Wow. I was cleaning up my OHRRPGCE folder (it was 10.7 GB) and found a bunch of .rpg files that people had sent me at least four years ago exhibiting various bugs. One of them was THEOMEGA.RPG, so remembering this thread I investigated. It was corrupt. So I created a utility for unlumping damaged fi...

I'm not sure I follow you. How would I do this? I meant that it could be added in the next version, not necessarily by you. Explain this in more detail. Even if the doors didn't fade, the screen still wouldn't scroll. What was your plan? You would have to place the doors away from the edges of the ...

Whoa, slow down. Lifting the 300 NPC limit won't be hard, just need to replace one simple file format with another. Could be less work than scripting an elaborate workaround like that (which is frequently the case. Wouldn't it be nice f users could implement their own features? :)

I am thinking a very useful purpose for a community Linux server(as mentioned in another thread), would be to have a persistent AndroOHR build environment That was the fall-back plan. I think it could be possible to provide all tools needed to create an .apk in a small download if I write a simple ...

Wow.

Is the delay completely gone after that? Since the temp folder is usually shared with other applications it's possible that it's scanning lots of other folders every time.

Oh whoops, Giz and I were wrong. I'm thinking of the mod command which has a different form when plotscr.hsd isn't included.

It's complaining that "stepcounter + 1" doesn't do anything. Yes, add two numbers together, and then what? The result of the addition is thrown away.

Yes, Giz is right. And trivia: if you don't include plotscr.hsd then you should instead write "add(a, b)"

If you have a lot of NPCs that need this then Giz's method could save you a lot of trouble. You don't even need to use bits unless you have tens of thousands of NPCs (there are 16384 global variables). The trickiest part may be getting a script to run just before leaving each map. Stepon NPCs surrou...

Re: Wow...

Cool. Too bad that review of MJDancing has disappeared :) I I also found an extremely old screenshot of The Omega on Operation:OHR. This was from a version that I uploaded when that site was still alive, though the game itself can no longer be found. Where did you find that screenshot? I couldn't fi...

Sort of the contrapositive of Sephy: my favourite bit is designing a game. My least favourite bit is creating/completing it.

As for the actual process of making a game, I'm with Willy. Building maps is fun.

If I need to type accented characters I change the keyboard layout to US International or Dutch. The regular US keyboard layout (plus rearrangements like Dvorak) must be the only one in the Western world that doesn't let you type accented Latin characters.

Wow, 1.2 is close to release you say? Buck can affect how well his rivals do by buying up their stocks (a strategy for preventing Chet in buying his) I think this is the most important part. Simulating all this stuff in the background isn't worth it if it doesn't affect the game, or at the very leas...

Well funnily enough SDL_mixer's function to pause the song didn't work last time we tried it. That's why we can't have nice things.
