Total conversion of RTS 1.0 for TGE 1.3 to TGE 1.4

by William Fox · in General Discussion · 05/12/2006 (2:45 am) · 29 replies

Tonight i finished a 3 week long project
I converted the RTS pack to a build solution for TGE 1.4
many forums posts led to my learning what was needed
and what was misleading or just down the wrong path

two GG employees corresponded thru email or chat
during this process
another commented frequently in the RTS General forum

the end result is anyone who purchases the 1.0 RTS starter kit
can have a fully 100 % clean functioning copy of RTS for TGE 1.4
in a matter of mins
the documentation is very concise and first user to build with my instructions
and hosted edits (.zips)
posted success 23 mins after I completed the post
a second after 29 mins
both said SUCCESS !!

so if you are holding off buying the RTS kit awaiting a 1.4 version
wait no longer its avail to any licenced RTS starter kit owner
under the RTS General Forum

and the build instructions might even help you with non RTS projects
the docs are very complete and include links to a free Visual C++ compiler
and the Microsoft developer SDK

this solution is for Visual C++ 8 and Visual C++ Express Edition VS2005

Dmitrity,

Thank you for creating this resource, however it's not yet marked as private. Please remove the download - we'll need to find a secure way to distribute this update.

Heh.. guess I'll wait until it's Officially Approved. Got plenty to keep me busy until that fateful day arrives.

Nice... I've been putting off buying RTS code pack for months waiting for 1.4 support!!!
Now I'm going to buy it as soon as I get home from vacation.

I have sent my RTS Beta 1-4 project to him
awaiting some email or post confirming reciept

yousend it shows
jkabus@synapse... RTS_Starter_Kit-1-4_Beta1.zip 11 MB Jul 31 2006
file needed to create usable RTS Build with out compiling I'll send instruction for install via seperate mail

I cant tell if he actually retrieved the file
it was loaded for 100 downloads in 7 days
there is no counter or tracking info

but he did say he would attempt to port over a RTS Starter KIT Beta1 merge tool for TLK
if he had the project

still waiting to see what develops here

my only other option is to create a VS2005 solution for TLK 1.4
and redo the RTS build from there
documentation is very good on this matter
but a tool from the TLK source would be best community resource
seeing as we are approaching 90 days on GG making my RTS Beta avail

I removed file from public download(after request from John Cabus,becouse you need both TLK and RTSKit licenses for use it and there is NO forum for users with both TLK and RTS access). Possibly next week i put patch for use with TLK Autopatch.

Updated version(basically binary patcher from TLK 1.4 to RTS with TLK 1.4) is ready.
Link is on RTS Kit private forum

Update jkabus has replied file was recieved and downloaded

RTS ver 1.4 beta and the tlk merge are coming with and will include
the new TLK 1.4.2

pointless for them to merge into the 1.4 build with current TLK
when the new improved 1.4.2 is just around the corner

very soon TGE 1.4 with RTS 1.4 beta and TLK 1.4.2 complete
ready to use after install
the ultimate alternative to a TSE solution

William,

Am I understanding you correctly? There is an imminent RTS update coming which will include 1.4.2 and TLK?

If so, you have any insight on when?
