Compatibility List

[DCurrent]

I am testing modules that I have on hand and uploading as I get the chance if they prove compatible. Below is the list. If you have additions for this list, please test with whatever the latest version of OpenBOR available and be as specific as you can about any issues encountered:

Yellow = Minor bug, more of an annoyance or confined to graphics.
Orange = Adversely affects game mechanics, but module is still playable.
Red = Cannot play at all or virtually non functional.

• Art of Fighting - Beats of Rage Remix III: 3773 Win - OK
• Dragons of Rage: 3773 Win - OK
• Hyper Duel: 3773 Win - First stage loads and plays, but enemies do not spawn.
• Golden Axe Remake: 3773 Win - Forces high resolution mode; semi playable through first stage, but likely would have failed as location dependent scripts triggered in later areas.

Whats this for? Did something happened recently with the engine that made some mods unplayable ?

No, nothing specific like that. I just decided it would be a good idea to compile a list to see if fixes need to be made in modules or the engine.

This is the first time I heard about hyper duel.

Anyway, the script seems to have critical mistake (see cruser2.txt)

if(frame==0)
{
    .....


   if(frame==11)
   {
      killentity(self);
   }

}

So frame 11  code is never executed. Unless the entity is killed by offscreenkill, which might be different now, or maybe old engine will kill it if it doesn't have idle after spawned.


Anyway the frame 11 error is easy to fix if you know how to edit.

I just got an idea recently. For those mods that can't be fixed by modifying the engine, maybe we (or the mod maker if possible) can release a fix package. Basically, only .txt or .c files are involved, so the patch can be fairly small.

However, this can be considered 'modification' or 'hacking' of the original mod though its purpose is only for fixing, I'm not sure if the one who makes the patch needs to contact the original modder.

So, do we need a thread or download section for patches?
