Hello,
Voila version 0.03 of StarLite.
On the agenda:
-- StarLite is now using 3D Sprites, which allows to see 1024 in total.
-- The wireless Ad-Hoc mode is now functional. It is a saying that you can play with 2 DS in the same piece, one against the other!

Here's how to follow in order to play a new version:
-- Copy the file StarLite.nds on 2 DS. (So far, everything is normal)
-- On the DS numero 1, copy at the root of your memory card file "equipe.txt" with the content as simple character "1" (without a return line, no spaces)
-- DS on the number 2, copy the same file, still has its roots, but this time containing the only character "2".
This file helps to inform the DS that you are the player 1 or 2 player!
-- Run Starlite, and wait for the 2 games is launched on 2 DS. You can now begin to play.


Why this file "team"? In fact, we have not had time to create a menu to select its colour and number team. And this menu will permit synchronize the start, which is not the case here ...
But all that will come in the next version.

In conclusion, you can see for yourself that this is indeed the beginning of WiFi mode, but it works! (Plant it again from time to time, but it takes care)

Known Bugs:
-- Some of the crashes DS.
-- The death of a marine leaves desired: If you kill a marine enemy is your Promis who dies, we will correct it tonight!

Most of my effort has focussed on UI related issues with this release. My vision for the Action Bar is now realized. You can populate it with your own choice of actions or spells.

Akoi Meexx has been working extremely hard at a total-conversion tileset for POWDER which I'm proud to now make the default tileset!

I've moved my primary playing platform to the DS. I'm extremely happy with the current stylus interface. I have not had to use the buttons at all. This is fortunate as in the winter one can use the stylus with gloves, but I've had issues trying to use the buttons.

* The PPC Mac and Linux versions will no longer have psychedelic colours, but instead look normal. (Ben Hjelt)
* [Mac] The Mac port now uses a .dmg making installation a snap! Note your .txt and .sav files will be saved to whatever directory you put the POWDER program into.
* [SDL] The window icon was accidentally half brightness - it is now in its full glory.
* There is now an action bar along the top of the screen as well. Further, you can reassign action bar entries when in the verb screen. Merely drag and drop to until the bar matches your dream layout!
* There is now actionbars on the left and right of the screen. It is recommended you don't use the top few of these as they will obscure your text output.
* Your action bar settings are saved across sessions. If you mess things up, the Options menu has a Defaults entry that will revert them to the defaults.
* From the Zap menu you can drag and drop spells to the action bar. This lets you cast specific spells with a single click.
* On reading a spell or skill book, you will be given the full text of the spell or skill you are trying to learn. You will then have to confirm your selection. This requires two extra button pushes, but I hope such learning is rare and this helps people discover the spell text as [Select] is a tad bit obscure.
* The background for the inventory screen has been changed into a series of boxes rather than the odd C symbol. This is also done on the layer beneath the items.
* When you possess another creature and equip items, your original body will no longer mirror your new weapon choices.
* Renaming yourself will change your actual name (the one for the win screen and character dump) rather than just your body's name. (Grothias)
* Linux port is now statically linked against libstdc++, so those of you who don't have old libraries installed should be able to run it. (Martin Read, John Overmars)
* The final inventory screen will no longer go to full-examine when you click on an item. Instead, it acts like the normal inventory where it does the short description on click and changes the item bar to reflect whether you can view the item. Similarly, the only way to quit it is to now press the inventory button again. (Or , of course) (Honourable mention to Richard Quirk who submitted a patch for this after I had already coded it)
* Possess now takes Diagnose as a prerequisite.
* The haunted island and other similar rooms that have monsters have been double checked to ensure they don't allow stairs. (Martin Read)
* [DS] Richard Quirk finished the earlier fix to support r21 of devkitPro. It turns out my refusal to use short-enums was the source of the incompatibility.
* Requesting info ('i' or [Select]) on the cancel option of a spell book reading menu will no longer crash. (Ciaran Walsh)
* You can drag items around your inventory screen to reorder them. You can drag into your equip slots to put them on or drag off equipped slots to remove them. (Richard Quirk)
* it's to its correction in cockatrice description. (Richard Quirk)
* Eating items now grants ten times the foodvalue, bringing them more in line with eating corpses. (Brendan, Michal Bielinski)
* One new map.
* Brand new tileset - the Akoi Meexx tileset. This is a total conversion which has been made the new default tileset. Never fear, if you want the naked pink guy, you can change to the Classic tileset.

Version 1.5, 1/16/2007

I've combined IchigoKurosaki's graphic theme and Joost's 'more screen space' mod, along with my own tweaks, into a much cleaner looking interface.

I also fixed the 'Now Playing' and 'Stop' buttons in place so you can always see them.

BTW, if you want to upgrade, but don't want to lose your personal settings from earlier versions, just delete the 'radio\personalize' folder from this when you unzip it (before you copy it onto your memory stick).
