Can you provide log output from cmd console when starting Wargus?

Hmm... My comment did not get posted... Guess I will repeat it:

When I try to run debugger in cmd.exe it does the same thing as trying to run Wargus itself. Or it will display what I posted above in that log, it complains that there is too many files, any option I pick makes it do nothing. I also included the install log, and I watched it carefuly and I got the same install info on the log posted above, and to me it doesn't look right, so it could be the problem. This version is currently unstable without the expansion.

Same issue here.

• Original WarCraft 2 DOS Expansion CD
• Stratagus 2.2.6
• Wargus 2.2.6
• Windows 7 64bit

I don't get any output from CMD.

try to run stratagus from command line (cmd.exe) with wargus data:

cd "path_to_stratagus"
stratagus.exe -d "path_to_wargus"

Success!

Copy and pasting the Stratagus.exe into the Wargus folder works to.

Why not just package Stratagus.exe with Wargus?

So there is bug in wargus.exe binary.

[timfel]

(by pali)
wargus.exe binary is using stratagus-game-launcher.h file:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stratagus/stratagus/trunk/view/head:/gameheaders/stratagus-game-launcher.h

linux/ubuntu version working fine, so problem will be somewhere in #ifdef WIN32

can somebody who using windows look at this problem?

I tried wargus(svn) vs stratagus(2.2.6) and it fail (normal) (I did that almost to feed registry with the installation)

Then, I tried with both svn version (wargus/stratagus),
and after fixing an error (introduced after 2.2.6) to find the data path (which creates a messageBox)
It works for me.

Note that wargus.exe is nearly just a "link" to stratagus.exe -d Drive:\Path\To\wargus
(In addition, it checks if stratagus is installed and if data is present...)

Note that, for Windows, wargus looks in registry to find stratagus.exe
(so if you install multiple version of stratagus in different folder, wargus may find a bad version of stratagus)

Last note, in the "cmd log.txt" you give, I see you use -w option which is not a valid option (case sensitive, -W exists)
but I don't understand where the 'too many files' come from :-/

Joris, is stratagus-game-launcher.h and wargus.exe working on your computer (with correct installation)?

Now I found problem which cause that wargus.exe binary is now working. Problem is in stratagus-game-launcher.h - we need to escape string which contains path to data dir. Bug is fixed in bzr trunk.
