The Drunken Lizard Pub

someone mentionned Cadaver, the first time I've played Eschalon the graphics and mood reminded me of this game : http://www.retro-experience.co.uk/atarist/cadaver.html I found the gameplay of Cadaver quite frustrating (but game was nice anyway), and I prefer Eschalon, also for the quests and outdoor...

@farvardin:Have you tried setting your sound driver to SDL? Choose OpenAL as the sound driver, and create a .openalrc with

Code: Select all

(define devices '(sdl))

I get crackling sound if I choose alsa, but sdl is fine for me.

no it's the same. I'll try to investigate further about this..

I remember I got much problem with 3D game / openGL games before, when the CPU/GPU was computing too much my computer froze. But now I don't have such problem (new kernel, new nvidia driver...). Do you still have ssh access to your machine ? (if it's possible to check). Could you start the game with...

Dungeon Master was my favorite. I played it when I was 13-14 years old
Black Crypt is good too.

I hope if Basilisk make a first-view game like this, they won't make it 3D, real 3D can be quite boring now...

ok, thank you for your replies. I may test that, but last time I tried, it was very slow to destroy the whole barrel. I think the open ones will be enough

I didn't notice this eschalon.cfg file. But with openAL it's the same unfortunately. I've tried to play the sound files on vlc, the sound is perfect. Strange this problem occurs only after a while. The game performances are between 3 and 5 on my system.

I don't know if it's the best place to report about this, but I've still some issue with the sound. I thought it was corrected with the second beta, but in fact the sound is ok when we start the game, but after a while it begins to crack and saturate (the sound is already loud at the beginning witho...

hello, is it possible to open sealed barrels, or are they just for decoration ?
I've tried to break one, but I damaged my weapon doing this.

great, it's downloading right now !
I'm curious to know how many games you'll sell during this weekend !

really, when ultima underworld was out, I found it to be a great game and such, but now I'm sick of 3D games, they are everywhere. Some can be interesting, but what I enjoy in Eschalon is the pixel art graphics, the playability and the linux support.

on my computer, oblivion, titan quest, loki and such, with the lowest settings, are unplayable (and ugly) because they are so slow... (guild war is running smoothly on the other hand, with average to high settings). And Eschalon is running smoothly too, with no speed problem. My graphical card is nv...

I've posted a report about Eschalon on http://happypenguin.org/ yesterday or the day before... I hope they'll cover Eschalon just when it will be finally out! I'll buy the book I as soon as it will be out! What development tools have you used on this game ? Which language, and libraries (sdl and suc...

1024x768 is ok for me, but I think the user should have the choice of the resolution. The user interface could remain almost the same, just the window of the game could be wider. It wouldn't resize the tiles and such, just increase or decrease the playfield. Don't forget the Asus EEE and similar com...

it wasn't like that (and yes, I've tested that too...). The sound bug disappeared with the second beta version released today.

the first Linux Demo number 2 version was already working fine for me. The bug with sound was corrected.
