Hello all,
I was finally able to get the SS:TGS reinstalled and working again, but I have a couple questions that I'm confident you gentlemen can answer!
Which version should I get?
Is there a step by step guide for installing one of the newer versions?
I read that it's now open source, so I tried downloading the new executable and dropping in to my game folder.
When I try to run the executable, I get a missing content.dat error.
HI Patriot!!!! It's great to have you as a member here!!!. I am currently running version 5.1.66. Which version are you trying to run? I'm sure we will be able to get you up and running. Glad you found your way here!!

Hi Brad, thank you for taking the time to help!
I'm was trying to run version 5.1.66, but I get an error that says "Starshatter can not open the file 'content.dat'. Please re-install the latest Starshatter update." It would seem that I need that file in my game directory. The sources I've downloaded that version from didn't include that file.
Well, I think I have it going some-what now. Here are the steps I used to get it working, please correct me if I've done something wrong.
1) Install core game.
2) Added the 5.0.1 .exe file (may not be necessary)
3) Ran 5.0.3 update (added content.dat file?)
4) Added 5.1.66 .exe file(s)
EDIT:
What is the difference between the Starshatter.exe and Starshatter_D.exe files? I notice that Starshatter_D.exe is almost twice the size as the other.
Is that the one I should be using?

If my memory serves me correctly, that exe with the D is used for debugging by the guys on the source code team. I'm not sure how it works or what it does differently from the regular exe. There has not been much new reported by those guys in quite a while so I don't know if they are still working on the source code or not. If you go over to the Hard light forums, and ask this question you will probably get a more informed answer than I can give you. In any event, I'm glad you were able to get the game up and running on your machine.
