I enabled the built-in FM MIDI synth, so those who don't download the GUS sound patches will still have MIDI playback.

Thank You!

@BSzili

Works great :)
Just a question, is it possible to implement a window mode ?

@samo79
They already got you covered in that department. Check out the wiki for the keyboard shortcuts and comment line arguments:

Keep in mind that the Player is still compiled with SDL 1.2, so on the fly mode switching might not be the most stable. It's better to start the player in the desired mode.

@BSzili

Thanks a lot!

Is it compiled with very latest SDL1.2 from amigaports ? I mean, very last one have lot of fixes, and there were some related to swithing fullscreen/window modes if i remember right in this year.

The problems I mentioned are not the fault of SDL, but limitations of the SDL1.2 code in the Player. It doesn't use the SDL function for the switching, it just recreates the screen, but not everything gets reset, so you get varying results depending on what settings you used to start the Player. It's not really worth the effort to fix though, since SDL1.2 support is on its way out anyway.

@BSzili

Tested, and it works
No problem so far ..

Only minor thing noted, when you iconify the window the name of the iconified icon say "SDL Application" instead of "EasyRPG" as it should be

Now that's sounds like an SDL bug, but it's probably already fixed. I'll try to find a newer SDL library to build an executable with.

edit: It looks like I'm using the latest stable release (1.2.15) from May 2019. I'd rather not update to the development version, as I can't do much testing myself. When there's a new release over at AmigaPorts I'll make sure to grab it.

As an experiment I uploaded an executable built with SDL2. Keep in mind that it's completely untested, so it might not work at all. If you don't have compositing support any you get a "SDL_CreateRenderer failed" error, you can try to launch it with the "--no-vsync" command line argument.
If you have tried it please let me know if it worked, what system you used and if it has hardware compositing support.

Also if possible don't reupload this executable anywhere. Eventually I'll replace the executable in the pack, once it received some testing.

@BSzili

Thanks.

It doesn't start at all, neither from CLI or WB. Nothing happens.

Thanks for trying. That's unfortunate, I guess it didn't work out.

@BSzili

thanks for update will try this out tomorrow

If you can please check the experimental SDL2 executable too.

@BSzili

0.62 working great but the SDL2 executable I think is a Linux one (.elf)? Tried renaming it but nothign happens from WB or shell

Thanks for testing. The SDL2 executable is not for Linux, OS4 uses ELF executables as well.

@BSzili

ah ok thanks ...in that case nothing happens at all when try to run it from WB or shell

What you said initially didn't raise any alarms, since I never built a Linux executable for EasyRPG Player, and OS4 uses ELFs too (file extension notwithstanding). I did however built the Player for one other platform: MorphOS. I so what I uploaded was a MOS executable instead of an OS4 one. Drats. Can you please redownload it, and check if it's any better?

@BSzili
Something like this? :)
