Had to install libjpeg62 but otherwise what I've tried seems to work nicely... *for the most part*

...

I get a red error box "cannot load palette" when launching fostiato

Also some "load_map/pcx" errors

Whenever I get those red error boxes, it also seems to grab the mouse pointer and fix it to the box's title bar... I can move the mouse above that point but not below. (So can't click the ignore/trace/exit buttons).

I get these pcx errors in a couple others too.

Seems same as this --> http://div-arena.co.uk/forum2/viewthread.php?tid=3

Alien.prg works though the intro movie is rendered in crazy colours:


Linux Mint 17.3

The fli colours haven't been fixed but its worth trying a nightly build

I can't cut or copy code that's been selected with the cursor keys. CTRL deselets the block. Mouse selected code works fine though.
My del key draws little triangles.

Just fixed the "house" on delete button press. Looking into the ctrl+x on cursor select now

MikeDX - 20-3-2016 at 10:49 PM

Fixed both in tonight nightly build. enjoy

dom cook - 21-3-2016 at 06:14 AM

good man.
Next challenge: some of the numpad keys don't respond to scancode or key() function. for example _c_minus does whereas _c_plus doesn't.

MikeDX - 21-3-2016 at 07:57 AM

That one could be more tricky since i dont have a keyboard with a numpad :(

dom cook - 21-3-2016 at 06:47 PM

I see.
I don't know if this helps but the ascii codes do work on the pad.
So, for example the plus key = 43 and the minus key = 45.

I've discovered a problem with the mouse. Although mouse.x and mouse.y can set the mouse pointer's position, when the mouse is subsequently moved, the pointer jumps back to its original location.

MikeDX - 21-3-2016 at 07:02 PM

dom do you mean if you use mouse.x=0; mouse.y=0 for instance?
I'll look into it

thanks for those codes too, although really i'll have to wait until i have a full size keyboard to test properly

That's right. It seems like the desktop doesn't want to let it go.

MikeDX - 21-3-2016 at 07:54 PM

I dont think thats been implemented yet. I'll take a look

* edit

This should be fixed in tonight's nightly build :)

MikeDX - 22-3-2016 at 08:32 PM

For the "_c_minus does whereas _c_plus doesn't." issue, i think this is just a mappping issue where they arent implemented

the following keys arent mapped to SDLK_ entries:

Code:
const _enter=28 const _num_lock=69 const _c_backslash=53 const _c_asterisk=55 const _c_minus=74 const _c_home=71 const _c_up=72 const _c_pgup=73 const _c_left=75 const _c_center=76 const _c_right=77 const _c_end=79 const _c_down=80 const _c_pgdn=81 const _c_ins=82 const _c_del=83 const _c_plus=78 const _c_enter=28


any key that *does* work in that list is purely by chance its id matches the SDLK_ id

I've added the missing ones (except _c_center - not sure what that is...

so give that a go in tonights nightly

Sandman - 22-3-2016 at 11:06 PM

_c_center is likely numpad 5, being in the center. Also makes sense given that list.

More keys are working but not all.
the numbers and the dot/del key still don't respond.

By the way, the mouse thing is fixed.

MikeDX - 24-3-2016 at 01:23 AM

I'll take another look at this tomorrow and see if i can make a few more keys work.

Any chance you can get me a list of nonworking keys please?

On the numpad it's the numbers 0 to 9 and the DEL or"." key.

Apart from some non-english characters (which I guess shouldn't be supported anyway) the rest of my keyboard is fine.

MikeDX - 24-3-2016 at 08:45 AM

I think there is some argument for foreign characters (DIV1/2 certainly supported some, since it was spanish). I think at the moment we only support chars < 0x80 (ascii) and I don't know how many of those contain accented characters.


The others should be easy to add, I'm guessing those numpad keys send different scancodes if numlock is active.

There might be a bug in the graphic editor. It looks like the nozzle on the airbrush/aerosol needs cleaning out.

In the code editor. CTRL-G doesn't work.

MikeDX - 26-3-2016 at 02:53 PM

The nozzle does work, we use it on the space shooter tutorial

space shooter day 2

As for ctrl+g, I've looked into this before and cant work out whyit isnt working, which is annoying....

Apologies. I was expecting it to behave differently.
