Can't Download OGRE Studio

[hytparadisee]

I tried to download the installer as per your info from the stick post.

http://www.wreckedgames.com/files/OgreStudio.msi

But the content was not found.

May I have the updated link to the download?

Sorry, sticky is a bit outdated. There is no current binary release.

It is, however, extremely easy to build if you have VC8 (reported to work fine with #Develop also). https://www.wreckedgames.com/svn/

Therefore, grab a copy from https://www.wreckedgames.com/svn/ by checking out everything and run the .sln file to open right?

Yup. Do a rebuild all, and then start the debug version. Or, install the installer and you can easily start the release version.

Tried opening the sln workspace file, spitting out things like:

Code:

---------------------------
Microsoft Development Environment
---------------------------
Unable to read the project file 'VisualOgreCore.csproj'. The file 'G:\tempprojs\OGRE Studio\Core\VisualOgreCore\VisualOgreCore.csproj' is not a valid project file. The project file is missing the 'VisualStudioProject' section.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

And the file is not empty, but it is in an unfamilier format, but then again I only know the vcproj format...

Hmm, what compiler/IDE are you using?

The https://www.wreckedgames.com/svn/Core/VisualOgreCore.sln opens cleanly on every Visual Studio 2005 (Express / Standard / Team Edition) I've used. Hmm, maybe a clean checkout again will fix some line ending issues or something.

No, that's not it, apparently the sln and vcproj is backwards compatible with VC2k3, but C# is not, of course, its microsoft...

I would install VC2k5 (I own standard), but I do not feel like dealing with manifest file issues, dll's just make so much more sense (and you don't need freakin 2m+ installers to install a 12kb executable...).

You can try with #Develop than, but you still need to get .Net 2.0 since the code is written in it. I believe #Develop can easily import the VC Solution file. I don't think it is at all possible to build a .Net 2.0 app inside of VC2003, but I could be wrong. Though, if it is possible, probably some sort of hack knowing how MS operates

[OvermindDL1]

VS2k3 supports .NET 2.0 as I recall, just the project file is not backcompat like for the solution and C++ project files.  It was VS2k2 that only supported .NET 1.1.  I have built .NET 2.0 apps locally as I recall.

Although, .NET * has never worked well on any of my computers, can't really run any .NET app (and yes it is installed fully and properly, reinstalled, etc...); they 'run', but with weird random lockups or heavy slowdowns.  I really do not like .NET, not even multiplatforum unlike C++...
