I've heard reports of issues on Vista and I don't know what causes it. So far the issue is Vista specific; I've never had nor heard issues on XP or 7.
I am using MinGW to compile. I might get a more vista-firendly version if I could compile using (a specific version of) MSVC but I don't have access to it. Anyone out there know what might be causing Vista issues on SDL? A quick bit of searching shows that Vista and SDL issues are common.
- Yes I plan to add click-to-move as a gameplay option.
- I can experiment with changing where loot drops, but I think accidentally picking up loot is unavoidable. Maybe there's some other method I'm not thinking of?
- I use Blender to create all my tilesets and creature art. There is a camera setting (Orthographic, angle 60,0,45) that will render tiles at perfect video game isometric view. Then I tweak the camera height and scale until the tile fits the size I want (e.g. 64x32 base tiles). I don't have videos or tutorials yet but one day I will make some.
shirish, I think YouTube will show a 360p video by default. If you see that just under the video, change it to 480p. The text should be easy to read then.
Really needs some light effects now I think... similar to the light aura that was always around the player in Diablo, anf the rest of the level is darker.
Agreed! Core SDL 1.2 doesn't come with a way to do that (unless I reimplement in 3D using their OpenGL hooks). If I can find an SDL sub-library that offers fast blitting at variable lightness levels then I can definitely do simple auras and shadows.
Thanks Anon!
Pompei2, no I wasn't aware of it. It's something I might look into once I put out a long-term release.
OSX version fixed (tested it on another OSX machine).

I found the osx error (a missing image). Trying to upload osx v0.09b.
I think the Vista issue is different, but I'll go back and test the download on my WinXP to make sure it's not a missing file issue.

shirish, I fixed the mime types on images in my Google Code svn. The images should load up in the browser properly now.

Your request gave me the idea to make this week's Weekly Challenge theme "Modern City".
http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/weekly-challenge-modern-city-due-sept-6th
Question, are you doing that overhead 3D perspective that GTA 1 and 2 did? As in, do you need a city tileset that is modular parts for 3D buildings
