Let's Talk Resolution

Even though it's not really at the forefront of public knowledge, the OHR does have this experimental ability to set the game's resolution to sizes other than 320x200, or the blown up version of that, what we might call 640x400, even though it's really just a magnified version of 320x200. These cust...

You mean that the screen should properly padded and scaled so that it appears correctly in fullscreen? gfx_sdl tries to change the monitor resolution, which is rather annoying. I think gfx_directx actually handles it better, since it leaves the monitor resolution alone and pads and scales the image...

I guess this means we can pester you to finish needed features here instead of everywhere else? Cool! I like this thread. I do read the devlogs that show up in my mailbox, so I already know a lot about what's going on, but seeing a nice write-up with screenshots is way better. Plus, it's nice to see...

It's been a couple of months since my last update, so I wanted to share a brief progress report: Shops: First of all, I'm finished with graphic updates for the time being. I still have a few Layer 4 touches I want to make down the road (like including those air-conditioning units I had talked about ...

Real easy:

Code: Select all

script,Moonwalk,begin
walk hero (who,direction,distance)
set hero direction (who,opposite direction)
wait for hero (who)
end
Basically, just set the direction after you send the hero (or NPC) in motion.

Harlock posted something like this on the main forum not even a month ago. I haven't tested it myself, but it seems like the kind of thing you'll want. I actually hope to use it at some point, whenever I go back to working on my RPG. Seems pretty good, and something I could've used for my first unba...

Hey Giz, can I make a suggestion? How about coming up with a "choose your theme" selection that allows you to cycle through menu styles. Each selection would essentially open up a new menu "game" with the same links as the first. That would be really cool. That said, I just check...

Hit me up for a playtest whenever you need one, provided it isn't as long as Mr. Triangle's Adventure.

Easy Way to Find the Last Defined Object

Working on Entrepreneur: The Beginning tonight, and I was searching through the plotscript dictionary for a simple way to locate the last defined item (not from inventory, but from the game file) so that I can run a for/do loop that cycles through all items for various checks without having to conti...

No. It's on my To Be Finished Eventually list, but not until I can devote some real focus on it. It's one of those games I really want to think through before I continue, as it's meant to have a much different narrative drive than the other games I'm working on, and I don't want to develop myself in...

I like the idea of linking dev threads to the MEGA THREAD, but I can guarantee that I won't have anything ready for release (in complete form) by the end of this year. So, would it be possible to keep the MEGA THREAD open year round, and then kick off the contest annually near the end of each year s...

I kept my power during the hurricane, so I'm able to tackle the voting results today. Thanks to everyone who voted. If you're an alpha procrastinator, and you still want to vote, you need to do it before I email the results to the Wobbler. This means you're basically out of time. I'll post the resul...

Hey guys, I'm behind on compiling the votes, and I know some of you are behind on finishing your votes, so I'm going to wait until sometime between Friday and Sunday to put them all together, when I have more time. If you still have a few more games to play and vote on, play them now. For those of y...
