Build instructions and stuff.
Hi all,
I tried flare yesterday and came up with few issues/mistakes whatever.
a. First of all the README has a silly mistake.
it should be '$mkdir build' instead of 'make build' in the building instructions.
b. Dunno if it should say that or not but probably the next time you run make, you should run 'make clean' right ?
OR
would just doing an /build$ rm -rf * be more than enough ? No explanations about second times.
c. The settings.txt needs some more explanation. For e.g. in ~/.config/flare/settings.txt this is what I have got :-
$ cat settings.txt
fullscreen=0
resolution_w=720
resolution_h=480
music_volume=100
sound_volume=128
mouse_move=0
hwsurface=1
doublebuf=1
frames_per_sec=30
enable_joystick=1
joystick_device=0
language=en
Ok, I have no joystick. What I have is a mouse & a keyboard. So what should be the things. I did notice for e.g. 'L' is for log and things like that but that's about it. Dunno how to make conversations happen and if that is even possible or not atm.
a. Fixed the readme mistake, thanks!
b. Hm I'm not sure. I'll ask the guys who helped me set up the cmake files.
c. I'll at least create a wiki that explains the settings.txt file. I'd like to include inline comments on that file as well, I might have time to add that before the next release.
d. I don't have an instruction page on the controls. I haven't figured out a least-annoying way to do that. THe last major release had a tutorial NPC that explained the basics; I can move him to the new starting area.
