Anyone finished gearhead?

Hi,

Gearhead 0.907 win/dos crashes for me evertime
i kill typhoon when entering the enemy fortress
(tried several times with 2 different chars).

I assume it could have to do with me ..ehm..
extending ... and compiling the game myself.
Unfortunately FPC debugger doesn't seem to
be of much use here.

Can someone assure that Typhoon can be killed
without crash with 0.907 win/dos with the
original binaries?

Well, I'm trying to finish it.

The bug you describe has just been fixed. It affects only the ASCII
version of the game, not the SDL version, and nobody in the dev group
has any good idea as to why. In both cases the values and datatypes
should be the same, yet one causes an arithmetic overflow error and the
other doesn't. I'll be making a new release very soon, possibly
tonight.

LOL, and probably you are as successful in your attempts as me trying to
finish DoomRL ;-D.

GearHead v0.908 has now been uploaded to
http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.org along with compiled SDL
versions for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.

But surely there is always debug mode?

But that doesn't count. If it would I would be the fastest person to
finish DoomRL:

Welcome to the Doom Rogue-Like...

Those are wizard keys (only when compiled with wizard mode)... but as
you ask... Yes . DoomRL *does* support macros, as do all games using
the Valkyrie engine do. ;-)

Thanks a lot, finishing the game now works.
Just an idea : Maybe the loot from the final battle (which
is quite a lot) could/should be excluded from the victory
char dump ...
