New version released! As ever, download it here
| In the whatsnew was wrote: | WHAT IS NEW?
July 09 2006 [hasta-la-qb]
* This is the final version to support a real DOS version (GAME-QB and
CUSTOMQB) You should be using the Windows or Linux versions already
anyway.
* New Features
* Input string gets 3 new arguments, center, positionx, positiony.
It also behaves a little different now.(Yuriy)
* Hspeak.exe now waits for a keypress when finished, which should avoid
a lot of confusion for new plotscripters who are unfamiliar with
command-line tools. Also added -k option to supress this new
behaviour [James Paige]
* Memory usage of the QB build has been trimmed a little. Requirement
for game-qb.exe is now 552kb [Ralph Versteegen]
* Bug Fixes
* Fixed a few bugs in inputstring, including backspace not working,
missing length checking and ESC popping up the menu [Yuriy, Ralph]
* Fixed bug 163, a random crash in the music import screen. [Simon, Mike]
* Bug 176: "Some files appear as subdirectories in Windows browsers"
[Ralph Versteegen]
* Fixed an ancient bug in both the Sprite editor and the MapTile editor
which caused the keyboard control to lag whenever the mouse cursor
was over the drawing area. [James Paige]
* Bug where filling in colour 15 (white) on edge of a tile filled in all
colour 15 pixels on the edge. [Ralph Versteegen]
* Bug 179: "Use of two keyispressed conditions in an if statement causes
massive weirdness" - "keyispressed" command has been changed so that it
now only returns a bool. It may help to recompile your scripts. If you
want the old behaviour, use the new "keyval" command [Ralph]
* "NPC X","NPC Y" and "NPC at spot" behaviour has been corrected: an
NPC's position is now the tile its top left corner stands on [Ralph]
* Bug 43: "OHR randomly locks up on the hour" [Ralph]
* Fixed a bug in "alter NPC" and "set NPC speed" that caused the
wrong NPC to be changed if used with an NPC reference [James Paige]
* Bug 174: "Quick keypresses and mouse clicks lost in FB port" [Ralph]
* Fixed a bug in "read NPC" and another bug which were causing script
interpreter errors like "clean noop" [Ralph Versteegen]
* Fixed script interpreter to return "1" for true in comparison operators
instead of -1 (for consistancy elsewhere) [Mike]
* New Plotscripting Commands
* "keyval"
* An existing command we forgot to mention in whatsnew: "string compare" |
This version aims to sort out the majority of the issues remaining with the FB port. For new features, you will have to watch Ubersetzung

In DOS, I don't. You can only have a maximum of 640k regular DOS memory, and some of that is used up by device drivers and stuff. I haven't been able to run DOS game for several versions. The memory restrictions are one of the reasons for dropping QB. |

Um, I hate to point out your ignorance, but... oh, who am I kidding? No I don't! Anyway, that's conventional memory, aka the first 640kb. And, unless your dos machine uses less than 80kb for itself, you're screwed.

Phil Arts, I suggest that you pick up a portable flash drive. They're a lot less cumbersome than floppy disks and hold a lot more data.
You can find them in just about any place that sells computer trinkets, and they're pretty cheap considering how helpful they are. |

There is a lot of optional stuff in the zip that can be thrown away, if you are floppy-bound. The first thing I would delete is GAME-QB.EXE and CUSTOMQB.EXE (Unless you are desperate to use the DOS version, in which case, delete game.exe and custom.exe) With the redundant executables removed, the zip will fit nicely on a floppy. |

I can make a floppy version again.
But yeah, you can pick up a 128MB USB drive for 20$ at most stores (try Target or Wal-mart). They are really handy, and you can use them on all 3 big OSes (OSX, Windows 98/2K/XP, Linux) |

Haw Haw! nice one James.
But yea, it kinda sucks that dos is out of the way now. But hey, windows is way better, and its going to have a LOT of features.
