Lemma Soft Forums

Sounds interesting, but I wonder what they meant by turning a page in history as it doesn't seem any different from what everyone else is doing here.

Spambots are plaguing the forums!

Don't forget that with Linux, installing dependancies can be done in a single command of apt-get, yum or whatever. In Windows, if there are multiple dependancies (which aren't included), you got to track down all the sites and locate all the download links and install each of the packages individual...

The thing with separate files is that people could be confused. They usually like to download just one file. And I'm thinking that some places only allow one file per submission (things like Download.com is people plan to use it). You're right, that did not cross my mind. I was thinking in terms of...

I would say a separate zip and exe. Unzipping directy off an exe is not so obvious that it can be done that way.

How about an installer that works off a zip file? Basically, the installer would do nothing more than present a nice interface for installing and uninstalling and maybe some icons too. That way, those who like the installer can use it while those on platforms that does support exe's can unzip direct...

Ah yes.., not having a scanner can be an annoyance. It seems that someone is offering their skills on this thread its a good idea to take this opportunity!

From what I see, Allegro (with DX) uses the WaitForVerticalBlank( ) function for polling vsync, which is what I was referring to as the "helper" function from the OS, though I was wrong about it being part of the win32 API. The GDI driver is exactly what PyTom said, only simulates vsync by a timer. ...

I'd like to use this occasion to ask a more general question : what do people think of fan-games using official art ? Thumbs down for me. I like original work even if its fanart. Jinnai : you say you're good at drawing but don't have a tablet... What's the problem exactly ? You can't color or you c...

I prefer zip file. With an installer, I always have the feeling that uninstalling through the "Add/Remove" will not cleanly uninstall all the files that were installed. Though I'm sure that's only the case of evil software packages. I like the idea of unpacking everything into a single directory. In...

What? Really? I didn't know that. Yeah, I just also found out that SDL 1.2.10 now defaults to windib too. So the vsync prob is likely only happening now because 1) you don't have vsync option "on" in your video card settings or 2) somehow SDL is selecting the directx driver for some reason or 3) it'...

DirectX doesn't have exclusive access to the video card in windowed mode because the OS (windows) has it and therefore it cannot vsync without the help of the OS. This is the case with SDL, which is what ren'py is based off of. Allegro handles vsyncing correctly in windowed mode because it uses help...

If renpy is using pygame, which in turn is using SDL and from what I understand, vsync is unavailable under windowed mode in windows. You'd have to use fullscreen. I think the problem is dued to how DirectX works.

I agree with that graphics don't have to be exceptionally great, but I think having nicer graphics is always a good bonus. Afterall, a VN striped of its graphics is just a novel and we can't judge a novel to be bad because it lacks the visuals.

Here's my bug report for the day (Linux platform only): $ python run_game.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_game.py", line 43, in ? renpy.bootstrap.bootstrap(renpy_base) File "/tmp/renpy-5.5.2a/renpy/bootstrap.py", line 111, in bootstrap renpy.import_all() File "/tmp/renpy-5.5.2a/renpy...
