The scripts aren't included with Final Dragon Legacy. Maybe you meant one of your collab games? I'll be happy to look at your scripts (and I'll extend the offer to anyone else) and try to provide some suggestions to you point me at them. In the meantime I extracted the scripts from FDL and took a lo...

(Talking in general about learning new programming languages): Trial and error is a great way to test your understanding, as Sheam perfectly put it. Take a piece of example code, modify it, and confirm it does what you expect; exactly what I do when learning new language: you must test yourself, and...

Gasp! Europa Universalis III, now there's a nice prize: a game I've always wanted but was too cheap to buy. Unfortunately I can't say that I've ever had an idea for a Christmas game or any interest in making one. And I feel like I should be working on other stuff... Edit: still not clear on the them...

He said that over half of the programmers at their company are HR and admin employees who have been hired internally and just have to pass a series of programming, logic and ethics tests. Haha, maybe the company has trouble finding programmers because the qualified programmers quit when they figure...

Hiho, welcome back! I thought you were exaggerating in saying you hadn't posted in years, but I see it's true. I thought your post was a bit ambiguous. You lament the idea of never finishing Final Dragon Legacy but you talk about starting on a new game with a team. Do you still want to finish it? If...

There aren't any interesting messages in that log. When you compile a script a second window pops up, an xterm, to run hspeak. Do you see such a window pop up? Does it pop up and then disappear immediately? Since you didn't post any screenshot of it I assume that you're not aware that it should appe...

Ah! I didn't notice the hamster strapped to that knife! Powerstick? Was there a lightsaber weapon in PSM also called 'Powerstick' that I've forgotten about? Or is that a major artistic liberty? I played My Little Gahn a few times and I still have no memory of "The Sphinx's Riddle"... time ...

Yes, it is. To me it looks as if you've included a bokeh effect/depth of field too, or maybe the whole background is meant to look a little out of focus? I only recognised a couple of those weapons. The crescent staff is from Vikings. Isn't the widest sword from TSSE? And I see one which seems to in...

Well... that's really bizarre.

What doesn't work? The scons installer still doesn't work? Regardless of which of the two python installations you select? (Though if they're both installed in the same place then it shouldn't matter)

Either portrait or landscape mode might offer a practical aspect ratio on a tablet if our dynamic resolution support is good enough (it still needs heap of work), but wouldn't the keyboard be a bit small in portrait mode? Another problem that the SDL 1.2 Android port pretty heavily abstracts awa the...

It's something that we never got around to, aside from reading attack name and description. The upshot of the fact that we never added any is that it's still easy to make changes to the data format. For example we could replace Blunt/Sharp/etc damage types with a more flexible ATK*X% - DEF*Y% formul...

It's strange that python 2.7 is missing from the registry, but you should be able to repair that by installing it overtop the existing installation at c:\Python27. To install scons from the zip file you need to run "setup.py install" (or "python setup.py install). You forgot the "...

You don't need a single line of scripting to achieve this, actually. Both NPCs and battle formation sets can be disabled based on tags, and tags can be toggled with menu options.

The main problem will be balancing so that either option results in a similar number of battles.

While Custom can be easily compiled for Android to produce an .apk (and I could upload it for you if you want to try), we've put zero work into making it usable. Actually I've probably never even tried running it. At the minimum, you need a full keyboard attached to your cellphone (using e.g. blueto...

I expected that running "python setup.py install" using setup.py from the scons zip file would install it in the normal location for packages for that copy of python. Could you repeat the installation of scons as above from the zip file (python setup.py install), but this time take a scree...
