Argh! That's extremely strange because very little has changed since August 16th, and certainly no changes to anything related to audio. I think someone recently mentioned that music (just MIDI I think?) would stop looping shortly before the program crashed. Does the music loop when you play it in C...

The first argument of "create NPC" should be an NPC ID number, not an NPC reference. That won't work. That's because it acting on any existing NPC; it's creating a new one. Write just create NPC (6, 14, 3) As you wrote it, your script will actually either do nothing at all ...

I actually thought it was intentional. I hope it's animated like the delightful trees in The Fox and Eighty-Six!

By a menu with an active mouse, I meant the map editor or one of the sprite/tile editors. I'm out of ideas as to the cause. I would try creating a special build that times lots of stuff (but it'll have to be later, as I don't have a Windows dev machine at the moment), or otherwise interrupt it rando...

An important thing to remember about fades is that unlike other palette manipulation commands, they happen instantaneously, and unlike other commands that take some time to complete, fades effectively freeze time, and happen all on a single tick, even though they seem to take many ticks. To clarify...

Does game.exe use 100% CPU usage when it happens? There are two major low-level differences between Game and Custom: audio and mouse input. Can you produce the same problem in Custom by changing focus from menus where the mouse is active, or in the Import Music menu? I have never seen any problem wi...

I had made a few notes, mostly whipping myself into a slimegasm over the party creation system and pointing out a handful of curious design choices (some may be contributed to using the .rpg file instead of the .exe.) What does that mean? You think you ran into bugs in the game and/or bugs in the e...

Thanks for the help. It turns out that if the vehicle shadow UI colour is 0, then the shadow is invisible. You can work around it by using some other black in the master palette. I implemented the same workaround as a "fix".

So you don't have any other vehicle problems remaining, right?

It can easily just be me, but I'm getting a bit of confusion as to what's taller than what, and it can be contributed to those walls. On that note, the stairs bug me too, because they are physically impossible. Looks like an Escher. Just a nitpick. And I don't want to just straight up copy Mogri's ...

If you are using a stable release, you should read the copy of plotdictionary.html that came with the version you are using, not the plotdict.xml linked from the wiki. Maybe I need to increase the font size on that note. You shouldn't call "reseed random". It's not harmful in this script, ...

Wow! This mostly is looking very nice. Love those stone walls. Last time I commented I think I complained about low density, but it looks like that's no problem here. The things that stick out: Firstly, you still haven't fixed the perspective on the tops of the barrels! The rooftop tiles and especia...

Hadn't heard of Recettear so went to play the demo. Is the RPG portion largely for collecting ingredients, or is it more of the focus (I would guess so, based on those screenshots, not to mention the contest theme). Nifty spell learning system.

The concept also sounds pretty similar to Entrepreneur!

Hmm, I still can't reproduce it. Would you be willing to email me your game so I can have a look?

Also, I forgot to ask exactly which version you're using (though as long as it's Alectormancy or newer it shouldn't matter).

Nothing (well, not much) to do with tilemap layers. In the General Map Settings menu is a "Walkabout Layering" option to change how NPCs and heroes are layered.
