Taco Bot is correct. The Linux packages will not run out of the box on all 64 bit Linux machines, but many people will already have the necessary 32 bit packages installed. I would just tell people that the packages are for 32 bit Linux, and link to http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Linux_Note...

Child slices are indeed drawn on top of their parents. You can't change the parent of an NPC or hero slice or any other 'protected' slice (which is all of the special ones). Also, you can't use movesliceby on hero or NPC slices, because their positions are tied to the hero or NPCs, which you need to...

Yes. This is covered in the 2nd half of this HOWTO chapter: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce ... s_and_Tags

Neat. Though it doesn't mention that the game is also available for Linux and Android.

The 'Load' menu option definitely does run the load-game script. After using it, try pressing F10 twice to enter the script debugger and see which scripts are running. I suspect that some other script is also started when you load a save, and it doesn't finish and allow the load-game script to run. ...

Yeah, just stupid user interfaces :/

So some Macs don't have Delete keys? Is that just laptops? I've only noticed the missing Insert on my Mac at uni (and I can't remember what the Fn+something combination for Insert is anyway, because I don't use it often).

Maybe you wrote "load menu" instead of "load menu(true)". The former doesn't actually load a save slot, it just returns the selected save slot number. It's best to read the documentation rather than assume that a command does the obvious thing. Everything else you described sound...

To use it, assuming you've created a menu in the editor, just do this: plotscript, test2, begin open menu(1) # change menu id here # repeat a few times to mix well randomise menu randomise menu randomise menu randomise menu randomise menu end Yes, the plot dictionary could always do ...

Almost; I meant that those red lines should line up with the bottom edge of the wall. Imagine that the window extended all the way down to the floor. Then the patch of sun/moonlight should join to the bottom edge of the extended window. Anyway, that's just the theory to inform your decision to place...

Timers aren't saved in save games, but globals are. If a battle occurs, menu is entered or another script is triggered, your script will be paused until they finish. While paused, wait commands don't continue to count down. So if a script is triggered that contains no waits or implicit waits, then i...

That looks pretty nice. I never thought of drawing floorboards like that, but it works. Drawing the sun coming in through the window makes the map feel a lot more 3D and real, though I think that it doesn't have the correct angle: the vertical sides of the sun spot (what do you call an anti-shadow?)...

When you go into the Help menu you should also see an option "Help: Press F1 or Cmd-Shift-?". Cmd-Shift-? is an alternative to pressing F1. Of course you're still going to want to use the Fn+F# keys to use the map editor. Personally I set the system preference to pass function keys to the ...

As Foxley said. If you want a script to continue when the game is loaded, you have to run it from your load game script. Getting it to continue from the spot which it had reached before is certainly not easy (you need to use globals and a bunch of if's or something to skip to the right point in the ...

Oops, I overlooked this thread. The reason you saw only one menu item with text is that at the bottom of the script you set all the global variables random1_used - random4_used to true, so that all the "read global(X) == FALSE" checks at the top of the script will be false from then on. Wh...

Haha. I didn't think of that meaning; it makes a lot of sense. And having a second meaning adds to the ambiguity of the first, which is perfect!
