... Also, make sure each of their contents displays by separate scripts. By doing this, you can manipulate the location of them at any time and redisplay their contents with an easy 'run script by id(number)'. It might also help to assign that number to a global variable so you can call them by a n...

Strange... Could you send me a copy of your import file? I'll test it out myself and see if I can figure out the problem. You can mail it to Bob@HamsterRepublic.com

I didn't know that shortening a line was possible! I guess it isn't possible anyway, except you import a textbox with too long lines? Or does "cut short" mean erasing letters? Unfortunately, cutting a line short does erase letters. Here is an example box from my own game. The original box...

Hm, well, the Tag lines I've been referring to actually indicate which textbox is following next, as in if Tag 1 etc. I suppose reimporting the textboxes even with erased Tag-lines only replaces the text in the boxes? Correct. Anyway, there might be problems with the character limitations of the bo...

VampiDucki, question: Are your menus primarily scripted using slices, or using menus, or using a combination of both? Are there any particular difficulties that you have had to overcome to make your menus work? Any pitfalls to warn others who might be considering making their own fancy menus? Do you...

Slick!

If I erased that tag-line from every textbox, would it cause any problems with importing? I see you already worked around this, but I wanted to mention that any textbox data which is missing from the import file will make no changes to the textboxes, so it is indeed safe to delete Tag: lines from t...

Just out of curiosity, are the other authors I wrote pieces for considering using them in their games? Possibly. I don't plan on doing any major updates to Baconthulhu until after the new Save format is implemented, but when I do I will probably add the music to be played while talking to the bacon...

I second that. My Mom doesn't want to play games that can't be controlled by the mouse.

Have you played any of the Romancing SaGa games? I remember specifically RS3. In that game, each hero has a certain number of Life Points (usually 10, but some heroes had more or less) When the hero dies, they lose one life point. While they are dead they can still be targeted by enemies, and each h...

I love all the entries in this, but my vote goes Bob (yo Bob) where you wandering?

Loops utilizing 'writemapblock()' work wonders. That's all I'm saying. ;) Aha! So you would definitely benefit from global variable based map animation. My idea is that you could configure an animated tile to use a particular global variable as an offset from the starting tile. Then to control the ...

I can't tell for sure just by looking, but it seems like you used more frames of animation than the maptile animator allows. Did you use the built-in animation? Or did you animate that in some other way?

I really need to implement maptile animations keyed by global variables.

done and done.

I just fixed this one. If you could test it out in the nightly build, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reporting it!

What the hell? What's the complaint? If it's the use of their music, then, uh, 99% of Youtube videos can be taken down for the same reason. I get the feeling that the takedown notice came from some random company with an audio-recognition program, and not from the actual copyright holders of the vi...
