Release 0.88 - Fixed the bug about graphics flickering caused by problems in the change of the Z in version 0.87e. - Eliminated the use of MessageBox because critical errors with the interpreter (fxi) in Windows; caused by problems with the last SDL version. Now the output goes to stderr.txt. - New Scale Filters : scale2x, hq2x, scanline2x, normal2x To support this there is a new global variable named "scale_mode", The simple set of this variable realizes the scale. The possible values are : SCALE_NOFILTER - Deactivates the scale. SCALE_SCALE2X - Actual scale filter 2x (Also you can activate it using the flag in the variable "graph_mode" like allways) SCALE_HQ2X - 2x scale with hq2x filter (better quality, less performance) SCALE_SCANLINE2X - 2x scale with scanline filter SCALE_NORMAL2X - 2x scale without filter NOTE: If scale is activated (setting the new variable or using the flag in "graph_mode"), you can change the filters changing the new variable without the need to use set_mode. - Support up to 32 joysticks (deppending on OS); To the known functions, there has been added the next ones : GET_JOY_BUTTON(joystick, buttom) GET_JOY_POSITION(joystick, axis) JOY_BUTTONS(joystick) JOY_AXES(joystick) Download https://sourceforge.net/projec … ?group_id=2714 Please, if anyone have more than 1 joystick, can he verify if the functionality is correct?; If not, plz report the bug with details in the forum.

Thanks again for translating, keep them coming. Quote: - Eliminated the use of MessageBox because critical errors with the interpreter (fxi) in Windows; caused by problems with the last SDL version. Now the output goes to stderr.txt. That's nice, it even replaced the copyright messagebox that appears when the FXI is started without a DCB of the same name near. I always disliked that as it made it look as if it said something about your game when for some reason the user fucked up the dcb - and who wants his game to be associated with GNU GPL, haha. Quote: SCALE_NORMAL2X So this just scales up the game 2x without applying the scale2x algorithm? Would that run on the same speed as without scaling it up? Other than that I was wondering if Juan was following some kind of build plan for Fenix - things that have to be done before he is allowed to give it another build number - or whether he's just changing numbers whenever he likes. I understand he's free to do that for subversions(a,b,c etc), but I am curious about the number before it. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

Well, the GPL message is there (stderr.txt), but at least it doesn't pop-up in your user's face. Quote: SCALE_NORMAL2X So this just scales up the game 2x without applying the scale2x algorithm? Would that run on the same speed as without scaling it up? Not sure, I don't use scale modes but probably is a bit little slower because anyway it must blit more pixels.

I understand he's free to do that for subversions(a,b,c etc), but I am curious about the number before it. Juan decides whenever he likes I believe. Probably because he is the solo developer. When he adds enough changes, additions and bug fixes, he increments the number, and when to fixs a fix , he adds a letter. I don't believe he has a straight plan but in past emails he exposes some interesting generic ideas what he wants to do. But the main idea now is not to add features but to have a solid Fenix and get rid off the nasty bugs. ____________ |
