code. Sphenx and me left the project almost the same time. While Sphenx could name a lot of variables, maybe my code is even a bit more stable. I did it...

I think I downloaded them sometimes to test my truecolor mode. If needed, I'll dig them out. But it's better someone else keeps the copies, because I don't know how long I will keep my domain.

I know.

About 64-bit-code: I still never tried it, but I assume it's possible to restrict pointer sizes to 4 bytes, else a lot of original structures run in troubles.

When I made my DM/CSB-clones, I enhanced all graphical things to work with truecolor, if an appropriate graphic file is available. I then exploded the graphics.dat-file and converted the graphics to match mask colors. But I could not adjust the graphics caching system, so at a certain point I decide...
