SpaceHulk SP ModVersion 1.0

I think the problem is Im running Vista. Theres a little bit difference in registering OCX files in Vista and its telling me it may not be compatible with this version of windows. It says "Check if the module is compatible with an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.exe"

By the way, I just came upon this while looking around for spacehulk stuff. I thought it was just a user made game, not a mod. Do I need to have system shock or something installed?

Well, I've had some success. I got the mscom registered. I downloaded it from a different source and it worked fine. Dunno if it was a newer version or what. But ran into the same problem with the  comdlg32 file. Tried it from different sources but no success.

I'll keep trying. I'm determined to get this to work, heh. Playing the new 20th anniversary board game release has reignited that obsession I had.

No, it has nothing to do with System Shock. It is a user made game, that was later modded (graphics/sound) by fans and these mods are included with this game.

Okay, two more things to try:
1. Put the OCX files in the game folder instead of system32 and try registering them there.
2. Turn off UAC temporarily for registering the DLLs.

Dont ask me how, but its working now. Thanks a million.

You're welcome. You might also be interested in Alien Assault by Teardown. Used to be a Space Hulk game and actually still is, though rebranded now due to licensing issues.

yeah, i ran across that one, too. Theres some spacehulk mods and stuff for it. How come this game didnt get hit with the I.P. Hammer by GW?

[6646e083e5946Kolya]

It did, not by GW but by THQ who got an exclusive license from GW to make this sort of game.

Then how is it still available? We breaking laws? lol

Wait, I was talking about Alien Assault. This game (in this thread) never had any such problems. Not using any of the original art may have something to do with it.

I played this today on Windows10. To get it to work the required OCX files need to be placed in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\ and registered there from an elevated command line (run CMD as admin):

Code: [Select]

regsvr32 c:\Windows\SysWOW64\XXX.ocxOpen SpaceHulk-SP.exe and select your mission. When the game window opens, doubleclick the top window bar to shrink it to its actual size. It doesn't seem to be possible to move the game window but it works fine anyway.
