Warzone 2100 Forums

Hi, I'm new to the Warzone 2100 Resurrection community, and right now I have a problem concerning the 32-bit map editor. I have a computer with 2 hard drives (C: and D:), and I installed Warzone 2100 to D: (I always do that with my games, because that's the biggest hard drive). Then I installed the the world editor to D:\Beta World Editor 32 bit -128 by128 -png Beta. I tried starting the editor, but an error occures, saying that the file MFC71.DLL could not be found. Now I've opened the .zip ''DLL's for editor'', and there's a readme saying that I have to ''put these in the dll cache in the system 32 windows folder''. I know where system 32 is, but where on earth is the DLL cache? ???

Since I've seen nobody else having this problem, I think I'm the only one. Please help me with installing the map editor, since I'm eager on making some maps.

Thanks in advance, and for still maintaining such a great game

Try putting those files directly in "c:\windows\system 32", as I dont think a subdirectory is needed there.

ps, welcome! feel free to add me on msn messenger or xfire if you want someone to play with.

Thanks for your help, but I've already tried that too. All .dll's are there, and the problem still occures.

* Have you tried putting the editor on your C drive (which I take is where your OS is installed) ?

I also tried that, but sadly it didn't work :-\

* Hmmm....

* Well then make sure you have these resident & up to date:

* Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)

* AND

* Windows Installer 3.0:

* Hope that works for ya... I can't think of any other options.

* Actually... there is another option.

* This editor is buggy.

* If you can be patient for a few more weeks a brand new & far superior editor will be released that will make this one obsolete.

Maybe you are going to need Microsoft .NET framework, i know that some application needs it

The editor says it is missing mfc71.dll and not msvcrt80.dll... Neither is it missing any .net stuff, since that didn't even exist back then...

And once Giel has finished his work on EditWorld, it will get easier usable and work on OSX, Linux and BSD as well!

But now you made me curious and I'd like to go behind those words to know what's so "far superior" about it.

* Good. As an 'ol Mac guy going back to when Apple was founded I can relate to how starved we were for years for quality games & mod-map tools to create for them.

* 2200 site opens January 21, 2008 (less than 2 weeks from today) and there will be full descriptions & screens of the New Editor werein to judge (the editor will be released shortly thereafter with our 1st game release).

* Though I've used EW since July 1999 I don't expect my words alone to carry the day but rather the New Product's own field demonstrated versatility, power, quality resource content & rock-solid performance.

That's great, because notting from the above tips worked. Thanks very much however, and I can't wait for the new editor to come out.

http://www.google.com/search?q=mfc71.dll eg. gives http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mfc71 (I do [red]not[/red] guarantee that this file is not broken or malicious!! Use your virus-scanner!) where you could download mfc71.dll and put it into your EditWorld directory (right besides the exe).

Yeah, keep it up and us interested.
What about a a-feature-a-day list, where each day you describe another one from that tremendous list till you reach release-date?

* Oh my, that's too cheeky, even for me.  ::)

* But... a week ago in my reading corner thread I already mentioned several other advances - in 1 post !!!!

* I'm just happy for us mappers - & believe there will be an inspired  resurgence in Wz map making. And that's a beautiful thing.
