What happens if you remove USR: assign? I just ran the program without one and it still worked with PROGDIR: / relative paths just like the original README suggests.

edit: I didn't alter any code for these versions.

@Raziel

Yes, I have. My saves for that game are old, I think the old Amiga palette message comes up for them all - whatever that indicates.

This: "Save with old Indiana Jones 4 Amiga palette handling detected"

I compiled 1.06... I'm going to package it with the 'default' so that _one_ file is needed from SF.

edit: Done.

The partial gfx is the hwsurface=1 setting.
I had the no-text occur when I guess it didn't find the font (which is also in default).

N.B. The new 1.06 Lha already has the mods/default files.

Maybe I cannot read, after all... the flare-game 'repo' does not have the default part of the data.

has the required files: extract anywhere and put the mods/default under the mods that is in the game directory.
(mods.txt can be in either mods or config, I haven't looked what happens if both exist with different entries)

I can read, but with the Atlantis game (AMIGA) numeric keypad does not work. It'd make sense that ScummVM treats any SCUMM game the same way.

(Mouse is not the only way though, numeric keys in 2nd row do work)

@Severin

There is no string 'mplayer' in the program file, not 8-bit, not 16-bit.

I ran it out-of-place so it wouldn't find anything, this is all:

@magnetic

The fonts can be downloaded here https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/
These files are still packed, so either get the TTF file with UnArc or do something like

I have a wget built with OpenSSL 1.0.2e which while old, does communicate with Sourceforge without the '--no-check-certificate'. I don't remember where I got it from, possibly I compiled it myself; the OpenSSL installed is that same version.

The wget bundled with Odyssey is 1.12 as well, but apparently with a circa 2009 library.
OpenSSL is at 'o' with the 1.0.2 line.

edit: actually what often happens is that wget doesn't like the mismatch between certificate and hostname.

@Capehill Thanks, the game sends this to console so I guess "yay":

From the VICE thread I realized there might be some PORTING to do here: the SDL2 compositing code? Unless that is automatically in use?

<summary>I compiled Flare 1.05.03. </summary>

N.B. There was a flaw in the provided installation instructions, read http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... id=110768#forumpost110768

In gameplay terms, it has more content than the alpha/early stuff did, and an actual storyline (Empyrean). I played it for an hour as of now. I didn't play on a foreign OS, since the basic concept was familiar already. Although as far as I can remember, I compiled the older versions before playing as well.

Technobabble: libsdl2 is now used, I used the usual prebuilt ones and compiled statically... so if libsdl2 is improved, this needs a recompile to use it. But more importantly, I alluded to here (2014) that 0.19 wasn't really playable on my system. Now there is a separate timer. That means that the game world runs "as it should" irrespective of the framerate. It doesn't take unreasonably long to run from place to place. Just areas with rain are slower (graphically).

I accept a few "playtesters" in the sense, that I'm interested if it doesn't run for you, because I found only one issue and I'm going to work around
it not by altering the code, but by saying "don't do this".

I noticed the graphics do not draw fully with hardware acceleration, but at least running the game like this, it is immediately discernible when the menu screen shows up. As I haven't had a crash or other nuisance from it,
I'll just put a remark that in settings you need to have "hwsurface=0". I think I'll forego the installer script: I'm not even sure how to alter such a plain text setting file from that environment.

PM me if you want to eliminate the obvious "runs only on the one system"-type problems. Most likely going to upload on a weekday this week. OS4Depot.net, yes.

This was -almost- as easy* as the stuff four years ago and earlier, but at least I've long documented the finished cases (tip of the iceberg!) enough to be able to get back to work promptly.

* earlier this year I wasn't able to put together two intermediate builds

edit: THIS weekend doesn't really move things forward, so let's see about week 21.

Just an idea... a handful of people read it - I'm not crossposting - so I'm not holding my breath.

I like SID sounds. The High Voltage SID Collection, which I do not work on, is very likely updated still. I prefer to use a packed ISO file for this large collection. It works well on my AmigaOS setup (via diskimage.device 53.4) but it takes some effort to prepare.

Maybe you have considered doing a HVSC mirror but didn't see why... well, enough said. The website hvsc.c64.org doesn't specify how exactly it should work. Just don't try to charge a fee ;)

Or you may be hosting an existing mirror of course.

No, "virtual device traps" is a trick to reduce the effort expended on drive emulation (with no traps and disk drive use, two processors are emulated full time).

@K-L

Quite, but the order in which these are done plays a part.

Bought this and donated a meager amount to GC.

edit: specification

MUI Mplayer can't do modern SSL. What if...

I remember that when those pygame releases were new I had just crashes, but since a few years they have been working just fine.

@AmigaSociety

I have a project of my own that I'm using pygame for. I use only Notepad.

@pjs

SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

Same as with so many old mobile devices, IBrowse doesn't want to SSL anymore. But I gather in this case there's a way?

edit: Since the answer may be off-site, I put it here: setenv AMISSL/SSL_CLIENT_VERSION tls1

I dislike programs that insist on extensions. Either read or write.
