Can't load font, can't open files extracted with Dat Explorer 1.43.exe

[ghostlyghastly]

I really wanted to avoid installing visual studio but gave up because no idea how to get cmake to cooperate with vcpgk

 $ cmake . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/c/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.22000.0 to target Windows 10.0.19045.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:24 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindSFML.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "SFML", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SFML" (requested
  version 2.5) with any of the following names:

    SFMLConfig.cmake
    sfml-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "SFML" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "SFML_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "SFML"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

It then built in visual studio, which worked great.

The exe runs but I was unable to build dat-unpacker and used fallout2 dat explorer 1.43 to export the maps. This did not lowercase them but shouldn't matter on windows I hope

I was able to pick the data folder but immediately after:

Assertion failed: (0) && "Could not load font file!",

copying the font folder into all sorts of places didnt help, so I commented out all font configuration in geckmapeditor, which helped. I reached the second selection window (map) but after picking a map it crashes:

Failed to activate OpenGL context: The handle is invalid.

An internal OpenGL call failed in Texture.cpp(117).
Expression:
   glDeleteTextures(1, &texture)
Error description:
   GL_INVALID_OPERATION
   The specified operation is not allowed in the current state.

Maybe my fault for removing the fonts?

Or maybe it's just that dat unpacker extracts a different format......?

I tried running debug in visual studio (not sure if that does anything) but:

<VCMessage Code="MSB8036" Type="Error" Arguments="$(TargetPlatformVersion)" Condition="'$(WindowsSDKInstalled)' != 'true'" />

I have win11 sdk installed though, visualstudio installer only offers win10/win11 sdk, no win8 so no idea what the fallout to do.

I was able to attach to a process though, that one pointed me to std::unique_ptr<T> openFile(const std::filesystem::path& path, std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ifstream::in | std::ifstream::binary) {

I'll try getting dat-unpacker to compile some more.
