Slime Salad

An overhaul of the attack editor would be great, but that mockup looks too cluttered to me. Keeping each section on its own screen will make it easier to understand, and avoids the need for abbreviations. I definitely don't want to change the names "attacker" or "attack" I do lik...

I went back and checked. Catt suffered a total of 11 points of str damage. Slickens too 9 strength damage, and then Horace cast Lesser Restoration on him, but I didn't see any roll for how much was cured. Kamaron took 4 points of str damage. I have been enjoying this campaign. I think we all just go...

What is Catt's and Slickens's current status in regards to strength damage?

(And who else took strength damage? Did Kamaron breathe any of the poison?)

As the archon piles things up, Catt sits down and starts to pick through Kamaron's stuff as if it is her own.

"What the 7 hells are these all about?" she asks him, holding up the chicken bones. "Did you order a chicken, and the archon got hungry?"

The night passes uneventfully, and Hyne is not disturbed in his rest. In the morning around sunrise, Hyne can hear distant drums and trumpet music start up. It sounds like the same tune that the soldiers were playing off and on through the funeral procession, just more and louder. It seems to be com...

Caldon Someone is rapping gently on the door of Caldon's apartment. Then a key rattles in the lock, and as the front door opens, a voice calls out "Mister Moooorgensen! Are you Deeeecent? I'm showing the apartment again!" It is definitely Ms Delibes Pitt, Lord Fairmond's real-estate solic...

After-battle scripts run after every battle on the map. This is usually used for doing special stuff after random battles. If you want a plot event to happen after a battle, then the after-battle script trigger is probably the wrong way to trigger the script. Tell us more about the battle? Is it a b...

So you are using the menu to set the tags?


How about if each menu goes directly to a text box.

Then the textboxes themselves can turn the tags on.

That makes your Menu simpler, it makes your text box conditionals simpler, and you still get the same effect you are looking for.

I think that article is obsolete. A lot of menu features have been added since it was written. I think you should be able to do what you want to do without any tags at all. Talking to the NPC should bring up the first text box. That text box should bring up the menu. The menu should have a bunch of ...

I do have one, just haven't gotten around to testing it

But thank you ! :)

Very strange! The last time I tested a gameday, I know it definitely worked in battle... but that was like 7 years ago. Our gamepad support is badly under-tested and in need of a big overhaul. Are you on Windows? Can you test with the gfx_sdl backend? Do that either by running with the -gfx sdl comm...

That is a really good point. A feature like what I just described would be a pretty heavyweight solution, but it would be easy to script. If we had a light-weight LineSlice, I could get similar results by re-positioning the line each tick in a loop or a timer, and I really wouldn't care if my line l...

Beautiful! "exit" sounds perfect.

I can live with "return" being weird, and "exit returning" being long. Those only bother me about 1/10th as much as -- ever did ;)

"return!" is amusing and appealing.

"do return" and "return now" are also perfectly reasonable.

Yeah, I was probably wrong to say it should point to its parent's anchor. Rather than think of this from a slice-data perspective, it might be better to think about how I would use it in a game, and then think about what the slice would need to do to implement that. Back to the idea of having a balo...
