I uploaded the binaries here. The Window one was made with MinGW. I found some bugs in the code, but still haven't fix them. Let's see how the CVS is managed, and then we will be able to work on it a bit.

I nominate Peter Hull for leader.

Yes, the story needs to be finished. I'm going to keep playing to find out what story is in there and propose a final one (if no one else does). I guess I can document the story, but not until I finish it. Let's see if someone else wants to do it first ...

The second-last point is important. Plus the bugs need to be worked out and stuff. Maybe we can finish the engine while we're working out the final plot.

Anyway, let's find a leader first and he can order us around. I'm the only one to post on the SourceForge forums yet. Zaphos! Troy! You in?

Heh, I encountered "Maul of the Titans" and it crashed the program, same as it did for Eric Love above. All the attacks that cause crashes for me are in eskill.c; not sure if that's where the errors can be traced too. Still got to figure out weapons; I've been using the same weakass pigsticker since the game started. Maybe I can just up its power next time I recompile It'll be the first butter knife in history to do 9999

How much do the stories differ among characters? I assume choice of character has more impact on gameplay than actual plot, no?

folks,

I've been on holiday... I will reply properly later!!

Pete

wow, KQ must be a good game if people are so interested (even 23).

(this isn't my proper reply but I've been out to the pub so I'm under the affluence of incohol bzbzbzbz)

I'll be happy to coordininate this as Matthew says, but be prepared for me not having much time as there's something else I really want to work on.

Sirocco: please could you update your site to point to http://kqlives.sourceforge.net/ I will also add a link back to yours; http://members.allegro.cc/fenixblade, is it?

23: Can you possible save it just before it crashes and email me the save-file. I'll try and debug it. A case of buggy sprite data making the game impossible to finish? Where's MattSmith

I have one more thing to say on the subject of Bagpuss:
JOHNNY CANUCK: HANDS OFF OUR SAGGY OLD CLOTH CAT
That's all.
(is it possible be OT on an off-topic ordeal?)

Bye for now

Pete

Wow.... For some odd reason my heart skipped. Could it be because someone(Chris) asked me to help.

I'm here to help in any which way needed. I haven't heard from my character designer in a while so I'll help as long as you need me.

This is going to be cool.

To make things easier, let's use the same Allegro conventions (explained in docs/txt/hack.txt). Basically, tabulations of 8 spaces, alignment of 3 spaces, and a few more things.

Tomorrow I have an interview, so beginning at the weeked I will start commiting the new "formated" code. And about the weapon shop bug, yes, it is indeed there. I guess it has something to do with the weapon list format, but anyway, that is the first bug to fix

(Edited: we must write down a paper on how to code the towns and NPCs and everything else with Lua... the way it is handled right now is almost as strict as having them hard coded).

ReyBrujo: Sounds good; shall we wait for you to reformat the code, then worry about bugs, then go from there? If we have the rules for coding conventions (good idea, btw) maybe we could split up the work. Not that there's much, mind you ... okay, nevermind

Rules for coding, both source and Lua, is a great idea. It's not the style I personally use but I'll happily conform. Now that something is actually happening, I feel like taking a crack at graphics again ....

KQ for-evah!

Well, duh I'm going to try and replace some of the current mosters (and in the process, figure out how to adjust the palette. I don't see it in the datafiles). Later on, I'll just make new ones as the need arises. Probably not a priority for a while though ...

Executables have been uploaded at Sourceforge (and my temporary page). Matthew also uploaded Windows binaries. They have an obvious bug (if you try to buy a weapon, the game shuts down). But other than that (and that you cannot defeat a boss ), you should be able to try it

Thanks. I've finally been able to play it. I like how all the shops crash That makes things very difficult.

I've only played for a little bit, but the double spiders keep killing me. Really hard. Any weaker enemies that I can level up on?

btw - I've only been using Ayla as a character.

I keep getting those spider guys. There are two of them. I can either 1 - heal myself, then die. Or 2 - kill one of them, and then die. I don't know if they're called goblins or not. Ah well. I'll give it a better shot tomorrow.

I hope you guys really do a good job on finishing it up and stuff. That will be totally sweet. (everytime I say totally sweet I think of ninjas. heh. stupid ultimate power website)
