Oangband 1.10u

Malak Darkhunter · February 20, 2010, 01:11

Hey Nick, tried your updated version of Oangband, however the walls do not show up in vista under the no tiles option, so no go. I would change this as I have seen a similar problem in Daj, but I can't seem to get into the win-pref file. Can you fix this please? O is one of my more favorite variants but I haven't been able to play it since I have started using vista.

I believe that changing to a font other than 8x13 will fix the problem - let me know if it doesn't. IIRC it is not possible to use 8x13 in vista and have block walls.

Believe it or not, none of the fonts worked I tried them all, and surprisingly there wasn't an 8x13 font in there it had 8x12 and 8x12xb though. Even stranger the 16x16 font showed just a black screen.Everything looks fine but no walls.

Another thing of note,( I don't use graphics) but tried that anyway. The old tiles work, but the 16x16 tiles don't work, despite their presence in my lib/xtra/graph/ folder. Any Ideas?

OK, I'll have to check this out properly. I have a bugfixed version almost ready to go out anyway; I'll try to do that in the next few days.

No walls is a pref file problem, not a font problem, usually.

OK, I've uploaded an updated version (windows only so far). Works fine for me on Win 7.

Chief changes: Money in inventory bug is fixed, pref-win.prf updated (ha!), a number of menus have changed to all alphabetic indices (quiver, for example), a few other minor bugs fixed.

At some point I'll adopt to the V build system, and fully update all the versions. Comments, complaints, etc. welcome.

Hello Nick,

Are O sources with the latest fixes available somewhere?

I've finished my S game and decided to play O next. And it looks like I'm running into some of those "minor bugs" that are already fixed, at least in FA. (Say, in O 1.1.0u file_character crashes if you tell it you do not want to replace existing file. In FA that function's code looks much more sane... and it doesn't crash )

OK, the source .tar.gz file has been updated now too. If you could let me know any fixes you make, that would be wonderful.

Is there a link to the newer version? I downloaded the one from here on ook. I still have the same problem with no walls.
What I did to fix that, deleted the windows pref-folder in O and copied the windows pref folder from Angband to O. Now I have Walls.
I do get a error message on startup though....Something like(Error line 1 parsing message of 131). But Everything seems to work okay.

edit that's error 1 in line 119 of file message.prf. parsing m:29
