  1. Do you have installed the old video codecs that are required to play them? Such as Smacker video?
  2. It was more to make accessing a planet of 300 quick and easy then to drill down four layers to pick something. In this game there is an object and a target so a person wants two windows open. Probably more trouble than it is worth. I am going to go with leaving the background galaxy map static at one set zoom. You can then move the sector window panel that pops out when clicked on a sector to show planets moveable in order to position them in a nice spot so both windows object + target can be open and not interfere with each other, or what is on the galaxy map behind it.
  3. Good catch, yes you need the XNA redistributables installed.
  4. OK that is correct and it is not crashing . I forgot to add the initialization/check if valid range> for the mouse variables, such as when leaving focus (minimizing and maximizing the window or starting up at first). Thanks for the feedback and let me fix that real quick. Notice you can click on a planet and at the bottom a more detailed view of what is on the planet will come up in the pop up box along the bottom of the UI. What should it contain? I thought would be nice to see a more detailed Planet defenses and industry with population Size troop level. Without having to open up the Planet surface window. Let me photo shop up ?add some more code to give an idea. UI feedback is welcomed. Example 3 Laser LNR II cannon + Picture maybe. 8 Storm troopers ( or just total point value of troops), A blue circle Halo around planet to show fully shielded and half circle if troops can still invade...Industry and mine economic level.
  5. Xan can you check a small UI demo to see if it works for you I made yesterday under the demo release topic? thanks. http://www.filedropper.com/rebellion2013
  6. Thanks you for your interest. I just got back to working on it. Main thrust is complete rewrite into a common language C++ using XNA 4.0 from original DarkBasic. It will have a new AI since the original one was dismally stupid. Plus I had to convert and make new artwork or scrounge off the internet wide screen format and a new UI for modern 9:16 displays. Go ahead and see if that last small test UI will work on your computer.
  7. public Game1() { graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this); Content.RootDirectory = "Content"; graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 1920; graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 1080; graphics.ApplyChanges(); } string[] aPlanetNameText =File.ReadAllLines("../PlanetName.txt"); // "ReadAllLines" convenient perfect fit format = as one large string array. Names of Planets. string[] aPlanetPosText = File.ReadAllLines("../PlanetPosition.txt"); // "ReadAllLines" prefitted in as one large string array. Those are integers characters of text. string[] aPlanetLoyText = File.ReadAllLines("../PlanetLoyalty.txt"); string[] aPlanetOwnText = File.ReadAllLines("../PlanetOwner.txt"); string[] aPlanetTexText = File.ReadAllLines("../PlanetTexture.txt"); /// <summary> /// Allows the game to perform any initialization it needs to before starting to run. /// This is where it can query for any required services and load any non-graphic /// related content. Calling base.Initialize will enumerate through any components /// and initialize them as well. /// </summary>It is not finding the text files because of the directory structure. Tht whole folder is the complete directory taken from Visual Express 2010. Of course it works on my computer. Here try this one exactly as it is after you unRAR it. There is s only one EXE is it. It should find the text files (that is so you you easily edit stuff using a basic text editor). that" ../ filename" should look in the directory relative to the EXE for that file 'up one' forward slash each dot.. i thought. http://www.filedropper.com/rebellion2013
  8. There was a discussion about RebEd working under W7 in another thread. It will if you edit the registry for SW rebellion properly (it has to do with the install to get the main game to work under W7) so RebEd can find it. RebEd looks for it in the directory the files it needs to modify. I have it working. Here it is, though the thread is a bit of a mess. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28202&p=549474#p549474 getting RebEd to work. ---------------------------------------excerpt------------------ I found the SWRE Editor and will upload here here later. As for getting the RebEd .26 running, you need to edit the registry for example like this for ONLY Windows 7 64 bit OS (it is different for W7 32 bit) Using RegEdit add this to the registry or download the reg file and just add click install it. This is verified to work. Make sure to move your Rebellion install folder to and rename it as C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Rebellion\ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC\Star Wars Rebellion] "TooBigLocation"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\LucasArts\\Star Wars Rebellion\\" "DllLocation"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\LucasArts\\Star Wars Rebellion\\" "DataLocation"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\LucasArts\\Star Wars Rebellion\\" "InstalledLocation"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\LucasArts\\Star Wars Rebellion\\" "EncyLocation"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\LucasArts\\Star Wars Rebellion\\EDATA" RebEd needs to find the DATA folders for Gdata, and Encyclopedia locations for the pictures.
  9. Yes. I made a scrollable and zoom-able 2D interface with planets and such about 3 months ago. I can upload here, but it is not a professional product. Maybe you can add more planet artwork to it? I would like to make it more of a true turn based "Master of Orion II" style theme. "Master of Coruscant" so to speak. http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5235/rebellion2013.png:http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7486/rebellion2013b.png http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5235/rebellion2013.png http://www.sendspace.com/file/e0uqa8
  10. It is your graphics driver. Are you playing this on a laptop? They have notoriously bad support for DirectX. It is not your OP system. http://forums.longestjourney.com/showthread.php?t=667 make sure you have updated DX.
  11. Are you trying to play this on a tablet phone? Some of those integrated graphics cards may not support 3D?
  12. That is not the way it works. RAW MINERALS are produced by mines and the refineries turn that raw minerals into refined material to produce objects. All object production takes a chunk of refined material to make. In your example you have 0 raw mineral mined. Your refineries have already processed over 100% into 8000 refined material. Your last number 200 maintenance is what is your capacity to maintain what you already have left further to support (the total maintenance for each pair of mine/refinery - total object maintenance). It is not used to manufacture objects, only maintain them. You get for each PAIR of Mine and Refinery combo 25+25=50 maintenance points. Each object in game has a cost to build in refined material, then an on going 'cost' for maintenance. If you maintenance exceeds your capacity (IE below zero) left to use, then your objects in game start to blow up to reach a balance.
  13. It would seem your directX functions are not working. Are you sure you have the exact file d3drm.dll installed? It is not the same file. It must be installed manually also since the new version of DX does not contain it. Without it, you will absolutely not have any 3D battles.
  14. I just installed rebellion on a Acer Aspire One 725 net book with W8 and got it running fine. At first it would also have the small icons upside down and reverse color. I ran it with the "reb.exe -w" switch in window mode to get it to work. I used not the graphics hack of ddraw. The battle in 3D manually work fine too. I also have Rebellion run in W XP 3 mode with 480*640 tagged. It made one message to "incorrect palette color" but continued to run fine with proper color. No crashes and return to normal 2D game run after it was done. So it will (possible) at least on my machine to run the 3D battles. There is that error message that briefly shows up then proceeds to play normally, instead of crashing as you experience. Also I checked run as administrator.
