SAngband Error

Hello!

I just got a new computer, so I moved along the version of SAngband I've been playing (it's the most recent one) and tried to run it in fullscreen mode. Instead of actually running, it pulled up a black screen and hung, and it did this no matter what I did; I tried deleting the config file, and just starting over with a fresh install, but it won't do anything.

I'm thinking it may have something to do with my screen resolution, which is 1920 x 1200. Does SAngband not support monitors this size?

You do realize that you have not supplied enough information for anyone to answer you.

Don't you?

Little tidbits like, your operating system, and the version of whatever code you are running. Supplying these will go a long way to getting an answer back.

As I said, it is the most recent release of SAngband. I forget the number exactly but I just (re)downloaded it from their site so I'm sure it's the most recent.

I use Windows XP, exactly the same thing I used to run it under with no issues.

Just guessing, but it may be an SDL issue. You may need to install (guessing again) version 1.2 of SDL - I've never installed it for windows, so I'm not sure, but my blundering ignorance may annoy someone else into giving the right answer.

I tried to download it (from http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php ) but all I foudn was a dll, and I'm not entirely sure where to put this.

Sorry for the questions, if they're rather simple. I don't recall ever needing to install this before.

If it helps, I have SDL.dll, SDL_mixer.dll and smpeg.dll in the top level Sangband folder (along with the .exe and config.txt).

I redownloaded all of them and it still doesn't seem to work; I think it may have something to do with the full screen, as I can run (for instance) Hengband and base Angband.

Is there a way to turn off full screen without loading the program?

Addendum: It doesn't have a config file because I've never successfully opened it.

If you still have your old computer, you could fire up Sangband, generate a config file set to not full screen, and then copy that over. I don't know if the different screen size would still be a problem then.

You could also just resize your monitor, and see if that will let you generate a config.txt file.

In other news, there is a bug fix version available here:
http://middendorfproject.googlepages.com/sangband

There are no fixes that are relevant that I recall.
