[Request] Dink Smallwood
 

As Dink Smallwood is open source (or so I think) shouldn't it be portable for n900?
It has already been ported on pandora so I assume that it would not be that hard to port on n900

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

when did this thing pop up?

yes perfect port candidate for n900..... thanks

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

So did someone started porting this game? :D Its already ported to PSP, OpenPandora and other handheld devices.

Also there is FreeDink engine:

Cheers!

oh man i remember this game. i always got to 1 section in the game and never knew what to do next, so i went around killing everything. wonder how it would look on n900.

Compiles without problems. Sound and music work. Mouse is buggy as hell though.

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

Got the keyboard working, so the game is playable. CTRL to fight, Shift for magic. Interacting with people/environment - space.
Mouse is still jumping around, use arrows. Extract into directory created by extracting freedink-data (ext2/3).
Might need sdl ttf library. Used freedink-1.08.20101114.tar.gz with freedink-data-1.08.20100103.tar.gz

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

Changed two keys: i - inventory instead of Enter that didn't work, q - options instead of ESC.

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

Does it really depend on using SHIFT?

EDIT: sorry, that was for a different game. Too many tabs open...

btw: there's a newer data package out there?

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

If you follow the above link there seems to be newer data - freedink-data-1.08.20110723.tar.gz which should work as the engine is newest version. Tested it only on the previous version though.

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

That's what i found and why i asked. Because you stated "used", for me it implied there may have been a dependency on that particular data package version. Nevermind.

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

...seems to depend on libzzip-0.so.13, http://maemo.org/packages/ search turns up nothing?

EDIT: crap, who named it 'zziplib' instead of 'libzzip'? So much for naming conventions...

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

had to install libzlibrary, libzip1 and fontconfig, not sure if all are required to run. try with these

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

Thanks, only zziplib was missing here...

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

So touchscreen function in game is not working? Is there any way to fix that?

Re: [Request] Dink Smallwood
 

Is it needed? I can't remember that you need the mouse, cause i played it, what, like 8-10 years ago?

DFarc is needed for running/installing DMODs. This version does the unpacking, running not so much. Select your freedink directory as the additional mods dir in options (use enter once done, the ok/save button isn't visible even in portrait mode). Run from xterm with 'freedink -g dirname' once unpacked. The ubuntu armel dfarc takes only 200kb and seems to work, so you might want to use it instead. No idea why this is 2mb. Might require installing additional libraries.
Multi-volume tar.
