making my game playable on other's computer

how can I make it so people can download my game and play it without having blender?

2

Make it a runtime or make it play with blenderplayer with a batch file. Google batch…
blenderplayer.exe yourthing.blend
You can rename your blend something else (like map, dat, whatever) and it will still play.
Google bat to exe, you can convert the bat to an exe and give it an icon.

umm…I’m confuzed could you explane a bit more

I know about runtimes and stuff but that other stuff not so much

Just copy the DLLS and instead of the runtime copy and paste blenderplayer.exe at the blender directory.
Paste your blend file in the same directory. Run it with blenderplayer with a batch file.
Make a text file with:
blenderplayer.exe yourblenderfile.blend
Rename it to bat, in the same directory as the blend file and blenderplayer, and run it.

ok I het most but what do you mean when you say make a text file? do you mean just make a normal text file that has those words in it?

and is the DLLS the things like zlib.dll?

6

Yes .

Just make it a runtime , put it in a folder and include all the .dll files that are in the “C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender” folder. but if you want textures to apply on another computer (that may not have blender) go into your .blend file… then if you UV-mapped go to the UV map screen. and on each of your textures you will need to Click the little box/present looking button which is located next to the name of the texture:

There it should be done. Happy Blend-ing

Instead of packing each texture separately go to File -> external data -> pack into .blend

ok thanks I’ll try that

10

ok I did all that and when I run it all I get is a black screen that pops up and then gos away just as fast (It has some words in it but i cant read them cuz it leves to fast)

Edit: should the text file be a .bat file? I did that and get the same thing

should it look like this?

i dont use a .bat file just the runtime and the .DLL’s - it should work >.<

12

so then all they have to do is open the runtime?

13

Yeah, the runtime is the game. Just open it and it should work.

14

ok but is there any way to make it and Icon on the desktop that they click and it plays?

15

in blender: file>save game as runtime
where you saved it: right click on the .exe>send to>desktop (create shortcut)
: copy all the dll files you had in your example file into this map
hope it is clear now;)

yah I get it and it works but you say copy all the files into this map what dose that mean?
