Alright... i know its a long post, but if anyone decided to read this... any thoughts?

[Atanor]

are the DLLs on your comp at least ?

[DevotedEternal]

just checked... they arent there at all

[Atanor]

hehe, that\'s a big problem.

Tell me... the game works when you lauch it from the start menu but not from command line? that\'s it ?

[DevotedEternal]

nope, it works either way... but only in software mode... in fact, it will work in either mode, but in opengl i get no textures what-so-ever.... just alot of blackness and some trees, lol. But no matter which mode I go into i get those error messages, I only ran from command prompt so i could cop/paste my error messages.

[Atanor]

okay...
About the missing DLLs, it asks for them in both Software and OpenGL mode ?

Do you have the very latest drivers for your hardware and also the latest DirectX ? It can be a driver issue ( we have already seen a lot...)

[DevotedEternal]

yeah i have the latest dx....and i also have the latest driver, which were near impossible to get my hands on... well it seems to be a CS issue... should i grab the latest version of CS and set the environment variables for it? would that help?

[Atanor]

I suggest you deinstall the game. then reinstall it to the default directory, the one given by the installer. So we will know if it\'s not a path related issue...

[DevotedEternal]

I just did so, it gave me the same error messages

[Atanor]

jeez, this is a nice error...
Did you check the md5 signature of the file you did download ?

[DevotedEternal]

to be honest i dont know what a md5 signature is, let alone how to check it.... unless i do and i simple didnt know what it was called

[Atanor]

Well i never read about such error, it\'s kinda strange... Is it in the FAQ?

I feel like being alone today    Everyone is sleeping??? Any suggestion ?

i checked it before instaling (windows version) and it was perfect, still i get the same error

please devs, tell us what is with
CEL environment variable
and from where can we get
csddsimg.dll, csjngimg.dll, cssgiimg.dll, cswalimg.dll

i can\'t test it properly in software mode (is too slow)

I believe that this is not a problem. When developing I have a CEL environment variable set that points to my CEL development tree. It does this so the psclient knows where to find the shared libraries ( the .so\'s or .dll\'s ). However, in the release package all the dlls are in the main directory so it does not have to look for them. We will try to remove that warning in the future since it is misleading.

For the unknown drivers that is also not a problem. They are for image types that we are not using but Crystal Space is looking for. Again we will have to remove those warnings.
