Awesome possum with a side of Bob Ross...um... Hey, would it be possible to extend the browser, or have a custom selection option, to show two or even three lines of a text box for those who isolate character names or item names for description from the body text? I could see where the browser woul...

That is a great way to optimize a zone checking loop :)

It is cool to see Fortis on the team. I haven't seen much of him around here in years (I do follow his comic regularly)

Er, I mean,

That looks like the "Melt" enemy dissolve animation being applied to an NPC Sprite slice.

Very nice! :)

Can you use your camera and take a photo of the screen with ways? (I figure a screenshot probably won't capture it)

Perhaps the easiest solution for now is to add a helper command for iterating over the NPCs in order by direction.

Actually, I am wrong about collision being checked immediately when "walk NPC" is executed. I still think that the order of collision checking is a possible cause of this problem-- but maybe it will be easier to fix than I thought? Looking into NPC collision checking code now. EDIT: After ...

Very close! You actually want: set timer (0, 0, 1, @script) because the count argument counts from zero, not from 1 And this just schedules the script to be run once on the next tick, not to run every tick. If you want it to happen every tick, you should do: script, timer loop exampl...

I would be happy to try to help. Can you describe the feature you want?
