Slime Salad

I'm not aware of any palette tweaking tools anywhere that are aware of ramps, contrast, and shading. That would be a very hard problem to solve. Rather than using a palette I ended up using the one James posted. However I haven't really been using the ramp. I notice that there are still lots of simi...

Yes, looks great!

Generally you will want to create invisible container slices to act as hitboxes, positioned and sized to be close to what you want.

My post in question: http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtop ... 219#116219. But I assumed kylekrack mostly knows what he's doing; hardly a start on a real guide.

BTW, if you use the mouse I highly recommend increasing the framerate to 60 fps (an option in recent nightlies).

You'll notice that there are quite a lot of textbox-related lookup codes. Every time a textbox is opened, the existing textbox slices if any are deleted, and new ones created. sl:textbox root is the lookup code for the bottommost slice that gets deleted and recreated. Only sl:textbox layer is preser...

Great, you're off the starting block. You could either check individually for each clickable object (buttons, objects in the scene) whether the player clicked on it, or first figure out what slice they clicked on (e.g. using "find colliding slice"), and then run the right script depending ...

I knew that was going to happen, I only wonder why it took a week.

The error from set slice text (lookupslice (sli:loottext),10) says that "lookupslice (sli:loottext)" returned 0, which is simple: there is no slice with the loottext lookup code. Judging from your script you meant to set this lookup code on one of th...

Crikey Mogri, how old is your son now? He's talking! I feel old.

Hey, cool. Indeed there's a number of different kinds of first-person perspective game. It would be great to have a Sidescroller 101-style tutorial & set of scripts for people to build on for Shadow-gate style or point-and-click games (which I guess is just "tap games" on a touchscreen...

Did someone say first person dungeons? I wonder whether there's enough overlap... wouldn't want to encourage everyone to focus on first person dungeon crawlers though.

Pepsi, I didn't understand everything, but it sounds like you're asking for two different things. Firstly, a tool to switch to a different master palette, and modify all 16-colour palettes, tilesets and backdrops to use the nearest colour in the new palette to the old colour. Yes, there's a tool for...

That would be great. Are you aware of the HamsterWhisper editor James created? It's based on GtkSourceView, so you can look at the HamsterSpeak definition file for that: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Author&#58; James Paige <Bob@HamsterRepublic.com> Copyright &a...

Haha, great.

Cool, but it doesn't seem to work in Firefox 37. I can't drag to select a ramp; only the first colour gets selected by a box. The selection also seems to disappear after I release the mouse cursor, as changing the values and clicking Ramp it up does nothing. I went to create a small page about this ...

I'll try to come up with a good idea for this! But wait a minute, it seems that when playing on a touchscreen, dragging your finger over the screen would get translated either into mouse movements or mouse drags, so an interface for a PC game wouldn't necessarily work. Or does the sdl_android turn d...
