I haven't seen the flashing effect in question, but here is a rather simple script for a mild flash with palette tweaking

Code: Select all

script, mild flash, begin
  tweak palette(10, 10, 10)
  update palette
  wait(1)
  reset palette
  update palette
end

Tammytharn follows the advice to get out of the way, and then uses "Cure Moderate Wounds" on herself. She will have two more castings of it left after that, which she will use on whoever she can reach that looks to be most severely wounded (ignoring Lynda) She sends the last surviving sum...

Bummer.

Well, the game had a very good run, and you should be proud of how many people have played it.

Making up your own superheroes sounds like fun. I add my vote to that plan

Tammytharn directs the celestial dogs to surround the bull and attack. She wants them to distract it. Better for it to attack the dogs rather than her allies

She begins chanting her Prayer

Welcome, Rocketmew, you are added to the whitelist.

Our only rules are don't mess up other people's builds, and try to respect signs on chests. We usually put signs like "FREE SUPPLIES" or "James's stash, don't touch"

Oh, yeah, the spritetype: constants are for sprite slices! Not compatible with set hero picture at all!

Re: set/get hero picture doesn't work with portraits

set hero picture(0, 1, spritetype:portrait) sets the hero's walkabout set to 1, and get hero picture(0, spritetype:portrait) returns the hero's walkabout set, at least as of Beelzebufo. Has this been fixed in the nightlies? The ability to set portraits with "set hero picture" was not adde...

Only thing is the choppy scrolling. I even think that getting a well made full game passed on Greenlight would be feasible if the scrolling were improved. Speaking of which, I heard that JSH's Motrya just passed Steam Greenlight :) I really hope he is able to get the motivation and sprite-art-help ...

Firstly James, I discussed the shift+tab debug key with you recently. Secondly, I vaguely remember that the speedcontrol debug keys were once Ctrl Alt +/- rather than Ctrl +/-, it but hasn't been that way since at least 2005. I believe you, but my memory is completely blank on the Shift+Tab subject...

Huh. I did not know about shift+Tab debug keys myself. When I want to mess with frame-rate I always use CTRL ALT + and CTRL ALT - We do want to eventually allow changing the default frame-rate. I think the main reason we have not done so yet is because we wanted to add options to scale the built-in ...

That can't possibly be! I say "Oops!" all the time. I feel like it must be the first thing I type any time anyone ever reports a bug :)

Ah, I understand your problem a little better. You do not want "globals to string" either. That command takes a bunch of global variables, looks insde them for ascii valuse, and then tries to construct a string out of them. That is definitely not what you want. You have a number stored in ...
