New win32 builds

[Per]

This one contains AI diplomacy and some other new features added since last time. Please comment on whether this build is slower/faster than the previous one. Actually, any comment is appreciated.

URL: ftp://upload.freeciv.org/pub/freeciv...iv-1.14.99.exe.

A new SDL build will be posted in this thread later.

Per,

Is it available as a normal zip as well? I can't install it under w98 because I get an error saying that this program must be run on Windows NT.

[Per]

AFAIK, you will not be able to run it under Win98 in any case. Think it requires some NT/XP functionality. I tried making a version that didn't have the NT/XP check - did someone try this version on Win98/95? I have never heard of anyone who made it work, so I assumed nobody did.

[Per]

I have also uploaded a new SDL client build as "Freeciv-SDL-1.14.99.exe" in freeciv incoming ftp. Or just use this URL: ftp://upload.freeciv.org/pub/freeciv...iv-1.14.99.exe.

Please report all bugs!

Hi Per!
I installed the build (and the runtime inviroment)
When I executed the client, an error message popped up: "The procedure entry point libiconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be located in the dynamic link library iconv.dll"

specs: xp pro, gtk+ 2.0 runtime
Still the old version works fine though ;-)
Nice game

[Per]

Try deleting the file iconv.dll in the directory where you installed it, and see if it works then. Let me know either way.

I deleted it, and now I got to the connection screen (localhost:5555) I press [connect]
but then it stays, saying (whith the main window lurking in the background) "connection in progress"

.....as I am writing this I try again, and this time it says: "arg list too long".....

well, I hope this info is useful :-)

[kujahn]

by the way,.. The vikings didn't carry the Norwegian flag, they carried the Danish ;-) and, Where IS the Norwegians?

Very nice improvements, tnx

[Frozzy]

It doesn't work in ME.

So, technically, it's a WinNT build, not a Win32

[kujahn]

I had played from startyear until
my civserver.exe is closed down (*POP*) when I in civclient shift turn -0750 to +-0750 (mouse click or return that doesnt matter)
I tried to open civserver, "load civgame-0750.sav.gz", connect from client, start and replay but the exact same happens, even through 5 retries.

[Per]

Hmmm... I don't know what is wrong. You should know that this version is based on most recent CVS, which has at the moment a lot of bugs.

As to vikings: Someone has posted a patch to split Norwegians from Vikings, ie into two nations. Maybe it will happen...

Could you send your save to rt@rt.freeciv.org and report this bug.
