CSBwin Version 9.51d

[Paul Stevens]

A pre-release, test version of CSBwin is at:

bahamas.globat.com/~dianneandpaul.net

It is labeled version 9.51d.

It has (these will be repeated in the final release)

--Two linefeeds in scroll text now displays an empty
line rather than a 'J'.
--Full-Screen capability.
--Anti-Fire and Anti-Magic capability.

If you try it, please let me know of any problems.

There are still some outstanding problems/suggestions.
Releasing this is such a pain that I want to get
everything right the first time, at least as much as
possible.

Thank you for the efforts you are putting into CSbuild and CSBwin, Paul!
I just tried the "fullscreen" feature, but I'm not sure how to activate it.

I still don't know how to center the image. Do I need to set a special parameter in the config.txt?

If I maximize the window, I still see the menus and the window's borders. To make disappear the title bar and the rest, it's only a question of changing the borderstyle property of the form (at least in Visual Basic).

However the black background is already a big enhancement. Maybe I was too sensible, but now I feel much more swallowed by the game's atmosphere.

And now, just a little bug (to keep with my own style): when I change decreasing from size *4 to size*3 or smaller, the screen is not cleared, so the big graphics remain as a background.

[Paul Stevens]

To use the fullscreen capability you put

size=full

on the command line.

Thanks for the clear-screen report. You can
probably clear it by minimize then maximize
again. Until I fix it.

It worked! Thank you!
Paul, could you give us the list of available command lines?
I guess there is one for centering. I read somewhere there is one for setting the default path. Are there other?

[Paul Stevens]

In full-screen mode you can put the viewport
where you please my entering a line in the
config.txt.

Soething like:
