Radiant on Win7 64
« on: May 27, 2011, 11:11:54 AM »
Has anyone got a version to work yet?  I have tried 1.4, 1.5 of gtk radiant and 1.6/zero radiant, but I can't seem to get past a "synapse  initialization failed" No such file or directory.  Thoughts?

as far as i know with windows 7(I am a windows 7 user) and radiant you have to do this

Go to the Start Menu(button on lower left)
search "compatibility"
then hit the "Run programs made for previous made versions of Window" button
Hit the run button
let it detect issues
find you GTK radiant in the next window(if it is in your Program Files x86)
if it isnt in your Program Files x86 hit the Not Listed button at the top of the list and browse and find it
then when it says what windows version hit Window XP
then run a test run
it should work well :< (I got mine to work that way)

I used Radiant 1.5 under win7 64bit without issue. You may need to install .net framework 2.0 or something like that to get it to run. There was some microsoft update I had to do to get it to run.. Once you get it working don't update framework again or you might end up screwed.. happened to me so i reinstalled everything and never let it update again.

I used no compatibility settings. It just worked.

To say radiant on win7 is a nono is silly when im sure plently of legit map makers use it.. And even illegit like my science map were made on it. :)

So my problem was I didn't use an installer for gtk radiant 1.5, and followed guides for compiling your own.  While I still had the error with 1.4 (synapse???) installer, 1.5 is up and running.  Now we need to start a class for map making pipeline.  Whose in?

Well I personally think tutorials are the way to go.. Flame might have the time to teach the same things over and over to a new person everytime but I sure dont! We ought to get more tutorials written.. It would be nice if someone would rewrite the tutorials from all of the other links we have.. Some of them are crappy. :)

If you get stumped ask on the forums one of us will answer :)
