Slime Salad

Now wait a minute, I can't think of any Haloween Contest games that were scary. I had always thought that the goal was always to create a Haloween-themed game. Sometimes that can mean a spooky atmosphere.

Not quite; music_native/native2 has no limit on the number of simultaneous sound effects, because it resizes the array as needed. So I bumped it to 16 because 11 is an odd number.
8 sound channels was the default number for SDL_mixer.

...and I had a reply typed up, only to lose it to an "invalid session" error when trying to post it. >_< I get that error practically every day because I often leave the Post Reply page open for an open. If you get it just press the back button and try again. You can even reopen the tab a...

Hot dang that's nice!

But I also thogut that the huge pelivc bones looked odd. I looked it up and it turns out T-Rexs really do have huge pelvic and pubis bones but not quite that large.

Alright good to know. Any idea of when script multi tasking would be implemented. It is not a priority of mine to fix this issue anytime too soon, so if that feature is implemented somewhere down the line I could just wait for it. I don't like to make promises of the sort because I tend to break th...

It's not yet possible to change. Converting the battle UI to slices will allow it. And we're close to that!

You could even set the outline colour to an otherwise unused colour in the master palette and use a script to set it to the same colour as the background. Additional options for both textbox appearance and fonts is actually something that's half complete and which I hope we get done in the not-entir...

This sounds very cool!

The game sounds like it would be a roughly even mix of battles and outside of battle aspects, right?

As I said in the other thread, on-keypress triggers have precedence over timer triggers. so what happens is this: -hallucinate0 triggered by timer -on keypress script triggered -on keypress script runs -stoptimer(1) is called -on keypress script finishes -hallucinate0 runs -hallucinate0 sets timer t...

I've never heard a custom battle system described as "a relatively small amount of scripting" before!

Yes, the order in which the engine triggers scripts affects which gets to run first. I thought that I documented the order somewhere on the wiki, but can't find it. A newly triggered script always pausing any previous scripts, forming a stack. (You can try gleaning information out of How does plotsc...

Cool; that makes sense.

It's not linked from anywhere. I suggested creating entries in the gamelist for web-based games. I noticed that rapidly clicking twice on an option brings up a "option not found on this page" error. I can't remember whether I ever went through I Like Pigeons at the time, but regardless I j...

I want an interface to set a sprite as a particular fraction of the way through a dissolve animation. Most obvious would be to use the same 'current frame number', 'total frames of animation' used in the enemy death settings.

Timers are triggered in order of their ID numbers, pushing them onto the script stack, and then executed in reverse order.
