Well as opposed to the way Chronoboy fixed it with "from __future__ import division", which causes division to behave in the Python 3 way, always doing floating point division even on integers.

The simple solution is to divide by 50.0 instead of 50.

A built-in import/export tool would be neat though, but I'm not sure how doable it would be. Besides and external tool already exists, so there might not really be much of a need for an internal one. tabulate.py will not be supported long term. Pretty much all the files it imports/exports to are pl...

OK, this is my fault. I wasn't happy with the way that the arrow keys switched between different targets in-battle, so I changed the way it worked. The new way is better in some ways and worse in others. I hadn't realised that it was that bad though. I had planned to try to improve it, or failing th...

James didn't notice that you used "NPC reference" incorrectly. It returns a reference to an existing NPC, but you placed the "npc cursor := NPC reference(0,0) " line before the "create NPC" line. Either you should swap the order of those lines, or just write "npc c...

Something like script, walk npc in bounds, direction, begin variable (x, y) x := npc x(npc cursor) y := npc y(npc cursor) switch (direction) do( case(left) x -= 1 case(right) x += ...

There is a tool for importing and exporting data from/to spreadsheets, though it is crude: tabulate.py . I'm 90% sure that it still works with Beelzebufo, though the Windows .zip is out of date. Also it won't be supported long term. A built-in table view of enemies and other things would obviously b...

You can't read from other maps. And it seems like you may run out of global variables if you want a large world or lots of chunk templates. A kludge is to store data in strings instead, since those have no length limit.

Supporting NPCs would seem to be tricky though.

Zones are basically half finished, they're not meant to require scripting in order to actually do anything. I actually had not thought about allowing zones to act as conditional walls, but it's something we would want to support since you would otherwise use a line of invisible NPCs. NPC movement an...

Heroes can't level if they hit either the maximum level or the level cap. Both can be set in the Stat Caps menu. Also, the level cap can be changed with the "set level cap" command. Have you changed one of those accidentally?

Yes you are right that the script cross-referencing is more complicated since scripts are referenced from lots of places. NPCs aren't, but items are: textboxes, NPCs, shops, hero default weapon and learn-from-item, attacks, enemies, at least. Also there's little hope of sharing any code between the ...

Well, those are several different things, all different from the type of chunk system we were talking about before. I partially disagree, and think editing a chunk-based map would be more difficult and less flexible than doing so using a collection of 'stamps' (cloned brushes), which is what I want ...

Sure. I've actually been wondering lately whether to add that to the new graphic editor (to-be-written), or just tell people to use live previewing. Being able to see nearby tiles instead would be a nice feature.

I think harmtiles are pretty common in OHR games. Spoonweaver has a good point, they are annoying: I always go to the trouble of calculating the amount of damage they're doing. Also yeah, I have in the past used the extra wallmap bits (A, B, H, and even O with overhead tiles disabled) as a substitut...

(Also, if you make other modifications to the map which you want to preserve you can use savemapstate and loadmapstate.) Firstly just answering your for loop question, pretty simple (a 15x9 rectangle): for (x, top left x, top left x + 14) do ( for (y, top left y, top ...
