ewwwww myth is written in C

KROK do you have things in your local folder besides formations? That can cause OOS.

If it's not that, please send in your savegame for analysis. Zip the file and upload it as an attachment to your post.

what did you expect a circa 1998 cross-platform computer game to be written in dac?

ewwwww myth is written in C

C++ to be specific

I have observer constants folder (camera speeds), and some folder named "preloaded data" that has a bunch of files in it that i have no idea what they are.

No, it really is written in plain C. (Which is a great language, by the way.)

How did you manage to beat those 40 archers with 3 jmen? The saved game seems to think you didn't - hence when loading it, it replays it to that point and ends prematurely...

@vr: c++

@mel: i use it all day, its not that its terrible, it's just messy compared to more modern stuff. what compiler are you guys using? gcc? for work I actually have to install xp mode to use visual c++ 6.0 since it is no longer supported under windows.

lame.

We use different compilers. On the Mac, the Universal build is done using GCC 4.0 - need to use such an old version to support Mac OS X 10.4. For the Mac PPC build (which also runs on Mac OS 9), we use CodeWarrior 9. On the Windows side, we currently use Visual Studio 2003 for the release builds.

well at least its a .net build.

i fight with intellisense breaking if there's a line above it in the code that wont compile. stupid little things break and you lose your entire toolbox, drives me nuts, but i know thats a problem with the SDK. either way its a dated language.

We are using Visual Studio 2010 at college. Can't imagine going back to 2003......ugg

[BIG KROK V8 SS]

mad skills btw. once you beat the 40 archers, you go to the giant room, and its just impossible to get anywhere near the crown. also, in the redo that i'm working on now, a wave of myrks comes from behind the arcs, and they swarm the jmen. so its literally not beatable or something, unless there is something more to it... but you can only use the 3 jmen when you teleport, because everything else turns into a ghost and tries to kill you.

Windows dev is mostly done with VS2010, 2003 is only used to produce the shipping builds. That's because the 2003 compiler produces win9x compatible binaries, and the newer ones don't.
