Some questions

[DoctorNicholas]

1. why did the forums go back to russian? its very hard to read now. If there is a way to set it back, can you show me how? I cannot read russian nor can the translators translate this site for some reason. lol

2. bennugd keeps asking me to ask you to port bennu to dreamcast. they say it would probably be as easy by just replacing the fenix code with bennu code.

3. do you think you can make me an .avi and/or .mp3 playing .dll for the dreamcast version of fenix?

4. the R trigger is supposedly backspace and the L trigger is supposedly tab. do you think you can get those to work? source. It is not that big of a deal to have the triggers working.

Thanks

Цитата:why did the forums go back to russian?

Because it's russian forum with english section so russian is the main language but to switch language to english do this action:

Hey SWAT, what is the start key for fenix? Its not enter anymore.

[SWAT]

I still can not find the time to finish DreamShell, fenix later...

[DoctorNicholas]

I just want to the start key and sound effects to work. Do you have work in the way of all of this?

[SWAT]

No I do not have anything better.

[DoctorNicholas]

Well I saw an IP.bin creator and it had a buttons thing, could it be that you didnt check the start button or whatever? I have absolutely no idea what I am tlaking about so if you are confused, I am too. This too I have no idea but, do you have the SDL_mixer inside your 1ST_READ.bin?

When you look at the 12 hours for dreamshell and the 10 minutes to fix the mistake in fenix, what could you do :3?

[SWAT]

IP.BIN nothing to do with this. SDL_mixer is inside.
To fix this may need a minute, but to find the cause can be time consuming. While I was not even a minute can not spend DreamShell, to say nothing about anything else. I have a lot of work, so the hobby is suffering

[DoctorNicholas]

ah. well I got the bennu monolithic compiled in kos and you can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?cscdm6mh5i3ybds, I can bootdreams and another program to convert one elf or the other to 1st_read.bin, but upon startup the game crashes with this error I see


what did you do to get the compiler and intereprester into 1st_read.bin? and do you think you can share with me what you did to get the autorun.dcb to work? (i dont want to put a file manager in this bennu, just have it look for autorun lol). and how do you get the controls set up? thanks

[SWAT]

Compilation is not all that needs to be done, you need to change part of the platform dependent code. What exactly should be changed in your case, I can not say this simply, you need to study the source code.

[DoctorNicholas]

How do I open the source code? and where do you think os code might be? even if you arent working on it, could you help me with it?

Well anyways,
When you get the time to work on something, could you take a look at fenix and add L and R support, start button did not seem to be working, nor did play_wav() (which is the sound effect player).

[SWAT]

Source on repo http://bennugd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bennugd/

[DoctorNicholas]

Ok I did a straight porting of it. I have 1 error and 1 warning in codeblocks, some syntax thing.

When you ported fenix over, do you know if you did anything special? like there is code in the interpreter for loading a .dcb, im assuming its exactly the same as fenix, could you show me what you did to load autorun.dcb?

In bennu there is bgdc (compiler) and bgdi (interpreter, plays the games), I am just covnerting the interpreter, was that something similar to what you did in fenix?

thanks

This archive I sended to the fenix authors at the time, it contains only modified source code.

Thanks a bunch! I looked inside the code and I saw the area where the controls were listed, no wonder I could not get things working XD. I did not see the L and R buttons in that part of code. Do you think you can program in the L and R buttons and change the a b x y back to what chuy had them to, and get play_wav to work? http://chui.dcemu.co.uk/sdl.html

I have codeblocks set up on my computer and cygwin, but I cannot compile, I set up everything according to some tutorials but I keep getting undefined reference, which is supposedly something to do with gcc. Thanks

[SWAT]

This block of code is commented out and not used. Control settings are used as default in Chui.

[DoctorNicholas]

do you know why scrolling doesn't work?

[SWAT]

No...

[DoctorNicholas]

They just ported a beta of bennu to dreamcast http://forum.bennugd.org/index.php?topic=2811.0
care to see if it can be integrated into dreamshell?

[SWAT]

Maybe after release the new DS.
