New release of TW-Light (0.5)
« on: October 16, 2018, 05:25:43 pm »
It is sad that we (TimeWarp developers) left TimeWarp in quite broken state before completely abandoning it. To fix this I have created new version of TW-Light (0.5).

Fixed a lot of crashes (melee, ships, menu, install problems with non ASCII windows user name)
Added almost all TimeWarp ships

You can enjoy:
1) Melee with multiple ships at the same time
2) Defender game where you have to protect starbase as long as you can
3) GOB game where you fly on huge map, slay enemies, upgrade your ship.

Windows installer:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/timewarp/files/TW-Light/tw-light-setup-0.5.exe/download
Sources:
https://github.com/Yurand/tw-light

Running game on Linux is possible but It is still not 64bit clean so you will see funny graphics

Wow, that's… unexpected!

I'll see how well it works in wine for Mac.

You need Allegro 4 to compile. Allegro 5 is completely different library with different API.

At least Ubuntu have "liballegro4-dev" package. Also you may require to install automake, autoconf and libtool

Managed to install allegro4, but I get this error when I try to compile:

Code:
/usr/include/allegro/alcompat.h:47:7: error: conflicting declaration of C function ‘fixed fdiv(fixed, fixed)’
       AL_ALIAS(fixed fdiv(fixed x, fixed y), fixdiv(x, y))

I managed to compile it now! Thank you!

It is however still a bit difficult to play it, since I can't read the text in the main menu.

Wow, I never expected to see another release of Timewarp. Lots of nostalgia for this project and all the novel ship designs. Would love to see some work done on netplay, maybe we could get some net melee going in the IRC or something!

Windows installer works fine on W7 by the way.

Yeah, there were some really creative ship designs. So many it was a bit overwhelming to sort through and figure out what was good for what.

I was unable to reproduce this text bug, you can try to rebuild everything:

make clean
./autogen.sh
make

Maybe remove local settings:

rm -rf ~/.tw-light

Anyway if you run 64bit system you will not be able to play comfortably since you will see dizzy objects.  Some code still assume that int length is 4 byte.

Network is quite difficult, I have never managed to play more then few seconds  without getting sync problems.
Anyway for next update I plan to add something that was called "Geomans Campaign". It is set of related missions with simple plot. I remember that it was fun but then it become unplayable due bugs.
Also fixing 64bit issues for running game in modern Linux is the next goal.
