Slime Salad

Ah! Can you try downloading a fresh nightly? That was was just three revisions before Jay checked in his latest fix to the gfx_directx backend, so your problem might already be solved.

Oops, I am sorry. That is not the whole version number. Can you run:

game.exe -?

That will give you the subversion revision number too.

Jay tried to reproduce this, but he couldn't. Can you provide some more information? What is your exact version number. What is your system like (version of windows, etc) Is there anything interesting/unusual about your keyboard? Have you tried a different backend? You don't have do download a diffe...

Yeah, that sounds like a gfx_directx bug. I told Jay about it.

Yep, mountains are hard! That is why the Troll mountain in Wandering Hamster looks so unmountainlike.

I really liked the mountain in Genesis. That was a mountain that FELT like a mountain.

I always like to keep my scripts all in one file, but I do often keep them somewhat organized within the file, grouping similar scripts together, and giving them (mostly) consistent names.

I want to encourage anybody who is working on enemy sprites to record Youtube videos of themselves working on sprites. I think it would be a fantastic learning tool for people to be able to watch sprites emerging pixel-by-pixel. it might also inspire us developers with ideas to improve the Sprite ed...

I am impressed by those. I can see the similarities to the sprites that inspired you, but that is not at all a bad thing. Those are not just sprite edits-- it looks like you placed every pixel yourself.

for anybody who hated the item target picker because it closed immediately when you used the last item in a stack...

try tonight's nightly build ;)

I was expecting the very last one to be someone dressed as Bob the Hamster, though... there's one last empty box there at the end, and it would finish the whole "character A dressed as character B, then character B dressed as character C, then character C dressed as character D, then..." ...

Only use one master palette. (256 color) Yes, the engine allows multiple master palettes to be imported, but that is only useful in scripted situations right now. Sorry that the built-in help doesn't make it clear that importing more than one master palette is a very advanced feature. You should onl...

Okay, I fixed my action.

Ehaism wasn't paying attention. I, James knew exactly what was happening. The mistake is all Ehaism's fault ;)

I'd like to point out 2 things before going ahead with my response to Ehaism's actions. 1st, the cliff is 25ft up. ( it says so on the bottom right ) How is Ehaism getting up there? 2nd, "smite" is an actual action in D&D, which you can't perform. I understand the context now, but you...

Ehaism was pleased by the satisfying crunch of the first thri-kreen he killed. The satisfying crunch was repeated when Vire killed the next thri-kreen-- Ehaims can only assume with some kind of magic wand-- (He wasn't looking in that direction at the right instant) Ehaism sees the other thri-kreen o...

Yes, there is a way to do this. If you want a sprite slice to go under map layer 2, you should get a handle for map layer 1 using the "lookup slice" command. Then you can attach your sprite slice to map layer 1 using the "set parent" command, and it will display underneath map la...
