Oh. It's already 2018! Time to return back to TomeNET! And try something new.. I tried to play Paladin!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWuOPbHcDd8

Btw. recently youtube unfairly blocked all my YT channels (with all streams of TomeNET too).. I was offline for 3 weeks. They unblocked them only after we (me and my wife) made indefinite strike in form of live video stream-protest against unfair blocking of our YouTube channels - https://twitch.tv/entr_ru/ – 24/7 live protest (even at night!). More info about this story at our website: http://entr.ru

Now this protest is almost over, cause we unblocked most our channel (5 left of 37) and we made decision to start 24/7 show-performance "Blogger's House", where you could see how bloggers lives their lifes It's at the same twitch as were our protest -  https://twitch.tv/entr_ru/

Hi ho!

Just a few months ago I've presented my free-to-use 1-bit tileset for TomeNET (http://tomenet.eu) and not only: https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/comments/6f6fww/tileset_tangars_tileset_1bit_pseudographics_font/ ... Also wanna remind, that I'll be very happy if someone would use this tileset in YAGR (yet another great roguelike)

This tileset works great in TomeNET and makes gameplay much more enjoyable!

But we got a trouble...

There is a bug - currently it's not possible to map characters at certain glyphs of this graphical font:
0, 2, 16-31, 129, 141, 143, 144, 157, 195

If this bug would be fixed, it would be possible to add extra _24_ symbol in this tileset (I'll update my tileset, of course!). 24 symbols would make huge difference!

Devs don't know how to fix this bug It's even totally unknown where to find this mistake... That's why I beg every living person who knows something about coding to help in solving this issue!

Source files for TomeNET could be found there: https://tomenet.eu/downloads.php

Topic about this problem at TomeNET forum:
https://tomenet.eu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1737

Please don't hesitate to post any assumptions and hypothesis considering this bug, lets discuss it. Any hints could be useful!

I don’t remember the code point off my head but the pattern smells of utf-8 treated as ascii and the holes > 128 might match the multibyte codepoint, but I don’t have the tables around

[tangar]

thanks for interesting idea! I'll add it to our headquarters ( https://tomenet.eu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1737 )

We still need help with the bug! https://tomenet.eu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1737

Guys, lets continue brainstorm!

For now we need to understand how to fix 0, 16-31 glyphs! As 1-16 works for remapping (but actually they are 'system' commands), it has to be possible to make 16-31 work too!

Currently they got this values:

Symbols took from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437 (but they are in wrong places)

GOGOGO! We can do it!

!!! We got an important update:

'Fony' (http://hukka.ncn.fi/?fony) developer Hukka noted that:

Anyway, this seems to be a bug in the game and not Fony. I've seen at least two people say that it's because "Fony relies on Unicode", but that makes no sense when it comes to bitmap fonts, and Fony only really uses Unicode to display various language translations in the user interface. Previous versions of Fony didn't even support Unicode in any way at all! Bitmap fonts have no concept of Unicode, nor does Fony when it's handling them. It's just 256 glyphs, one after another, bitmaps in a file.

Does it looks like it's not the problem of the font, but actually the problem in the TomeNET code? TomeNET source could be found: https://www.tomenet.eu/downloads.php

p.s.
Also Hukka said that soon he would create crossplatform opensource version of Fony! Great news

Hiho! I play TomeNET for a 3 years and I feel that this is the deepest online game in terms of gameplay. It got enhanced roguelike features in perfect bond with modern MMORPG concept and... Tolkien lore. I'm trying to show it's beauty to the new generation of gamers, that's why I've made this video.

Hope to see your feedback!

[FakerFangirl]

Yeah but it's hard.
