Curses / Another moviefile mirror
« on: February 26, 2006, 07:13:00 am »
Just a quick heads up to let you know that I have created a Dwarf Fortress sub-page on my fledging website. It has mirrors for all of the DF movies (bundled in packs of five) along with the move player itself.

http://www.firestormproductions.co.uk/prospero/g-dwarffortress.htm

My page is still a work in progress but I thought I might help out by sharing the load of hosting the movies (and giving visitors a previewish overview of the game while they're there    :) )

Very very nice, I like it  :)

Curses / System Requirements?
« on: September 19, 2005, 01:26:00 pm »
Since I hadn't finished watching all of the demo movies yet, I tried to put the player onto my laptop, happily thinking that a P2 300MHz / 128Mb RAM machine should be able to cope with a text-only application without problems. But it ran very slowly, and I noticed you seem to be using graphical text tiles.

Any reason why I'm getting < 1fps in the player? Sadly this laptop likes to keel over and die at the very mention of OpenGL (and sometimes SDL) due to no hardware acceleration   :(


Edit:Aha, reading through the 'Back to the dwarf game...' thread, I see you are indeed using OGL, which explains things. Sorry, I'll pay more attention next time :P

As one of those hapless mortals coming from rgra, I just have to say that this is looking like a stonkingly good game (always been a fan of UnReal World and survival-type games of all sorts)  :) Will look forward to playing it!

As the deadline fast approached for the release of thousands of dwarves upon an unsuspecting world, Toady wondered if the tension was affecting his debug session...

You know, the last time I was this psyched up about a game being released was way back in the Amiga days when a rolling demo of Frontier: Elite 2 appeared on a coverdisk. I must've watched that through dozens of times before the game eventually came out  :)

Out of curiosity, how often will the game releases come after the 8th? I can understand you're not going to want to do new versions daily, but... once a fortnight?... month?... 2 months?... as and when we complain enough?   :D ...

Surely that's not a bug, merely a natural effect of all meetings, everywhere?

I predict... hold on, it's just coming to me now... yes... I predict Italy will win the FIFA World Cup!   :eek:

Sorry but I'm completely drained after that. I need to play DF a bit to recharge :P

Gosh! Only 25 days left, which is 3.571 weeks! If you multiply those numbers together you get 89.275, which - startlingly enough - is in fact 12.3% of the number of posts in this thread (including this one)!

Sig test... hopefully got the sloppy code sorted.

The graphics in your roguelike seem quite detailed as well. Having played Angband with graphics I must say yours look a lot clearer   :)

If you need a hand with proofreading any spelling/grammar, I could try to give you a hand with that. I'm English (though some would say my native language is gibberish :P)

Hehe, Blitz rules, look forward to playing your roguelike  ;)

Which reminds me, I really should do some work on my RPG project... (goes off to make cunning sig link :P)

Cor, I think I can see Toady's keyboard smoking from where I am!   :D
