your modified version of YAFC is throwing this error.
It seems something is reffering to your folder structure on your HD?

hm... looks like it cannot find the SDL2.dll did you install it?

And on what OS are you running? (I only have access (and thus tested) Linux)
For Linux/MacOS the ShadowTheAge wrote this page for installing the required libraries.
I use Arch Linux and used pacman -S sdl2 sdl2_iamge sdl2_ttf to install the required sdl2 libraries.

Windows.

I downloaded you latest windows.zip release.
But that folder its showing isn't mine

I don't know much about C#/.Net so I don't know why these references of my local HDD are (still) present... I guess there is some setting for this? I'll take a look.
But AFAIK it should not influence the workings of the application..?

Thank you,

I was really hoping to test/see what you improved as the orignal Yafc waits until you can add it is a plugin.
Thats why i try to download it here ;)

I see they are not present in the Windows.zip (when comparing to the releases of ShadowTheAge).
I'll check how I can/should include them and do a new release to fix the issue (if you cannot wait you can grab them and copy them next to the other (extracted) files: SDL2.dll, SDL2_image.dll and SDL2_tff.dll seems missing)

Personally I cannot live without anymore... 😉 Being able to have an overview of all production tabs and tweaking the items shared between them in a single page is a huge time saver on big(ger) factories.

I should have fixed the Windows.zip package, now it includes the SDL2 DLLs (and some others that were missing).
Can you try re-downloading from the (same) release again?

[LoneWolfProductions]

I was typing this when you replyed. I will try to redownload and perhaps what typed under here can be ignored then ;)

I tried to copy them from the orignal yafc but it keeps trowing an error.
I then copied all files from the orignal yafc skipping the excisting ones into your folder.

it now seems to be running but it keeps an console window open

it seems to slow down the loading very hard. (3min in already :p)

There were some other DLLs that were missing, I fixed the 'build' script ShadowTheAge#151 to include them when not building on a Windows host (as I am not). So I guess/assume it works not, if not please post the new errors and we can check it out

[LoneWolfProductions]

Ok its working now (redownloaded)

The only thing is that it keeps that console window open (debug setting?) but its loading fast now.
But I can live with that ;)

Thanks for the help/time I'm gonna play now with these new options ;)

10 min in I think. I'm loving it!!!! (you can close this thread as solved :p )

Very nice work, this is indeed very much a great factory overview (and i like the only show issues )
Thank you for making this moddification publicly available.
