Title: cons2tcod utility to run roguelikes fullscreen under Vista
Post by: packrat on June 15, 2010, 10:47

Hi,

here (http://z137.webs.com) 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 (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?topic=2328.0), but that thread is locked and I could not post there.)

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).

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:

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...)

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