Soldat PolyWorks v1.4.0.17 with source code

[Eldiablo]

Well, I need help.
When I try to open up PolyWorks, I get an error message. This one:



After that, there is a "Send Error Report" or "Don't Send" message. You know, the one that says the program is being unresponsive?
Anyways, then it just closes.
I think i have the correct Dir path in polyworks.ini. My Soldat folder is as follows, C:\Soldat\ and the path for PolyWorks is C:\Soldat\
I have no clue what is wrong, because it says that the path is not found, yet the path is correct.
I could really use some help. I really would like to put this program to good use.

Thanks. _{CK | Jesus}

Isn't it supposed to be installed in c:\Soldat\Polyworks\

[Eldiablo]

Well, when I Unzip it, the folder is "Soldat_PolyWorks1417" and inside that folder is "Soldat PolyWorks" and inside that is all the good stuff. Like the program and polyworks.ini

Maybe you have to change something in the characteristics of the Polygons. 

[Allu]

I did it, but it doesent change .

But .... i rebuild the Polys and then they works .

I've discontinued development of PW and released the source code, check the first post for the download link. Be warned: it's pretty badly coded, disorganized, very few comments, etc. Feel free to do whatever you want with it.

Also I'm no longer providing support for PolyWorks, so I won't be responding to posts or PMs or emails asking for help, and I'm not available on IRC.

Haha I guess it's the best choice if you don't want to help people anymore
Or just quit

I have a problem with a map. Perhaps somebody can help me.
you can download the map under http://www.vision-synthesis.de/a/ctf_troja.zip

The problem is: Wen the map was play on a server You can connect it an you can see the map. But in few seconds you will be disconnect from the server with the advice: "You have the wrong card version". But it is the right.

The next problem is that the Card is bigger than she should be.

I think the problem had something to do that I have in a older version make to many collision points. I have remove the points but wen I play the card all the point was in the map. So I have move the Horse along left from the points. Then I can play it on the Computer with out the collisions points but now the map was so big and unplayable on the server.

Please help - I don't want make the map new. It was very much work.

your computer can't host maps too well, it has to do with your router/firewall.

hey i got a problem with polyworks, when i open it , it appers this:

when in doubt, google and download the file.

you probably don't have the latest directx... download from microsoft.com if so

[DorkeyDear]

So, is anybody going to pickup the Polyworks project? (too lazy to read to see if somebody is)
If anybody does.. i got 3 suggestions for you..
-having it say the cursor's X,Y on the map wherever its pointing
-having it say the X,Y of objects like it does for polygons
-and making it so if u select more than one thing, it takes the average of those points' positions and says that..

I've got the exact same problem. Tried getting the latest directx, and it still doesn't work. And, I already know I'm not missing any of the .dll or .ocx files.

Bummer, I really wanted to try mapping again.

what does skecth tool do?

In theory it would let you sketch a map so you can create some ideas then align the polygons to your sketch. Unfortunately, there isn't much options for the sketch tool to make it useful, and it crashes when used after a few seconds. Try to avoid using it, as it's better and safer to sketch and load a compatible image file from some outside paint program.

Am practicing with Polyworks for the first time now.  I have run into the Sketch crash a few times.  Seems like PW will only handle so much sketching. 

I REALLY like being able to toss down some visual notes for myself with the Sketch tool, then adjust my polys to fit what is in my head.  Is there a way I can CLEAR my sketches from memory? 

I mean... i just want to be able to toss down a couple of sketchlines, adjust my map to those and then clear my Sketches so I can then Sketch out a couple of lines on some other part of the map.  Adjust, tweak, clear my sketches, repeat.  Can this be done?  Seems like it would be a handy update to PW at large, but I'm also very willing to hear if there's some geeky advanced workaround.  Like, could I save my creation and is there some file i could delete to get a clean sketchboard back?

Thanks in advance... Step right up ladies and gents!  Help the noob, win a prize!
