Slime Salad

Hmm, that looks like a minor bug: the commandline argument only changes the default directory in the file browser, not the default directory for creating a new game. But you are in luck; there is a hidden feature to change the directory when typing in a filename. Press up or down so that the directo...

I examined the .deb files. What happened is that James edited Wandering Hamster using a nightly build which contained a new feature (attack "Dramatic pause" option), introduced in r8002 on May 4th 2016, a month before the stable release. Callipygous was forked in April and Callipygous+1 di...

Cool. So if you have multiple NPCs you can loop over them next NPC reference and lookup the icon attached to an npc with "lookup slice(sli:quest icon, get npc slice(npcref))". Yep, scripts can generally be used to workaround problems, as long as it doesn't involve the battle system or buil...

Cool, thanks for the donation! Having different seasons goes well beyond just a day-night system. What was the problem you had with uploading to the wiki last time? If I have time and noone else does it, I could eventually upload these to the wiki. Hopefully someone else sets up.. I still haven't up...

Then email the game to me, and I'll run the scripts through my HS Decompiler utility for you.

Ah, hello again. SDL_mixer can be built to only load the libraries needed to play specific audio formats at run-time, and Ubuntu's copy might be built like that. So yes, until you actually test the various audio formats (ogg, midi, module (xm/it/s3m), and deprecated mp3, which is used by almost zero...

I'm jealous of your status menu; I wish that was built-in to the engine! Type in a textual reply? Does that mean entering keywords? Will (many of) the possible answers be fairly obvious? If not, it could be frustrating for the player, as you won't easily be able to predict what that exact answer the...

I also used a save versioning system in one of my games. If you just wanted to show a warning when you load a game, you could do this: define constant(2, current game version) # increment this as necessary global variable(1, save version) # pick an unused global ID bu...

Hmm, I took special care to make sure you get knocked back to the left in that case. Maybe you forgot to remove the "player hurtdir := npc direction(ref)" line from "damage player"? However, that doesn't explain why knockback is pushing the player through a wall. That's pretty co...

Really, both of you? I tried using greenyel's mount and dismount scripts, with the showtextbox removed, and had no problem. What you describe sounds like a script double-triggering problem. So I tried pressing F8 and selected "Toggle script logging" (Ctrl-F10), then mounted and dismounted ...

Sorry to hear that Nathan; I've seen people completely lose months of their lives for similar reasons. The first step to a Plan B may be just making a difficult decision you're putting off. ... Gosh, I had forgotten that Jan 31st was the deadline. I wasn't planning on entering, since I've been runni...

I haven't touched zones in a long while. Zone triggers will be something to add when I'm working on script multitasking. Certainly not necessary in any way, but that's when we were planning to add lots of new script triggers.

We plan to convert battles to slices, and let you edit the user interface in the slice collection editor. Since the enemies/backdrop are placed in the formation editor and the battle menus are edited in the hero editor, what's left to edit is mainly the appearance/position of the ready and HP meters...

I'm afraid there's no easy way to animate a slice yet; that's something that will be in the next release though. So if you're happy to wait a few months... Otherwise, you have to write a script to toggle the animation frames. Huh, I couldn't find anything on the wiki, so I'll write up a bit about th...

OK, let me know if you have trouble integrating it. I figured that since you've probably made changes in the past month, it would be better for me to just provide the parts that you should change. Also, helping others with their multicart games in this way is a good substitute for me working on my o...
