I don't know, this seems a bit backwards. I mean, in my opinion, the general problem is unsolvable. Custom and Game have no way of knowing whether or not the save file or the rpg file should take precedence. Imagine the following scenario: NPC is in position A in custom NPC is moved to position B du...

Although I'm not so interested in this feature, I will make a comment: One problem that is introduced by making hand positions saved is that if you set hand positions, start a new game, and then change the hand positions in custom, any old save games will not get the new changes. I don't think this ...

Hahaha, do you know that I've complained about this to several of my friends, and even though they ALL say that tabs are better than windows, NONE of them have told me any of these things? ...that said, alt+tab is a little bit more comfortable on my laptop keyboard, and I never have more than 3 or 4...

to NewbiePower: yes, this seems to be what Pepsi Ranger essentially said. to TMC: Setting point sources (or NPC sources, as in your walking example) for sound seems like an amazing idea, and not overkill at all. Unless you mean overkill for the coding and/or runtime memory eating, which I guess migh...

I'm pretty sure the developers already think this way, but I'll say it anyway: I'm all for any updates anyone feels like AS LONG AS THE CURRENT KEYBOARD FUNCTIONALITY STILL EXISTS. Basically, the main reason I like the OHR is because I don't have to touch a mouse at all, and even if more mouse suppo...

Instead of killing the NPC and using backdrops, perhaps you could use alterNPC to change the NPC activation from touch to use?

Haha, it's funny that you mention Shakespeare, because I think he's overrated too. That said, he's such a craftsman, or perhaps just so knowledgeable about people, that he can sometimes still come across as real (King Lear, moments of Hamlet). And honestly, I'm not going to pretend that Dylan has li...

Okay, first let me say right away that I agree that Simon and Garfunkel do not sound as if they're not putting "effort" into their songs. At least, not to me. Paul Simon is clearly a musical craftsman, and a fairly skilled one at that. He's also somewhat of a lyrical craftsman. The problem...

I should make it clear that I don't hate Simon & Garfunkle, I just dislike it when they try to be "serious". Most of their simple pop stuff is great: 59th St Bridge Song, Cecilia (one of my absolute favorites), Baby Driver, Red Rubber Ball (I have a version of them doing this live); I ...

How about this: Singer-songwriters who sound like they're observing from afar rather than actually having lived close to what they're talking about (Simon & Garfunkle). I mean, honestly, singing Silent Night angelically over a Vietnam War news broadcast??? Did they really think they were saying ...

Hahaha, some of this is pure awesome. I mean, who doesn't wish they could listen to nothing but Electric Six for SIX ELECTRIC MONTHS STRAIGHT??? (this is not a diss on E6, they are definitely a great band, even if I never listen to them) Like: Pop with musical and rhythmic twists and kicks (basicall...

Ok, I'll be the one to cause some raised eyebrows and claim that this is one of the problems with Chrono Trigger - some of the bosses feel like gimmicks. It's funny for beating Ozzie, but things like the Son of Sun, or the guy in the watery cave (Heckran...? something like that) are just annoying. I...

Is it sad or awesome that a spambot has inspired the best use of the gen-disc forum in the past year or two at least?

Who cares? Every one of those pics is amazing, even if I don't know what Mr. Paige's is referring to.

No need for else's since "name" can't be more than one value at a time. Unless the script is causing some slow down since it is having to check 100 if checks every time. If that's the case, Neospade's setup won't help; you'd technically need opening parentheses for each 'else', and then 10...

I made an attempt at a skeleton for this, then gave up on actually DOING it for a bit, and then proceeded to forget all about it.
