April 20 2025 build

This is an official build of Skyscraper, made by eventhorizon. It contains only the files in SVN, and can be safely downloaded to your computer.

This article describes a development build of Skyscraper Simulator. It contains good information related to Skyscraper Simulator.

This build fixes a serious issue with the wall selection (mouseclick) feature, previously the detection code would quit prematurely preventing the correct wall from being selected. This build also introduces support for the FreeBSD operating system, Skyscraper now runs on it but lacks sound support, due to FMOD not being available for that platform. Due to this, sound support is now optional in the simulator. I've built the Mac version again, and I'll upgrade Ogre and the other libraries for it soon.

Changelog:

1. Fixed an issue involving clicking objects, where wall detection would usually fail due to the scanning function exiting during checks instead of continuing
2. Only use malloc_trim on Linux, not other platforms such as FreeBSD
3. Make sound support (FMOD) optional
4. Detect FreeBSD on startup
5. Due to build issues, don't build joystick support on FreeBSD
