  • Is there anything I can do to get Windows XP support back? About 60% of the machine I am installing on run Windows XP - is there something I can install or tweak to make it work with these older computers? At the present time my app just crashes on startup.

  • gumshoe2029 in this case it the app is part of a very large education suite of software that is 98% win32. The other application all use COM to communicate things like difficulty and option settings. So it has been a bit of a challenge to fit C2 applications into our current model.

    I have implemented the solution and it works like a charm.

  • gumshoe2029 i have gone with the text files system. Our software suite writes out the student's progress and current score into the text file. The c2 app reads that info. When the student closes the app their current progress is written back to a text which is then processed by the main application.

  • Is it possible to see them in action?

    MadSpy CloseAppTestNw13B5 seems to kill the ghost for me - however, my own app ghosts

  • The textfile idea sounds like a simple solution which will work well within the current framework - I will have a go

  • MadSpy

    Cheers I will look into that. While at the gym I also thought about maybe talking to a windows app using GET and POST

  • I am pretty sure the answer is - "you can't" but I thought I would ask.

    I want to export my app as an EXE for windows.

    However, I need to send information to the application about progress etc and receive information back from the exe.

    I was hoping to be able to read information out of Windows Registry to do this. i.e., read from the registry and later write information into the registry.

    Has any one had a similar challenge, how did you solve it?

  • Nice result — That look much more acceptable. Sometimes the player gets caught in certain spots but I may be able to work that out. I will need to check it closer in the morning.

  • HI ryrydawg I am not sure I follow. The 8 direction behaviour would be a possibility for the player but I am not sure how that would solve the issue for the CPU player.

  • I am using the built in pathfinding for my Turn Based tactical game.

    Here is my capx

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/3iqjnrt6csg14lj/RebelStarShared.capx?dl=0

    The units move along the path but they cut corners.

    The tile map is 32x32 I have set the cellsize of the pathfinding to 16 or 32, and everything else I could think of, yet they units still cut corners straight through the "solid" walls. I have also tried other settings like disabling diagonal movement, however no improvement.

    I don't quite understand why there is this problem and why it cannot be set to obey the solid walls. I know there is another pathfinding plugin but first glance it looks more complicated to use so I was hoping to see if I could acceptable results from what I have built already.

    The game is a work in progress and I have no commercial aspirations for it, simply a hobby project. However, please do not use my code for yourself without talking to me first. Thanks.
