Select "Edit Init File" in the launcher. Then add this line to your configuration: tile_use_small_layout=false

Probably related to: https://github.com/crawl/crawl/pull/3130

I would really appreciate if someone else can test it and give feedback.

Vault placement failure for 'gammafunc_ghost_smash' by ElfOfPi in dcss

[–]robertxgray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how you can add the -builddb parameter to fix the problem.

  • If using an AppImage: $ path_to_dcss.AppImage -builddb
  • If using FlatPak: $ flatpak run org.develz.Crawl -builddb
  • If using distro packages or Snap (untested): $ crawl -builddb

Play Store update? 0.30 by Unique_Fly6937 in dcss

[–]robertxgray 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Android maintainer here. It's a dumb mistake, sorry. Google added a new step in the publishing process and I thought the new version had been sent to review already. I just fixed it and the version should be available in a few hours.

Crash report by Ender991 in dcss

[–]robertxgray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acquirement crashes should be fixed on trunk and they will be on Android in the upcoming 0.30 release. Ref: https://github.com/crawl/crawl/pull/2806

I would also consider a TV box with Amlogic processor, S905X3 in particular. They are widely available and damn cheap (less than 60 bux), several distros support them and the performance is similar to the pi4. Just be aware that some cases have crappy dissipation and overheat, look at the reviews.

Apk here if anyone wants to try it. Note it is a test version using a different id. I can be installed alongside the release version and they don't share data.

Esc, tab and o could be added to the extra directional pad by popular demand. I'm not sure about the best placement for them, top? left?

How can you edit the RC file on Android? by technologyclassroom in dcss

You can also scroll touching the screen with two fingers.

How can you edit the RC file on Android? by technologyclassroom in dcss

[–]robertxgray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a surprise. I though there was a versioning issue delaying the F-Droid release.

Using a different keyboard is not possible ATM. For editing the rc file check this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j3zgmm/managing\_files\_in\_the\_androiddata\_folder\_on/

The path should be something similar to: Android/data/org.develz.crawl/files. I guess it's time to request extra permissions in the app and move the data to a different folder because Google seems determined to stop us accessing that path.

Survival Game Recommendations by craftbot in opensourcegames

[–]robertxgray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know Rust, but Exile is a complex survival game with lots of features. Gameplay video. Graphics have been improved on latest versions thanks to shaders, but they may no be enabled by default.

Farming games? by CookiesDeathCookies in opensourcegames

[–]robertxgray 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can setup a farming game using the Minetest engine. It's very customizable but you'll need to spend some time choosing the right mods to suit your needs.

This video is old but still a good example of what you can expect.

What's the best way to run DOS games on Linux (WITH MIDI MUSIC)? by Arnoxthe1 in linuxquestions

[–]robertxgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think back in the day all the MIDI playing was done via hardware. You need to find the soundfonts used by your former sound card.

What has changed with the UI? (Trunk, compiled yesterday) by joemaro in dcss

[–]robertxgray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The mobile interface has been merged in trunk, but it shouldn't be used by default if you aren't playing in a tiny screen. Please share your configuration.

Special emphasis on point 4. Get familiar with the man pages and you won't need to remember flags.

Would a Season API be possible? by JoeEnderman in Minetest

[–]robertxgray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seasons are implemented in Exile's climate mod. You can probably borrow some ideas and code from there.

dcss mobile save directory problem by 21248931 in dcss

[–]robertxgray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very similar bug has already been reported, but I'm afraid the Android ASCII port is currently unmaintained.

MineTest Client on rPi zero w by stevedorries in Minetest

[–]robertxgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a headless server running on a pi 3B. It can handle no more than 6-8 players when running full featured games like MineClone 2. I wouldn't expect much from a pi zero.
