Re: "force solving levels" vs "allow skipping levels"
It would be a lot less confusing to make these into a single user interface setting with >2 values (doesn't matter whether these are then internally translated into the current 2 settings or not): Skipping levels [menu]: - no, solve in order - ask before skipping - skip around freely ... or whatever...

Re: glitch screen
... and I think the status quo is pretty much just fine. If hundreds of bugs per week were being reported, things would be different. People occasionally mention something. The dev team (of one) address them when he gets to them. There is no benefit to adding extra formalisms to Holger's process unl...

Re: glitch screen
(1) I don't think you should get rid of the bugzilla instance unless it's active trouble to maintain. (2) the suggestions about automatic updating of comments on a bug thread here seem ... unwise. Like they would be really hard to get right, a lot of trouble to maintain, and full of exceptions and t...

Re: confedit is not working
Holger, Don't remove it. Just change the metadata around it, make it clear to the downloader that it's a tool that only works on old-Windows and with old-RnD (whatever cutoff version, if anyone makes the effort to determine the cutoff). That leaves it available for people interested in various sorts...

Re: Stuck on extra level in R 'n' D jue II
I offer this speculation. At this point I don't even remember if I've ever played this levelset, but by eye I see something that **might** have the key to the solution. If you set off a bomb type device next to the blue box, it seems to me that the resulting yellow emeralds would have the behavior w...

Re: "git clone" on R'n'D repo slow?
Ok! My current tree is origin'd to your artsoft.org site and I don't see any reason to change it, I was just curious about observed behaviors :) A fresh clone from github for me takes 4.66 seconds, indicating that my pathetic desktop i3-4170 is nevertheless somehow beefier than whatever your patheti...

Re: "git clone" on R'n'D repo slow?
We're paying for 300Mbps symmetric, but AT&T are actually delivering 360Mbps symmetric (go figure!) ... yet I just ran another `time git clone https://git.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds.git` and -- well, this time it only took 209.49 seconds, but that's still pretty darn slow... You mentioned a gith...

"git clone" on R'n'D repo slow?
(In very closely related news, I ran a new `git clone` on your repository, wondering if there was some damage causing my differences -- before I realized the need to `make`. And that clone is still running, very very slowly. I re-cloned a completely unrelated, twice-as-big repo (from github) as a cr...

Re: HaG@HaG
Hmmm, a new `git pull` pulls nothing else, leaving me at commit f627531aca2f234261cff93f0240a3224f50191d 'version number set to 4.3.6.0'. Diffing that with the downloaded 4.3.6.0 tarball gets similar differences -- until I `make`. The downloaded tarball includes some build output files and I apparen...

but I cannot find your source code in it -- not my code, I was just doing web archaeology :) Not sure which source code you compared with which other source code here... :? Hmmm.

Holger -- the links aren't that obvious on the page.

Re: How to create custom graphics: The basics
I meant to say: while it might be a little obscure, all sorts of stuff on Linux still uses ~/.whatever. They can't be even slightly serious Linux users without becoming familiar with that. If it throws them, it's because no matter what you offered would throw them.

Re: How to create custom graphics: The basics
Regarding the 'correct' directory for per-app data: don't change it, that just means future decades of confusion between the old and the new... You're right that ~/.whatever is a little bit obscure. But ~/.config/whatever is no better, and ~/Documents/whatever is just wrong here! And using Rocks'n'D...
