Daggerfall Unity Test Build 2

[Interkarma]

Is build 64 Bit only?

Hi! Sorry to hear that. This build should run on both 32 & 64 bit systems. I will upload a new build shortly (next 30 minutes) to hopefully fix this.

And does this build work under Windows XP 32 bit? Because it doesn't launch saying that it isn't 32-bit application.

This should be fixed shortly. I'm using Windows 7 for minimum requirement, but XP should work OK. Just YMMV depending on other factors.

I cannot import original save games, or start a new game - and I wonder if it is some file left out by old DFUnity build.

I have updated the Linux build, hopefully this is fixed now. Could you please re-download and try again?

I've set this to use InvariantCulture, but it appears to still be throwing an exception. Could you let me know your locale setting? I will try again to resolve. Cheers.

My locale settings (on Fedora 21):

Code: Select all

[fan@localhost Pobrane]$ locale
LANG=pl_PL.utf8
LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_TIME="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_PAPER="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_NAME="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_ALL=

You mean these lines in DFCareer.cs ?
float value = (cfg.AdvancementMultiplier >> 16) + ((cfg.AdvancementMultiplier & 0xffff)) / 65536f;
this.AdvancementMultiplier = float.Parse(string.Format("{0:0.00}", value), NumberStyles.Float, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

It is really strange as the CLASS*.CFG are in binary format, and I did not had this issue with previous build.
I'm still confused how comma could get there - C# is such strange language.

Edit: Is the second line rounding / truncating the value to 0.01 ?

Edit2: I've found workaround.
When I execute

Code: Select all

export LANG=en_US.utf8

in console before starting DFUnity, the problem goes away.

Edit3: I've installed monodevelop, and wrote short program to test it:

Code: Select all

float value = 1.2222f;
//line below works fine for both LANG=pl_PL.utf8 and LANG=en_US.utf8
float value2 = float.Parse(string.Format("{0:0.00}", value), NumberStyles.Float, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
//line below throws an exception, unless LANG is set to en_US.utf8
float value3 = float.Parse(string.Format("{0:0.00}", value), NumberStyles.Float, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);			

I'm still confused what's going on there, but I guess you cannot learn C# in 2 hours

edit: Just saw the section in the readme, will send you the saves.

Cheers mate. I'll work out which save file has the problem and try to fix the importer from there.

I have updated Windows build now. Please re-download and let me know how you go.

I downloaded the new version and it works now. Thanks!

Now the Windows build works.
OS: Windows XP SP3 32 bit
CPU: Pentium G840
RAM: 4 GB
GPU: Intel HD Graphics

I can load my custom male character, enter a dungeon.
Pop-up messages work properly (just killed an iron atronach).
So far it works, i'll try out as many options as i can and post a bit later.
Thank you, Interkarma.

Cool! No worries.

Cool! Did you also have a chance to try the updated Linux build? This should handle the exception gracefully and just assign the value.

Edit: Is the second line rounding / truncating the value to 0.01 ?

Yep. I'll be moving the CLASS definitions to a text-based file format before too long and this is to force the binary value back to a clean 0.00 string. Otherwise you end up with values like 1.5001726 in the string output which really bugged me. It's not really important right now though.

One more thing. With your default Polish locale set, does it seem to be reading the INI properly now? Or does it still barf on . instead of , while parsing? Cheers mate.
