| Get new version here - thanks MARG!!! http://mysite.freeserve.com/peepandguinnie/virus_remake.zip All feedback welcome including suggestions for new features. F5 changes controls from Mouse / Joystick / Demo F1/F2 Swap Tracked object Space - Fire missile You can't play it on less than 400x300 mode but I still prefer it like that with the original view - nostalgia I guess!!

| solid stuff man! |
| ||
| I got a memory access violation. Since it works on jfk's machine you might have entity or mesh pointers in floats. Or something different.. :). Don't think it's files missing. |
| ||
| Thanks jfk. @ Bouncer - Nah, all entity and mesh pointers are definately Ints - I know that floats can cause problems. I'm not doing anything fancy as you can probably tell - so not sure what the problem could be here .. sorry. I've just done radar and windmill objects and hope to add some new ships soon - a Repulsor, Super Fighter, Mothership and maybe allied ships to assist you on later levels. |
| ||
| i also get a memory acces violation. |
| ||
| ?!! I wish I knew why that was happening 'cos it works fine here. I take it you get past the mode & view select screens and then get the error? Do you see anything? Do you hear any sounds? I doubt it but are you running it in less than 400x300 mode? |
| ||
| Works great here, although chugs somewhat at 640x480x32 on 4X display when you're near the ground and it's drawing a lot. But it's a crackingly good remake so far! It's a pity that V2000 was so poorly received. |

| Bouncer, some blitz stuff you can't run out or a zip folder or shortcut. It won't run the exe in the correct directory. try unzipping to a folder and running it directly. |
| ||
| arbitrage: (eventho your reply was ment for bouncer) even if i unpack it to disk it gives a memory acces violation error. stevieG: i boot the game, i choose a videomode (windowed or full screen don't behave different) then the screen turns black and it gives me the memory access violation error. my systems is: amd 3000+ 512ram radeon 9800pro. maybe it is an ati thingy? dunno, just speculating :) |
| ||
| Now that I have some details .. (thanks koekjesbaby!!) The offending item was this * command just after selecting the videomode (don't ask me why it's there!!). Strange how it worked on other machines though? I've removed it but will probably be a few days before I can get it uploaded again. * Graphics3D 640,480,0,2 This is how the 'borrowed from 3d examples' code sets the windowed mode, do I have to set a depth? Function SetGfx() Print info1$:Print info2$:Print info3$:Print info4$:Print If Windowed3D() yn$=Input$( "Use windowed mode?" ) If Left$( Lower$( yn$ ),1 )="y" HidePointer Graphics3D 640,480,0,2 SetBuffer BackBuffer() Return EndIf EndIf |

| Memory access violation here see sig for spec |
| ||
| Top game... Absolutely lovely... Andy |
| ||
| did you re-upload the file? because when i download it again i still get the memory access violation. :( what i hadn't noticed before (i have my speakers off 90% of the time because most webdisigners can't live with the fact that sound is not their buisiness) was that some sound is playing (wind/atmospheric noise). hope it helps, can't wait to see it work. |
| ||
| i think if you say zero for the depth it will use the current desktop mode, tho i think i heard of some problems with this. |
| ||
| Still a memory access violation here. Shame as i enjoyed the old virus on the amiga |
