Subject: Re: DOS port
Hiyas!
The DOS port of FreeSCI is now running (wohoo!). There are some problems
though:
1> DJGPP gives an exception fault whenever you try to close a non-opened
file. This would cause core/vm.c, line 1281 to generate an exception. This
should be done neater!
2> The game runs at lightspeed under DOS. The scorpion literally races over
the paper.
3> When you select 'Start New Hero', the sentence 'choose your charachter'
will flash 3 times (almost unnoticable), but you cannot select a charachter.
I *think* this has to do with me not handling the gfxdriver_wait() thing, is
that correct? The game seems to kinda freeze when I handle it!
4> Mouse input doesn't work 100% correct IMO.
5> Control is not yet supported in the keyboard handler.
6> Quitting causes the interprinter to die with a page fault. This is caused
by menubar_free(), to be precise, line 80 of graphics/menubar.c. I have no
idea why this is happening...
Well, that's around it. I'd like to ask Christoph to do a talk to me soon,
because I'd like to know more about some FreeSCI issues. Thanks Christoph!
I'll submit the source when you can enter Spielburg... (ie when the create
charachter screen works)
