Hi,
Nothing on the "function pointers have moved" for Windows XP Professional
seem to work.
Now that I have seen the code, I think rebasing the DLLs should work.
I had hoped that XP Service Pack 2 would cure this as reading the Microsoft
small print said that it would make XP more like Windows 2000 which AFAIK,
has no problem running Quake2.
But no such luck.
What I found was a Russian post where changing the offset's and bytes for
version 3.20 in gamex86.dll gets round the problem.
For offsets for
Offset in Hex Change Hex byte
1 to byte 2
baseq2\gamex86.dll: 11E3F 74->EB
xatrix\gamex86.dll: 1346A 74->EB
rogue\gamex86.dll: 1DABD 74->EB

More like Win2k?!?!?!?! LOL! Is that Mico$hafts way of saying they made a
mistake?!
Maybe they shouldve upgraded win2k and called it Windows 2003! or something.
Theyre a bunch of dickweeds. |

I have tried to locate the offset hex strings with several hex editors
with no avail. What are the exact hex strings I should be looking for?

What I stated below. Those are offsets (which means the first byte in the
DLL is offset 0), in hex.
You should find ASCII 116 at that exact offset.

very very cool ! this error occurs also under win98 in certain maps. I
didn't find an explanation for this anywhere since now.
Gotta try your dll for maps which caused this error ( for example "Earth" by
Roger Ritenour ) >> Stay informed about: "function pointers have moved" - SOLVED for XP |
