Lately, my oldest pc has been playing Gladiator with darker colors than my other pc and I can't figure out why. The colors are so dark that it interfers with...
Ok, I have a new challenge for the map makers. This involves just making a map, not putting anything on it except for start positions and an exit. Here's the...
I have a particularly interesting challenge, though the programmers on this project don't have to do it. I am a computer programming student (possibly my...
I know this sounds convient, but lately I have been thinking about converting the source code into a Java applet. One of things I have been thinking about is...
I've used all of those, though my java is rusty as I only ever used it in school. C++ and C# I am using daily. I'm willing to answer what questions I can,...

... Not sure, but this might be a security thing; it could be that java applets can't ever write anything to the local machine, by design....

That's what I think it is. The only thing I haven't studied in detail is the use of threading, which I'm uncertain if the original gladiator program used...
I doubt it; they certainly would not be needed....

Another thing to point out what does OpenGlad end and OpenGlad-E begin. To me, there are a few issues that need to be fixed about the original code: 1)speed...
Since I mentioned it last week and before anybody tries to accuse of bluffing about working on a version of Gladiator written in Java, I will promise that is...
One question that I want to ask: what do you guys consider the smallest viewing screen you need to see to play gladiator? I was thinking if your character was...
Just so you guys know, I made a mistake with my math. 5 tiles above/below/left/right from the center tile amounts to 11 tiles by 11 tiles or 352 by 352...
I'm halfway through step 1 of phase 1 of Java Gladiator plan: http://home.windstream.net/melvinsh/gladiator/GladMapDraw1.htm displays 1st half of the graphics....
I ran into a small problem trying to work on the graphics, mainly figuring out how the animation works in the game. Plus I got to find a program to convert...
Hi everyone... Hopefully this isn't too obviously shameless self-promotion. But I wrote a post about Gladiator in my blog that might be interesting to some...
I solved that problem all ready :) I wrote a C utility that converts PIX files to targa (TGA) graphic files. You can use any graphics program to convert the...
There are a couple of issues I ran into. 1)I couldn't find the code in the code where it changes a character's color to match a specific team. That's a very...
1) Gladiator uses a 255 color palette so each color can be addressed as an individual byte. In the PIX files, the team color is defined as any color above...
Thanks. That solves a lot of my problems. ... as an individual byte. In the PIX files, the team color is defined as any color above color index 247 (colors...

Would you rather have a trained soldier by your side or a warrior? To bring on-topic, if logically, it would make sense if there was a promoted class for...
I think that would be a very appropriate upgrade. A soldier serves in an army, so one he is experienced enough, he could leave the army position to fight on...
Yesterday, I finished manually coding into the program the initial loading of all map tiles. I'm hoping to have something to show by the end of the week....
Hi, does anyone know the function of the file editor.exe that was included with the original version of gladiator? I assume it has something to do with...
Hello, just thought I'd ask for your input about special abilities on existing characters. As you may know, Gladiator originally intended to have six special...
