Hmmm, i think it is C or C++. Or Java.
It's actually none of those. Blitz3d is BASIC. You can find it remarkably easy online by just Google searching "Blitz3d" or "blitz3d basic" or "blitz3d is based on..."

Stranded II General Open SourceIt's actually none of those. Blitz3d is BASIC. You can find it remarkably easy online by just Google searching "Blitz3d" or "blitz3d basic" or "blitz3d is based on..."
The parsing of inf-files and scripts has been written with Blitz Basic as well.
Colbot? copy of what? Colbot is not related with Stranded II. Colbot is not even related with Blitz Basic as far as I know. So why are you talking about Colbot? That doesn't make much sense to me.
About "copy" word - i meaned languages are same.
BASIC is an entirely different language.
As DC said, the language used in coding Stranded II is Blitz(3d? Basic? I can never remember the full name of it, lol), but is comparable to BASIC.
As for you second question:
dart193 has written
And what prog lang used in inf-files?
It's not a language. The actual "script" sections use S2Script (which as far as I can tell was made by DC, and it's incredibly easy to use). The other sections aren't scripting\coding\programming, they are merely collections of data for the S2.exe to use.
Ontopic:
Well i meaned script part. I rechecked intermet and found basic differ than here. C looks more like BB. That is completely strange - unbelieveliable.

It's completely strange and unbelievable because you have no idea what you are talking about.

that al very good and well but why use .b3d extensions for models???
Beacuse .b3d is Blitz Basic model format?
You could use .3ds but its only good for static models

what I don't get is the sequence.
Question: How to cause break in movement?
I tried something like this

again.... any ideas???
erm... something else.
is there anyway to break out of input command???
Re: Open SourceWith Blitz3D and source code, I can do that, right?
Do I need any other extra software?
Bloodshot has written
Like what? Fatigue to Tiredness? That can be done in Sys/strings
That's a good example.
Am I right that it allows to change the German messages and misspellings too?
I was sitting on a nighttrain and had nothing to do, and I wanted to play Stranded 2 but didn't manage to get the original exe to work, it made me sit up many hours the night before my train left. Yeah, I waited with packing my stuff untill the last few hours before the train went, during the morning, thanks to Stranded 2 not working on Windows 7.
I sat down with my Blitz3D-copy and tried to compile it. Had some issues, but learned quite a bit from it.
When the errors about functions not found pops up, it has to do with not copying the declarations-file (user32.decls) into Blitz3d/userlib/-directory.
I have made a new blog about working with the sourcecode, you can find it at http://www.prozhen.no/
I also managed to get StrandedII.exe past the Memory Access Violation-problem in Windows 7. By removing all code related to the multiplayer-function, it suddenly worked.
I think this has to do with the way Blitz3D is working with the windows-libraries. In windows 7 everything is different. Both in a good and a bad way.
You can grab the modified exe (beta!) from the post, or directly from http://www.prozhen.no/files/StrandedII_win7.exe
I don't promise that it will work, but it is worth a shot!
Tell me how it goes!
Edit 2: After some thinking, it turns out that terrain_color_sawmp is actually terrain_color_swamp.
This will be the swamp-terrain-colors.
I suggest DC to update the original StrandedII-setup, by editing the game.inf-file so it reads "swamp" instead of "sawmp", and try to rebuild with the sourcecode released, just to be sure that the sourcecode will compile and run without changes to the original gamefile.
The Windows 7-friendly version above is now remade, and you should now not need to edit game.inf in order for it to work.
