Don't leave reaper. Just because some people do not know what the word respect means. I wish you the best, no matter what your decision. Just remember the golden rule (everyone), do unto others as you would have done unto you.

BTW: I'm registered over on TheGatesOfBill's forums too...

MOD MODE: No offense to anyone here, but please let's not turn this thread into a "reaper thread" on any level. This is like our own personal "Hot Girls Thread"

I'd hate to have to start editing/deleting stuff in here to keep it on-topic enough.
This isn't against anybody, it's just to .... i guess.... you could say preserve the integrity of the thread. I mean OT (if you want to be public) or PMs are a good place to discuss reaper's plight.

So, uh, with that being said. As you were.

Ok, back on the topic of my surprise....
What do you guys suggest that I use for the font? I'm looking for a nice easy to read font, that is freely available, and is not part of windows. Any suggestions...

PS: Its now loading up ROMs but crashing before I get video....

by "not part of windows" do you mean doesn't come with windows? Because my favorite font is "Star Vader". It's free as far as I know and available on all the free font download sites...

Post by **BlueCrab** » Fri Feb 07, 2003 7:45 am

I'll look into that one... And I meant doesn't come with windows...

does anyone have an idea when KOS 1.2.0? is coming out and what it will entail?
do you have to use kos_init_all with KOS 1.1.9 or 1.2.0?
can anyone drop a little snippet of code for initializing?

that's all i have thanks.

oh i would look myself but my computer is acting up so that's why i asked.

thank you.

Ok, this is the third time that I've tried to reply, my computer froze up both of the other times

....

I'm pretty sure that the next version of KOS will be 1.1.10, and it probably won't happen for a little while (but I could be wrong)...

As for initialization, there is no more kos_init_all. If you are using pure KOS, all you really need to do is to init the PVR, the easiest way (and what kos_init_all used to do to the TA) is by calling

Code: Select all

pvr_init_defaults();

But if you are using SDL, the call you will need is

Code: Select all

SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);

(I think that is right, I can't check right now, since thats when my computer kept freezing....)
Good luck

PLEASE can some one post a step by step way of geting a midi file to play with the sdl mixer with dir structor and list what is needed plus the example ive looked and looked and cant get it to working on the dreamcast yet thanks.....

if you could release the one you did blue crab that would be cool sorry i cant find it on the SDL website

what about mp3 play back have you tryed to get that to work we need some better file formats midi and mp3 are needed for games !

reaper2k2 · Post by **reaper2k2** » Thu Feb 13, 2003 2:31 am

NO worrys ive got OGG working nicely so dont need midi or MP3 now

ogg sounds great and i can compress it greatly

so i can keep working now

I have kos1.18cvs and all of blue crabs mods to your port were not geting more the 1 channel sound if we try it makes a bad buzzing sound

any idea's bero

Post by **BlueCrab** » Fri Feb 14, 2003 2:45 pm

My version works with multiple channels, and no buzzing, unless I'm using SDL_mixer with OGG support, without OGG support, I don't get any buzzing.....
Strange indeed.....

reaper2k2 · Post by **reaper2k2** » Fri Feb 14, 2003 6:13 pm

mine is working with ogg support check trailblazer DC i released full ogg suport not buzzing as long as i use one channel mine will buzz with or with out ogg support if i use 2 channels

Well, on the subject of my surprise (a few people now know what it is), I'm putting it on hold for a bit.... When I was working on my game, if I'd just stop and let the code sit for a while, I would see the problem right off, I'm hoping that the same happens with my surprise. So, its back to porting my game to SDL...
