Well, actually, why don't you use a map autorun script instead to change the hero, and have just two scripts. First you use a regular door (or a 'use door' conditional in a textbox, or 'teleport to map' command in a script, whatever) to move to the correct position on the destination map. Then on ev...

Oh, I'll let you make the menu, aside from doing replay-based demo modes, if I do indeed get around to adding commands for that. Potentially they're not too much work to add, but I was wrong the last time! I'm not 100% sure how Mogri did the Memento Mori replays, but I believe that he just recorded ...

I don't know what you mean by that. If you have a map autorun script then when you enter the map the autorun script starts, pausing any scripts that were previously running. That's only a problem if the autorun script contains wait commands. Aside from that there's no problem using doors in a script...

Yes, in your case just swapping the graphic and name (you can do that using "set hero name") definitely looks like the way to go, to avoid having to swap stats, spells, xp/level if you make use of those.

I'll tell you anyway, it's educational (and you're right, there's nothing on the wiki aside from Adding, Removing and Swapping Heroes , I should put this up there ( (edit) ): Actually, you aren't swapping the character out of the party, you're deleting them entirely. Any equipment on them gets delet...

I knew Giz was itching to do the menu. I would love to help with a menu. I have some ideas that might not even be possible (using timers and the new rungame to randomly choose a game as a "demo" screen if you don't push any buttons and then "rungame" the menu to pop back) but fai...

Oh yes, I see the item graphics are different. A bit odd though. It would be clearer if it didn't say x1 next to the non-thrown items, which seems to indicate that they are expendable.

So can knives both be thrown and used for stabbing? I'm guessing you can't throw the halberd.

Congrats, now you have a Finish Your Damn Game Contest-game instead of a Halloween Contest game... or maybe even something for Willy's collection. I'm intrigued by the Sword of the Samurai idea. I tried replaying that recently, and you're right, the individual minigames don't stand up on their own v...

Like Gizmog and Feenicks I don't see much reason to use the NES palette specifically. Referring to Action 52 seems to be causing everyone to assume that the games ought to be bad, despite your actual description of the goals; I suggest not associating with it (or Caltron 6-in-1). Although, would you...

Hello! You've found an engine bug! Sorry for that; it turns out that I'm the person to blame for this bug. When you do "add hero (hero:Ship), delete hero (hero:Trucker)" you put 'Ship' in the second party slot and then remove 'Trucker' from the first party slot, leaving the first party slo...

The NES palette: http://i.imgur.com/XZ0FmRb.png Having better ramps would be more important if you're doing something in the style of e.g. Indigo : http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/files/indigo0001_139.png Which I might find fun to try; it's "cheaper" than drawing well. I still don't have a...

Are you emulating scanlines?! Like Willy said, we don't have to strictly enforce rules; providing a suggested base palette and suggested palette usage rules is just an easy way to ensure it'll look consistent. I personally would not bother always sticking to 3 colours per sprite; NES games get aroun...

And you likely didn't think of it, but I guess you want all games to be 320x200 too, and same window size/full screen settings (hmm, I should make "run game" remember the fullscreen setting when changing game rather than resetting). You switched back and forth between "8-bit" and...

Ah, so in that case a command just to get the next textbox in the chain won't be enough. Rather than reimplement all the textbox conditionals yourself, why not let the engine do it? You can just hide the whole textbox with "set slice visible", and then draw the textbox in a custom way. You...
