Slime Salad

I think a reasonable approach would be to say how much XP you want the player to gain from boss battles, areas, formations, etc, both cumulatively and individually, e.g. one level gained from this area or half a level from this boss, or 40% of the total "level gaining" the hero does coming...

Looking great, especially the lake! (I'm not the only one to think so, but a lot of people seem content to lurk and chat in IRC these days...) I had totally forgotten that I could hope to look forward to monthly updates :) Battle backdrops should be especially good. It's funny that in this quite car...

Three months, plus two weeks for bugfixing. When the contest began it seemed much shorter than previous years, but I guess that was an illusion.

That reminds me of the word dwimmer-crafty (or dwimmercrafty, dwimmercraft), coined by Tolkien. "Knowledgeable, crafty, or skilled in the art of magic."

I see you're referring to this script . Unfortunately there's no equivalent for NPCs. If you do try to script it, you will end up with a one-tick delay when an NPC starts to move when they will still have the standing frame. It probably won't look very good, but you can try it. It's as simple as loo...

I was very confused as well, because I didn't realise that it was guo, not kylekrack, who posted the original question. I don't see how that would help.

Fake arrays

That way of implementing it is just as good, actually it's probably a bit clearer. And if you want to delete the NPC only if one of the level mp stats is below maximum, then you would want to write it that way anyway.

It's nearly the same, but use a "min" function (which mysteriously isn't builtin) to cap the mp. script, min, a, b, begin if &#40;a < b&#41; then &#40;return &#40;a&#41;&#41; else &#40;return &#40;b&#41;&#41; end script, restore level mp, who, begin ...

Of course if you are using tags instead of "delete npc" then you can flip the tag. Aside from saving and loading the game, which is certainly a good trick and the way to go, the mundane way to reload all deleted NPCs is to use "reset map state" and "delete map state". T...

Were you going to take nominations for additional magnet designs? Last year there were far more than four. Also, are these magnets only for HotOHR contestants? Oh no!!

It's documented in whatsnew.txt (and the F1 help page): * You can now use the mouse to select or highlight slices in the slice editor, press F5 to edit the hidden root slice, F6 to shift around the view, and V to toggle slice visibility. [Ralph] What I didn't mention is that the slice editor now run...

Nobody linked to Yi , which is what I assume Kylekrack was referring to. Which is pretty awesome, and all the animations could be sped up (not necessarily easily) to make them practical. I would add a command to grab a screenshot of the screen, but I don't know whether it could be reasonably continu...

Cool! I found last year's 10GB collection available for download here ; from there you can download each file individually. I didn't see anything that's in both bundles, so you get 26GB of sound effects in total! Notice that these are large .wav files; there are only 637 files in the new bundle. May...

Actually, it is possible that changing the Font Type option in the font editor causes this bug to appear, since that affects the scrubbing of text input for non-representable characters. If you created a new game you would get the new (since years ago) default Latin1 font.

So you were previously using Beelzebufo, rather than nightly builds?

Even if you were using Beelzebufo, I'm surprised that there's a difference between Beelzebufo and Callipygous.
