More Flare - if your sand can take it

I compiled Flare 0.19 now (website http://www.flarerpg.org/ ). But I'm not going to play it on my computer, so I need your help to see it's alright. You have either a fast system like X1000 or simply enough patience to actually play the game for a bit. Putting it through the various sections in 10 minutes is not really sufficient.

I don't know exactly how it compares with 0.17 or 0.18 performance wise, but the premise is the same and this build uses 2D SDL still.

PM or similar welcomed, ideally from a few persons. I want to hear if the one build already works - if not, I'm unlikely to do code changes.

OS4Depot has an older version (sans the data) that performs alright on most systems, and my intention is again to not replace it. The data is still on sourceforge as far as I know.

@Thematic

I have it installed on my system.
Happy to give it a go if it is as simple as swapping the executables over.

Clarification, I meant sourceforge has all current and old datas. Each new version requires new data as far as the primary content is concerned. Save games though are simple enough that they may migrate.

Downloading now.

@Thematic

lol the thread title confused me enough to open it

love flare on my X1000 so will be glad to test it out later tonight

@Thematic

PM sent. btw, cool that Flares homepage has our AmigaOS logo on it

I'm convinced, so will prepare a release.

edit: The 0.17 data is available from github.com/clintbellanger/flare-game . If you want to install that instead.

@Thematic

thanks! Flare's new release along with BOH's keeps my love for top down dungeon crawlers happy on my X1000

Uploaded to Aminet. Install script should work, it was broken in 0.18. :P

Excellent. As said in email, all seems good on my X1000. Thanks.

@ddni

same here. Very playable at 1280x1024 & getting more polished with each version

I see the character classes changed with this update so hopefully I can copy my characters stats over ??

I found my old saves were ok from a data point of view, but the character is rendered naked and headless! Looked so scary even the zombies ran away!

@ddni

lol I think I'll start from scratch again

just finished a few missions, hit Esc to save and exit but when I went to go check if game was saved there's no saved slot? jutst shows 4 new slots again?

IIRC you need to manualy create a save drawer in the drawer where Flare is installed.

The installer should create the saves drawer for you.

@Severin

In my experience, it doesn't.

I wonder what
(makedir (tackon #fdest "saves"))
does :P

ah that's what i get for not logging into IRC for a while yes thanks, creating a simple save folder solved the problem

@ ddni

think I told you this before (but just in case) I love your new avatar..DHO:!

@328gts

Glad you got sorted.
Yes the avatar makes me smile too. I made it a few years back as my MSN messenger avatar.
