It looks great. But I have to warn you that you're using a very dark palette, so much of the form isn't visible without turning my monitor contrast up. It's not that it looks bad due to that, just that I think it looks better when I can actually see more of it.

It's not something I know much about, but this thread has some interesting suggestions. How many wakeups per second do you see? What GPU/GPUs does your laptop have and what driver are you using? (Some Nvidia laptop GPUs in particular are notoriously bad under Linux; don't know whether using propriet...

Yes, I noticed that the status of my order changed to "Fulfilling" (uncancellable) after only 1 day or less.

The best solution is to switch to the same version (whichever is latest) on both computers. Also, all previous nightly builds are archived at http://gilgamesh.hamsterrepublic.com/nightly-archive/ if you want to standardise on something other than the current nightly. But to answer your question I do...

I'll stick with the first edition. I would advise the two other purchasers to switch to the second edition so that I may be left with a one-of-a-kind, but if they haven't already then it's too late.

A few extra dollars for extra material doesn't concern me. I just tried to order the book. Unfortunately when I clicked the "Continue to checkout" button after adding the book to the cart nothing happened. The button is non-functional. I tried searching their help and googling the problem,...

Yeah, LXDE is annoying me a bit, so I might switch to XFCE, especially as I used to use it years ago. I looked around a bit and found TLP, which should improve battery life after being installed. Basic installation, see http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/tlp-05-released-install-it-in-ubuntu.html Or see ...

Oh, I didn't bother to look at the other scripts before. I see that the only place that xv (and yv) are actually set is in the initialise script! Just add "xv := -5" after "set slice velocity x(player,-5,1)" and same in "try right". There are more problems though, such ...

Wicked.

The lines around the mouth irk me just a little. I see you got dithering for the palettisation working; doesn't look bad.

By "those 2 frames" you seem to mean 2 and 5. I see the problem now: 'last frame' isn't really initialised properly. In particular, if you switch direction then the old value isn't one of 4 or 6, or 1 or 3 respectively. The solution is simple, replace else if(last frame == 3&#4...

So what actually happens? That looks correct to me, so maybe the problem is elsewhere. Posting all your scripts could help. You could handle the xv == 0 case in that script as well. I assume that you will want to change the frame to either 2 or 5 in that case. Unlike C, in HamsterSpeak you don't nee...

gfx_directx has a couple issues related to mouse cursor positioning; this is probably related to that. http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=988 However in this case I suspect that code somewhere dubiously and unnecessarily using the mouse position as stored state could be just as ...

Yes, making use of textbox import and export is the easy way to do that. Note that most text box styles aren't used in any builtin menus, so you can freely change them. What they're used for is documented here, though I'm not sure whether it's still completely up to date: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic....
