cons2tcod utility to run roguelikes fullscreen under Vista

(1/2) > >>

packrat:
Hi,

here you can find my utility to solve the problems with running console roguelikes fullscreen under Vista. I hope it works with DoomRL and other Chaosforge games.

(The problem was mentioned here, but that thread is locked and I could not post there.)

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Actually that wont be necessary with the next release -- DoomRL will have a same fake-console mode as AliensRL (along with the older normal console and newer tiles).

packrat:
Somebody might want to use that while we are waiting :) Also, the tools are supposed to work with anything.

However, this should be more interesting, as it can return DoomRL to its roots:

Necklace of the Eye

packrat:
I get no comments here, but I think DoomRL looks quite interesting while played via NotEye... So I add some screenshots:

   

   
It's hard to do any interesting tactical moves in the FPP mode. But playing DoomRL in 3D for a change should be quite fun.

(Pity that DoomRL seems to want to lose the ASCII mode in the future...)

Tavana:
DoomRL will always have ASCII. The upgrade to Graphics as an option will actually make the console run better and have more features.
