Well, yikes. This is why need we need to carefully handle unicode input even if we don't actually support unicode text. I'm simultaneously surprised that Windows' mountains of backcompatibility layers didn't manage to hide the problem for non-unicode-aware programs, and not surprised that the OHR ma...

Here's one thread on the topic (I don't have anything new to say on the topic):

There's also a lot of information and suggestions on the wiki:

all I do know is that I have given the cube stuff in the past and SS private message thing says he's not even seen them yet Don't forget that (last I checked) the forum doesn't send people email when they receive a PM, so it's sometimes taken me over a month to notice PMs. Seriously tempted to brin...

Oh you're up to par; our standards are super low! If you submit patches which use the same indentation as the surrounding code, you'll already be ahead of the norm! (And I don't mind reviewing and fixing up patches.)

You know BMR, at some point you should stop trying to do crazy things to work around the engine's limitations and try modifying the engine instead!

Use the "Hide Health-meter in battle" general preference bitset (in the General Game Data menu). You can achieve some small amount of customisation by hiding the battle meters and then drawing some alternative (static) display directly on the backdrop itself. In future we're planning to al...

Actually Meow is right; those image files are really large, 1.3MB in total. I tried running them through pngcrunch, but only got about a 25% size reduction typically. (This just goes to show that .png is actually pretty lousy at compression. You're better off compressing raw bmp files in a zip or be...

Hey, hands off, these are my nominations!

(The theory is that if no nominations are seconded, then Mog will be forced to put all games with a single nomination on the poll.)

You can actually combine 'else' and 'if' into 'else if', but there's no such keyword as 'else then'. Aside from that, you are missing lots of begins and ends, or equivalently, ('s and )'s. Each 'then' and each 'else' must be followed either by ( or by ", begin". (If the begin is on a diffe...

I nominate whichever of the current two games doesn't win this month. I also nominate Village People: The Videogame, Timpoline, Okédoké, and Tower Of Heaven.

I will also automatically retract any nomination that anyone else seconds.

Good idea. I changed the door placement mode in the map editor so that you can select which door to place. Switching between different doors jumps to the location of the door if it exists.

Yes, you can hide and show layers with slice commands. I created an article on it (should get into the habit of doing that)

How do I hide or show a map layer?

Many people would be upset (and well within their right) if you took their game, made modifications, and uploaded it somewhere. On the other hand I see nothing wrong with distributing a patch to a game. I don't think I've seen anyone denounce (aside from preferring the original game) someone for rel...

Someone actually hit both the max hero definitions and the max heroes in the party limits without doing something silly? We could raise those limits. I don't foresee any particular problem doing so; I think it would just mean tiny changes in lots of places.

Ah, I mistakenly thought that wallcheck changed which walls it checked depending on the direction (eg. only east and west walls when the NPC is facing east). That's why I left the npcd argument in.
