Dungeon Master Forum

For SDL_GetDefaultAudioInfo, it was added to SDL-2.24.0, which was released on august 19, 2022 ! If you are using debian, you should use testing which is a rolling distribution, everything is always updated all the time, much better than having a package outdated for 3 years now. Or Arch is a ...

Yeah I'd say it's a way to learn how the source works, which is not easy since it's converted from a 68000 disassembly listing originally, with some edits, but not a lot finally, even the ST video ram with its planes, its 16 colors and its 3 palette changes is emulated !
Plus it's fun, I have been ...

Is it worth posting updates to this thread again ? Yeah that's the question considering the very few replies it got, almost nothing. Anyway whatever idea we have for csb after that it will probably take more time so I will probably not post here for quite while more.

A last post to tell you about ...

Ok, here is the last update for quite a while, I'll need a break to think over where to go from here, plus Roland Garros is starting this week-end and it's a big source of distraction!

This time the update is mainly centered on getting more info from the game...

Anyway some quite big changes again ...

The big news of this week is the return of the menu with a gui, but in a new form, it's imgui from there : https://github.com/ocornut/imgui
The special thing here is that the gui is rendered in the screen real resolution when the game remains in its scaled 320x200 picture, so you'll see the mouse ...

No problem thanks!
Most of the ideas are exchanged by mail between mainly Shu (from Japan, but in english) and me at the moment. There are still good things to come!
I might take a look later at dungeoncrawlers.org but for now I am a little busy with this... !
Also too bad for me that I didn't ...

Since this forum is sadly half dead, got only 1 reply except the one from Christophe in all that time, I won't keep on posting every day, not more than once/week now, except in case of an astounding bug!

So here is the update for this week in chronological order since the fix for the freeze bug ...

And a bonus for today because of the report from Christophe :
- resizing the window is now immediate, and it works even in the 1st screen with the 4 buttons before the dungeon
- restoring an iconified window works in linux
- build date inserted in windows's title so you can check quickly I didn't ...

Back to a super slow forum already... Yeah it's http://raine.1emulation.com/archive/csb ... 250505.zip and not 7z, sorry.

And the daily binary, it should be the last for a while because the sound part seems finished for now :
- added the last missing sounds for moving monsters : pain rat and ruster. And fixed vexirks which are actually levitating so it makes their sound called from another place.
- fixed the sound ...

Ok, I won't post a new binary everyday, but I met Shu online today and from our exchanges a few more bugs were fixed, so...
- limit sounds of moving monsters to 1 level above or below, previously there was no limit at all! Found by Shu 1st, but I was starting to suspect something too... !
- Sounds ...

Since there is no way to edit a post, here is a new post for the 32 bit version for those who are interested, I just received an email from a japanese guy stuck with vista 32 bits on a laptop and he would need a 32 bit version. Not sure sdl2 will be fully compatible with vista though, but it's worth ...

Well for now I admit I am too lazy to just learn the new tricks in sdl3, maybe later but not now. Anyway the situation is not as bad as for the switch from sdl1.2 to sdl2, they have made a sdl2-compat package which is supposed to give full compatibility with sdl2 programs when using sdl3. I didn't ...

And here is already 20250503 (removed the old archive) : mainly added lots of sounds for walking monsters, with panning and attenuation with the distance. Walls are ignored for the sounds, so you'll hear what there is behind the walls as if there was no wall at all, which can be fun sometimes ...

This started by some bug fixes for the linux version, but since Paul doesn't want to maintain the sources anymore for now, I added mingw compatibility to have only 1 source tree for windows and linux thanks to sdl which is multi platform.

You have the major changes listed at the bottom of the ...

The plan for csb is to try to have some universal version (windows & linux) from this code, but it requires 1st upgrading the audio system to something more modern, windows refuses to open an 8 bit mono 5120 Hz audio, I would have thought it would be the frequency the problem, but it says it wants ...

No thanks, I rarely stay long on discord, spent too much time waiting for people there... !

Scalable window for linux at least with the updated source from me there : https://github.com/zelurker/csb

Too bad I missed this site for a long time, been playing dungeon master on atari st and then later on an emulated st when it became possible !
Anyway for now I have stumbled upon the sources of the linux version of csb, and I decided to update it to make it more user friendly, if you have ...
