You make the Source Code Updating seem easy, for some reason.

Stranded II General Open SourceAlright, thanks for the help. Hopefully the 'p_add' is found and taken care of.

Today I tried S2 in Wine (on Gnu/Linux) and it worked once again!
But I noticed an Issue with the Inventory Screen, where the Game gets really slow. It occurs in all menus, where icons are arranged in a grid. (like the editor ones)
After some hacking, I made it playable, commented out line 499 in interface.bb (DrawBlock gfx_if_itemback,236+x*45,63+y*45)(in S2 vanilla) and then the inventory wasn't laggy anymore. I came to the conclusion, that maybe all the gfx elements are drawn like every tick?
I can't read blitz very well and don't know for sure. Can anyone tell if that's the case and maybe if it happens with native directX too?
For now I commented all occurences of gfx_if_itemback out. When there are many items in an inventory, it's not working all too well still. But quirky Stranded II is much better than laggy Stranded II. And it's not looking bad too. :3

# Be sure to have your $WINEPREFIX set.
cd path/to/stranded2

# The $BLITZPATH has to be a Windows readable path.
# Adjust the drive letter as needed.
# 'winetricks orm=backbuffer' is OBSOLETE. Nowadays it has to stay 'orm=fbo' (default).
# If You get a MAV, You might need to do 'winetricks heapcheck'.
But, any issues i find i hope to fix, or at least try. Summing it up, i was wondering if i can increase the max FPS (if it's really a thing) to 60 using the games source code.
Sorry if this slightly too much of an old thread to be commenting on, i apologize for any trouble i may have caused.
