Rewriting everything is definitely a big task. But as you continue adding new items (although you said you wouldn't immediately...) you can still do them in a more sensible way. Even if you've already duplicated a script 270 times I wouldn't duplicate it 5 more times. Also, we've been discussing the...

Actually, "locate shop and item" only goes up to trytobuy106. So maybe you did forget something. Regardless, locate shop and item and called right at the start of the scripts like "Health Supplies", so the point stands: using a global variable is pointless, you can use script arg...

Alright, alright, everyone complains that the "walk in place" animation is too fast (it's the same speed as the walking animation; one frame per two ticks). We should just make the speed customisable*. *It's my fault that it's not, because previously I objected to a per-npc setting, becaus...

I'm not so surprised that some linux distros don't have xterm; they're missing many other things that I consider essential.

OK, more tips! Now for things that would be useful for most people to read; e.g. ones I used when cleaning up the scripts to Fridge Racer because Giz missed much easier ways to script stuff. OK, so you have lots of different things in some category, in this case items (but also shops, customers, rec...

Am I to assume that you can call scripts from within an if/then block? I didn't know this either. How does that work? Yes, it's just like a builtin command like keyispressed. if (my script(...)) then (...) is identical to variable(temp&#41...

Wow. I didn't know that Unices without xterm existed, and I've heard other people claim it's installed everywhere. I guess we could fallback to something else, but it's much easier to just make xterm a requirement. I found the previous thread where you mentioned a problem; it's here . You didn't res...

Hurrah! The world is a better place.

Please please please turn on "Disable HTML in this post" by default. It would save so much time.

Nah, there's no need to have 100 locals even today. OK, if you're willing to rewrite scripts when arrays are implemented then I can give you directions. But having another look at your scripts, I can tell you that you can already easily trim 200 thousand lines right now without arrays. There is an u...

Alright. So you have some extra documents (a howto for implementing items) that aren't in the playtesting kit? I don't see it in there (although I see you uploaded it yesterday). Oh, I remember Mr Perkins and prizes, but not perks items as prizes (him name makes much more sense now!) Hadn't heard of...

I have a deadline coinciding with the HotOHR final deadline, so I'll have something to look forward to when that's over.

Wait, Taco Bot, are you describing Grapnes 2? The correspondence is a bit lost on me, but I only looked at the first 5-10 min back whenever.

Well Pepsi, you're notorious for verbosity, but this takes the whole selection of cakes, muffins, ham sandwiches and all else on display too, and is the longest thing you've put in front of me since the changelog for The Adventures of Powerstick Man . I've left checking SS until pretty late today, s...

Yes, it is intentional (and explained in the help pages), because the mark/clone tool copies/modifies both the tilemap and wallmap, as well as the foemap and zonemap. There is no way to copy just one of those*; I suppose that ideally there would be a window of options for that, which would make it c...
