Try installing 64-bit SlimDX from here: https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/slimdx/SlimDX%20Runtime%20.NET%204.0%20x64%20(January%202012).msi

No change unfortunately. x64 still doesn't work and the crash is still ocurring

In times of yore, running the DB2 installer would install all necessary software to have a working editor.
That was with Windows 7, but from what others have mentioned this also works with Windows 10.
After that you can install GZDBBF.r3012 and it should work.

[edit]
If you have .NET Framework 4.6 installed then installing the x86 version of r3018 shouild also work.
And if you have a 64 bit system, the same goes for the x64 version of r3018.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a shot

To fix my black screen issue, i simply deleted everything from the GZDB's install folder and dropped in version 2.3.0.3012 (0a5a2e8) which should be this one if i'm not mistaken: https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdbbf/GZ ... x-r3012.7z

After this it works even if i don't have the latest version, but it's better than nothing.

The r3018 versions are build against .NET Framework 4.6.x.
Do you have that installed on your system ?

Just checked in regedit, i do have 4.6.1 (DWORD: 394271), Windows 7 user

Okay, so 4.6.1 seems to be installed.

When you run r3018, what does the generated GZBuilder.log logfile say ?
Perhaps that could provide a clue. Upload its contents for someone to look at.

Nevermind, i've just tried updating again after one week of using the outdated ver. and did manage to get it working for some reason. I've clean reinstalled everything and that did it apparently.

Looks like SlimDX version change issue. I honestly still don't know how GZDB interacts with SlimDX — it clearly has it bundled, but it won't work without also installing it system-wide, so I don't understand why bundle it then..?
But this is done ever since CodeImp's very first DB2, so idk. Should make sense, probably.

There seems to be something wrong with the acc.exe that's included in 3018 (in fact with the one that came with 3012). It won't compile scripts for me, telling me that it can't find zcommon.acs. Apparently it won't look for include files in the folder where the .exe is. Also, the acc.exe versioned 1.56 that comes with GZDB-BF isn't the official 1.56 (why?).

Here's a test I made. My script file is pretty simple:

Code: Select all • Expand view

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 open
{
   Print(s:"Hello, world!");
}

So my test directory strucute looks like this:

d:\test
d:\test\hello.acs
d:\test\acc156 (with acc.exe, zcommon.acs etc)
d:\test\acc-gzdbbf-3018 (with acc.exe, zcommon.acs etc)

As expected, replacing the acc.exe that comes with GZDB-BF with the official one also lets me compile the scripts from the script editor.

Odd. Will check.

As for acc: this acc was given to me by someone... I forgot who honestly, but someone with pink nickname on ZDoom Discord ;P
Because "devbuilds are too old and this is the latest-latest build".
edit: actually I built it myself, but yea, it's one of the devbuilds.

[Kappes Buur]

Hmmm, I wonder what the difference is between the two

• This is version 1.56 (Oct 24 2017)
• This is version 1.56 (Apr 10 2018)

since acc.exe on the github page had not been updated since Oct 2017.

[Xabis]

Looks like the Apr 10 version is no longer including its base directory as a search path, so its no longer finding the zcommon.acs

A quick fix is to update the acc script params to pass the compiler dir in as an include.

I have attached a quick patch as a workaround.
