Nice to see it came to an end! ^_^ It's inspiring to see that voice dubbing was used, perhaps I will do that for my next production. The extra minigame was fun too.

It takes a LONG time to do voice dubbing. You have to basically make each text box it's own few lines of code, since you can't play/stop sound effects through text boxes.
I think the lines I used were
play sound (X)
show text box (X)
wait for text box
stop sound (X)
and I had to do that for like a few hundred text boxes. Hince why it took a while to finish this thing. But thanks for the nice feedback.

This would be a great engine update HINT HINT

even if not for voice overs it would be great for different text-typing in noises. so bad people could have a lower, growly 'bpbpbpbp' as the words came in.

Red, you really should've made a separate script to do that:
You would've saved yourself a lot of lines.
Mega Tact v1.1
Super Penguin Chef
Wizard Blocks
Code:
script, noisy textbox, text, sfx, begin
play sound(sfx)
show text box(text)
wait for text box
stop sound(sfx)
end
play sound(sfx)
show text box(text)
wait for text box
stop sound(sfx)
end
You would've saved yourself a lot of lines.

Misteroo once remarked to me that if the engine did support individual text boxes having their own sound effects for dubbing, that he'd go back and easily add sound effects to Arfenhouse 3...
To friends long gone, and those I've yet to meet - thank you.

That is both scary and exciting. An update to Arfenhouse?!

Done. It is in the current nightly. Sorry for not doing this *before* you went to all that trouble, RMZ.

While we've got your attention....
What about locking heroes in the party? That is something I'm eagerly looking forward to that would be crucial to my next game's design.

If this is what you're looking for, it's been around since forever.

I meant locking them so they can't be moved around in the formation by the player. We had expressed this for a while.
Like in most RPGs, where you can adjust the rest of the party, but the main character is always the 1st one in the party.

Easiest way for now is just to remove the Order command from the main menu.

I am very reluctant to have two different kinds of locking. I think party-group-locking and party-slot-locking make for a confusing pair... But what if I made a global bitset like "locked heroes can't be re-ordered"?
...actually that isn't much less confusing, but it would at least be a lot easier to implement ;)
