Uploaded ACC 1.27. It's just for some new features in ZDoom 2.0.38.

Does this new ACC work in Windows XP? If not, how can i get the compiller for Windows XP (I very need scripts in my maps).

ACC is compiled as DOS-32bit module (protected environment). Why should not it
work under XP?

It's up to ACC 1.30 now.

DOS version

http://zdoom.org/files/utils/acc130.zip

Windows version

http://zdoom.org/files/utils/acc130win.zip

Both work under XP, but I believe WadAuthor prefers the DOS version because it does something odd like trick programs it calls into believing windows isn't there.

IIRC, it really has to do with how WA redirects (and traps) output. Window console programs don't work exactly the same way. Seems I worked on that a long time ago and that's 1 reason I decided to output a file instead

I wonder what ppl claim that certain (DOS-)games do not work anymore with XP. In 16-bit mode it's just like ever since DOS v3.0, and if someone compiled a game in 32-bit DOS mode, they would know the new functions.

certain dos games don't work under NT, try and run any game that uses the build engine, you'll have to do a serious amount of hacking and patching to get it running and even then I doubt it'll be stable. or try and get sound working with doom2.exe. less complex programs will run fine (dehacked, console programs etc etc) but that's about it. XP has a couple dos emulation improvements over NT and win2k but they're still not native dos operating systems (like win9x) so it's really trying to run dos software on an os that can only emulate (actually it's a vm, so it more tricks the software into thinking it's running on dos) dos at best.

Yeah, now I've got ACC 1.30 for win, but compilling scripts I must do manually, because that I'm using WadAuthor. I've got also ACC 1.30 for dos (that witch should work with WadAuthor), but it doesn't work in WinXP.

It does work in XP. All it does are some simple BIOS calls which are fully supported by XP's DOS VM. If you have WadAuthor installed in a directory with a space (such as C:\Program Files\WadAuthor), that will keep WadAuthor from being able to use ACC. WadAuthor doesn't like spaces in directory names.

thx for advice, i'll try it.

doommaster · Post by **doommaster** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 6:22 am

It works just perfect! Stupid wadauthor and its spaces

Thx, I won't have problems with scripts now.

Well that is what I experienced when I last run a hardware-poking program under
XP.
