What was changed to make bote.exe run under Windows XP?

That's the message that pops up if I try to run (by double-clicking on it) bote.exe under Windows XP (both under VirtualBox, and on a real computer). In both cases, double-clicking the JAR file works fine. bote.exe seems to have the PE-file flag for a 32-bit executable. Does it contain, and try to e...

I don't remember why I used VirtualBox. I was probably trying to keep from accidentally cluttering my machine. I tried BotE on a Windows XP machine. It looks fine. I got close to trying your suggestion. It barfed looking for "troopstatlist.txt". I tried changing that to "troops.txt&qu...

calc sorts and reverses before returning. It sorts based on count.

Right before this, calc calls distributeRemaining, which sorts on fPart, but does not reverse before adding one worker to each category (until it runs out of idle workers).

A comment in SystemManager says that distributeRemaining is supposed to assign leftover workers to the building types with the highest fractional assignments. The code I see sorts, but does not reverse the list, or process the list backwards. I think this is responsible for a tiny part of the appare...

When I run BotE under Windows XP in VirtualBox, some of the backgrounds -- the bits that look like the metal flashing around some displays -- are twisted 45 degrees clockwise. This did not happen when I ran directly from Windows 8. I think it is related to the width of the graphics file being used: ...
