Help with Doors + Music

OK, I have noticed that using doors causes the current music to stop, then the default music gets loaded and the autorun script starts. (not necessarily in that order, i guess) I confirmed this with show value. This is kind of bad for my game. I use lots of doors that lead to maps with the same song...

Thanks to TMC's update to ohrgfx, I have resumed working on the game as Newbie continues to pump out graphics. The tiles in these screenshots are _not_ finalized, but this should show some of the progress, I think. Love all the variety in NPCs, myself. http://www.jsh.illuminative.org/motrya/ss1.png ...

I doubt it would attract any new users, honestly. Why not link to the game list, sorted by rating or something?

The battles are fine for a while, but Bob runs out of Level MP by the end of dungeons, leaving you with the option of fighting longer battles or running away, and it gets kind of old running. I guess if pressed I would say most of the enemies in the forest area have too much HP, too.

My only request is lower encounter rates.

Wait, I honestly don't understand. Is this a house without a roof? Otherwise why are there shadows on the inside? What are the outer brown tiles? Dead grass? Shouldn't top right corners be 'slanted'? The people in this part of the world in the game live in houses without floors and have plants grow...

Yeah, looks good. One thing bugs me, though: the shadows are completely wrong, and the color of the shadowed wall looks like completely different material than the rest of the wall. I'd rather see no shadows than weird shadows. Also, I hope that's a mockup because that is a really weird layout. Tra...

Yes, that is the method I would have used. There is a late-game Revive spell, though that has little to do with anything.

Sadly, this will require a certain plotscripting command to be added to the engine that does not exist yet, so it may be a late feature. This is only true if there's a way of reviving dudes and you don't want to give out the reward if dudes died and got revived. Everyone gets healed fully after bat...

I discussed it with TMC once, I believe. Not sure if it's on his "to-do" list or not. At first I had requested the "dead heroes get share of exp" bitset, which he kindly added to the nightly. But we also need a command to toggle this bitset ON or OFF (I know there are commands th...

Hi Momoka, The game is coming along pretty well. I have mostly been planning things that will happen after the first demo, as I have finished everything that needs to be done before graphics are necessary. When Newbie Power finishes the graphics, I would estimate a good 50% of the first demo will be...

I've acquired a new staff member: Newbie Power, on the graphics post! Things are still chugging along on this game, and I hope to get the demo done within a few months. Mostly done. Yeah. I have finished mapping, and text box fun is almost finished. Soon I might have some REAL screens of this game. ...

Motrya Development Journal

Hey guys I am making a game. It's about a boy named Murlor who is fixing to graduate from a magical academy. The trouble is, he's made it to his senior year without ever using any magic at all. Murlor discovers a secret about himself, and is thrust into an adventure when the academy is attacked by a...

Sadly my game won't be making this deadline, but I hope to get the first demo out this year. I haven't even scouted for a graphics man yet, which is something I really need. :/
