Re: Open Vore Rogue Like R4a
I know this isn't exactly a new problem and this question has probably been asked before, but when I click the Run.bat, nothing happens. The Command window comes up for less than 3 seconds. Is there something I am missing?

Try starting the game with OVAL.jar, the game doesn't start when I use the run.bat either.

i ran into a similar problem with the Vgame. i solved it by simply editing the .bat file with notepad and putting "start" in front of the launching code. some times that works some times it doesn't, i think the difference is the version of java but idk really

Re: Open Vore Rogue Like R4a
Anyone knows if darkevilme will return to this project?
He left the source files, so does anyone has any pointers where to start digging in and continuing his work? Like, which programs do I need to start programming?

I've been poking around with the source code for a few days, and am in the process of using it as a basis for my own project (No idea if I'll release: I'm just messing around with it for now, after an attempt to create a similar project from C# largely blew up in my face). I've been using the Eclipse IDE to work with everything, but I suspect that NetBeans or most other JAVA development tools would work, too.

Regarding returning to this project. Leaning no on the basis that Bitter's tales of the mystic wild is coming. And I'll reiterate that what little I've seen of it means I can't realistically compete(seriously, it's looking incredibly awesome). But on the flipside maybe there's room enough, I haven't seen ToMW use the lexicon system to deluge the players in smut texts as of yet after all.
So while we're leaning no, and we really should get cracking on white night, we might return to OVRL if we had a clear idea of what we wanted to do as the next update for it. OVRL started as a small project that ran in a week, hitting the barebones of what it needed to be called a roguelike. This means that I don't have a grand expansive vision like I had with Space Odyssey which I was incrementally working towards. And without a grand vision updates feel a little weird and it's harder to pick goals for them.
As for what tools to use if you wanted to make your own?
Game was made in Eclipse using java and a few other tools (slick2d for instance).

Re: Open Vore Rogue Like R4a
Soooo are these all the enemies or what? I ask because everyone seems to mention some monster or another I dont see in the game. If so how would one go about finding them? Thanks in advance.

From the looks of the error message it appears as though Slick can't find an Open GL accelerator. This generally means one of two things, either your video card doesn't support Open GL (unlikely unless it's ancient) or you need to upgrade your video drivers.

IIRC the microsoft built in driver doesn't come with open gl support, if that's the one you're using try getting the one from the card manufacturer. (AMD or Nvidia more than likely)

For the crashing on startup, run the batch file (run.bat) and post what it says.
What chibi-wolfy says is also true, the batch file does want java to be in your classpath, which sometimes it doesn't do when it is installed which would also cause it to crash out. I always forget about that.
If you don't mind me asking what card are you running?

Re: Open Vore Rogue Like R4a
Have you tried running the .jar directly? Yeah, I know the OP advises against it, but ironically it's the only way for me specifically to actually run it, and the .bat doesn't work for me at all.

I have tried both and it just crashes instantly.

When you get around to reporting the error message you might get some help with that.
