Dear,

Yes, I can run that under Linux.
Unfortunately, in-game, it only has one frame every 9 (or so) seconds, so it's too slow to play the game.

Its a problem on graphics driver for monogame, for replicate i can investigate on a real linux machine, now i dont have it.

This errors are present in all version, there are some missing kid sprite graphics, i dont found it on original mac source code, this
is only a warnings is not bind to your linux performance problem.

Maybe this overview of errors is useful:

I get similar errors but the game is not slow for me: viewtopic.php?p=15329#p15329

It seems to me that these errors are about missing sprites.
Namely, Kid_166 and Kid_86 are missing from Sprites/player/Kid_dos/ .
And Kid_166 is shown twice because it occurs twice in Sequences/dos/kid_sequence.xml .

EDIT: polipo answered while I was writing my post.

Then where do you get those sprites??? the mac source has all it???

First of all, what you call "mac source" is the Apple II source.
The Apple II version is not the Macintosh version.

I see you copied the sequences (more or less) from SEQTABLE.S.

"Frame" and "image" mean different things in the PoP source.
An "image" is just an image that has width, height, and pixels.
A "frame" is an image plus some other data, like sword image, x/y offsets.
Frames are defined in FRAMEDEF.S.

According to FRAMEDEF.S:
Frame 166 (of the kid) uses image $0f (15), just like frame 15.
Frame 86 uses image $1d (29), just like frame 29.

Can you show me what sprites are you talking about, becuase i cant find the sprites images into the source...

How do you solved it, i trough you need to create a new player instance every times level reset, or im wrong???

(Does the "source" in your post mean the Apple II source?)
The sprites (images) in PoP.net are from the DOS version, not from the Apple II source.

Although there are some images in the Apple II source, they are in a special format.
They are here: https://github.com/jmechner/Prince-of-P ... rce/Images

Dear to all,
yes i talk about Apple II version, i have used it for catch the correct animation sequences in SEQTABLE.S file.
I know they are different from the pc dos version (offset and other missing anim sprite),
but i looked into it for undestand how the sprite anim works.
Today i have discovered the david's prince reassembled pc version. Great work David!

salvadorc-> you need to create a new player instance ?

yes, i use the "StartNewLife()" function also i have fixed some bugs on player dead.

david->According to FRAMEDEF.S:..

yes thanks, i have changed the kid_sequence to appropriate spriteset.

That changes means plus new sprites??? you have uploaded all recently made to the source code???

That changes means plus new sprites???

No, now the kid sprite set is complete

you have uploaded all recently made to the source code???

No yet, as soon i will upload the new sourcecode

Do you mean the David's open-source port of PoP (pre-release) topic?

Hey, im trying to add debug code to the project, this functions are well made???

Yes

Code: Select all

public RoomNew NextRoom(RoomNew room)
{
	int c = room.roomIndex;


	if (c != 0) {
		c = System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(ref c);
	}


	foreach (RoomNew r in rooms) {

		if (r.roomIndex == c) {
			return r;

		}

	}


	return blockRoom;
}

public RoomNew PreviuosRoom(RoomNew room)
{
	int c = room.roomIndex;


	if (c != 0) {
		c = System.Threading.Interlocked.Decrement(ref c);

	} else if (c > 1) {
		c = System.Threading.Interlocked.Decrement(ref c);

	}


	foreach (RoomNew r in rooms) {

		if (r.roomIndex == c) {
			return r;

		}

	}


	return blockRoom;
}

Dear,
i don't uderstand you have used the interlocked, the monogame framework don't need the sync of thread or i'm wrong?

..debug code..

it means? for debug usually are function for write a log or event for trace errors, in your code i dont see it.

Question: Why you and other prince fan don't join into the PoP.net project ?
The scope of the project is made a generic engine for platform 2d game like PoP

bye
