Has anyone compiled this yes for 64 bit Windows 7?? Or gotten the 32-bit version to run correctly?? Quake2World Loads for me, but the Menu dissapears right after it loads...

The menus are a little hosed at the moment; it's not a Windows 7 thing. You should be able to get to the console just fine, tho, and you can even tab-complete the map names and things to get acquainted with the game.

Welcome to the forum!

Oh, also, .. compiling it on Windows isn't *too* bad, but it requires a lot of libraries and this thing called MSYS (it's like MinGW on steroids). Let me know if you'd really like to go down that road and I'll hook you up.

I already have MSYS installed on my system, so if you want to send the info I will give it a run...And it's not a windows 7 issue, it seems to be a 64-bit issue. I tested it on a fresh install of windows 7 32-bit, and it works fine. A fresh install of windows 7 64-bit, menu is flaky. I did find as you mentioned that once you get to the console and then call up the menu, it works, just the mouse is a little low on clicking Shtuff!! Could you just load the menu background as a map and make each of the buttons, etc entities to "Shoot"?? Just thinking outloud, not really sure what the code look like for it as I don't have it yet :-)

P.S. I couldn't remember my old password, so I had to create a new account, lol. Weeee!!

You can pull the code down at svn://quake2world.net/quake2world/trunk. There's a shell script in there that installs (in theory) all of our dependencies inside of your MSYS environment. It has not been tested in a while and is definitely somewhat dated. I'm actually looking to update or do away with that script in the near future, as MSYS / MinGW now offers a "package manager" called ming-get. But that's probably a weekend-long project..

I can reset your PermaFragBait password if you like..

Yeah, I tried running that script yesterday and it hosed my MSys install...It looks like it deleted all the executables in the bin directory, so i couldn't even ls anymore :-) I am working on rebuilding it, and I am documenting the steps as I go, starting with installing SVN, etc....If you want, I can see about throwing it into a shell script, and sending it over so you don't have to hose your environment to do your testing...

PermaFragBait works fine, it's my old Jefe login that I can't figure out. I think I set that up with my old work e-mail from sasaki, so I can't even reset it!! :-)
