We're releasing a new DROD:TSS 5.1.0.6512 full installer with a fix for a new blocking issue in the TSS hold. Plus a few bug fixes. Linux and Mac versions coming soon!

Can it be installed over 5.1.0.6501?

Best wishes,

I did that and haven't noticed any issues - world map still works if I load an endgame save, anyhow.

Is there a 5.1 patch, or is the only option to download the full install?

Where abouts? The patch on the downloads patch only has 5.0.1.6060.

Ugh. Yeah, we're a bit disorganized about where things go.

You can find the latest 5.1 patch... here?

DROD RPG 1.2.8 is up!

There are multiple improvements and fixes to the level editor, character scripting, game play/logic, and the UI/UX.

You can read the full list of changes on the forum here.

A big thanks to hyperme for implementing many of these improvements.

I have a Windows build published everywhere the game is currently available. Linux and Mac builds hopefully forthcoming (though I won't be the individual producing these.)

Thanks Mike Rimer for keeping the Mac and Linux builds of your games up to date.

Mac support these days requires 64-bit, notarized apps. Hope that doesn't overcomplicate things.

Sorry, it must be late. I'm not following what you're trying to say here. Is this sarcasm?

Not sarcasm at all. Just pointing out that the current MacOS 11 does not run DROD or DROD RPG at present, since this OS version requires 64-bit apps.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

While the problem is specific to macOS 11, all the Mac versions of DROD are 64-bit, so that's not the reason.

Ah, I apologize too for misunderstanding. Got it now.

Yes, we've been building a 64-bit binary on OS X since maybe GatEB. Can't recall exactly.

I think I was feeling a bit defensive too, because I feel bad that I'm unable to produce the Mac builds myself anymore, but that's nobody's issue but mine. I'm hoping Slimm Tom can help out with that. If I'm understanding correctly, he's able to build full OS X packages now off the current codebase.

Hello! Indeed, at some point in time I had the whole setup working, but my Mac has since updated to a new OS X version so I'm not sure whether the build still works now.

I have a few weeks off from work soon. I'm not sure what your timeline is for the release, Mike, but I can try to find the time then to help you publish a Mac version.

Thanks, I'd appreciate you looking into whether you can still build, and providing a new Mac build if so. Don't know whether building a version that's compatible with the old OS version is still on the table, but it seems having a build that works with the new version at lease should make a lot of people happy. You get to dictate the timeline, really.
