Hello!

I apologize beforehand for the topic does not relate to dgvoodoo directrly, but i just dont know whom to ask anymore. I am trying to modify ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal game, specifically the .scn files. I googled for editors and there are such stuff on GitHub(i.e. https://github.com/Helco/zzio), BUT it needs to be compiled - which i tried and failed. My PC is also slow so downloading full visual studio IS a problem. I googled that ZanZarah was written on rendeware engine, and it even has a studio - so i downloaded that but it doesnt load .scn files too. Seeing as zanzarah cant work on modern pc without DgVoodoo perhaps you know of some ways or tools to mod the game?

You don't have to compile. Just go to: https://github.com/Helco/zzio/releases
Click on Assets to expand it, and download zzre-win-x64.zip

1) VLSI SCAMP /286@20 /4M /CL-GD5422 /CMI8330
2) i420EX /486DX33 /16M /TGUI9440 /GUS+ALS100+MT32PI
3) i430FX /K6-2@400 /64M /Rage Pro PCI /ES1370+YMF718

Thank You!

But unfortunately the realese version i downloaded does not contain sceneeditor. while the source code has the designated folder for that tool. Unless i dont understand something.

I suggest you to join their discord server https://discord.com/invite/tbx44mQQQK
I joined it and found out that Helco is in there. Good luck.

BTW - you don't need Visual Studio for compile. Net core SDK is enough.

cite:

1    Install a recent .NET 7 SDK
2    Run ./get-dependencies.sh in the root repository folder
3    Now you should be able to build zzio.sln using the dotnet CLI or your favorite IDE

So after installing SDK, you have to execute following (in console - either cmd or powershell)
1.) ./get-dependencies.sh
2.) dotnet build zzio.sln

okay so:

1 the version i Downloaded from Assets DOES have a scene editor/viewer, but there is no way to save the changes .(rofl!!!)

2 i have installed net 7 sdk and ran get-dependencies.sh in cmd but it uses old net.framework 3.5 code (dont know how to turn it off/change it) - all i get is a load of errors.
