This doesn't work anymore

[danieldanielecki]

The installation with yarn install/yarn dev is no longer working. This is both for master and typescript branch.

The master branch in a browser shows only black screen on the localhost:3000 with some errors in the console:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
:3000/assets/import/LARGE.DAT:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

    at LoaderPlugin.nextFile (LoaderPlugin.js:827)
    at BinaryFile.onLoad (File.js:331)

The typescript branch has local hardcoded dependency pngjs (see issue #54). Even when setting this as latest it complains about node_modules/fsevents/fsevents.node file. This file can be cleaned up and the error disappears. However, then in a terminal I can see another error (node:7713) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'assets/import/PAL_MSTR.BMP' and Electron's starting page.

Can you please take a look into these issues and let us know?

[lukigarazus]

Does anyone look at this anymore?

@danieldanielecki Have you put PAL_MSTR.BMP file from SimCity 2000 in the specified location and are still having the problem?

[nicholas-ochoa]

I'll try and look at this later this week. Most likely I'll just push the local dependency out (it's a fork of pngjs) but even then this is not in any state that is remotely playable / usable.

Please keep in mind, it doesn't currently "do" anything besides convert the tiles into PNG and start the load process.

[danieldanielecki]

@dfloer - where can I get the file from?

@nicholas-ochoa - were you able to do any progress?

[dfloer]

@danieldanielecki Retail copy of the game, not sure where you can buy the Windows 95 version these days. It can't be included here because the game seems copyright protected.

[danieldanielecki]

Ohh so basically from the repo it's infeasible to clone the game.

So how should we solve this problem now

[dd123-a]

have you finish this problem

[danieldanielecki]

nope, I gave up that time

[dd123-a]

nope, I gave up that time

Perhaps you can try this project： https://github.com/pdeva/OpenSC2K . I have successfully built it with this, but of course its functionality is not yet complete, as his readme said, but he does not lack the so-called confusing files there

[dd123-a]

nope, I gave up that time
By the way, you need to change the file of package.json to adapt to version changes in order to build successfully, at least on my machine
