[SteamPunkRue]

Calm down... I suppose there's a reason why Kornel hasn't replied yet?  Maybe you might want to PM him directly to check on the status of your request...

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

The official release is almost finished, so there's no need for more beta testing.

Keep your eyes open for the release!

Oh goody, ye olde demon slaughter upgrades to catch up with demon slaughter IN SPACE! :)

To celebrate, I will now have some chocolate milk cornflakes.

I believe DiabloRL is open sourced.  However, the maintainer is still Kornel.

[NbnessRL]

can someone still send me the beta???

[you]

Sure. Take it. Everybody can get and test it. DiabloRL 0.4.5 RC1. Don't forget to post every bug you find.

DiabloRL 0.45 RC1 - no sound Linux 64bit version
DiabloRL 0.45 RC1 - no sound Linux 32bit version (faulty :-P )

Overall the Linux version seems okay, but I think we need to look into these:

1. High ASCII avoidance option should be needed at least for the Linux version.
2. Escape key needs to be entered twice for anything that allows it.
3. The screen doesn't redraw itself when the terminal is resized.

That's all I have for now.  But bear in mind I'm no super beta-tester for DiabloRL.  >.>

It's the same for DoomRL. I kind of got used to it.

Yeah, but that doesn't make it right though.  I wonder why the Escape key needs to be dealt with that way.  Is there some hidden thing I'm not noticing from terminal emulation?

I suspect the terminal emulator considers Escape an escape key. Shocking, eh?
