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

• 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.
• Empty pixel in minimap's top left corner.
• 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.

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.

If you find some bugs that are not listed here, please add them.

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.
