Download & install

Latest update: 29.12.2012

Download here or here.

For those who are experiencing problems, here is the debug version. The debug version outputs more messages in the console and is quite a lot slower than the normal version. So download this one only if the game is crashing for you. Paste the output messages in this Mopolauta topic so we can find out better what's wrong. (If it's very long output, go to http://pastebin.com and just give link in that topic.) Note that this zip contains only the exe file, so you still need the datafiles folder from the elma2.zip file, if you don't have it already.

Unzip elma2.zip to your Elma/EOL directory.

Known bugs/issues

Currently unfixed bugs/issues

Replays cannot be saved/played.
Grass/pictures/textures are not shown in level.
Problems with Windows XP (random crashes while playing or the game doesn't start at all).
- Possibly some problem with LGR loading.
Resizing column headers all the way to the left makes them disappear.
Elma 2 crashes when opening an external level with high ASCII characters in filename.
Cursor is visible in-game when in full screen.
Flower is visible in Flag Tag mode.
Player doesn't re-spawn when dying to a killer in Flag Tag mode. If both players die, the game ends. (This bug is also in original Elma.)
Search box pops up accidentally too easily after a ride.
Option for Splitscreen/Full view (for multiplayer mode) is missing.
The screen flickers when moving the mouse around whilst in Player Options. (Can anyone else than Xiphias reproduce this?)

Bugs fixed for next version

High ASCII characters in player name go gibberish when saving.
Sorting internals by index behaves incorrectly.
Some user interface widgets disappear partially when clicking in their activation area.
Mouse wheel scrolling doesn't work well in Options->Players tab.
Strings in player options move a character to the left when scrolling. Happens only the first time.
When you hold down the zoom button, the zoom goes at first slow, then faster, then super fast (all in a second), and then zooms in/out at a constant speed. It is most visible when zooming out. It is as if the zoom pops after about 0.5-0.6 seconds and then it flows smoothly. This can also cause the screen to rotate 180 degrees.
Empty pixel in minimap's top left corner.

datafiles folder

The "datafiles" folder contains some files that are required for Elma 2 to work. The subfolders "looknfeel", "imagesets" and "schemes" contain descriptions about the look and feel of menus. Elma 2 uses the look and feel called "TaharezLook". So by editing the "TaharezLook.*" files, it is possible to customize the look and feel of Elma 2.
