I just tested the fight with Fat Back in Troll Over using the latest nightly, and he vanished correctly.

Looks like there may be some really odd engine bug preventing one-use NPCs from vanishing in the Jan. 15th nightly version, then. That is rather alarming! <s>Can somebody check the date on the copy of game.exe that came with Mantle Dwellers?</s> I would like to narrow down the search for where this...

Cool! I'll be testing this out this week. Does it do any signing yet, or is it only intended to go as far as making the unsigned apk?

Meanwhile, on another plane of existence, Vecna, God Of Secrets reviews the incoming stream of souls from his freshly departed worshipers. Vecna pauses in consternation when he gets to Silas's soul. "What is this?" Asks the dark god. "Why did he think that would impress me? What a so...

The splash of blood brings back such memories... But this knife is terrible! Why did he never bother to look for a better one? Silas is momentarily struck with indecision... Should he keep hacking away at her ridiculously durable neck? What if she fights back? What can he cast that will help? No ma...

From the moment Silas had been brought back to life, he had been praying to Vecna and meditating. After 8 hours of devotion to his god, Silas felt that his spells were ready to cast. He stands up and looked around at the others where they sleep. He moves quietly to stand over Lynda He remembers the...

Silas never answered Kalars question. He just lies there, completely inert, eyes half open, not blinking, not breathing, not moving a metal muscle. Has he forgotten about the word around him? Is he too wrapped up in praying to Vecna to care what is going on? Does he think he is still dead? It is ha...

Okay, bug fixed, thanks for pointing that out to me!

I am rebuilding the nightlies, so wait about an hour, and then download the latest, and let me know how it works for you.

Hmmm... So I tracked this down to a bug in the code that checks whether or not a layer is valid. I can't believe this ever worked properly, and the bug was introduced all the way back in May of 2014. When you say you were using a "December 19th" nightly build, do you mean December 19th of ...

Can you post the ladderappear script?

EDIT: nevermind, there is definitely an engine bug here, of the "why has this EVER worked?" variety.

It is worth a try, just to see if the music sounds different.

Audiere is an old library, abandoned since 2008, but it might have been a higher quality library in the first place than MikMod

To Silas's utter astonishment, he is pulled out of the sinking void of near-death, and sees a blurry, confused, painful vision of Kalar and a zombie leaning over him. Silas lays there on the ground, inert, unbreathing, and disabled. He thinks he could probably speak, but he does not even try. Silas...

When you run custom, it shows you the backends at the bottom of the screen. It is near the bottom of the screen, just to the right of the build date.

You are probably using music_sdl if I recall correctly that is the default on Windows

All those formats are supposed to be supported, but any problems with them sounding wrong when playing back is the fault of the music backend. music_sdl uses MikMod for tracker format support, so it is subject to whatever flaws and bugs are present in that library. music_native uses Audiere for trac...
