Slime Salad

I remembered that James wrote a utility long ago, LUMPFIX.EXE. I tried running THEOMEGA.RPG through it, and to my surprise it did a better job than my utility, managing to recover the missing map 25 file.

Great. But are you planning to focus on anything in particular? Since it's such an ambitious goal maybe it's best to try to get some useful portion finished first, such as enemies.

I have been filling in details. It turns out that the majority of the games on the spreadsheet so far have been entered into at least one contest! Perhaps rereleases for Gameathon and HotOHR contests aren't interesting though.

I am thinking of trying to use bitbucket or a similar service to host the .rpgdir during development. I am curious how usable it would be for a collaboration OHR project. I heard from Bob that some things might be tricky, since the GEN file stores the record counts. I'll do a few tests and see what...

Wow that's a lot of games to sort through; we almost need a second spreadsheet for it, to see what's already been excluded. Another place to look is http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Category:Games According to http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Game:Final_Fantasy_H-2 FFH-2 isn't complete...

If I had access to an iOS device, I would be busy porting the OHR to it! I haven't actually ever used my phone as anything other than phone, alarm clock, or development platform. I never got around to playing any games.

There were 58 pages of games on CP marked as complete. I only looked through the first 8 or so pages. But many of them were abandoned demos which the authors did not intend to finish. Also, any games with no reviews (the majority) were sorted to the end of the list, so I didn't see them. A couple of...

I like that suggestion too. I think it would be safe. Recently I suggested that we should add a "set party" command which sets all party slots at once set party(find hero(hero:Blossom), find hero(hero:Bubbles), find hero(hero&...

Thoughts: -There will be a menu for importing and exporting maps/map data eventually (it's already half finished), including, I hope, import from a BMP minimap image -We could add more advanced tools to the map editor like random heightmap or coastline generation, and random placement of saved brush...

Building a list of such games has been suggested several times, but I think this is the first time anyone has actually done it! But what do you mean by "full length"? I don't consider Ortega Colonies complete. It has an ending, but I still want to go back to it sometime and add more conten...

Use NPC reference s to refer to individual NPCs. When you use an NPC type ID for commands like that, it refers to the first NPC with that type ID number. variable (npc 1, npc 2) npc 1 := npc reference (23, 0) # first ID 23 npc npc 2 := npc reference &a...

I've never used a cellphone app that used any of those inputs, but a 'shake' or single valued return doesn't sound very useful. Why not return the 3D input with new script commands "accelerometer(axis)" and "gyroscope(axis)"? We could also optionally map those down to additional ...

I doubt I have much else of interest. Probably several half finished games that people sent me which were never released and which noone has ever heard of, which I wouldn't really want to upload anywhere. A dozen different versions of each of Sword of Jade and Powerstick Man. Most the OHR games I ha...

Yeah, I admit that makes perfect sense. I was just being difficult/idealistic in arguing that the animation speed should be a property of a sprite, not of an NPC. Come to think of it, that's wrong, for the same reason that different NPCs can have different movement speeds.

The speed of the walk in place animation really needs to be customisable (movement speed does not affect it). It would be an easy feature to add, but last time it came up we didn't agree on how it should work. A global setting? Per NPC type? Per walkabout set*? *related to the plan for custom sprite...
