SeaBee Alpha - WitP:AE Install & Configuration Application

[Squid]

Thanks,

I followed the link to the site on the website and downloaded the new version but the Zip/WinRaR I downloaded just has an empty folder in it?

[BananaConvention]

I just spoke to Korvar about this issue on my Discord server. He is working with Google Support to fix some issues on the website. The download is temporarily down from there, but I have a copy available for direct download on my Discord if anyone needs it in the mean time.

This information is current as of 24 Dec 2023.

So is this utility actually needed to install the game?

No, it is not needed to install the game. What this utility will do for the game that came out in 2009 will be to put information to the operating system of the computer as to how you what the game to look and run. To put it simply, the game was designed to run on older technology and these switches that are put in place will make the game much more enjoyable to play and watch.

Or else, maybe play the game on an old Windows XP system, maybe Windows Vista and/or Windows 7 will run it with no problems for the user as well.

Thanks for the answer. For the price that it's selling for now, I am going to give it a try? I guess I'll have to wait until they get the download link sorted out? I've bought everyone of Gary Grigsby's games but this one. Sometimes the micro management drives me nuts. But my wife says that I'm half way there anyways!

One thing to try if you want to, read up about the switches and what they do. Then you can put them in yourself. Just be aware to use the dash "-" and not the minus "-" sign at the numeric key pad! Also, capitalization is important as well.

If you want some help on something, don't be afraid to ask. Also, when searching, use "Alfred" in your search terms since he was quite the expert on the game and either referenced the manual or the developers comments in his replies.

Hello everyone,
I had WitP AE and Seabee installed on my PC for 5 or 6 years and 15 days ago my DD failed me...
I completely re-installed WitP AE but the Seabee application available on the site no longer works.
When I launch the application there is:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "seabee_030.py", line 1792, in <module>
File "seabee_030.py", line 327, in __init_]File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 2148, in wm_iconbitmap
_tkinter.TclError: bitmap ".\images\seabee_16.ico" not defined
I feel like I missed something ?
Can anyone help me ?

[cirrius06]

D...
sorry for taking up a little space on the subject.
I found the solution to my problem, I directly copied the Seabee ZIP file into the game's "Patch" directory and the application finally launched !
