Photopia doesn’t work properly anymore #54

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and unzip Photopia from
http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/glulx/photo201.zip
2. Launch 'gargoyle photo201.blb'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There are several issues:
1. The frames are not positioned correctly.
2. The intertitles are positioned correctly.
3. The text colours are not changed. E.g., wait two turns. The text should
turn red (the frame does), but it doesn’t.

This looks like a regression. According to the screenshot of Photopia at
http://ccxvii.net/gargoyle/screenshots.html everything used to work fine in
an earlier version of Gargoyle.

I’m using the latest Linux version, BTW.

Do you have a garglk.ini file somewhere?  /etc/garglk.ini or ~/.garglkrc?  If 
this
file is not present, games cannot change the default styles.

There are two minor regressions with the .ini file in place, but not as serious 
as
what you're describing.  The styling is wrong on the input line, but correct
elsewhere.  Also, thin gray borders appear between the frame sections.

I have now tested this again, using the latest SVN version of Gargoyle, and 
still
have all the same problems (there is a missing ‘not’ in item 2 in my list 
of issues
above, BTW).

I have also created a ~/.garglkrc file, with the same results (but if this file 
is
needed for games to work properly, shouldn’t it be created automatically?).

You indicate that you created a ~/.garglkrc file - was this just a blank file 
or did
you copy the stock garglk.ini from the SVN archive (in the garglk/ folder)?

At a minimum you need a line in there like this:
stylehint 1

... to enable colors and such.  But really the whole file should be used since 
it
contains sensible defaults for all interpreters.  It's not created automatically
because it's distributed with the sources and included with the various 
packages that
maintainers might create.

The apparent absence of styling on the input line is due to the larger 
dimensions of
the default window.  Adding these values to garglk.ini will make Photopia 
display
properly:

[ photo201.blb ]
cols          80
rows          24
wborderx      0
wbordery      0

I've gone ahead and committed this change; see r192.
