It's Not Working

[hive]

im not very happy because whenever i click on it to start up the application it says "this application has failed to start because sdl.dll was not found."

[Grum]

a) what application, the game or the map editor?

if the game: wrong forum, better post in help me

c) if the map editor: is it in the same folder as the game? And if so, does the game start?

d) is there a file called sdl.dll in your EL folder?

 

Provide some more information please, just saying that it doesn't work doesn't help us solve the problem.

 

EDIT: turned off the stupid smilies.

Did you download and instal the Full Game, not just the update? The update doesn't include things that didn't change, like sdl.dll

[giannis]

Do a search in your hard drive for SDL.dll.Copy that file and paste it to the directory that the .exe file is. Then run the map editor again and you will see that Hopefuly it will run or else you will get a message saying:

 

 

" The application Failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application." And i have no clue how to fix that.
