• The tarkuss bug may still be shrouded in mystery, reasoning as follows, according to vecna, "VERGE's virtual screen is 352x232 in size, that's why it's drawing routines do no clipping. The visible portion of the virtual screen starts at 16,16. Drawing over the boundaries is not going to have an effect."
  "Now.. It's possible that this COULD cause problems, I (vecna) will have to examine my logic a bit tighter, but it is possible that if you're at the very bottom of the screen, then VERGE will try to draw the row beyond the bottom of the map, which will still not be a problem since the map memory is allocated more than enough for the map, BUT it's possible that if the tile index number is very high, then it might cause the engine to crash by trying to access memory too high to be VSP memory, BUT that's STILL unlikely because VERGE disables memory protection and reading that memory would not cause DJGPP to crash, PLUS it's probably not the problem because the Tarkuss bug does indeed happen before you reach the very bottom of the screen, and the number of conditions necessary to be met to cause a crash would make the Tarkuss bug much less common."

• Again, repost of 4-6-98, Pong's Airship script is available by emailing him.

4-28

• Ric has discovered what may be the cause for the Tarkuss bug (a bug which causes verge to crash when going too far south on the map)
  If you have the source code then you'll see that on or about line 187 of render.c, under the drawmap() function, there's this line:

if (ywin>((ysize*16)-200)) ywin=((ysize*16)-200);

To fix the bug change the 200's to 208:

if (ywin>((ysize*16)-208)) ywin=((ysize*16)-208);

Don't forget to recompile. Way to go, Ric. Hopefully, future versions will have worked around this bug.
