-Mouse highlighting: I wish menu items would not be highlighted if I don't have an active mouse cursor on the screen in Custom. Oh, I didn't notice this reply until James mentioned it. Being aware of whether the mouse cursor is over the window or not something that I wanted to implement - doing tha...

The cause of your misalignment is whatever you're doing in your hit/hit2 scripts, not the scripts you posted. The scripts you posted look correct... ...except that the line "if (hs == coin, or, hs == heart, or, hs == rock) then ()" is wrong. hs may or may not be the NPC you're colliding wi...

Dang. Did the same problem with looping not happen when using mikmod? I assume this is because SDL_mixer is handling the looping instead of letting modplug do it (if it even has an option for infinite looping). Its looping implementation for each music format each started out really broken and over ...

Right, displaying a slice has no sideeffects, unlike textboxes (pausing the player)

There are some significant changes in the last week: On Windows, SDL_mixer.dll was updated and switched to use modplug instead of mikmod to play module file formats (.it/.xm/.mod/.s3m). Mikmod had a bunch of bunch of problems playing various files. So some module music will now sound different. See ...

OK. You should start by trying out some simple scripts (e.g. by following the plotscripting tutorial) to check that you know how to write a script, import it, and attach it to something. I recommend you download the example game and examine it to see how the walkabouts are arranged. However that gam...

Pretty easy. You just write a textbox which embeds some global variables by their ID number, like "HP: ${V10}/${V11} MP: ${V12}/${V13}" and then fill in those globals with a script, which you can call from whereever you want, like map autorun: global variable(10, cur hp) gl...

Well I guess Marion is responsible for assigning people to stages, while attempting to ensure that everyone gets a chance to do everything. As she said in the other thread, the intention is that you stick to your own stage, and shouldn't be making changes to other people's work except as needed for ...

I've decided that I'm much too busy for the next two weeks so it will be impossible for me to take part during that time. So instead of writing up a stage list and starting another game, I'd like to instead join two weeks late. It's better to have more participants than games anyway. Maybe Virtuous ...

You will need to slightly edit that script if you don't want every hero and NPC to require two walkabout sets.

I'm hoping this will be a built-in feature in the E??? release. It's long over-due!

Hey, how do you create npcs anyway? Iv'e read the basic tutorial, but the option at the load game/create new game screen doesn't exsist for me though thats where the tutorial is claiming it to be. Which tutorial? Moogle's? The plotscripting tutorial on the wiki ? I don't know what 'option' you're r...

Right, well, that all looks fantastic! (Although at those prices Shopkeep James might not sell me anything) I like the little cloud-let particle effects as you burst through the clouds!

Oh, it's the Bob clock! I was wondering that green line at the center was.

As long as it's not dead (and there are screenshots to prove it), you're ahead of the pack!
I can't remember; did you say that you're going to release it when it's done, no demo?

Ah, neat; plenty of progress! So you finally have enemy encounters finished to your satisfaction? While a spawned enemy is chasing after you, can more enemies be spawned? In other words, if you try to evade it by running through dangerous areas will you only make things worse? Or is the player pause...

Heh, maybe that's a bit much. Since James and I are busy trying to finalise the Dwimmercrafty release (in addition to many distractions), those script commands aren't going to be done by then. I'll add them afterwards instead. Since Feenicks released his scripts, I'd love to adapt them to make use o...
