Ares 0.3 RC Part Deux
Hi guys,
here's the second Release Candidate for Ares 0.3. The changes are few and minor, mostly of the internal kind (how certain constants are named and the like, really not that interesting). One feature was added: The UnitDelivery SW now supports SW.Deferment, defaulting to "should work as it always did". So this is what you might want to check, if anything.
Aside from that, I also updated Syringe (included in RC2) to support to more actively diagnose problems. If you run a modified copy of YR, you will see about it in syringe.log. If you try to run Ares without the YR 1.001 patch, or together with RockPatch or a derived patch, Ares should not load any more. In any case, the log will point out what the reasons are.
If Syringe doesn't work at all, please refer to the included readme.txt to obtain the Visual C++ 2010 runtime files. I used a different compiler and thus the 2008 runtimes required previously will not be enough. This also means that Windows xp RTM and earlier will not be supported any more. Windows xp SP1 and later will still work. If you have notes or comments about this, post here.
I'd like to give you some time to check whether this causes problems so you can complain. Depending on your answers, Ares 0.3 could be out in two weeks (though it won't be called Ares Summer Edition for the Northern Hemisphere). _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Yeah, sorry, it too late occured to me that you were aiming for this day. I had the RC done on tuesday already and, if I weren't that lazy, could have released it back then. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
lol no prob, I'm not demanding that you work to my schedule, just thought it was a funny coincidence
Would be great if you could also make syringe show a pop up error when it tries to run Ares with NPatch or YR v1.0. I get way to many messages from ppl complaining that D-day doesn't work because of that >.>
I even got one guy who didn't realize he had to uncompress the rar file, he just put it in the RA2 folder & ran the game normally... _________________
So, any confirmation that the RC2 with the new Syringe version works? I could assume it does, but if people start to cry later because it isn't working for them, well... that would be sad. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
