Those commands are for measuring time intervals. There are no commands for changing the frame rate. We want to make the frame rate customisable soon however. May or may not happen for the next release. In the meantime you can change the frame in-game using the Ctrl + and Ctrl - debug keys. Oh, I se...

https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/449711244254015488 At 18fps you'll end up with annoying flashing, but if you use indexing plus flickering (as you said) it could be a useful effect. By which I mean display half of the pixels each frame. You might even try making it flicker at less than 18fp...

Not a bad idea, but I think the OHRRPGCE's frame rate is too slow for this to really work. Stuff that flickers every 1 tick still looks like flashing colors, not like transparency Hmm. Is there no way of making the rate of flicker faster using coding. I recall there was some millisecond and microse...

***I copied and pasted this from another post of mine since I think it will be more useful for people to find here as it's own topic. A Workaround for Transparency??? I just had this idea which may or may not work to create a "pseudo-transparency effect." I did not test this out, but may ...

@TMC: Oh, and I just noticed the sprite rotation in the image you uploaded, looks nice. So far I have found a workaround for that in my game. I'm just rotating my sprites in photoshop using Nearest-Neighbour then importing them in to my game as animation frames. Tedious but I don't use it too freque...

Please return as you were, asking for small, simple HotOHR bugfixes and features. Return as I were? I think almost all of my feature requests to date have been those which are large-scale and laborious, haha. But I'll leave you alone about the transparency thing. It's just nice to know that somethi...

If this feature is ever considered, I also think it would be best if there was an option to make the 1x1 pixel, lighten the pixel below it too. I'm quite amused. You missed that the main reason for moving to a higher bitdepth is that we can add alpha transparency. Also, what you described are addit...

Well this video was originally meant to show off a coding error but it has just been resolved. Seeing as how I put in all the effort of making this video anyways, I think it should also be shared to show my latest progress. Note: The textboxes seen in this video are purely filler and just meant to g...

Wow, I tend to do this a lot... I just resolved my own problem. The problem was me failing to use my "embiggen now" script after the "create NPC" script. Since the NPC was not embiggened, he took on the undrawn form of the walkabout sprite which corresponds to the hero #. Still t...

Thanks for the troubleshooting tips, but after performing both methods of finding the problem I am still at a loss to understand what is occurring. First I checked how many copies of the NPC existed for each case. In both cases my screen displayed "1." Next I changed this portion of my scr...

Wouldn't be easiest of all to just make the "Godzilla" slice collection, load it up and then parent it to the "text box box" after a tick or two's wait time? lookup slice(sl:textbox box) Sounds like a legitimate solution and easiest as far as slices go. T...

I'm having this weird problem and can't figure it out. I have 2 scripts, each of which are run when you step on an NPC (NPC #12, and NPC #13). On the map, NPC #12 is placed directly above NPC#13. Depending on which of these NPCs the character steps on, a slightly different script will be run. Here's...

Both ways sound good to me. I'll give them a try later on. I may go with Spoons way just so I can retain the text-scrolling effect, then interrupt it with the backdrop.

Doing this with scripts involving slices is a cake walk.

So I'd basically have to have textbox slice which would be set to appear at a certain screen (x,y). Do you know if there's any tutorials of this?

I want to create overlapping textboxes so that I can make an "interruption" from one textbox to the next. An example of what I mean: |‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾&a...
