Slime Salad

Hehe, neat. I've actually done the opposite, storing sprites as tilemaps (for the DoomRPG flames intro), as well as storing maps in strings (for Blockworks). If you're going to be storing stuff in strings, you should use some code to create them. For example you could draw a map in the editor, write...

I would wait before playing it; SoJ has always had a reputation for exposing lots of engine bugs, and it's at it again. More garbage attack data seems to have snuck into the game during upgrade process, and I wouldn't declare everything clear until we figure out exactly what garbage was added.

Why?

Nobody said the voting was over! TheSuperAmazingBlueBallGame: 5 Great fun, nice polish (music fades, remembered high scores, etc), entry out of left field. Double Pumping: 2 Multiplayer was a clever addition. I did enjoy this, for a few seconds. Simple: 0 Failed to make the obvious Never Go West ref...

Nightlies are built automatically, twice a day, I think. The fix for that bug is available already. You are using Beelzebufo already, it just isn't official! Unless you mean you'll stick with Zenzizenzic and adapt your script. Writing scripts in a way that's known to break in later engine versions i...

Oh! I see what's going on. You're using Alectormancy, but there are improvements to the way that things are drawn to the screen in the latest version. It turns out that in Alectormancy if you show a backdrop nearly nothing else except textboxes and menus are displayed. I hadn't even realised that th...

No, don't do that, it'll break when you switch to Beelzebufo.

I like your graphics actually; the town looks very nice! Heh, you forgot to turn on the "Allow gameplay and scripts" bitset. This bitset is by far the most annoying and troublesome feature of customisable menus. I did notice I made a mistake in the script: the last "free slice (sl)&qu...

I think you misunderstood why I put three brackets there That was to close off the three nested "else" statements. You've removed the rest of the loop, including the wait command, which was crucial. I guess I should have indented properly. But in fact there was no need for me to use nested...

It appears that you've discovered a bug, though not the one that you think you have. "map cure" is meant to check if it the whole party is dead and if so run the death script. (much poking around...) Oh dear, this is a really serious bug. For the last 18 months, including Alectormancy, che...

Looking at the source, I see that the difficulty (speed of obstacles spawning) increases linearly up to the 129 point mark, and then increases by a factor of 6 and stays that way.

And in case you haven't seen it, there is a tutorial for slices on the wiki.

An MMORPG with actual role playing?

I've also played a lot of Wesnoth in the past, but not in the last year or two. And a lot of roguelikes. Most recently Nethack 4, Cataclysm, and a little Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

One open source game which I've heard a lot of praise for lately is OpenTTD.

James fixed the infinite shop stock bug two weeks ago. It had been present since (and including) Zenzizenzic. It affected shops only on the second attempt at the game and onwards (either quitting to the title screen and restarting, or loading a save in the middle of a game). It made all the stocks f...

Hi, welcome! Firstly, yeah, I'd like to see a much more comprehensive list of example scripts on the wiki. Lots of useful scripts get posted to the forums and then forgotten because of the extra work that creating an article is. "Read through the plotscripting dictionary" is no longer as g...
