Okay, I tried using Vavoom with a copy of Strife I got. I'm running Windows XP, and I put the voices.wad and the strife1.wad files into the Strife folder in Vavoom, which is in the Strife folder. When I go to run it using Vavoom95.exe, it tells me that it V_Update: Fails to lock screen Stack trace: VSoftwareDrawer::Update <- SCR_Update <- Host_Frame Can anyone help me? Are there specific settings for Strife to make it run? TIA!

Alright, thanks! I'll give it a shot. Can't believe I missed that post though, I used the Search function and everything. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> edit: Uh, I don't have a config file in my Strife folder inside the vavoom folder. It's just the wads. There's a default.cfg outside of that folder where all the games are though, but I didn't see anything about resolution in there.' edit edit: I think it's because the computer I was trying to run it on didn't have an updated DirectX version, because I tried it on another and it worked great. Thanks for the help though, great work on the engine <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
