    Dear Mr Rune,
    I did try building from source. The compilation/link was fine but the copy resources failed because of missing .tcp files. I just removed all reference to these and it ran OK, but I assume it will cause issues somewhere.
    I was able to run and play 'return to ditch day' without seeing any problems, however this game is probably not very demanding. Can you suggest some games that are tricky to run but ought to run (i.e. not depending on features you haven't implemented)?
    Good luck with this project, it's looking nice so far.
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Pete,

    Thanks for trying XTads. (And for building it, also; I don't expect many people will do that.)

    Missing .tcp files:
    I'll look into that. Frankly, the ...-src.zip file contents haven't been tested on a Mac other than my main one. Some cruft or unnecessary files may have crept in.

    Demanding games:
    I've tested every T2 and T3 game that I can find in the IF Archive, but it's been a few months since I looked for new games there. If you could try games from late 2016 and 2017, you'd probably cover games I haven't. (By "tested" I mean started up, run a
    few typical commands, obvious meta-commands, help menus, etc.)
    A couple of games that I consider demanding would be 1893.gam (T2) and videobar.gam (T2). (The latter features an ASCII art animation. I think the crucial command is "put video tape in vcr" or some such.)

    Also check out the home page, https://xtadsetc.com

    (Rune's my first name btw - no Mr needed :-))

    Hello.

    I got the same results. It seems that a folder called "t2chartrans" is missing from the source zip file.

    The new executable zip fixes a bug: changing background colour of main output area didn't work.

    The new source zip fixes a problem with character set translation files (.tcp) that were missing, preventing a correct build.

    (The new zips have been submitted to the IF Archive, and will hopefully show up there in a few days.)

    XTads pre-beta 3 is finally out.

    I did try building from source. The compilation/link was fine but the copy resources failed because of missing .tcp files. I just removed all reference to these and it ran OK, but I assume it will cause issues somewhere.


    Hello.

    I got the same results. It seems that a folder called "t2chartrans" is missing from the source zip file.

    OK, new downloads available.

    Executable: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gfjvt7x9lrigdp5/XTads-prebeta-4.zip?dl=0

    Source: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tw92yhit7gviwdo/XTads-prebeta-4-src.zip?dl=0

    The new executable zip fixes a bug: changing background colour of main output area didn't work.

    The new source zip fixes a problem with character set translation files (.tcp) that were missing, preventing a correct build.

    (The new zips have been submitted to the IF Archive, and will hopefully show up there in a few days.)
