I modified the start_goodhardware.cmd file that it fits for WindowsXP and should also work other OS that prefer the former style :

cd prg
ver | Find "XP" >NUL 
If Not ErrorLevel 1 GOTO :WinXP      
  GOTO :OtherOS
 
:WinXP
  Echo OS is Windows XP
  set CRYSTAL=%cd%
  set CEL=%cd% 
  crystalblend.exe normalmap.blend -mode=1024x768 -silent
  GOTO :EOF
 
:OtherOS
   Echo OtherOS
  set CRYSTAL .
  set CEL .
  crystalblend.exe normalmap.blend -mode=1024x768 -silent
:EOF

Have a nice weekend

ahh now I see what you want to do.
But the command SET CRYSTAL . and SET CEL . does not have any effect in the WindowsXP CMD shell.
It just displays the values of CRYSTAL and CEL.

I seems that the error that comes when I start  [start_goodhardware.cmd] tells that its a problem that
g:\cs\sndmanager.dll was built with MSVS 8.0 and CrystalBlend was built witch GCC.

This seems to be a problem for CrystalBlend.

Yes I use the [start_goodhardware.cmd] to start it...

Thanks for checking the project files.

Hi,

I wanted to try crystalblend and downloaded the lite version. when I wanted to start I got the following error:
- g:\cs\sndmanager.dll plugin compiler does not match application compiler VisulaC != GCC.

So I downloaded the current cvs version and wanted to build it as described in the README.
I got the following error :
fatal error C1083: cant open include file : "config.h": No such file or directory   e:\Download\KI\crystalblend_win32_0.02\crystalblend\src\readblend\dnapp\variable.cpp   1

can someone help ?

Thx

The Variables are globally set from the controlpanesl / system.

Are these values OK ?
What can I do ?

sure,  CEL  = g:\CEL
        CRYSTAL = g:\CS

The environment variables are set to the correct values. I also checked that by enterein [set CEL] in my "CMD Box"

I forget to say that the problems occur when I try to start these programs form within the IDE of VC2005.

When I try to run the exe from the CEL-root CelTest.exe its running.
When I try to run the exe from the CEL-root WalkTut the same error occurs.

Hi,

when I try to start the CEL app I get the following errors:

1. with CelTst      :    cannot open map file 'cally.cal3d' on vfs

2. with WalkTut   :    cannot open map file 'walktut.box' on vfs

I have the latest cvs CEL and the pseudostabel CS version installed. Using the current cvs version of CS  crashes the CEL app with an unhandled execption in the app.


please help...

thx

Hi,

I just stubled over a small problem when I wanted to build the celtestand application with MSVC2005.
In the projects linker settings the library libceltool(_d).lib is not included and so I got linker errors.

For users convinience and to avoid problems and questions, I  wanted to suggest to add the library to the your projects settings.

Just downloaded the cvs files and get the following error when I want to build the maze app with windowsXP and visual studio 2005:

g:\vc projects\cs_test1\maze\gamestuff.cpp(543) : error C2664: 'iGeneralFactoryState::GenerateSphere': conversion of parameter 1 from 'csEllipsoid' to 'const csSphere isnt possible because: converting from 'csEllipsoid' to 'const csSphere' isnt possible.
g:\vc projects\cs_test1\maze\gamestuff.cpp(613) : error C2039: 'EnableZSort': is no element of 'iParticlesFactoryState'

I translated the error message from german to english and hope I did it OK...

Hi,
