Speaking of bugs, if the last skeleton at the end of Level 3 is killed by falling instead of killing it via the crusher, it won't register the death. This skeleton can be killed via falling by bringing him to the route of where the bottom heal potion is. I forgot if this method is faster than just ...

If the player dies (or goes to game end), the actions completed for the current level could be remarked as not completed (if that's even possible). I don't think it's possible to "partially reset" the splits from an autosplitter. Here is a list of what's possible. Though it's possible to ...

Fixed a bug which caused the splitter to falsely detect a guard falling out of the screen, when the player merely left the room of a living guard.

Here is the updated version, now with splits for levels 1-9:

What I don't know is where is it set to 31 (0x1F) which means "jammed". When a guard dies on a drop button? (I didn't look at the code. Just a guess.) That would be logical, but I can't find any call to set_doorlink_timer() which could to that. I added a debug printout in animate_button()...

Trick 4 (guard disables spikes) doesn't seem to work on the SNES. It's hard to see, but there is a spiked guard behind the spiked prince. guard_does_not_disable_spikes.png (This is on level 2, next to the exit.) And somehow this guard survived falling into spikes (while the was off-screen?). how_did...

While browsing through my leapop code, I noticed that it combines bits 3-7 of the 2nd events byte for an events timer (arEventsTimer). [...] I do not recall how I even know it's a "timer", it's not documented as such in poirot's specs either. It may come from the SDLPoP source? https://gi...

Spam is coming from a user who made legitimate posts back in 2017: https://forum.princed.org/search.php?author_id=2597&sr=posts (Note: Only admins and mods will see the trashed spam posts.) I think spammers hacked this account. The spam posts all come from a single IP address, different from th...

Sweet. I see the autosplitter uses in-game time, which could be rather useful for a more exact in-game time. By the way, I changed the timing method in the layout back from Game Time to Current Timing Method, because I finally figured out how to select Game Time as the current. (right click -> Comp...

Can anyone tell me how the program knows that PRINCE/ has a collection of res151-173.png images that are part of a certain chtab that goes from 0-22 (and not e.g. 23)? The number of images is in the first byte of the palette, res150.pal in your example. 0x17 = 23 means that image IDs go from 150+1 ...

- Maybe the splash screen should mention README.md instead of doc/Readme.txt, now that the latter refers to the former. (The same for --help.) Fixed: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/commit/96ebfe3eff09901f8737d33535efce97292e325a - Maybe remove QUICKSAVE.SAV and screenshots/, that both appear in .g...

(I wanted to post this a week ago, but the forum kept timing out then...) As an example, the documentation says, "T: Toggle display of timer". To me, "T" is a capital t, which makes me do Shift+t, which increases hit points. [Edit: Maybe it is just me and my programmer mind. That...

[...] if the game kept track of the guards killed and potions drank, we could assign a split for each time it checks for when a guard is killed and a potion has been drunk, [...] For example: Level 1 splits: - Heal potion at room 8, tile 27 - Heal potion at room 12, tile 4 - Sword (if there's a che...

- Feedback from gcc 11.3.0. In options.c, function load_dos_exe_modifications(), opcode - interestingly, for the "else if" - may be used uninitialized. Could this be another gcc bug, like this one ? And now I too got this warning, when I compiled for release. It appears with the -O2 optio...

Here is the release candidate of SDLPoP v1.23, attached to the post. The ZIP contains the Windows binaries and the source as usual. The list of changes since the last release can be found here: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/blob/a430ff3ae8796615012720647300fb1a2e6af833/doc/ChangeLog.txt#L651-L730 ...
