Title: ASCII uqm Post by: keevy on April 25, 2003, 07:40:41 pm Anyone know how to get uqm in ascii mode?? I've seen the screenshots and now i want to try it.
??? Title: Re: ASCII uqm Post by: Nic. on April 25, 2003, 08:17:04 pm It didn't work all that well for me, but then again I was trying to get it to not go into ASCII mode. :)
Short form, you need to be running some flavour of UNIX-like OS, and your SDL library needs to be built with support for aalib (http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/). Then you set an environment variable named SDL_VIDEODRIVER to the value 'aalib', and run the game from a text console. Violent action ensues. ;) Also, this post really belongs in the "Technical Issues" forum. Please be mindful of the distinction when posting in the future.

Code: _______ / % \ / ___ \ | o \ | You hear a sound reminiscent of a Thraddash stepping on a peanut. | | %* | o The Ur-Quan kicks a slave. | \___/ % | Fwiffo needs food badly! \ % => / You enter Lord 3's Treasure zoo! \_______/ Str: 16 Con:9 Dex: 14 Int: 13 Wis: 12 Cha:18 Crew: 48/101 Fuel: 62/110 Cargo: 310/2000 Title: Re: ASCII uqm Post by: Cyamarin on April 26, 2003, 02:08:00 am That's hilarious.

Title: Re: ASCII uqm Post by: guesst on April 27, 2003, 02:13:50 pm Where are these "screenshots" of an ascii mode UQM of which you speak.
And of this ur-Quan Nethackers of which both Death_999 and meep-eep have joked, please tell me that such is not a joke, but infact a playable game somewhere. Such would rock.

Too bad, Ur-Quan Nethack is a joke. But the screen shots of UQM running with aalib can be found at http://sc2.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html (actually, it's only one, and it's from pre 0.1, which used the 3DO title screen). But you can try running it yourself in aalib, as mentioned above. I personally had problems with keyboard input there though on some systems.
