Okay I just startedusing the SGDK, and after using 1.46(IIRC), I saw this thread and tried out the new one.
To answer your questions:
1. Can you run SGDK2 at all -- does it come up when you run the EXE?
2. Can you load the sample project SHFL.sg2?
3. Can you edit the map in the sample project (see the graphics in the map editor)?
3b. If Not, what exactly does the error message say?
4. Can you run the sample project (F5 key after loading the project)?
4b. If Not, what exactly does the error message say?
5. What version of DirectX do you have installed?
Answers as follows.....
1.) Yes
2.) Yes
3.) Yes
3b.) no errors
4.)Yes
4b.) again no errors
5.) Direct X9
Guess my system specs may matter so here goes: AMD Athlon XP+2200/512mb ram/XP Home... bascially your standard run of the mill desktop PC.
I must say that ver 2.0 looks alot nicer, I havent really gotten into the nuts and bolts of either version so I cannot really comment on the differences, but from a purely aesthetic POV, it looks good, and I expect it works well, tho I will report any probs if I have them.
Hope that helps, best of luck, Graiskye
