Re: possible solution for "wz does not start"
Wiping the Windows Registry? Are we both talking about Warzone 2100 2.0.5???
Warzone really shouldn't use the Windows Registry at all...
It wouldn't be the first time, though, that WZ's bugs are related to some weirdness, but this is really strange...

* I keep very close tabs on my registry - It's one of the basic criteria I use for judging the engineering of a new new sw I use (another criteria is mem-leaks).DevUrandom wrote: Wiping the Windows Registry? Are we both talking about Warzone 2100 2.0.5???

* Anyway I keep an emmaculate registry - and I've tested this repeatedly over the last month - starting with a clean slate... upon running WZ, then running a deep reg analysis ...... WZ is responsible for quite a few serious (to not so serious) registry errors.
* It's a minor inconvenience at this point but there is no doubt I have to fix my reg every time after playing WZ. AND there is NO doubt WZ responsible.

Re: possible solution for "wz does not start"
WTF...
Seems like we need to find the portion of WZ _very_ fast, which is responsible for this.
I thought everything WIN32 related was wiped when the game was ported to Linux. Apparently this is not the case.
I am very curious where we will find the responsible code... (I can't remember _ever_ seeing any Windows Registry related code in WZ.)

Do we have the design documents (architecture, model, diagram things, ...) for this project?DevUrandom wrote: WTF...

if that so i think we should have someone build the architecture (in style of UML) from the scratch first. Maybe anyone in this project's developers who has the rapid reading-understanding skill

If you want to document the code in all it's detail (what would be needed to find the hidden Windows Registry related code), then this would also be a huge task with little to no benefit, since the diagrams would be so complicated that no one could understand them.

I don't think so. At least we will be able to control the scope of this project and get the traceability.DevUrandom wrote: If you want to document the code in all it's detail (what would be needed to find the hidden Windows Registry related code), then this would also be a huge task with little to no benefit, ...

THEN it would become a very complicated diagram.DevUrandom wrote: [...]

So for this task I am not sure whether it is sensible.
In the future I think it would be interesting to have such a general overview, but I won't get into doing this before the codebase has not stabilized. This will take a few months, since we didn't even start working on it, yet.
