OK,

so i have my source code written, my .X models, and all textures and sounds. everything to make a game. BUT. what is necessary to make it all work, to make a .EXE and associated files that i can give to someone else via download or a CD?

because i tried compiling my game, and giving a person that .exe file, and all the media, but it won't run.

if there is an in depth tutorial, point me in the right direction.
otherwise, what are the steps, what needs to be done?
thanks in advance.

This is the wrong topic, this forum is about 3D modeling, but to answer your question you need to copy all the media to the project folder and just sate the name like:

rather than

Because that is too direct for someone elses computer to load it hope that helped.
Also if your using DBPRO, you can encyrpt the media into the program as an option.

In DBPro ide with your project loaded, select Settings, then EXE With Attached Media. Then select Media, and ADD all media. Make sure you "Save All" as well as Save Source.

Then compile with make EXE. I put all my media in the same directory
I compile to as well. This seems to work well when I try the EXE copied to my laptop. Too, the laptop is a good test since it doesn't have the latest video capibilities, so if it works there, it should work anywhere.

ok here's what i do...

i put all of the media into a folder called "media" in the project directory (I.E. i put the media folder into C:/programs/darkbasicsoftware/darkbasicpro/projects/*project name here*)
in my program i load the media like this

Quote: "load image "media/fartingman.bmp",1"


then when i'm done i put the exe into a folder...then i put the folder "media" into the folder then i zip/rar it

then it will run on anyother computer
