tried run by both ways with same result.

Then, considering what vexed have said, you should check logs for insights, somewhere inside warzone folder in 'My Documents'. Post then here for quicker results.

i found stderr.txt in directory where i start WZ

Pull down the latest source again, you are using older code, and all that was removed.
(BTW, the SSL errors are because you didn't compile Qt with openSSL)

Could you please give us full cmd line with parameters? Maybe you've missed data directory?

so i returned to building WZ
what i've done:
1) rebuilt QT with openSSL
2) got last git
3) added folder devpkg containing previously built libs
4) rebuilt WZ in VS2010 (configuration "release")
5) tried run WZ from without parameters from data directory
- failed, WZ required bunch of DLL's
- found DLL's which i prepared weeks ago
5) started WZ from data dir without parameters

got following stderr.txt
libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.40 but running with 1.5.7

Means it cant find the image ... is the image there

Run it from src.

i've tried following:
1) put all contents (mp.wz, base.wz etc) of warzone master installation directory to running directory of wz
2) i found image "frontend0.png" in folder \base\Images
This folder was in same directory there i run warzone exe
3) add parameter "--datadir" - stderr.txt = "Unrecognized option: C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\ddd"
C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\data\Warzone2100.exe --datadir C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\ddd
C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\data\Warzone2100.exe --datadir "C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\ddd"

i not see any exe in src and subfolders

also tried run from VS with starting paramters and got error "Unrecognized option: ..\data"

update1: i put all dll's and data files in Release directory and run WZ from VS
i got same stderr.txt with
error |02:02:19: [dataImageLoad] IMGPAGE load failed
info |02:02:19: [resLoadFile] The load function for resource type "IMGPAGE" failed for file "frontend0.png

i think problem can be in png library (may be i should find dll with same version -1.2.40)

Doesnt matter where you'll run it from as long as all dlls are in same folder and you'll correctly specify datadir path.
Try C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\data\Warzone2100.exe --datadir="C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\data"

I recall smth about = instead of spaces, try it. And why ddd? Should be data subfolder with base, mp subfolders or zips inside.

thank you, parameter works with =
But i got same stderr.txt
started WZ with shrotcut C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\data\Warzone2100.exe --datadir="C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\data"

and yes, subfolders base and mp located in data folder and "frontend0.png" located in C:\Users\Vladimir\Documents\warzone2100\data\base\images

is anyone know where is can get latest devpkg?

i replaced include files, got png.h and some others from ;libpng version 1.5.7

wow! it running without errors! i see start menu, but did not tried start game yet


IT WORKS. thanks to all

now i can fix fk bug with incendiary damage #3078 and see result

i try start writing of some kind of compile guide here

First, i still don't understand where people should get latest devpkg.
Second, why people should build all libraries manually. if i've made my own devpkg, i assume it will work on any windows machine, is not it?

ok, step by step
1) Download and install Git
First, there is many git-clients for windows. You should use proper client.
I recommend msysgit http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
- donwload, install
on installaton of msysgit you should select option "Run from windows command propmpt"
git installation contains "sh.exe" which used n WZ for autorevision and neccesary for build

2) Run cmd (windows command prompt)
select directory where you want place WZ codes
execute command in cmd:
git clone git://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100.git
WZ sources will be placed in selected directory in subfolder warzone2100

3) Download Developers Package and unzip in warzone source directory
later i'll make download link to prepared devpkg (not sure where is it should be gotten)

4) Download, Install QT
configure and compile QT with OpenSSL (you need also get OpenSSL library)
building QT is long process and i'll describe it later

5) Open warzone.sln in visual studio and build it

6) Copy dll's from devpkg to data directory

7) Run Warzone2100.exe from data directory

when you use the cross compile method on ubuntu the build script downloads the packages
Just a little info

Ты уже, наверное, догадался, что вот так сами и собирают все Каждый компонент надо допилисть для студии ещё, что ваще атас..

Yup, me thinks that its easier to install ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 into VirtualBox and follow some linux guide for guest system or cross-compile for your win-host
