Re: [Ql-Users] P.I.Cole game

[Wolfgang Lenerz via Ql-Users]

Hi,

ooh, nice.

There seems to be a renewed interest for adventure games for the QL, 
such as those by P. van Peebles and T Froeschle.


PI Cole works quite nicely on SMSQmulator in 512*256 mode.

QL is the old black.

I've added Andrei Tenu's game, P.I.Cole-The Case Of The Missing Doxie to 
the Adventure Games page on my website.


In this game you play the part of detective Cole and you have to find a 
missing woman. The story gets more complex as you play. Collect 
information and find the answers to "What really happened?", "Who done 
it?" and "Why?" before the final confrontation in the game, which 
reveals them all.


There are various versions for different platforms such as FLP image, 
MDV image (for vDrive users), a QXL.WIN version and a generic zipped 
version for most other systems. The sources for the game are available 
too, along with a PDF file manual.


Download the game from: http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/games/adventures/index.html

Re: [Ql-Users] QLWARZ 02

Hi Dilwyn,

Thanks for your efforts to present the one place where one will find 
everything QL related!


Per, Marcel and I have been discussing the 10 character limit for 
Dmedium_name$, which seems a bit strange given the fact that, whilst 
floppies can only have a max of 10 characters for their names, the hard 
disk format specifies that the name may be a max of 20 characters long.


This may be corrected in a future version of SMSQ/E.


QL is the old black.

Per Witte has released version 02 of his QLWARZ utility to stretch, 
refresh, or defragment a hard drive on QPC2. As there is no way to 
extend a QXL.WIN filing container, this program takes the next best 
approach and formats a new one with a different capacity and copies 
directories and files over to the new QXL.WIN.


Version 02 now supports 20 character medium names. The reason this 
requires an update is that, after many years, some versions of SMSQ/E 
(eg SMSQmulator) now do the right thing and take the length count word 
into consideration, meaning that in most cases you are no longer limited 
to a 10 character medium name.


Per explains in the readme file with the software that some BASIC 
commands may still truncate the 20 character names to 10 characters, as 
they ignore the word length count (e.g. DMEDIUM_NAME$ and STAT), as well 
as QPAC2 Files menu, although he hopes that these will be updated in due 
course.
