hi everybody!<div><br></div><div>I have just debugged the last problem I had found when playing the Dragon History until the very end. the game is completable with no known glitches. I believe the game engine to be stable now with the only remaining TODO's asking for more clean-ups or documentation. I have tested it on both PowerPC and Intel Macs, on 32-bit and 64-bit machines, and on OS X versions 10.{4,5,6}, and also a little bit on a 64-bit Linux machine with ValGrind. it always works great. I have therefore enabled the engine in the default configuration.<br clear="all">
<br></div><div>anybody willing to test the game is welcome. the game files can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/index-en.html#download">http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/index-en.html#download</a> the walkthrough is at <a href="http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/manual/walkthrough.html">http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/manual/walkthrough.html</a> and the ScummVM savegames along the whole walkthrough can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/manual/draci-savegames-en.zip">http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/manual/draci-savegames-en.zip</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't know whether I should write somewhere the instructions for playing the game and, if yes, where to. the main things to remember are that you have to use both mouse keys, where left is explore, and right is use. also to get to the inventory, either press 'i' or go with the mouse to the top, and to get to the map, either press 'm' or go with the mouse to the bottom. also, Escape skips the intro or exits from the map/inventory, and a mouse click skips the currently played dubbed sentence.</div>
<div><br></div><div>there are some more things for useful debugging, such as 'q' enables quick walking of the hero, 'w' displays the map of the walkable area and the currently walked path, and left/right arrows switch to the previous/next location according to some absolute ordering (but it only works if the debug level is at least 0, to avoid surprises for normal users when accidentally pressed).</div>
<div><br></div><div>does anybody have an idea when will the next release of ScummVM happen? are we going to ship Dragon History out at 1.1 or is 1.0.1 good enough? I would prefer shipping it ASAP.</div><div><br></div><div>
