HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

Sharing Objects For Free

From now on *Ubuntu distros and Fedora 31 depend on a separate library better known as shared object SO on Linux. That reduced the executable's file size... just a little bit. It still runs fast so everything seems to be fine here. The new shared object is called libhiddenchest.so and it got to be installed in your distro's default library path. It contains pretty much all of the RGSS components plus every single addition I have been offering you from the very beginning.

The engine has reached the 1.1.46 milestone already by the way!

I am not sure whether or not it will be easy to do the same for Windows builds...

By the way, since the previous version you can call the following method to change your font shadow's appearance:

Code:

@sprite = Sprite.new
@sprite.bitmap = Bitmap.new(400, 28)
font = @sprite.bitmap.font
font.shadow = true
font.shadow_size = 1 # up to 8
font.shadow_mode = 0 # 1 or 2
@sprite.bitmap.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 24, "Sample text", 1)

Warning! You should not mix shadow and outline font effects!

Concerning the outline effect, in Fedora it can be translucent because of SDL2_ttf version 2.0.15 IIRC. I do not know why the Ubuntu team prefers to keep older packages...
