Title: Can't start experimental 7.3 with pak.britain. Crash.
Post by: tux. on May 16, 2010, 03:37:54 pm
Hi,

after some years of more serious stuff I thought I could play Simutrans again. Downloaded ST 102, then experimental 7.3, installed everything, also unpacked the latest britain "experimental" pakset, started the executable, and:

Reproducible.
Any ideas?

 ???

Welcome ;)

As a workaround, maybe install pak128.Britain (non-experimental).

And copy the file pak128.Britain/config/menuconf.tab to the analogue directory below pakBritain-experimental.

Tux - sorry that you're having problems. Did you also download all the configuration files?

Yes, I have. :)
Maybe I should do it all again...?

Did you get the Experimental configuration files...?

Hmm, this is odd, since this is a combination that has worked for others - it's bound to be an install error somewhere - but the question is where. Try reinstalling Pak128.Britain-Ex?

Reinstalling everything seems to have worked so far. (Seems like I overwrote some files, missed to create a subdirectory for the pakset or something.)
Anything special to help you test?

Reinstalling everything works in the sense that you can get it running now?

I can run and play. :)

Excellent! Must have been an installation error. Glad that it's working for you now. Let me know what you think :-)

Seems so. :)
(Sorry for the confusion.  :-X)

First impression (never having played Britain in any version up to now): Looks well-thought and mature. :)
Quite confusing that some buildings look very similar, compared to "cl****ic" paks, but this might be because I'm not used to it. Will play with it for some more days.

 :D

Played enough to say: Thank you for my new favorite pakset. :)
