Oh, but I keep getting a message about "new sitemap system does not work".

If you're on linux you're going to need to convert the sitemaps file from DOS format to UNIX format.

EDIT: This save file segfaults when waiting a day. I don't have any guesses as to why right now.

[Carlos Gustavos]

It takes some fiddling, but it works, thanks!

Oh, but I keep getting a message about "new sitemap system does not work".

Also, it requires a few files from the current "official" version.  Pdcurses mainly.

And the downloader needs to make their own "art" folder, and place files within.

Yes, it is not a complete download. You should put the files in an already existing LCS installation.

Which executable works for you? Do you need any of the dlls included?

Recruits and dates seem to be somewhat broken in general at the moment. Only the creature pool is written out to the savefile properly (i.e. by exporting it as XML rather than just fwrite()ing the object directly), but recruits and dates don't go in the creature pool. I'm not sure whether it's worth it to try to change things so that recruits and dates do go in the creature pool too, or whether one should just write both of them to the savefile in a less destructive way.

[Carlos Gustavos]

I've changed so recruit and date creatures are now written to and read from file like the pool creatures (not that they are in the pool).

Could anyone enlighten me what the latest version is? The first post in this thread was last edited in December 2009, yet it touts version 4.01.4 as the newest. The SourceForge page has version 3.19.4 as the latest, and according to the submission logs, things are getting changed as recently as 18 hours ago.

There's this thread a bit down the page:

I'm not sure if there is really an official version to it since it seems to be in between releases.

I was chased on foot by a single soldier while leaving the Fireman HQ and I played guitar at him to turn him liberal.  The next day, I went to steal a sportscar and as I left, I was chased by the same liberal soldier.

[EuchreJack]

That's not a glitch, she's just a major fan of your guitar playing!

Thanks, but I got it to work by implanting files from a different version.  The plain "crimesquad" worked for me.

The SouceForge page is rarely updated; the SVN repository is frequently updated. This thread has the latest stable release, the thread Derekristow linked is a newer pseduo-stable release, and if you download the source code and build it yourself, you'll get the most recent source code and an even more recent version of the game.

Not to be a bother, but what recommendation do you have for people who don't know how build/compile stuff?  I don't even really know what language LCS is written in.

[Janus]

The game is written in C++.

If people are interested, I could upload a Windows compile for the latest SVN version. It'd be compiled in VS2008 (so, .NET required), non-Unicode.

Learn.

[Derekristow]

Could you stick a compiling guide in here/in the SVN repository?  I've heard that there are certain files you need to leave out and such in order to get this to compile, but there isn't a good guide anywhere on exactly how.

[Janus]

If you're using Linux, it should compile fine.

If you're using Visual C++ on Windows, here's an updated project file based on SVN revision 472:
http://www.wimbli.com/lcs_vcproj_472.zip
It's also configured in the additional options to use STL markup so that Express (free) versions can compile it. Thanks go to Carlos Gustavos for posting the needed changes.

EDIT: for that matter, I might as well go ahead and post my compile of revision 472 for those people who can't/won't compile from SVN:
http://www.wimbli.com/lcs_win32_4.01.4_472.zip
That's the full standalone game package with the new XML data files and such. I haven't done anything to the code beyond listing the SVN revision in the game version number and giving the window a proper title. Any other changes from base 4.01.4 are by these other fine fellows.
Of course, as new SVN revisions are uploaded, it will become out-of-date, but for now it's current.

[Zangi]

Whats this?  A newer version?  I guess the changelog is a surprise then?

EDIT: OMG... I lurve whoever is updating this.  Some of these added features are fantastico.

Also, 5 strength, I be knocking down doors with my founder.  Granted, its in the slums...
