I must admit, Slash, the quality of the UI graphics kicks ass. Looks *very* professional to me :).

Hmm, maybe it's high time to start worrying about DoomRL graphics version :-P

P.S. Where did you take the graphics from? The tilesets, UI graphics, plot screens and character portraits?

1. Graphics kicks ass
2. So does the intro
3. But you still use that crappy old whip sound
4. Plus it shows some error when this one is played

5. On dark monitors, like mine, bats in forest at night are effectively invisible - add something brighter to the sprite - dunno, eyes perhaps?
6. I think that there should be a non-gfx version also for people with weaker computers or hardcore rougelikers - just a thought

A professional graphical artist (a.k.a. Christopher Barrett) volunteered to the project, his work is amazing ;)

any specific order in which I should record the sounds? xD

Hehe :P

I can send you a list of the sounds so we can divide the ripping work, if you are still willing and have time to do this ;)

Yes, this happens for all melee weapons as I havent programmed their graphic effects... this will be fixed on next version

Will talk the artist about this

Oh yes off course... the architecture of the engine allows easily for this... next version will provide a Dual launcher object so you can just "java -jar crl121.jar -graphics" or "java -jar crl121.jar -console" via batch files or something.

Thanks for your comments

Willing - yes, time...ummm...it'll have to wait some time (up to a week I think? hopefully less) as I'm a bit busy with work at the moment :/ (And I think I've gave you whip/jump sounds some time a go as an "sample")
