WOOHOO. THIS IS WONDERFUL. Now to load my latest vanilla save in 31.04!

[Kipi]

Thank you Toady!

I'll raise mug of beer for your honor!


Oh, and the game... it's fast... really fast...

Things seem to work fine on Mac (OS X 10.6.3) if I use graphics OFF, but turning them on (only tested in STANDARD mode) I get a crash after the main menu.  Tested with worldgen and starting a new game.

Yes. Partial:2 is slow, and the graphics dont update nearly as fast as half the scroll menus/game screen movement, and a higher number induces much fps kill. Havent tried 2d yet, though. GFPS is 20, like it was in .03. Ill do some more fiddling.

I've run into a bug in the stocks screen where any time I try to move to the stones line to see how much ore/fuel I have, it hangs for a second and then skips to the next line up or down (depending on which direction I was coming from).

Don't hit the button more than once. That little lagspike's been common if you have a LOT for the game to take in.

Right.. sorry, GRAPHICS:ON is not going to work. I wrote the code without reference to an actual working DF, and the graphical output was one thing I couldn't replicate.

I'll get it fixed though, probably on Wednesday, so for now just keep it off?

And yes, "file not found" errors relating to the oggs are frequently just due to your libsndfile not reading ogg. I should clarify those messages.

..lots of interesting bugs, I'm sure going to have fun. Hm. Would anyone object if I made DF automatically turn off num lock?

[KoFish]

Would anyone object if I made DF automatically turn off num lock?

Yes! I really don't like any application that does stuff like that automatically... could be ok if warning about it.

[DDR]

As long as you turn it back on outside of the window, it's fine. Could you make capslock perma-off, too? I occasionally hit it when I mean to hit 'a', and it takes me some time to find out why my keys don't work anymore.

New version works great, here on WinXP. I haven't had the heart to try DF out on Mandriva Linux yet, though. I probably will, one of these days.

Thanks!

Should people keep posting their OS/hardware specs on the bug report, or do you have this one figured out?

Hi!

First of all, thanks for the update, Toady One. Your hard work is really appreciated.

I have not done any actual playing yet, as the humans died out in world gen, but other than that, I got a very beautiful world, so I hope to start playing soon (just need to get the humans to live a bit longer).

However, I also noted that toggling between full screen and windowed mode using F11 does not work. It seems to change the font, but the game remains in full screen (which is my default).

Other than that, no unusual things noticed yet.

I'm trying to start DF on my Arch64 box (32-bit chroot) and encountered three issues so far:

1. A weird locale issue:

Code: [Select]

(process:5546): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

2. DF ignoring my "-sound_output OSS" switch. I tried putting it in the launcher script, I tried issuing it at the command line itself, I tried several combinations of underscores, hyphens and capitalization – DF always wanted to use ALSA, even though OSS was listed as a viable output.

3. The following comes up whenever I start DF:

Code: [Select]

(process:7031): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Sound devices available:
ALSA Software
OSS Software
Picking ALSA Software. If your desired device was missing, make sure you have the appropriate 32-bit libraries installed. If you wanted a different device, configure ~/.openalrc appropriately.
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
(--lots of other ALSA-related error messages--)
Initializing OpenAL failed, no sound will be played
Loading bindings from data/init/interface.txt

(dwarfort.exe:7031): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'
Then I get a GTK error dialog with all boxes instead of proper letters:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

…and DF is gone.

Does anyone have an idea how I could at least get the error dialog to display properly?

I've got it.

Really should get a mantis account sometime soon, but I appreciate it.

First of all, thanks for all your work Toady.

And now to the bug reporting: (Ubuntu 9.04)
1) With Compiz on none of the drawing modes work, they all flicker horribly. With Metacity Partial:N is also horrible (but instead of flickering it seems like it simply doesn't erase the previous screen and so you get a sort of motion blur effect). VBO and FRAME_BUFFER both crash the game in both cases (this is the probably fault of my lame builtin Intel graphics card.)
All the working modes under Metacity produce lame graphic framerates (~30), I'm not sure if this is the fault of my lame graphics card or not, I can't compare to 40d since it didn't tell you how many graphical frames were drawn.

2) No sound. I tried all four options (not selecting anything and all three commandline selectable options) and none work. I think that df ignores my choice. Here's what I get when running with -sound_output OSS :
Sound devices available:
ALSA Software on default
ALSA Software on HDA Intel

Picking ALSA Software on default. If your desired device was missing, make sure you have the appropriate 32-bit libraries installed. If you wanted a different device, configure ~/.openalrc appropriately.

Notice how it chose ALSA in spite of me specifying OSS?
