Topic: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Hey Guys !
I downloaded the new version 0.5.0 and I'm using Win2k. But I can't open the server and can't open the game.
I've noticed that getaddrinfo didn't exist in ws2_32.dll on Windows 2000.
I need your help !! Is there a Win 2k-version ??
Thanks !

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Sorry, I am from Austria. I want to play the new version of teeworlds.
And the 0.5.0 needs the function called getaddrinfo in ws2_32.dll.
getaddrinfo doesn't exist in the file ws2_32.dll under Windows 2k, only since Windows XP !

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

the getaddrinfo is needed because it's thread safe. I can see if I can get around it some how but I doubt it.

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Hi, I want to play this game on my Win2k PC too.... I've got the same error message... Is there any possibility to play it with Windows 2000 Pro? Or any solutions? Thanks! ;-)

Edit:
I tried to play the Version 0.4.2 & 0.4.3, there is no error message, but opens only blank black & white screens... sad

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

This will be fixed in the next release. Seems like devs already found a fix (#658) wink

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Somerunce made a fix yesterday in IRC and here is the link: http://files.solidfiles.net/sjCb/teeworlds-win2kfix.zip

I know it's hard to wait so hope Somerunce doesn't mind that i provide his fix!

So rock on under Win2K! smile

First of all: Thank you very much for the fast bugfix.

Now the game starts, but then i get only a blank black/grey screen, as i had on version 0.4.2 & 0.4.3, such as written below...

Here is a screen:

(the funny rainbow-colored thing seems to be the cursor) ^^

I have a geforce 4 graphiccard, windows is running on 1280x1024, is there any bugfix/solution?

Thanks a lot! wink

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Do you have all the resource files and stuff? I guess the download contains a new exe? put it in the teeworlds 0.5 directory

Languages shapes the way we think, or don't.

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Yes, first i've unpacked the teeworlds-0.5.0-win32.zip and then unpacked the teeworlds-win2kfix.zip to the same dir, overwriting the teeworlds.exe... After overwriting it the game finally starts => bugfix did his job, but there are no textures as you can see in the screenshot below... sad
I had the same problem with version 0.4.2 & 0.4.3...

I'll try to update my graphicdriver... hmm

Edit:
I've upgraded my Driver from version 61.77 to version 93.71, but it hasen't solved the problem! sad

I've done nothing praise Somerunce! smile

Your problem can be the "texture compression" in graphic settings. Maybe your card don't support this feature!
Try to find the right menu shown in this pic and turn it off...

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Hmm... I did, but where to click "okay" to accept the new settings?
Otherwise, how to change it in the settings.cfg?

Thank you very much! wink


Edit:

Current settings as follows:

---
gfx_screen_width 1024
gfx_screen_height 768
gfx_fullscreen 1
gfx_color_depth 24
gfx_clear 0
gfx_vsync 1
gfx_display_all_modes 0
gfx_texture_compression 0
gfx_high_detail 1
gfx_texture_quality 1
gfx_fsaa_samples 0
gfx_refresh_rate 0
gfx_debug_resizable 0
gfx_finish 1
---

(I also tried 1280x1024 and 32bit, makes no difference..)

1 is activated and 0 deactivated, correct?
So texture_compression should be deactivated,
but there is no change... sad

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Klick on the Quit-Button (as shown in my pic) and your changes will be saved. But i think its a problem of your graphic card, i had this trouble with my "build in card", so i put in a new card into my old PC, only for playing teeworlds! smile

Good luck!

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

OK, i can produce your error when i copy teewars.exe and SDL.dll in a empty directory an start it.
Install the game again with all the data and then it should run.

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

Install? There is no setup.exe or something, i've just unpacked it, patched it with the teeworlds.exe for win2k and then started the game... Working on my WinXP laptop without any problems, but my laptop is a little too slow, to less ram and too bad s3 graphic-chipset...

I thought the error might be, cause i've unpacked it to Harddisc D: and not the System Harddisc C: but this makes no difference... Seems to be a problem of Win2k Pro SP4... sad

Here is one more shell-screenshot:

Re: v0.5.0 under Win2k

I don't recomend using my provided binary if you don't know what you're doing. No guarantees it will work for anyone. Make sure you have all the files in the data-folder, like it is after unpacking.

I've unpacked the teeworlds-0.5.0-win32.zip serveral times, all the time getting the same errors... hmm
Seems so, that it can't read any of the files in the data folder... sad
