[Tool] FTL Ship Editor: Superluminal [NOT UPDATED TO AE]

[MrGruffly]

Oh sorry I have a 64 bit windows

[kartoFlane]

Well, crap. I'm clueless.

Huh. On the other hand, do you happen to be using Windows 8? If I recall correctly, the UI library the editor uses does not support Windows 8 yet.

[MrGruffly]

Sadly I have windows 7, so I have no clue what is wrong. Well thank you for trying.

[MrGruffly]

Could it be possible that the download is not working or something? Or is there anyway I could do anything with the java script to manual change it to 64 bit or something?

[MrGruffly]

I have been poking around the 64 bit version and I am not really a programer so I might just be being stupid here, but in the superluminal_win64_lib folder there's a swt.jar that has swt app extensions that all have things saying win32 such as "swt-awt-win32-4234.dll" and "swt-gdip-win32-4234.dll" and so on. Could this have anything to do with why it is saying I have the 32 bit version downloaded?

It might be possible that your Java installation is acting up in a weird way. I see no other reason for this (double checked the upload to confirm I didn't butcher anything), so you might just try reinstalling Java.

Also, get this. It's a slightly updated version of the editor with more startup debug messages. Hopefully it'll help pin-point the issue.
Also, double-click the .bat file instead of the exe to start the editor - it'll start the program in debug mode.

Regarding contents of the library, the win32 is fine -- it's a name of the windowing system Windows uses (the same for both 32 and 64 bit) - analogically, it's Cocoa for Mac, and GTK for Linux-based systems.

Ok, I uninstalled and then reinstalled my java. I've downloaded the updated version you just gave me and when I double click the .bat file an error message pops up that says "Windows cannot find'javaw.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." and also I tried running the .exe and it gave me this debug.log:

Code: Select all

ERROR: SWT cannot be loaded. Aborting.
SWT: win32, version: 4234
OS: Windows 7, arch: x86
This error means that you have downloaded the wrong version of Superluminal for your system.

[MrGruffly]

Alright so I decided to go download superluminal onto my bros laptop (just to try and see if it was just my computer or something) and he didn't have java so I downloaded the 64 bit onto his computer because he has pretty much the same everything as mine (windows 7 and all that) and then i downloaded both the 64 bit and the updated version you told me to download and got the exact same things that I got on my computer with the same errors for everything and all that. This is really weird.

[kartoFlane]

Very very weird. This definitely should not be happening.

Before I give up completely, where did you download the Java VM from? The official site is the most obvious and likely choice, but there are some other JVMs - figured I'd take that out of the picture.

If you really feel like it, you may also try the 32-bit version (x86) of Java, maybe it'll work (to make sure everything fine, uninstall the currently installed version of Java first). Link: JRE downloads

...huh, wait a second

I have checked my java type and I have a 64-bit

Code: Select all

OS: Windows 7, arch: x86

So, you have Java 64-bit installed on Windows 7 32-bit.
That's likely the cause of the problem. 32-bit Java on 64-bit OS is fine, but not the other way around.
Uninstall the 64-bit Java, get 32-bit (x86) in its place, and see if it works.

I have just check and my computer says it is running a 64 bit windows operating system. Here just to make sure that I'm not crazy http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4548/efow.png
