[OLD] Old OXCE+ discussion thread

[Bloax]

Meridians, just downloaded and tried the 2016-03-17 version of 2.9

I'm still getting the 'Not a Valid Win32 Application' Error.

You fixed this in the 2016-03-14 version - Why is it back?

PS - Can't find a copy of 2016-03-14 in the links, is it possable to get one?

Does this work, by any chance?

I gave it a little bit of dirty juice.

Just wanted to report that I dl-ed the 3-25 version, and the "Shift" key for entity facing didn't seem like it was working.

@Bloax and Roxis: the 2016-03-23 and 2016-03-25 should again work on win XP... can someone confirm?

@Ivan: the shortcut was changed from shift to alt... read the changelog 

[ivandogovich]

.... read the changelog 

pfft.

I can confirm the 2016-03-25 works fine on Windows XP 32bit. The linked MSVC++2015 redistributable was necessary, that's normal.

So i got vc redist x86 for my 32 bit machine,i threw everything from the 2016 exe download in the same folder where i downloaded piratez and yet i still get this crash from the explus29 exe

ucrtbase.abort cant find api-ms-crt-runtime-L1-1-0.dll.

even thought i have that dll in the system32 folder

(Damn it guys does this update need to have these issues?)

You really think I want you to have issues?
Just continue with this tone and I'll stop completely...

Anyway, after googling for a few minutes, I believe your VC++ 2015 32-bit redist failed to install properly (or you installed a different version). Try uninstalling and installing again.

PS: and for love of god, don't try to copy the file manually to your system32 folder, you're asking for trouble if you do that

[doctor medic]

I apologise for the tone,i think that i may have multiple versions installed and they may be conflicing with each other,regardless i will try to find and remove all of them and then install the proper one.

Is there a program to download the dll files in a proper manner or is there a method that im not aware of?

there is only 86 and 64 bit so naturaly my 32 bit machine should only be compatible with 86 as i cant find a 36 option.

[Meridian]

Correct installation file can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
Use the _x86 version.

PS: I will try compiling future versions under Linux, but it will take me some time to learn how to do it.

[doctor medic]

They are the same,i used the link from the first page and i believe that you gave me that one to use,i have deleted all previous redist from my pc including this one but even after the reinstall i get ucrtbase.terminate instead of abort,it's still about api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll

I cant give much detail as it's written in greek and a translation might make it sound more complicated that it needs to be.

But maybe it has to do with where i have the dll.I did threw that one in system32 haphazardly after all,i probably had to do something else considering that you mentioned how ugly things can get.

I am certain that 2016-03-25-oxce29plus.zip needs to have its contents moved in the same file as piratez,i cant mistake that.

[Roxis231]

Personaly I just put a copy of the DLL's in the X-Piratez folder - It seems to work.

[doctor medic]

i did so with the api-ms dll but it didnt seem to work.Even with vc redist and the new exe folder,still says that ucrtbase. terminate cant find the dll in the dynamic link library.

i suppose the old exec from 97 isnt going to work too well with this version.

Also i tried using the CMD method to see if the file can be loaded at all and it does but it didnt found a entry point for DLLregisterserver.

[Meridian]

Try this one, it's a bit old, but compatible: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8itkFQbhj-YTzRYLUZrZElLUTA

Is the 97D a typo in the menu or the actual game version?

0.97D is taken from the piratez ruleset, so it is the actual mod version... the executable version is oxce 2.9+ 2016-02-13.

And these two don't mix!
What are you trying to install anyway?... seems like you have a total mess in your directory.
