Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

I love this feature with color, can you make it for all other Engines? Example Rocks´n`Diamonds, Supaplex etc., not only for Boulder Dash. Currently only the BD engine supports it, but it shouldn't be too hard to add it to all other engines, too. After all, it's more of a graphics set feature and h...

Re: rocks'n'diamonds Documents cannot work

Looks like you have deleted or renamed your R'n'D documents directory.

(On Windows, it's this one: "Rocks’n’Diamonds" in your "Documents" folder)

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

If i click on set random colors, Amoeby color is only green, Sand, Stell, Wall have different colors. Slime is only blue orblue with purple. C64 Colors: Sand and Slime have same color and Wall and Amoeba have same colors. Yes, that's how the random color selection algorithm works when using the &qu...

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

Why is the Amoeba only green, why not other colors? example yellow Amoeba. What graphics set are you talking about here exactly? Please be a bit more specific, so my answer can be shorter! :-) Without more details, this could be either of the following three: Case 1: The R'n'D classic graphics for ...

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

when a level is switched to use the BD engine, ideally player 1 should be replaced with "inbox with player" and not the standalone "player" effect Definitely sounds reasonable. In fact, it already works the other way round: If you change a BD style level to use the R'n'D engine,...

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

I change it on no.
Just a quick note on the "override graphics/sounds/music" options: Setting them to "auto" means "use the selected artwork set unless the selected level set has its own artwork set defined; if so, use that one instead". :)

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

do you have "override level graphics" set to Yes? Yes When I see your last screenshot, I assume you have changed it to either "no" or "auto". :-) Quick Load Game from Tape does not work, if i click on F2, its start a new game. Quoting myself from an earlier post in thi...

Re: "load the rest of these levels later" key

Yes... this is a good example of something that was no issue for a long time (only a few dozen level sets in R'n'D), but at some time cannot be ignored anymore (several large level collections, namely the large EMC and BD collections with hundreds of level sets each, causing really noticeable loadin...

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

Thanks for the screenshot! That explains it. This is the default R'n'D graphics set which does not support level specific colors. If you install the GDash level collection (see link in BD forum), select any level set from that collection and use "game graphics style: old" in the setup menu...

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

something interesting: if i make a new level in the BD engine with the default settings (200ms game cycle delay, PAL timing off), then the game runs a little bit slower than it would in the EM or RND engines. but if i set the game cycle delay to 166ms (1/6th of a second instead of 1/5th of a second...

If i change Colors for the level, save it and play the level, does nor work, level have old colors. This is something which I have to make more clear in the level editor: The custom colors are only used in the BD engine when used together with a custom color enabled graphics set. You can easily tes...

Re: First pre-release of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

out of curiosity: do you plan to port some of the new BD objects to the RnD engine eventually? Perfectly valid and to-be-expected question, as I did exactly that with all previous native game engines (other than the MirrorMagic/Deflektor engine, which is not a BD/EM etyle engine). All game elements...
