Can I get a rundown of who all is able to get Cobra running?

I'm planning on fixing it up, and hopefully completing it, but I'll need to know what kidn of errors people are getting, and how many people are getting them.

With QB45, I get an out of memory error in one of the sprite loading lines of code.
With VDMSound it runs, but the shadows are flickery, the keyboard handling is stick and horrible, and the game runs a little bit too fast.

With QB45 I get out of memory before it even runs. Trying the QBX I get to see a character select screen but it dies with string space error after selecting character

Runs when I run the bat file.

But as someone said flickerey shadows and bad keyhandling.
But it has potential!

I ran the batch file here and it ran fine too. Windows XP and everything. Only thing is...is your character supposed to keep moving even after you've released the direction key? I didn't look at the source. :???:

Thanks for trying it out for me. Apparently, VDMSound has an effect on how it works, but I'll still try to get the game to just compile when\if I work back on it.
About the keyboard, I had no idea how to do a good keyhandler back when I made this, so in order to get the characters to at least "move" like they were in a fighting game, I made it so that you have to kind of "toggle" the direction you walk in.
I promise you I'll never do it again. Ever.

Well then actually, that was pretty clever of you.
What seperates a good programmer from a great programmer is problem-solving.

BTW, you know that "
The Jesus" was a title a pedophile used for himself in the Big Lebowski, right? That's the only outside use of the term "The Jesus" that I can remember.
"Nobody f***s with the Jesus"
...Anyways, that's just what I think of when I see your sig, probably because of the "Don't mess with the Jesus" bit. Either way, props on accidentally referencing an awesome movie, but ouch on the character.
