Oh, I thought you were running it via the command prompt. That's how you're meant to: -Open a Command Prompt -First, check whether scons works. Run "scons". You should see a help message. -Use the 'cd' command to change directory. E.g. "cd c:\ohrrpgce". "cd .." to go up...

I think maybe you want something like... wantdir := -1 if (keyval(key:left) && hero direction == left) then (wantdir := left) else if (keyval(key:right) && hero direction == right&...

What error message do you get when you run "scons"?

You only need to override the movement code, and leave the use and menu keys alone, unless you want to be able to press the use and movement keys at the same time. You're overriding built-in movement in most cases, and it seems simpler to just do it always. Beware that you probably want to take into...

You don't need to, unless you want to edit the source code (and you can even use Notepad for that, although I would definite not recommend it: use Notepad++ or anything else at all, except for Wordpad/Libre Office/etc). You only need to run scons to compile.

Yes, animations can be a pain. Aside from timers the other option is to put some information in the slice extra data or elsewhere about the animations, and just iterate over all the heros/slices/whatever is animating each tick to update the animations.

I don't understand the question. If the hero is already in the middle of a movement, why would you want to interrupt that movement and start moving in another direction, which would cause misalignment with the grid? I also don't see what the "if((keyval(key:Left) == 0) && (keyval(key:Up...

(This is in reply to the original strafing question, not the turn-and-then-move question) Actually, overriding normal movement isn't necessary at all. When the hero is stationary and the player presses a movement key you use walk hero followed by set hero direction to override the direction the hero...

If you installed scons, and you put C:\Python27\Scripts in your PATH, then you should be able to run "scons" from the commandline in any directory. Then you can go to the OHR source directory (the one containing SConscript) in the commandline and run "scons" to compile. You proba...

Is that a strangely shaped cranial scar? A wire embedded under the skin?

Neat to see more Overgrowth. Nice enemy idea.

Depends on the climate. The ones on the right do well-suggest to me a sunny climate, the left have a European complexion/predicament.

Hmm. I suggest doing the following: get the zip file for scons 2.4.0 (which you apparently already have). Unzip it somewhere temporarily. Open a command prompt (with admin privledges, if using recent Windows), and go to the directory (using cd) that you unzipped scons to. Run "python setup.py i...

Wowzors.

I think that walktall Cthulhu actually looks menacing unlike his comical 20x20 version. But boy does he look thin in that portrait. I always imagined a bloated mass of tentacles underneath that robe.

Well... that's strange. If you open a command prompt and try to just run "python" (without being in the C:\Python27 directory), does it work? If not, check whether C:\Python27 is in your PATH. However, I assumed that detecting Python installations on Windows was done in some other way. Did...

Well, that leaves me scratching my head... I tried running the installer for myself, and saw that by default it installs into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\, and also puts scons.bat and many other programs in C:\Python27\Scripts. That looks completely different to what's shown in that screenshot. I ...
