Hi !
I have a problem with 0.9.28 and older versions of the REDPILL GC.
When I try to start the program I only get a "grey screen" on the Amiga-Video out.
(no matter if 68k or 020 version!)
... so the program seems to crash or hang in anyway for me.

My System Specs:
A2000 with 68030 TurboCard (2MB Chip/128MB Fast)
AOS 3.2.2.1/KickRom 47.111
StartVolume: DH1:
(Matze graphiccard, ZorroLAN-IDE, FreeWay USB, BuddhaIDE and Prelude SoundCard are also mounted in my system)

[Samurai_Crow]

I suspect the graphics card driver is interfering. I suggest disabling P96 before you start the program to insure it runs in a planar screenmode.

[Zener]

Thanks for the heads up, I will try to replicate your config and see if there is any problem.

Indeed disabling P96 and/or starting without startup-sequence could help.

Thank You !
... I have also installed AOD3.2.2.1. previously on another partition (DH2)
without P96 drivers.
Booting from there and it worked !

Hi!
First of all, i want to thank all of you the support for this incredible game creating platform, and Zener for all the work that is doing to maintain and upgrade almost every day Redpill GM.

Also, i want to wish you a happy Xmas, new year and best incoming 2024!

The music added to the game was first the level, using a old tune from the nineties, and the intro/menu was also a test mod that i did from the music of master Bergersen, looping it the best way i can do. Was perfect for the purpose of the demo, but i will do my best creating more tunes for the game in near future ;-)

So think on this demo as that, only a demo that will be better in so much ways later!

Thank you again and cheers!

I think you need mathtrans.library. If that's not enough try adding diskfont.library as well.

Copy the content from the data folder from aladins archive in demo early folder of the game, it has everything there you don't need no generic slave. It works on a blank hdf directly
