I am on Ubuntu Studio 11.04 (AMD64) and I have been unable to run Voxatron without a crash immediately on getting to the main menu selection screen, looks like some sort of ALSA bug, dunno what exactly:

Is there something I can do to turn off/disable sound, or some workaround to use something other than ALSA? I'm normally using Jack, with ALSA compatability set up .. normally works fine, but not in this case.[box=ffd030]

Hello everyone,
I am Unfortold from OnlineGamersGuide and I decided to start making videos showing off some of people's creations. I will try to post new videos as often as I can! if you want me to showcase a particular level just let me know through youtube or on here. I hope you all enjoy!

v0.1.6 is a quick patch to resolve some show-stopping problems with v0.1.5:
- It's possible to load .vob.png files into separate slots again
- Linux Users: the game now uses your system's version of SDL by default. This should resolve the missing sound & bad performance issues in 0.1.5. If you still have trouble with performance, trying setting "opengl_blit 1" in ~/.lexaloffle/Voxaton/config.txt
The main new features in v0.1.5 are the ability to add new character graphics to a level, and filter/favourite levels in the BBS LEVELS menu.
See the post for v0.1.5 for more details
There are already a couple of levels that show new character graphics. You need to update to the newest version to be able to see them (check your Humble games page).

In case you missed it, the Humble Voxatron Debut now has a total of 7 games. 3 of Lexaloffle's earlier titles have been added to the lineup, and 3 guest games: Blocks that Matter, Gish, and The Binding of Isaac. You can download them from your Humble games page, and as usual all updates are free, cross-platform, and DRM-free.
Jasper's Journeys is an adventure platformer I made with my brother Jumps (who did gfx & map design), and Dr. Petter (sound). We originally released it for DOS in 1997, and later reworked the whole game and released a Windows & Mac version in 2008. And it's still in active development! (More on that soon). Jasper is an old-school platformer that doesn't shy away from being challenging, and generally [i]videogames

Read title.
I used to play with WASD, Space, and the numerical keys to shoot wherever I pleased without having to spend time and space aiming with a mouse or manually by stopping to look. The latest update removed the bindings for diagonal shooting so this has really hurted me in particular, and I suspect other people who got used to that control scheme might have this problem as well.
I humbly ask for the diagonal shooting bindings to be implemented into the config screen.

I bought the Humble Bundle and would like to add it to my Voxatron account. How do I do this?

Version 0.1.5 is now available! The most interesting change in this version is that it's now possible to create your own character graphics for a particular level. Once you update, here's a level to try it out on:
(it's also in the BBS LEVELS menu)
I've just discovered that 0.1.5 breaks vob loading. So, if you need to load any vobs in the editor, you might want to wait approximately 6 hours for v0.1.6, which is a quick patch to fix this. So much for my fail-safe testing procedure. [~ _ ~] ROBOT DISAPPROVES.
In the meantime, you could try drawing over the fox in this level (vob number 6). Or there are some notes near the end of vox.txt on how to set up a character from scratch.

What if as your next project you turned Voxatron into a MMO style game?
-
F2P mmo with a Cosmetic cash shop (maybe browser based for convenience and accessability)
-
random generated dungeons with several tiered explorable lands, killing bosses doing small quests etc.
-
lots of super cool loot and gear
- Bartering only trade system (no money)
Your beautiful 3d voxel graphics similar minecraft and 3d dot game heroes..with epic coop/pvp multiplayer gameplay would be a huge success imo.
You'd not only make lots of gamers happy bringing a game like this into the market but surely you'd make $$$$$
gogo make it happen..
OR am i just dreaming?

It has occured to me that I can't find out how to use my code from the humble bundle, I can't find a place to put in the code to get the game and i feel i may have wasted money.help!

For the first week of Voxatron's release, Lexaloffle has been basically in information processing mode. Not only processing incoming bug reports and feature requests (which I do appreciate, by the way!) but also revising the systems for processing and processing the results of this process. The whole thing is one step away from a giant cluster-fuck, I'm telling you.
But one thing I've just updated which I think will clearly provide a bit of relief is to divide the Voxatron forum into sections, including a support/bug reports forum. I'll get around to actually tackling more of these soon, but at least perhaps people having similar issues can now find each other.
It also provides a mechanism for organising the levels that are being posted. There are now 3 sections just for levels, each with a very distinct function.
Finished Levels: This is for posting levels that are polished, completeable, and unlikely to be updated. (or not until a major version update in the case of WIPs).

when I accidently clicked save to instead of load. So I overwrote my map with the custom plain green start map.
Anychance to recover it?

Hi Everyone!
Just a quick little note to make sure your level is linked to the BBS as I see many blank posts with no link at the top.
MAKE SURE! that when you have uploaded your level and you are posting it you LEAVE the code eg. [#1934] at the top of your page. OTHERWISE your level will not appear on the BBS and people will not be able to access it.
I hope I have helped as I encountered this as well.

OK, we have a Lava Base, but why not add a Water Base? :D Im doing a Long Adventure Map and Im wanting to add Water Base with a bridge and etc. Im planning to add the Lava Base in the end, right before the Last Levels.

There are more and more "Test", "Just a test", etc. levels. Why are you even posting them when its just testing?
All the test levels show up in the game and as long as we can't search/filter the bbs list it would be great if you would stop posting test levels.

.. or, if there already is support for iControlpad/bluetooth dualstick gamepads, please excuse me for not knowing how to set it up ..
