Hey thanks to everyone who helped out before. I have fixed the last problem and now I need people to try it again. If you downloaded the demo before and you still have it then you only need to get the executable which is only 200 kb. You can find it here: http://www.angelfire.com/goth/magi/ Thanks.

Bump!

Sorry dude, another no go. It runs, but when I click "New Game" I get a blank box that says "Create Character" at the top. I just click "Done" since I can''t do anything else and it fades out, and then crashes back to Windows.

Hey thanks for taking the time to test it Zipster.
Getting this to work on different machines is a bit of a job. Was your card''s color type 565 or 555? This is displayed at the top of the screen.


To everyone who is interested in testing again:

Hang on to the master.rsc file. It won''t change on the next test.

OK I just made a modification that I think will
get the map to display. Let me know how it goes.
Don''t forget to have a look at the trace.txt file and
tell me what color card type the engine says you have.

Thanks everyone.

Hey guys I''ve just put some trace markers in the display
part of my code so try it again! It will tell me
exactly where it fails in the rendering loop.

For a successful draw you should see this repeated
over and over in the trace.txt file.

Draw Frame 1
Draw Frame 1b
Draw Frame 2
Draw Frame 3
Draw Frame 4
Draw Frame 5
Draw Frame 6
Draw Frame 7
Draw Frame 7b
Draw Frame 7c
Draw Frame 8
Draw Frame 9
Draw Frame 10

My trace.txt file is empty, and my card is a 5.6.5

I''ll hafta try out the modification then.

Ok same problem, only now tract.txt has something in it:

SCRIPT_ACTIONS: script/map/marlinroad.scr, PlayMusic: invalid file.New Game created OKDraw Frame 1

Thanks Zipster. I have just put some more traces in the render loop.

So if you are one of the lucky few who''s copy actually works
take note: The trace file will get huge within a few seconds. So if you see the map appear after pressing New Game, Done. Press and hold the escape button. Otherwise your hardrive will fill up.

If the game exits don''t worry just mail me the trace file or post it here.

Thanks.
