icon DROD RPG Source Released (+1)  
The DROD RPG source has been released on the DROD site:

http://www.caravelgames.com/sourcecode.html

For private development purposes it is possible to copy the "Data" directory from either the demo or full version of DROD RPG and have a working copy with your own build. But remember, you cannot distribute the media. It is also wrong to reconstruct it using screenshots or other techniques, and that includes the media included in the free demo version. We didn't put any of it into the source code archive to prevent people from assuming it was distributable.

That doesn't mean making your own distributable version of DROD is impossible or even discouraged. For instance, you can make reference artwork and put it in the public domain. You can use public domain artwork to make a distributable game if you like.

I need to mention one caveat about the DROD RPG source archive I just uploaded. In its current state, it is a bit beyond the last official release (1.1.0.55). I have been fixing up some bugs, but haven't put out a new release with these fixes yet. If there are any problems with building the source, please let me know and we'll get it whipped into shape.

Tried to compile this today, so that I could actually have a look at how DROD RPG is doing some things. Was unable to compile since it seems that the source code is using newer versions of FrontEndLib and BackEndLib than are in the archive. As examples, it complains about CStretchyBuffer::GetUINTat not existing, CScreenManager::IsScreenInstanced being a protected rather than public procedure, and ClearEventBuffer() not being identified at all, among one or two other things.

The DROD RPG specific code seemed to compile fine though, but I won't know if it's really okay until I can get an executable running, which isn't happening with the currently distributed code.

Could I pretty please ask for the latest sources of the game?

Edit: On compilation I get the following errors:
1>.\Db.cpp(297) : error C2039: 'GetUINTat' : is not a member of 'CStretchyBuffer'
1>        h:\drod rpg\backendlib\StretchyBuffer.h(60) : see declaration of 'CStretchyBuffer'

1>.\DbSavedGameMoves.cpp(339) : error C2593: 'operator [' is ambiguous
1>        could be 'built-in C++ operator[(BYTE, UINT)'
1>        or 'built-in C++ operator[(BYTE, UINT)'
1>        while trying to match the argument list '(CStretchyBuffer, UINT)'

2>.\GameScreen.cpp(6330) : error C3861: 'ClearEventBuffer': identifier not found

2>.\Main.cpp(648) : error C2248: 'CScreenManager::IsScreenInstanced' : 
cannot access protected member declared in class 'CScreenManager'
2>        h:\drod rpg\frontendlib\ScreenManager.h(95) : see declaration of 'CScreenManager::IsScreenInstanced'
2>        h:\drod rpg\frontendlib\ScreenManager.h(64) : see declaration of 'CScreenManager'


And I hope the latest sources would fix them :).

I plan to publish version 1.2.7 officially soon (1.2.6, plus all the add-ons after it was released). At that point, I'll publish the latest source.
