Slime Salad

Okay...
... I can make time. Please allow three working days for processing.

I was imagining that if there was a tiny enemy right in front of a large one, the large one would not be considered as the "front row" -- that's what those words suggest to me! (Basically that larger enemies maybe provide more cover, but don't require more.) With different wording you get ...

Oh yes adding an option to export the contents of the menu to a text or csv file is a good suggestion. I was considering a way to preview in the foemap editor how many battles would trigger as you walk between two points. But pathfinding for that seems pretty overboard. Straight-line distance measur...

You may have noticed the Stats section at the bottom of the General Game Settings menu. I'm planning to move that to its own submenu and show a lot more information, like the numbers of maps/textboxes/scripts/attacks/NPC definitions/NPC instances/etc. I could show textbox word count. More interestin...

But how much of an overlap should be allowed? There will be a lot of ambiguous situations, and I need to make sure I don't over-engineer a solution; giving the user a single crude knob and a preview of the results is a good compromise. Actually I do want to allow custom target classes defined by eit...

I was making good progress on fixing bugs for Fufluns, until I hit another distraction bump (after hearing Fenrir talk about all the number crunching he's doing for rebalancing Vikings of Midgard!) In nightlies you will find two new info-packed menus: the Enemy Usage menu in the enemy editor and the...

Hmm! A 'front row' target class would be a lot of fun! That's a cool suggestion. However there are a lot of questions about how it should determine the front row. Potentially which slots are in front of which other slots even be defined in the formation editor... but that's too much complexity. Hmm,...

Ah, I'll add the NPC direction and frame number to the NPC debug info, that would have helped (if you'd noticed).

And gosh that overlay looks messy due to the fuzzy rect. I'm doing something about that too...

Yes, that looks fun. Trying pressing Pause to pause the game then use the F6 NPC debugger and Ctrl-F4 slice debugger to inspect those NPCs to see whether you can spot what's wrong. NPC sprites should all have the same palette as the npc definition, unless you've manually changed the sprite slice pal...

Congratulations to the victorious!

Anything to make it easier to get up to speed is a good thing. I'm very glad that we now have a few default walkabouts. Creating a folder for a game is quite reasonable. Although there would initially only be two files in it: the .rpg and .hss, you're right to point out that a lot of other files wil...

Because the gamelist is broken, here are working direct download links to the games, which I inexplicably possess.

I can't download anything from the gamelist. Old files, newly uploaded files, nothing works. Downloading attachments to PMs also doesn't work. download.php returns HTTP error 500 Internal Server Error.

Oh, I'm not complaining about that, it's reasonable behaviour. I was just stating that in reply to James, who asked something related.
