V-Ludwig. exe

[sunshinegold]

Can anyone tell me why when we download games, like V-Ludwig we do not get the executable file.  I got an ACWin.exe which does nothing.  It says I need Ludwig.exe file which is not there when I unzip the game

Other example = Pizza Quest.

is it the configuration programme that you're trying to run?
just rename ACWIN to the exe that it says it want's, or edit the configuration file.

This is indeed strange thing. I don't recall downloading any games without exe file!
For an AGS game - I think this is just an exception, try with some other games.
But yes, many AGSers forget to incude configuration exefile with their games -  which is a headache sometimes, like when they have originally turned on antialiased sprites, for example...

As I mentionned, I just downloaded 2 games with the same problem.   VonLudwig and Pizza Quest.

I have been playing lots of AGS games and had no problems before.  Yet when I go into the comments of these AGS games I see that few (maybe 2 or 3) others have been able to play these games.

okay, the exe isn't missing, the bat file which runs the setup programme is looking for vludwig.exe, ACWIN.exe contains the actual game, if you want to configure the game then you need to either rename to EXE or edit the bat file and point it at the EXE file, also remember this is a dos game, so if you're using win2k or xp, you might not get any sound depending on your soundcard, i have an Audigy 2ZS, no chance of me getting sound from dos apps that vmdsound doesn't support

That's okay, I didn't put any sounds in VOnLudwig, anyway.  And it is a windows compile, so you don't have to worry about mean old DOS crashing your machine.

i actually realised it was windows shortly after i posted (the clue was in ACWIN) but couldn't be arsed to change it

Hi, Unilin.

I am not asking about the sound but just how to get that Ludwig.exe file in order to play your game.

ACWIN.EXE *is* the correct file.  If I follow the above conversation correctly, there is no Ludwig.exe file.  Acwin should contain the whole game.
