SDLPoP; David's open-source port of PoP

[Norbert]

Maybe change this to httpS.
There are 74 other mentions of http (in .c, .h, .txt files) that are httpS nowadays.
Please don't shoot the messenger.

It's not that hard to replace them using the "replace in all open documents" feature of NotePad++.
(I used it eariler to update the copyright year.)

The question is, should I replace them in the licence or should licences be kept verbatim?
I have the same question about the GNU URL in the header of every source file.

EDIT: I'm wondering if people typing the URL from the splash screen will even type "https://".

This is a good question. I think you can safely change these to httpS. They changed the license (from, to) and how-to (from, to), but perhaps more relevant, as an example, one of the quintessential GNU packages, coreutils also made this change; see the diff (top section).

Nice.
I see you even noticed the "philosophy"->"licenses" URL change.

Why aren't tile buttons enabled in SDLPoP???
Norbert t David!!! Tell me what you need to include in the program?
viewtopic.php?f=73&t=4361
In DOSBox I work, and in SDLPoP all tiles on/off are not included....
Yes and in other (MOD), too, not included, where there is blue jug with trigger inclusion..

That is a bug that will be fixed in the next release of SDLPoP (related commit).
So, you'll have to wait for the next release.

Thanks for the answer, and when to expect a new version or a fixed file? Roughly on time..

I don't know, David decides.

[Edit: Removed some potentially confusing text from this post.]

Fixed problems with sound priorities, which were reported earlier: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/commit/ ... 9343f2ba15

It could be even this weekend.
Should the new version be 1.19.1 or 1.20?

[Norbert]

Should the new version be 1.19.1 or 1.20?

Looking at previous SDLPoP versions, 1.18.1 was an exception that was released 7 days after 1.18 because (emphasis mine):

Here is a new version (v1.18.1) in which I fixed the recently reported bugs of v1.18.

So, I'd use 1.20 for the upcoming regular release.
While it primarily includes fixes, it isn't explicitly(/exclusively) an 'improved iteration' of 1.19.

A SDLPoP-Vita video (how-to, I think).

Small bug. In level 7 of Jaffar Strikes Back, this happens in DOS, and this happens in SDLPoP.

The PRINCE.EXE of this mod has this hack, which I didn't yet copy into SDLPoP.
