Hello, I'm getting a system error when running the game. 'The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer.'
From a quick google search, it looks to me like the exe wasn't built properly or something, but that makes no sense to me, because if that were the case, other people would've reported it by now. The 503 version works fine, so could this be the result of a recent commit?

Thanks for reporting it and welcome to the forum!

Actually I hadn't tried 504 yet. I just downloaded it and am getting the same error. I'm sure Warheck will have it patched quickly

I added a couple of linker options to my makefile and recompiled. Can you pick up the renewed build and let me know if it works?

EDIT: Oh and welcome Conan!

The new build works for me, at least.

Phew, I'm glad. There's nothing worse than releasing stuff not knowing that it doesn't run.

Couple of things, not necessarily specific to current release:
1) Apple came across a new exploit: challenging Huang into a fight while wearing an AoGH does not update current health to match the new maximum when equipment is removed. This leads to silly situations like 127 / 54 HP.
2) The top of the screen gets cut off on Win10, which means any prompts on the top of the screen are not shown i.e. y/n for quitting and saving, engraving etc. Image below is from .508, this also occurs on .507, .509 and .51. Latest working release is .506.

Thanks JoKe, that Windows 10 bug looks pretty bad. Probably coincides with the change to SDL2... will write up an issue on GitHub.
Meanwhile that AoGH exploit is outrageous - I wonder if it goes all the way back to the original IVAN release?

Ah, if I remember rightly that AoGH bug is an old one. Nobody ever bothered fixing it 'cus firstly, nobody wears AoGH, and secondly, it's only the number that doesn't update, the HP actually updates. All it does is lull you into a false sense of security before killing you.

I'm trying to compile v0.54 and get a bunch of error messages involving "SDL_Keycode" --- first is /sources/ivan-054/FeLib/Include/whandler.h:78:49: error: expected ',' or '...' before '(' token
static void SetFunctionKeyHandler(bool (*What)(SDL_Keycode)){ FunctionKeyHandler = What; }
SDL2 version is 2.0.9. What am I missing?

That's peculiar. It's hard to say. Maybe something has changed between SDL versions?

What system are you building on, and what compiler toolchain are you using? Are you using regular old cmake?

Dipping scrolls in fountains doesn't cover them with water. Dipping other items works fine.

A very homebrew Linux system. Toolchain, though, is: gcc 4.8.2, glibc 2.19, binutils 2.24. And I had first tried with SDL2-2.0.4; I upgraded after it didn't work with that one.

Ok, it seems to be finding SDL1's headers, e.g. <SDL.h> instead of SDL2's headers, e.g. <SDL2/SDL.h>. The line

  find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/#include "SDL/#include "SDL2\/SDL/' {} \;

made it work on my box (but would of course break it on any box where SDL2 is the default). Isn't this the sort of thing autotools/cmake/whatever are supposed to take care of?

Anyway, since it apparently can't compile against SDL1's headers, you might want to update INSTALL.txt to reflect that.

Ah I see. It seems that SDL1 has been silently deprecated during the course of development. Thanks for posting this on the forum

I'll go write a note in the INSTALL file now.

Do you mean the water doesn't show in the pictures? Did the flames still go out shortly after the burning scrolls were dipped?

No, they just don't get covered in water for some reason.

You can try

export SDL2DIR=/path/to/include/SDL2;/path/to/lib

(the colon is just a delimiter; the syntax highlight is so hallucinating)

Cartography help (m - f1) does not bring up the help box before moving or otherwise causing a screen update. The box gets stuck on screen afterwards too.

Inventory paging is unnecessarily greedy, sometimes ending up with empty pages especially when simply viewing inventory with "i".

Full inventory fits into drop screen, whereas inventory screen unnecessarily splits into two pages. Also note incorrect total number of pages.

Also, is the switch from healing liquid into healing potion intended? Makes messages like "there is healing potion on the floor" feel weird when referring to a puddle.

I also noted that and it's quite annoying. I usually press "d" now to check my inventory instead of "i" because of this.

Sometimes, lighting is remembered when you move away from a tile, resulting in an almost-completely-black spot in an explored part of map. Mostly seems to happen with walls.
