Also, there is almost never any good reason to use the "slice is valid" command. I need to update the docs to make it clear that command is only really there for debugging. I think I actually needed to use this command, ironically. I remembered you saying this and felt immediately like I ...

you could assign random(1,10) to a variable and use that.

THAT'S what the = means in all those scripts I've read through! I feel so enlightened.

Ah, well user-friendly, no. I actually do remember being pretty confused by it back when I first tried to use it, but there's a lot of control you have over the palette and changing the color index to import nicely into the OHR always works for me. Maybe that's just because I have a Mac though. I do...

Well, sadly I discovered a new problem with this whole idea, which is the wrapping of it. In the text boxes, it stores new paragraphs as well, so when you change the width of a box, even though it wraps at the new width, the paragraphs still occur at the same places in the sentence, creating early b...

I personally recommend Gimp, because it's a decent program and also it's really easy to optimize pictures for the OHR using it.

This one! I like this one. It's simple, it's to the point. Use it or not, it has a good starting point for drawing people, at least.[/list]

I'm not a great artist, but I know that I certainly have grown since I started using the OHR. One thing about pixel art is that there are fewer options with what you are given, but this actually turns out being a benefit for learning how to get better with it. With a 20x20 sprite, there really isn't...

Ok well I'm making some progress but I am still having issues with the text boxes formatting correctly. The positioning seems to work the way I've done it, but the width doesn't seem to want to change, and it's not clear why. Here's the game with the scripts along with it: http://www.slimesalad.com/...

I'm just putting this here for assistance with some bugs. You can download it and play to check out some of the pictures and menu functions, but other than that, there isn't much here. UPDATE June 14: Finished the core mechanics of clicking on stuff and whatnot. Now I just need to draw the rest of t...

Looks very nice.

Note that Kylekrack's talk of lookup codes is pretty focused on using the slice collection editor. You don't have to use the slice collection editor at all if you prefer creating slices directly with script commands like "load walkabout sprite". Yeah sorry about that. That's what I person...

Slices will make 0 sense until they make perfect sense. I know how you feel. Basically a handle is the name given to a slice that the computer can read. The handle has to be found by using something like 'lookup slice()' with which you can assign the handle of either a special slice (sl) or a custom...

I'm now officially a high school graduate! That means I can effectively dedicate all of my time to sitting at my computer all day, and you know what that means. I'll be able to get some work done! Everybody work hard and do the best that you can. I love you all.

I have to bring up your comments on straight ramps. Where that picture specifically clearly gets blobbed up and difficult to see, I think the palette does work in some ways. The torso looks... well, not the best, but I actually rather like the legs and the frontal abdomen that connects the human to ...
