Re: Editor scrolling crash - debugged in-depth

i know a little assembly. that code fragment looks like a memcpy() from some address 0x8152900 onto the stack -0xb8(%ebp) length 96 (0x18*4) bytes. could also be a struct assignment? make sure you compile with -g Then my guess was correct, thanks. The question is, why does it generate an "inva...

Old ideas

I'm not sure what's the proper etiquette in this situation: should I revive *very* old threads, or create new ones? I decided to create one thread that lists them. Anyway, I digress. There are several ideas that were left unimplemented, and possibly forgotten. (But I can't be sure about that, and if...

Zelda I doesn't work properly in 3.2.6.0

1. A wall near the center of the screen has incorrect texture. (Maybe associated with the "wheel"/"amoeba" bugs in the past.) 2. Texts (when you get an item) display incorrectly. Both bugs above are "graphical" - maybe existing tapes still work. But I wouldn't bet on it...

Querying inventory content

An inventory system has been on RnD's feature request lists for a long time. Although RnD has an "inventory" which can contain various CEs and objects (dynamites/disks), it's only LIFO, and the player can't choose what to drop (or throw) next. Over the time, various improvements have been ...

Editor scrolling crash - debugged in-depth

A few days ago I started playing 3.2.6.0. Unfortunately, it crashed with "Floating point exception". A lot. Not just in the editor (as already reported), even in game. If I'm not mistaken, it crashes when you collect an inventory object or key while scrolling up/left. But not always. (Note...

Long time no see! I know this is an old topic, but I felt it's better to post this here, instead of starting a new one. I've made another program, similar to the other ones in that the whole program body is in one 'return' statement. However, this one is actually interactive. IMPORTANT: This won't w...

Um, isn't it SDL_image that handles loading PCX files?

Wouldn't the installer erase the levels directory in RnD program dir? (When I download a levelset I put it there, so all the users can play it.)

By all means, use whatever translating program you wish! But the internal i18n system used in the game should be gettext and .po files, just to be future-proof. That's all I wanted to say.

The problems Holger said are all true, but if you're going to work on it, I suggest using gettext: - gettext is a full-featured i18n library - everybody else uses it - there already are *many* translating programs, but all use gettext .po files - it supports language-specific plurals and all sorts o...

"Move player" not working

I have a CE that does this: - can move down - when touching normal wall (at any side) --- move player down In an area like this: SCSS (C=CE, S=sand, W=wall, -=empty) S-WS (I'm too lazy to use levelsketch) S-WS S-WS SSSS However, the player doesn't move at all. (This was tested in 3.2.3 and 3.2.4-1.)...
