Issues installing on windows, networked drive

Attempting to install on a windows XP SP 3 machine, onto a network drive exported from a Mac 10.5.8 system. (Standard, samba/"windows compatible" file sharing). Drive was mounted as a drive letter on windows.

After running the installer, the "Play Spiral Knights.lnk" was started, with a warning about running unknown programs from the internet. Saying yes, it ran.

Downloading control files (normal)
Spiral knights image (normal)

Then an error message about a file being locked by another program.

Running the program again resulted in a loop -- approximately three times it claimed to resolve downloads, download, and validate, almost instantly. After that, it downloaded normally.

(I still only have occasional access to the machine, but if I have it installed on my drive I can at least keep the startup shortcuts / registry skeleton on her system.)

Actually, it's worse than that.

Every time through the loop, getdown fetches one file, and complains about bytelocking.

even if this error is

even if this error is legitimate i've got to point out that running java apps from an smb network share hosted on a mac os server is _really weird_

literally one-in-a-million or probably less

This sounds like a problem

This sounds like a problem with running the program off of a samba share, not a problem with the program itself...

If the windows machine doesn't have the disk space, and I can't keep the program installed there, then my only option ...

Alright, I got it up and running.

Copy the skeleton onto the desktop.
Run it from the desktop (double click on getdown-pro.jar).

It downloads, runs the game, finishes downloading.

Then, it can be copied onto the network drive, and it will run from there.

My Macintosh screen is reasonably calibrated, thanks to Supercal. http://www.bergdesign.com/supercal/
Having played a bit, and seeing the colors, I think I know what it's suppose to look like.
The colors on the windows machine ... iccckk.

Some of the platforms in the arcade are solid yellow. The light area in front of the shadows in front of the arcade gates ... some of it is solid bright, and next to the solid bright is "normal" with no transition.

And to make it worse, grabbing the gamma slider on the video controls and moving it around adjusts most but not all of the screen -- those bright areas stay ultra bright.

P.S. Have you calibrated your windows machine too? Also rememeber that Mac OS X *pre* 10.6 uses a 1.8 gamma by default vs the standard Windows and 10.6 gamma setting of 2.2.

I'd love to calibrate that windows machine. Know any good calibration software?

The default display is an old flat-screen that is badly washed out by default, and looks decent when the driver applies a gamma correction of .67 to make things darker. It's like the default gamma on that monitor is nearly linear.

Yes, I use 1.8 by default on my mac, but I can switch to either 2.2 or 1.3 with a click in system preferences. (1.3 makes DvD's playback better. Go figure.)

i have to point out that the minimum requirements officially include "300mb hard drive space", so there's not really anything the devs can (or should) do about errors when attempting a workaround

i also have to point out that 512mb usb flash drives are cheap (~$5) and are treated as a local hard disk drive by the OS (unlike a network drive) making the whole setup really unnecessary
