Okay, I've always wondered this, but when you have multiple groups, how exactly does the randomization work? Say I have 4 different ones, 1 group, 2 group, 3 group and 4 group. They're all set to 5%. Does it go down the list, so if 1 group doesn't hit 5%, it goes to 2 group, etc.? I wonder if the higher number of groups should be first or lower number of groups.dulsi wrote:The render quality seems fine to me.
I've released 0.5.9. I didn't get a chance to include many of caars requests. I did allow you to specify 0.1% but not like that. The default die roll for encounters is 1d100. You can now modify that to a different die roll. So if you specify it as 1d1000 and you set the chance of an encounter to 1, that is the equivalent of 0.1%.
So, does this mean I need to start making larger images? It will scale to any size? Obviously, larger files means larger file size. We don't want to go up from small, but down from large.dulsi wrote:The reason for this release is mainly my PocketCHIP. I showed it to my coworkers running btbuilder. The first comment was "isn't it hard to read". They are right. The screen is 480 x 272 and btbuilder was running 320 x 200 with black all around it. I plan on showing it off again on Thursday to a linux user group so I needed to fix that complaint. While I could try scaling things myself, SDL2 has this built in. Windows versions of all the SDL2 libraries I need are now available for my crosscompiler. Bt Builder is now compiled with SDL2.

I did debate moving entirely to 640x400 but I ported Troll Bridge to SDL2 and it ran slow on my PocketCHIP. I thought it was because it is 8-bit color initially. Eventually I found that Bt Builder is also slow but as a turn based game you don't notice it except for animations. PocketCHIP does not have hardware acceleration at the moment which is using by SDL2 to do scaling. I threw together a quick and easy scaling function for software rendering. It now runs well but the routine is very simple and not good. We still need the lower resolution right now. Hopefully PocketCHIP gets hardware acceleration soon.Methuselas wrote:So, does this mean I need to start making larger images? It will scale to any size?
