I finally got DROD 2.0 to compile and it runs fine; however, when I go into the editor it doesn't show anything in the preview box (lower-right corner thing) and if I click on edit room in crashes. (Also, I can't play an existing hold, but that's been discussed elsewhere.)

Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

Edit: On a second look, the "DROD couldn't load the saved game. There is probably an error in DROD that needs to be fixed. It could be that game was saved with a previous version of DROD, and this version is unable to load it" problem is only mentioned once elsewhere and there was no replies to it.

Edit (Again): I've been looking through the source code and I was wondering if the data files with the source code include any styles? I downloaded a style and stuck it in the bitmaps directory but I don't think it included all of the files.

Edit (Sorry): I replaced the .dat files in the DROD 2.0 Source with the ones that came with the DROD demo (for my own use only). It fixed both problems, so there must be something important missing from the empty .dat files that come with the source.

For 2.0.7+ source code to work, the drod.ini needs to contain the [Graphics] section. I'm not sure what influence the .dat files would have, however.

Oh. I see.

(I just tried again with the blank dat files and added the graphics section to the ini. I downloaded a Style1 and a GeneralTiles file but it still crashes. This time, as soon as I click on the build button.)

I noticed this problem, but I copied my data files over from my working installation of JtRH (with the same version #). After that, it worked fine.
