Fixing Walls not showing with Windows Vista

Post by serina » Sat 15.09.2007, 19:01

This fix will make the granite walls and magma/quartz-veins to show using the Mang-client 0.7.2 in Windows Vista Basic (unsure about the other Vista-versions, but I believe it will work for those as well). All the walls will be shown in the color grey, possibly permanent rock as well, I'm not 100% sure.
The garbled/misplacesed text that appear in both WinXP and Vista have also been fixed in the lines below.
(as explained by another post here http://www.mangband.org/cgi-bin/yabb/Ya ... 1132933829  )

---------------------------------------
Here's what to do:

Edit and replace the line(s) in \lib\user\font-win.prf with the following values. (Delete all the text in the file. Then copy and paste the following text into the file)


# File: font-win.prf

#
# This file is used by Angband (when it was compiled using "main-win.c")
# to specify simple attr/char remappings using a standard font, allowing
# the use of special pseudo-graphic pictures for walls and such.
#
# Note that this file is extremely similar to the "font-ibm.prf" file,
# but it uses different codes, since it uses the special pseudo-graphic
# symbols defined in the "lib/xtra/font/*.FON" files, and there is only
# one special wall type, so we have to use special "colors".
