Rating:</em> <font color="#ffff80" size="-1">(not yet rated)</font> <p> <em>Description:</em> A 2d role-playing game engine similar to that used by Ultima 6. <p> <em>Changelog:</em> <ul> <li> The game and editor are now frame-locked and will not run at insane speeds on very fast machines when the map is nearly empty. <li> Works in DOS again (and shouldn't crash randomly on shutdown anymore ;) <li>Censorware engine doesn't censor innocent words like 'scrap' anymore <li>Vastly improved handling of large, rectangular objects by the pathfinder. This makes it possible for the dragon to move around the castle (no, this isn't in the released demo) <li>Various esoteric fixes, and a few new special effect types <li>Editor now uses a pick-list for editing statistics. Not as pretty but very much easier to maintain. <li>Editor now saves User1 and User2 values (oops) <li>Game now saves global variables in the savegame. However it should still be compatible with savegames from the previous release. <li>Built with Allegro 4.0.3 <li>Lots of miscellaneous bugfixes (and it compiles cleanly with -Wall) <li>Simplified the way config files are handled, but this is not backwards compatible. The Flat and Reign Of The Just have been repackaged for this new, simpler format. <li>Dropped support for .rar files, datafiles are always loaded directly from a directory now. <li>A few fixes to The Flat </ul> IRE - The IT-HE RPG Engine 0.90 updated IRE - The IT-HE RPG Engine
