Our olives are mostly green -- unfortunately they tend not to ripen well.

What's the purpose of puncturing the dough?

25-45 minutes? Wow, normally I only cook for 15-20, even with an inch of toppings and non-prebaked dough, which I may or may not do.

There's really no reason that we can't make hspeak include plotscr.hsd, scancode.hsi, and the .hsi file exported from the game by default if the user forgets. Note: The two files in quotations are there to tell the compiler that the filename is longer than one word (or is it 8 characters?) but is st...

Impetus.

Plus I assume art as well.

After lots of back and forth, we found that Microsoft Security Essentials' realtime protection was to blame. It was causing a uniform delay of ~300ms when attempting the close the graphics files after writing to them because of some suspicious pattern of pixels. It's possible to set it to exclude th...

It shouldn't be necessary to put a witness signature on the form. I have signed forms to pass rights to publishers, and they did not require witnesses. A contract is between two parties, but this form doesn't actually specify who the other party is. So you should put your name in there. Not that it ...

Pizza Bake-off

Recently Marionline, BMR and I agreed in IRC to a pizza baking competition. Anyone can join in. Post about your pizza. The prize is freshly baked pizza. Today I made two pizzas. The smaller one had a thicker base. * Asterisks indicate home grown/made ingredients * Pizza dough Olive oil Tomato puree ...

Hspeak 3Pe is the Beelzebufo version. (Nightly is 3Rg) Both nightly and Beelzebufo versions of plotscr.hsd have identical headers giving the version number as "3P ". Because of which, in fact either of them should compile without showing that error. Hang on, I've just remembered what the p...

Re: -=Help! Broken plotscr.hsd!=-

HSpeak ought to print more information about the problem... I have the most recent version of the OHRRPGCE and the most recent Hamsterspeak compiler By "most recent" do you mean Beelzebufo, or a nightly build? Note that if you are using Beelzebufo you shouldn't download a nightly build of ...

No I don't think it's possible to avoid. It's a bug which I actually hesitated to fix because over the years I think it's become expected behaviour. If there are a large number of hits but the enemy has already completed its death animation, should the attack keep hitting empty space? So at the same...

Topic: How does lowering the size of inventory effect current items
Replies: 4
Views: 648

Looking in to it, I'm quite surprised at how the "set inventory size" command works. The intended behaviour is that the items be deleted. Apparently if you decrease the inventory size then increase it then the items at the end will come back (based on reading the source, not testing). But ...

Could you please send us c_debug.txt immediately after encountering it, or c_debug_archive.txt, running with a nightly from the last few days?

That's a lot of redrawn sprites and overall a good improvement. In some places there are still things I would complain about, like strange shading choices (the scythe for example doesn't convey a blade very well). The shift to black outlines is quite a big stylistic shift. It trades realism for clar...

My guess is that it was a file IO problem, such as due to a harddisk problem.

Re: Plotscript: simulate a yes/no questio dialogue

After getting clarification in IRC, I think this is what was wanted. The check conditions in your original script are very complicated. I suggest writing the script in chronological order, and trying to check only one tag at a time. If you drew up a flow chart for the dialogue it would go "Have...
