Prince of Persia

I've just released version 3.8 of apoplexy.

Download via: https://www.apoplexy.org/
Download mirror: https://www.popot.org/level_editors.php?editor=apoplexy

Changes since the last version:

+ It's now possible to quickly jump to rooms ("j").
+ Added PoP1 for DOS loose floor settings (F3).
+ Proper warning if downloading from Popot.org fails.

Norbert, two suggestions in the Apoplexy editor:

1. Can you add a button somewhere, so that when I click, Apoplexy auto updates itself? It's too difficult to update (I am not talking about a single setup) especially when you have two or more setups on the computer. For example, I use one for editing & creating my new mods, and two or three for seeing the events and level map of other mods. So, if I have to update all three, it's lot more work, than just clicking button at three places. Seems fair and easy to implement?

2. Can you create something, where if we press - (minus key) the level for editing shown goes backward somehow? I know it already works, but if you press minus key when you are at Level 1, it doesn't go to Level 15 or Level 14, whichever is the last level. What I experienced in my latest MOD, Rescue Of Persia, I was editing Level 13 (12b) for almost 2 days and I had to press "+" for a lot of times, where in just a simple single or a couple of "-" would have shifted the level editing to Level 13 (12b). I hope this is also easy to implement.

Thanks!

I've put the suggestions on the todo-list.
No promises that it will be added, or when.

Does apoplexy v3.8 run in Windows XP?

I don't know for sure because I have no Windows XP to test, but I think it does.
It is a 32-bit executable compiled with Dev-Cpp 5.11.

Event number not visible if guard is near it. You can fix it if it's easy

I just switched to Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday, and the Apoplexy v3.8 is not working on it. Do you have to make it executable, some sort of that?

Error:

./apoplexy: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Do you have to use Wine to start it? Also there are no files in prince directory... Please help... Thanks!

To fix this, you can run:
$ sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0 libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0 libcurl4 libzip4

When you start apoplexy, it will allow you to auto-download these files.
(It will show a button you can click to initiate the download.)

Yup, now it works great (I guess faster than Windows! ).

Thank you!

B.T.W: Why you decided to auto-download files for Linux but NOT for Windows?

In my experience, Linux users are generally more concerned with copyrights.
They may not want to share/distribute the program if its package contains abandonware.
Requiring downloads is potentially less user-friendly, because it might fail (e.g. popot.org down, firewall issues, ...).
By the way, if a Windows user removes the games, the download buttons also show up there.
