The Stranger's Adventure

[Brick Break]

I guess I can do that for you... but I'll be busy for the next 3 days, I'll get back to you on sunday!

Great!

It's supposed to work that way! The game shows your last selection while displaying the character speach and you'll have to press 'Z' until the character is finish and sometimes, another choice will appear to make the talking going on another subject. And when that happens, a yellow line like "What do you want?" will appear while another choice will have to be made. In fact, you'll notice a yellow line everytime you engage a character with a choice to make...

I always felt like I wasn't in control of the conversation.

I'll try that ASAP, didn't know about OSS... Will it be able to detect my soundblaster card 5.1 vx?

I really have no idea. My uncle told me that soundblaster is pretty standard and if you write something for the soundblaster card it will work on most other cards too.

Personally I don't like the idea of "cards" (think graphics card) and I like to use slightly higher level libraries.
By the way, I figured out how to bypass including Windows libraries:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

#ifdef __FB_WIN32__

    declare sub PlaySoundA alias "PlaySoundA" (byval as zstring ptr,byval as integer ptr,byval as uinteger)



    public sub loopsound(byval sound as string)

        PlaySoundA(sound,0,8 OR 2 OR 1)

    end sub



    public sub playsound(byval sound as string)

        PlaySoundA(sound,0,2 OR 1)

    end sub



    public sub stopsound

        PlaySoundA(0,0,0)

    end sub

#endif

That frees up a lot of function space!

@Brick:
I don't get it... I'm using the same code chr$(255) + "k" for Alt-F4 for both Windows and Linux and it seems to work only for Windows... I don't know if there is another code for Linux or if I have to activate something in Debian Linux but at least, I fixed a lot of bugs in the Linux version because of its case sensitivity... I also worked on it an extra 3 hours yesterday to figure this out by myself!

You know Linux much more than me so I thought you could help for Alt-F4...

Anyway you can download the updated version 6.9 as usual in my first post...

Thank you for waiting!

Thank you for looking into this. Now, I don't know much more about Linux than you. I don't know how you would solve your problems, but here are a few suggestions:

Test chr(255)+"h" and chr(255)+"x" and maybe chr(0)+"k" and chr(0)+"x" and chr(0)+"h" If none of those work, see if checking for Alt-F4 will detect close events on its own. Keep in mind that in FreeBASIC checking for a close event is not checking for Alt-F4, so that gets its own check. Here's what I use in FreeGDK:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

dim shared as string*2 closeTriggerString=chr$(255)+"k"
dim shared as ubyte escapeKeyEnabled=1

public sub sync


    pcopy

    cls 0

    if multikey(&h38) and multikey(&h3E) or inkey$()=closeTriggerString then end

    if escapeKeyEnabled=1 then if multikey(&h01) then end


end sub
