Slime Salad

Well, you might be right that this is too ambitious if you aren't comfortable enough with scripting. -walls in a pixel based system Wall checking can be done without too much trouble using the new "move slice with wallchecking" or "check wall collision x/y" commands. However in p...

Haha, I wasn't thinking straight either: I forgot about suspend timers and resume timers.

But what was so funny? We don't know, because the image is GONE This is part of a PATTERN of bad netizenship by James! Claims ignorance to dozens of MISSING gallery images! Disappeared! #BrokenMedia What's our republic come to? Those in charge get away with CRIMINAL irresponsibility in DUTY to maint...

It's actually be possible to change the size of an npc container slice, but I don't think that will achieve anything useful, since you don't have control over its position unless you use putnpc (which will then break tile-based walking). But if you were planning on using scripted pixel-based movemen...

Ah yes, Wander NPCs have a 1/4 chance to start a step every tick that they're not already walking. At 18 fps, that means they only pause for a ~fifth of a second, at higher frame rates it's no time at all.

This is fixable. Just stop all the relevant timers when the menu comes up, and resume them when it's closed, using "set timer(id)" with for loops over the timer ids. settimer preserves all timer settings that you don't specify, and stoptimer also preserves them, so they can be used to paus...

Oh, neat! When did this get greenlit? I found out about it when I got an email today. Will you be putting up Linux and Mac versions shortly? Also, I notice that screenshots are all really badly distorted. They look like they've been scaled multiple times without interpolation. Did you upload them as...

With 50% chance, it tries to move closer to the hero in the X direction, otherwise in the Y direction. Strangely, if it already has the same X or Y coordinate, then it moves in a random direction with uniform chance. (It would only be necessary to move in a random direction if there is actually an o...

Wow, not only are these totally recognisable, when the code is so short it actually looks more maintainable than the modern editors! So would cowbobs be older, since you needed a sprite editor before a map editor? It looks like gungnir also had a map editor, but comparing it to the one in bob2 which...

Everyone who hasn't manually quietened their sound effects should probably set the sound and music volumes in their games to the same level.

(I'll be adding per-sound effect volume scaling as well to make volume scaling a thing of the past)

I realised that I should just add a menu for editing options like shift speed instead of adding obscure key combinations. That mockup looks good! It wouldn't be much work to add that. Displaying neighbouring frames in the preview box would also be useful. I'll definitely add next/previous frame keys...

Although there is no reason for you to use a script, for completeness, that topic is covered here: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce ... _screen%3F. There was a thread about ti recently here

Thanks! Very helpful. I think I can see what we can do about this; we'll have to use --native-kbd and try to work around the stuck keys problem (which is an SDL bug) some other way. One thing I notice is that the OHR doesn't treat AltGr as an Alt key. So for example you won't be able to use alt+arro...

It appears that uiSpecialItem/uiSelectedSpecial/uiSelectedSpecial2 used to be used for 'special' items in the Items menu, but are no longer used for anything, though I'm not sure about that. After investigating two days ago I've already forgotten what a lot of the Items menu colours are for exactly,...

Ah, actually we're designing some extensions to Hamsterspeak right now, and I'm trying to use characters which are easy to type on most keyboards. It's too bad [ and ] are difficult; I wouldn't consider anything else for array indexing. Thanks, I had a look at that file. But it just shows you typed ...
