Title: Current FS2_Open won;t build
Post by: Inquisitor on August 25, 2002, 10:42:59 am: Just an FYI. It's related to RT's movie code, needs some DX 8 files.

Might get penguin to show me how to tag a DX8 dev build so we can continue to work on stuff without breaking the build and requiring everyone to have the DX8 SDK for windows builds.

It WILL eventually be required, I am guessing.

Anyway, this has been a public service announcement :)

Remember guys you don't have to download it, lots of PC gamer mags have coverdisks with DX8 on it; or even better, borrow a mate's coverdisk! :D

Hopefully, you don't have dialup if you're downloading it...:eek:

Do you need the SDK to RUN a compiled version? Or just the standard plug-in?

Post by: Grey Wolf on August 26, 2002, 12:24:21 am: Good. And thank you, BioWare, for not only giving me a 1337 RPG, but the DirectX plug-in to play the new build of FS2.
