Title: One more question
Post by: Widgetewye on July 01, 2011, 01:57:57 pm

There are 2 fs2_open files in my FreeSpace directory,

fs2_open_3_6_12_INF_d
fs2_open_3_6_12_INF_r

They both seem to run the game, what are the differences?

Thanks

The one ending in "d" is a DEBUG build. It is to be used only when you are experiencing problems and someone asks you to generate a debug log, or alternatively when you are making your own mod and want to eliminate all errors and warnings from it; the debug build will show you them and then you can do your stuff to remove them.

The one ending in "r" is a RELEASE build and is meant for actual playing.
