probably loads of bugs - but a new game to the QL made in QL Quill 07!


Thanks for posting this. I appreciate the effort you've gone to. I downloaded the game and gave it a quick try on Q-emulator until I got trapped in the toilet with no way out. The one ...

Thanks to Markus, I have now tried v1.1.1 and there are no problems with the delete operation.

Hi, running QL2K.

When testing QLiberator, I can run phase 1 by typing e.g. liberate win1_test_bas and it correctly creates the work file.
If I type in liberate win1_test_bas, (comma to do both stages) or just "liberate" then I get file not found. Liberate does not seem to exist as a file in the ...

the online sQLux is still v1.0.6
the release is v1.1.1

No I haven't, Markus, it all looks a bit complicated. I prefer an oven-ready download :)


The online emulator does not have a real fs behind it. Ita more of a tech preview than ...

Hi there,

I noticed an issue, maybe it's just me, but if I try to delete a file that doesn't exist in sQLux (I'm using the emulator on the forum), then it just hangs up.

Delete with nothing behind it gets you "bad parameter".

Delete with anything other than a valid file name gives the hang ...

Just a little addendum...

I solved my problem with fill patterns by creating and saving tiny images, 4x4 pixels, with the various stipple patterns and they worked just fine without crashing the program. Glad I posted this in the newbie section.

Cheers,
Alan

Thanks for the suggestion Markus. Never knew about that one. Will definitely try it out…

Thanks for the replies!

I’ve seen your graphics Andrew, theyre fantastic, I don’t think I can aspire to those heights.

My current plan is to do outlines and fill in some areas with colours, using some of the stippled combinations. I have an ancient copy of PSP and it has done me fine up to now ...

Hi there,

What progs do you guys prefer for creating / editing Mode 4 pics? I’m primarily looking for something I can use on Windows or an emulator.

Multipaint sounds ideal apart from the fact it only does Mode 8. I have Eye-q on mdv which miraculously still works, but it is copy protected so I ...

Thanks for that info, Dilywn. I didn't know about that, and would certainly have tried it if I'd known about it.

My own 12-year old HP PC failed the test last week when I tried it, so I ordered a replacement and I'm setting it up today. At least it was just a refurb so it didn't break the bank, but ...
