Apparently the delay value is the number of slots in the queue of attacks that the attack is pushed back: a delay of 2 causes two other attacks to happen first. Ignore the "Delay: X ticks (Y seconds)" caption, that's a mistake. I think chained attacks happen immediately unless there is a d...

msw is right. In fact you can leave out all other arguments to settimer and the existing settings will be preserved, even if the timer has already expired. So write "set timer (0, read timer(0) + 60)".

Well actually, technically, since the Windows, Mac, and Linux nightly builds are all compiled at different times of day, they may be different versions even with the same date. However changes that would prevent going back to a previous version are rare, and there haven't been any such changes in a ...

I'm tossing up whether to continue on with my 9+ year project, or start fresh with something pared, streamlined and elegant. Any thoughts? You mean Apophenia? Have you been working on it that long? If you do mean Apophenia, then as I said, I think it has heaps of potential. And although it's been r...

Actually (on Slackware GNU/Linux), I have the problem that the dropbox icon usually doesn't appear on my taskbar. I've never bothered to find out why, because I'm happy using the commandline interface (on the other hand, integration with your file browser is quite useful because it lets you right cl...

Whoa! This isn't a rework, this is a 99.8% completely different game! And a decent chunk of content. Maybe that's why you didn't upload it to the game list here? (You can set multiple downloads in an entry) The writing is great stuff, as and the graphics are pretty good too. The game made me feel re...

This depiction of external exile to the DEEP VOID exceeds all expectations. Doing battle with the slaves of Prime Pharaoh in particular amazed my senses. Unfortunately my enjoyment of the simulation was completely counter-productive to properly acclimatising to my future doom in the ULTIMATE AGE. I ...

So far I've only read the part of this thread about key repeat; pretty busy here. So weighing in on that: The key repeat rate is independent of any OS settings, but it does depend on frame rate: it triggers every 55ms. The delay before key repeat starts is 500ms. (It would be trivial to add some ext...

?!?

Looks like this is going to be a unusual

Hi! Nice to see you again. (Bah, I was about to reply to this but just then my phoneline went down for a couple days.) I replayed Apophenia, since I remembered it was quite short. What I didn't remember was how nice your tiles and maps were -- the city looks really great! The dialogue tree and custo...

It seems to me that you have some malformed C++ syntax in your signature, supposing 'ClassA*' was intended as a C-style cast, but is lacking parentheses.

1) sometimes the random enemies triggered twice? Think there's a script on the wiki that prevents that. Was unaware there was a script out there to prevent that annoying double-triggering that sometimes happens -- I'll have to go look into that! Thanks for mentioning it. I don't think there was suc...

Ah, I updated it to download Ant 1.9.6 in future (unfortunately I couldn't find a permanent download link to the latest version). If you used the download link that Chrono gave at the beginning of this thread, that's very old indeed. I've just recompiled the pre-built binaries and made some other im...

You mean a major release of the engine or of your game? The next major release is very soon :)

I looked through modarchive and found a bunch of files that sound noticeably different in xmp and mikmod. Either there is some clicking, or it sounds quite different, typically less smooth and more electronic. I even found an .xm (01heart.xm) that doesn't play at all with mikmod . I wonder if you ha...
