make rev 501 to work ?

[fabca2]

hello,
I use to compile to try uptodate revision (and it works)
I tried with rev 501, and As I've seen directory structure have changed.
I'm on W2K.
english.lng have been copied into lang\ directory.
ttd.exe complained about file that must now be placed in data\ directory.

now I've all files in data\
- trg*r.grf (5 files)
- canalsw.grf
- openttd.cfg , openttd.grf , opettd.dat
- sample.cat
- signalsw.grf
and
- ttd.map


but when I run ttd.exe now, it do nothing, nothing appears, no message, no menu, no window, it just ends and return to windows.

is there something wrong ???
thank you.

hi fabca
i'Ve compiled build 501 and did the same as you with the data files.
lang to lang grfs to grfs (openttd.cfg is not needed in data)
everything works fine here. working also on w2k.
oh compiled with vs .net.
don't know if this will help you much

greets

Try to launch the command line console (start > run > "cmd") (Démarrer > Exécuter > "cmd")
And then go to the ttd.exe directory using the old good ms-dos commands "cd c:\progra~1\open-ttd" and then run ttd.exe

You should be able to see console error messages if there are.

The .cfg file is ofcourse in the same directory as the ttd executeable.

Don't forget to also put cached_sprites.xxx in the data directory.

All that should be in main is ttd.exe and openttd.cfg

I've got the same problem as the topic starter.
ttd.exe runs at 100% cpu, but no window is displayed.

What is 'cached_sprites.xxx'? I don't have any in my source/compile directory.

svn version 505 has the same problem.
When ttd is started with the '-d' switch, the screen stays empty.

Ah (just talking to my self )
Replace data\openttd.grf with the openttd.grf from svn.

This solves the problem for me.
