Title: Trying Again w/ OpenBVE
Post by: B3 via Av U on January 19, 2013, 07:37:58 am
Hey guys!

I am not new to OpenBVE, over the summer I tried it and it would not work, it kept giving me some of this "OpenBVE has stopped working" crap every single time I tried to run it.
So, today I might be trying to download again from http://odakyufan.zxq.net (http://odakyufan.zxq.net) and I want to ask about the dependencies.
I know I need OpenAL, SDL, and I already have .NET Framework (I am a Windows 7 user!) So, after I extract and install the dependencies, what do I do with them? Leave them sitting around? Run them when I play the game? Honestly, this is my first post on this site and I have turned to you guys for help. Everything is appreciated.

On a side note, I did have a screenshot of OpenBVE when it decided to mess itself up, but I think I deleted it. :(

OpenAL executable needs to be ran and install, SDL DLL file must be dropped in the OpenBVE folder. This is straightforward and already explained here (http://odakyufan.zxq.net/openbve/install.html)

Alright, OpenBVE works (I can run the train), but the < > which supposedly control the brakes do nothing, but a and z serve their proper function. Also, whenever I am playing, I see a black void outside of the train, with signals floating in the air, and no stations, but I sometimes get a message like " You have passed -- station which you were supposed to stop at" or something like that. Can I have help?

If the screen shows up black tht means tht u need 2 reinstall the route. u should reinstall it with no other applications running. With some of the trains u would also have 2 reinstall them if u see the train and it appears as a grey & black box. I also run openbve and it works afterwards with no problems.

What's going on is kind of hard to explain, I will try to give you a screenshot to further your understanding tommorow.

I think this will explain the situation...

On a side note, when I want to begin a game I get this twice, then the game starts.

OpenBVE is unable to write to its own OPTIONS.CFG file.
You may need to disable Windows 7 UAC:

for this problem, u woild have 2 reinstall the route or figure out what dependencies it has and download them.

Here's how things are going w/ OpenBVE

I installed it, then I reinstalled it because I read the info guide and I messed up. However, I did a proper installation on my brother's computer, and since he has an Intel vPro i5 and I'm stuck with a stupid, slow Celeron, I just play it on his computer and it stays on my computer in case his computer is not available.

Hey, I'm back with a question!
Will installing OpenGL help OpenBVE?
