Great; thanks for this!

I'm think you're thinking of smoothed scaling. The graphics backends have an option to smooth the graphics when running at a 2x or greater zoom. The type of smoothing used is graphics backend dependent. gfx_directx uses bilinear filtering, and the others use a non-smoothing scaling algorithm that's ...

Well, I can see that one person managed to download Mr Triangle's Adventure; download failed for everyone else. Still not working for me. I notice that there's no link to the Mac or Linux downloads or Android app store for Don't Eat Soap (those links are on the homepage). I really think that not pro...

It sounds like a first release in 1997 is still quite likely.

Someone suggested a contest/challenge to create games using a 4-map copy of the OHRRPGCE, but at the time noone had a working copy.

Slick, that's going the extra mile! I copied the script over to the wiki.

You win! This is the oldest known complete copy of the OHRRPGCE. Previously the record was October 4th 1998 (which was the last release of 1998; you can download it from the archive ), and yours is July 27th 1998. There is also a demo of Wandering Hamster from November 4th 1997 from before the OHRRP...

Great. Interesting to note that all the games this year have their own websites; no links to SS. On RMZ's Mr Triangle's Adventure webpage I notice that the "Available at Amazon" icon goes to Google Play. More seriously, downloading the PC version doesn't work. I tried three times to downlo...

Harddisks die often! Here's my collection of 11 harddisks/SSDs that have died on me, plus one more recently which I haven't taken out of the case yet. http://tmc.castleparadox.com/pics/harddisks.jpg Many of these are still kind-of readable, but are in the process of dying. I was lucky that the mostl...

It's in "Edit Battle Formations", and it only exists in nightly builds. Both duplicating the caption for each target, or showing total damage and a customisable string as the target name (e.g. "the enemies") seem reasonable. So I suggest adding a per-attack setting to select whic...

So that script is triggered by a textbox? Well scripts triggered by textboxes don't receive any arguments, so both 'formation' and 'ref' will be 0. I would guess that this slug enemy is NPC 0, and after you delete a few of them the script finally deletes the one you bumped into. To fix the problem h...

Probably garbage data in the equipment then.

You can put string IDs in constants or variables. I almost never refer to strings using numbers, unless they are temporary and only used on the next line. I like to name my string constants/variables "str:name" and so forth. Also, a trick is that $id="..." returns id, so you can ...

Oh, menu item handles actually count from 1, not 0. Naturally, since 0 is reserved to mean an invalid handle/no item. So you misinterpreted this to mean that menu item slots are counted from 1. Of course you should never make assumptions about the value of any kind of handle. I recommend always goin...

Yes, there is a large difference. If strings were an actual part of the language then you would not have to manually manage string IDs, you could not run out of available strings, and it would mean that the language would have separate data types, allowing polymorphism (in a dynamically typed langua...

The problem is that "selected menu item" returns a menu item handle, not the position of the item in the menu. Your script works the first time just because menu item handles are assigned counting up from zero (in hindsight this was a mistake), but the second time they won't start from zer...
