Flamebird 2 Probs

[Toftman]

Hi,

Wondered if anyone could help. Trying to work my way through the tutorial but I cannot run Flamebird 2. I get an error saying couldnt find fdl.lan which is supposed to be in the Help directory.Which it is!
Any help would be great.

Cheers,

did think the tutorial used flame bird,, doesnt it use its own fenix enviroment

 

[look]

what does your directory structure look like?

Is it flat or do you have directories?

 

[Toftman]

I did what it suggested in the tutorial I think.

C:\FENIX, then inside I have a folder for FENIX ( with the Fenix desktop.exe, FPG.exe etc..)

And also a Flamebird 2 folder.
Then when I try to run it to try the Hello World thing I get the error message.

thanks,

my suggestion is the same for all errors like this google looking for the file and download it and copy it mutliple times into all folders so that it can find it and that will hopefully solve it

 

[look]

Try following the instructions again.

I used the links from that pdf and did EXACTLY what it says.

Mine works.

I dont think you've unzipped firebird correctly.

Sorry for the late reply, but I have the exact same problem.
Downloaded several time but every time I get ".../help/fdl.lan could not be found".
And how can you not unzip something correctly?

where all the apps are fxi.exe ect,ect are go in the folder and at the directory copy it and when you get 2 fenix and in the thing where you need to insert the where abouts of the directory paste it and thats just about it i think

Anyway, is there somewhere an older version I can download, who knows maybe that'll work.

well i'v got version 2:11....

what version do you have?

 

[dwarrior]

Also got the 2.11.
If I'm correct, flamebird 2 is the same as flamebird 1 but in english.
Going to google for it. Hope it works.

fb 2:11 works for me... i'v done all EDs tutorials.

i really want to make a game i'v drawn out all the plans already and hoping to make it soon.

There is no version before 2.11 except for 0.8, which is pretty bloated and not that userfriendly. And for it not working, if you can type and have the path to the executables set correctly nothing can go wrong.

Yeah, I want to start a game too, but NO idea of what kind.


...any idea would be welcome

But I can't type any paths to executables, flamebird closes because of that error before I can do anything.

Given up on fenix before I even started
