Slime Salad

Firstly because I wanted to make it pause animations as well as just motions, because the two are rather intertwined (e.g. walking animations), but that would be a big break when NPC and hero walking (and maybe flashing menu items) gets converted to animations. OK, admittedly, this is not necessary....

I was thinking of adding a feature to control that along with some related commands. I'm not sure that I'll get to it before the next release. If you add some silence to the end of the song then you won't need exact timing; but you should definitely use system time instead of ticks. It's easiest to ...

Yes, I nearly edited to say that we could use the same reordering I was discussing with Wendigo, but also use it in-game (and ignore the grouping of shop items into a tree, linearising them). But I don't like my todo list growing to infinity, so I just went ahead ignored that and implemented real re...

Shop item sorting: I was going to say I've never heard that one before, but I found it on my todo list. Good idea, but don't expect to get to it soon... Animations: Several of those ("shockwave", "magic animation", "pause", "flash") are things you should draw/...

Well... I bet I could add it in 5 min... GO! EDIT: What a mess! After implementing "suspend slices" and "resume slices" I decided they would be a really bad idea since they would make forwards compatibility impossible, so I threw them away. I'm working on commands to pause and re...

Oops, we forgot to add a "suspend slice movement" command. And although James implemented a way to suspend a single slice (and all of its children), he didn't actually add a script command to access that feature. Right now the only way to pause slice movement is to bring up a menu with the...

Wow, I didn't realise Bob had been around that long. Here's to flying fish! At the time I first played Walthros I wondered why things everything was so odd, especially the characters... and things are even stranger in later incarnations... But it makes as the continuation of a 25 year old comic. Bob...

(Re: Wendigo/ccTcc1_07) Cool! I don't think there's anything wrong with those columns. I anticipated that someone might want to make higher walls or even buildings out of my pretty low walls, but I didn't really provide anything for that. Seems like we might be drawing ruins rather than a town? We c...

Turns out that stopping the music when loading a game, even if the new map had the same music, was something that only happened when using script commands or a "Load" special menu item. Loading from the titlescreen didn't unnecessarily stop the music (but "Same as previous map" m...

Maybe we could use a "Walk Ahead Until Stuck" movement type too. I think that could be useful. E.g. an object (spawned by a tag change) which falls from the ceiling. I mistakenly thought you'd already implemented this! (And for anyone following along: James did add the "Follow walls ...

Sorry, I missed this post before (because lately I mainly use the 'New Posts' page and sometimes things don't show up there...) I agree that freezing the mouse cursor for any reason is very annoying; games should never do that. Currently, nothing else can happen during screen fades. Some day I would...

Thanks. Fixed in next nightlies. What do you know, it wasn't my fault at all! My recent changes were completely coincidental. The real cause was that the nightly Windows build machine was recently replaced (also a month ago), and the lastest version of Euphoria (the language hspeak is written in) fr...

The only way to exclude heroes from "pick hero" is to temporarily swap them out of the party. You can use the "save party order" and "restore party order" scripts that I wrote here . So save the order, then swap out any hero in the hero that isn't a plushie doll, then c...

Pressing F5 is just a convenience, it compiles and imports the scripts in an identical way to using the menu, so won't have an effect on this bug. (It was announced only in whatsnew, but that's a bad place to document unobvious features) In recently nightly builds you can also press F9 to reimport s...
