Does it solve your macro problems? I couldn't test the fix on Vista.

It works like a charm now. Just like it did before. Thanks. Very Happy

I just want to express my gratitude towards the Stone Soup crew for
all the effort they put into perfecting my favorite roguelike.

Keep up the good work!

Hi, I would like to know if the current tile version will support resolution
lower than 800x600. I think it will be great news to many handheld and UMPC
users whose device are having VGA display.
I posted in the feature request in sourceforge a couple days ago. But today I
looked at the list again but I found the request is gone (removed? deleted?)
without knowing why.
Anyway, keep up the great work and thanks for the effort.
Dave

At the moment, no. Each tile graphic is 32x32 pixels and the
potential LOS is 17x17 squares. This means a minimum of 544x544
pixels.

At some nebulous point in the future when I rewrite the code to use
OpenGL instead of just blitting, then it will be possible to have
smaller screen resolutions. It won't be (as) pretty, but it could be
functional.

It wasn't removed or deleted, just closed. I had (perhaps
incorrectly) assumed that you would get an email notification about it
because you had a sf account.

Thanks! I got the SF message.
Just a wild thought: if it takes rewriting the whole code for
resizing, how about simply reduce the visible tiles (less than 17
tiles) to fit VGA display? Would it be difficult to do that? If not
where should I do the modification? I am no programmer but sometimes I
do tweak a line or two in the Makefiles and source files to make
things but on small linux devices. Thanks in advance.

This would have a direct gameplay effect: you would not be able to see
on screen everything that is within the 8-tile visual range of your
character. As such, I would strongly recommend that you *not* do that.

Fair enough. Perhaps I will hold out for new version.
Please keep up the good work. Crawl is a great game, and it can easily be a
killer game on small devices.

-Crawl SS- Yet another First Stone Soup Victory! CeTM - Woohoo! Since bows were made more powerful, I figured, that this char type could really benefit. I have been playing this combo for months, and have killed many decent ones. In this case, having enough ammo actually made bows worthwhile, and centaurs....

-Crawl Stone Soup 1.2- YAVP - Sacia, the Human Wanderer - Finally, the human, and the wanderer. It was my last absolutely necessary combo. Halfling, Ogre Mage, and High Elf are the remaining races. I nearly died many times, especially in Zot. Victory #23 with 23 different races, almost wasnt a victory. ..

[Stone Soup] how to play with Mac OS X ? - Hi :) I dowloaded the Mac version of the game, Installed and launched it But, I can't play because the game is pretty horrible in the Terminal, unlike the windows version, color are weird, the fog of war don't work and so on. Can you help me ? Thank...

Stone of Earth Elementals - I have a Deep Elf Wizard up to level 12. He is on level 14 or so of the dungeon. There is a Rod of Destruction for sale in the Vault area. It will take just about all of my cash to buy it. I'm new to the game and wondering if it is worth the 750 coins....

-Crawl- LOL - hohohoho, I killed my PC with stupidity, i.e. looking into a crystal ball too much :D gladly it wasn't the main PC though, I just wanted to explore and experiment a bit.
