I have a hard time getting past level one. lol How long does one have to drive to get to level 2?
(btw (by the way) I did not see an intro video when running the program. I did watch it by going to the install directory and running the file directly from there. As long as the wmv file is in the same directory as the Brutus2D exe, as it is, then Brutus2D will find the file fine. No need to hard code a path the file, which might be different on other peoples computers.)

yeah i found a lot of problems after i posted it up here. i will post it again later tonight. the video didnt go, and i think i compiled level 2 wrong. level 1 goes, untill you hear the 2nd song end. it doesnt take too long, but is VERY hard.

Hello Oddchild, Downloaded the file okay tonight. FYI-- the file is ~ 7.5 Meg because it includes an extra copy of the setup file in it. As for the Game: I'll be honest, I still can't get past level one. I did not see any video play either, when is this suppose to happen? I played level 2 by going to the install directory and running the exe. I was unable to catch up with anyone and the character just stayed on the screen. Level three did not wish to run. Some string error message appears. I like the choices of background music. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next installment.

I can't figure out how he got that error, on level 2.
I will release a new version in a few days. It seems that the video doesnt close automaticly, but just goes invisible. I will program a work around with a 3rd party language, since I cant figure it out (discussion in other thread)

I will take a look at the code and see if I can see anything.
But, the file seems to be a bad zip.
Can you rezip it and re-upload it.
Thanks.

Downloaded rar file is good.
After looking at the code, the problem is in this line, line #190:
graphics.settext "Press ''Space'' to talk to people.", 0, 450, Font1a', 50, 50
What happens is in the IDE it works. As an EXE is fails. This is because part of the process for making the EXE is to remove comments in order to make the smallest possible EXE. However, the single quote " ' " is what is used to denote the start of a comment. And apparently this is inadvertently being removed as a comment. I will look into this for the next release.
In the meantime you can use the ASCII value of a single quote. Like so:
graphics.settext "Press " & Chr(39) & Chr(39) & "Space" & Chr(39) & Chr(39) & " to talk to people.", 0, 450, Font1a'

mmm.... I am still getting the same error as before. Thanks for the help, though. Do you have any other ideas? I have checked to make sure that all my loops are closed, and if statements...

I located the issue by commenting out that line and then makeing a successful EXE.
Try commenting out that line and seeing if your EXE works. (or any other line that might have single quotes inside of double quotes).

Download Links: christianmissiontrips.org/TractBoySetup.exe Changes: The video should now play at the begining. * Levels are all linked together. * Level 2 Should load faster * Level 3 Preview I am planning on making level 4 like level 2 but have cops in the crowd that can arrest you.
