  1. Quote: Originally written by Frozen Feet: I have a problem of the most basic kind: I have no idea how to actually compile this game! My logic tells me there is a step-by-step guide somewhere... but so far my attempts to find one have been fruitless. So could someone give me a hint about what I need to compile the source, how do I do it and where should I look for further info? I've given it a shot myself, and here's what I can tell you so far. The first thing is to set up a Windows development environment. You can use these free tools: Visual C++ 2005 Express http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ Microsoft Platform SDK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;displaylang=en How to Use the Platform SDK in Express http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ Then you can make a Blades project with the code (.h, .cpp) and resource files (.rc) in it. If adding files to the project crashes Visual Studio, you need to patch it with the latest Service Pack. Now, the data does not need to be added to your project, but it does need to be in the right places. If you created the solution and project with the default directory structure, then the BladScen folder goes in your project directory because this is also the default working directory. The sounds folder should be named "blades" and placed in your solution directory (that is, one directory up from your project directory) -- the blades.rc resource file assumes the sounds path to be "..\blades", but you can change that to anything you like. That's all the steps I know to get working with Blades in Windows. Getting a successful build is another matter, which I leave to more talented Windows coders than I.
  2. My party has just slain Fred, the first angry bookshelf, in Redemption. As of today, when I load any save after a certain point in that scenario, the Hunter's Blade is gone from my inventory, though I never separated it from its wielder in any way, ever. For this scenario I have - a main save file just before going to bed in A&M's tower - a save in the Boemen Camp - three saves in the Murky Mine - two saves in the dream tower, one before fighting Fred and one after. Before today, I had the Hunter's Blade in all of them. Now only the Boemen Camp save still has it. Is there ANY way I can get it back?
