So is guardNumber a global variable? Without see the whole script (with the showvalue) I can't understand what was happening. I think I do want my LOS script to search for hero in party position 0. I'm not clear on what you're saying, are you trying to argue that that line of code I pointed out is a...

Yes, you just use the mouse commands. Touching the screen counts as left mouse button down. You can't move the mouse position without left button down. I don't think there's a right button (unless two fingers does that? I don't have a multitouch phone to test on. I doubt it) You can use one of the o...

There are two problems here: firstly there's an SDL bug where the keys can get stuck when a cmd.exe window pops up (and SDL has the same problem on other OSes too), and secondly, the engine is running a terminal command in a cmd.exe window when it should be doing it invisibly. Thanks for the video, ...

Yes, it looks like the script couldn't possibly do that. But it is, so some other assumption is wrong. So guardNumber is the NPC id? Looping from 4 to 14? And I assume it's not a global variable. Try adding showvalue or tracevalue above "Alter NPC (guardNumber,NPCstat:picture,50) " to prin...

There's an internal function for cloning slice trees, so I could just add a new script command to access that function.

There would be lots of different things that need to be changed, (e.g. handling the old overhead tile bit), but most of those tasks look like they will be easy. Fairly big project overall. I think by far the trickest thing is figuring out how the walking connections between layers should work. Likel...

Funny, I was just thinking about that just today, Yes, we do need to allow moving NPCs/heroes to other map layers. I'm quite interested in allowing each walkabout layer to have its own wallmap and letting you move between different layers automatically when you step on certain tiles. Is there any ne...

Have you ever (since the original release) released a demo with actual "end of demo" markers and half-built areas cordoned off? Do you have any plans to release such a demo instead of waiting a few more decades before this thing is finished? If you have released a 'proper' demo of the exte...

Yes, looks like they still don't have enough disk space. I haven't looked at this recently, but we should make a move on it. IIRC Void Pyramid is about 40MB, so it requires 40MB to store the .apk, plus a bit more than another 40MB to unzip the .apk the first time you run it, which happens during the...

I can understand you not wanting to enable iframe. I'm surprised everyone else seems to.

Since Spoonweaver paid for youtube support I guess I owe him S$8000 for a feature of his choice (yes! lets pool funds and corner the market!)

Oh, I beat you to it.
Yes, all the Frame<->Surface stuff is nasty and I'm really unhappy with the current API, which is temporary (I'm going to merge those two UDTs to do away with it all).
But that's not what I was referring to; I meant sneaking in the use of 32-bit surfaces and vpages!

The way to use surface_scale is entirely non-obvious. I think you'll be surprised at what's going on! Hmm, we actually have three different ways to scale a sprite. And all of them have major problems/shortcomings. Even though it feels messy, I guess I'll pick surface_scale and build sprite scaling i...

Wasn't expecting this; nice! I'm planning a tiled interface for the new spriteset editor too. Is exploiting the "Shrink" Dissolve type in Custom going to come back to bite me on the bum? Oh is that what you did? Ah, that explains why the browser runs at 1.3 fps on my netbook :P I had assum...

Ah, that's an oversight. Fixed, thanks.
I also lifted most of the hero/enemy stat caps while I was at it, since they were artificially constrained, bad in particular for custom battle systems.

This looks promising! A regular RPG?

Also, wow, you've been posting a lot of stuff on your tumblr since I last looked. You're drawing/creating 100 different dungeons? Incredible (and beautiful) What are these for? Are they full tilesets? For a game?
