4 years ago Hi Marcin,
I'm pleasantly surprised that my game is still drawing interest from people! I took a look at the zip file available from the game creation society, and it's no wonder it wasn't working: it doesn't contain any of the necessary data files.
I was able to get the game to start running by downloading a zip file of the game from Github and extracting the "ai", "data", "maps", and "saves" directories. I've also attached the missing "gamesaves.lua" file. Create a "scripts" directory and save it in there. That should get the game to start, though network play definitely won't work.
Thanks for reaching out! -Kent

Dear Mr Kent
(first of all - apologies for contacting in this way, but I couldn't find any e-mail contact)
My name is Marcin and recently I've found out by accident about your game, turn based strategy Trichromic. It looks very interesting, however I'm unable to open it (it just doesn't open, no errors/etc).
Only clue I've found was in file empdebug.txt, here is the part which is suggesting error:
Error loading script 'scripts/gamesaves.lua': cannot open scripts/gamesaves.lua: No such file or directory Error: Can't initialize Lua
I'm not sure how can I repair this issue (package I've downloaded seemed to be in order, yet message is suggesting that some file(s) is/are missing.
I've downloaded game from this website (since I didn't found any other active download with .exe inside): https://www.gamecreation.org/games/trichromic
I would be really grateful, if you could help me make this game working - I'm aware that it's quite old and can make some issues on newer systems, but error is suggesting rather something about missing file(s).
Kindly thank you in advance for help!
