Re: Clicking action... seems to not change animation?

... and another one: About the anim, yeah, just noticed that as well, and not only that, pretty much all other anims disappear as soon as you move to another folder in levelset list. I assume the problem might be that game potentially forgets the level number once you move to another folder... Oh wa...

Re: Clicking action... seems to not change animation?

It's strangely specific, but I just noticed how in this levelset the custom pointer I did doesn't 'click' on most of screens for some reason. Well, this one is easy: You have defined a global animation to recolor the screen border for each different level number, and this global animation has the s...

Re: Global anim starts from non-first part

Oh well... after some testing around with your test level set (nice main screen, by the way ;-) ), I know what's going in here. And yes, the observed behaviour in this case is indeed unexpected, and to be honest, it looks like buggy behaviour in most use cases. :( The thing is that the ".draw_o...

Re: Clicking action... seems to not change animation?

I have to check both cases... I think it's both by intention (sort of), but not working as it should. (Global animations probably disabled on level set screen, because loading new artwork here (but should not result in invisible pointer), and clicking pointer style global animations might also be bu...

Re: Tile cursor renders over global animations

Well, kinda, I meant with both '.draw_masked: false' and 'draw_masked: true'.
Yes, works with both settings.

Re: Clicking action... seems to not change animation?

Very strange! I cannot reproduce this -- the custom pointer in your level set works as expected for me. That is, I can click everything just as with the unmodified pointer. However, I noticed that it is invisible on some level selection screens (but still can click). Will have to check what's going ...

Re: Tile cursor renders over global animations

Just out of curiosity, how well does it work with both '.draw_masked:' parameters?
You mean, using both ".draw_masked" and ".alpha"? Works just as expected! :)

Re: Force centering if the window is too big

Indeed this was handled differently in earlier versions: When changing the window size due to custom artwork with different window viewport size, the window was closed and re-opened again, being centered on the desktop again. This had the potentially negative or unwanted side effect that if you plac...

Re: Tile cursor renders over global animations

Thanks for reporting this bug which I was easily able to reproduce. In fact, this bug must be quite old, as I could not find an older version where this worked. :shock: Apparently this does not work anymore since I introduced using textures to display the request dialog, which apparently was quite s...

Re: Empty space in EM engine... + something else

Cool workaround, but I should fix this "the right way".

BTW: Does it really work? The "empty tiles" global animation will cover the laser beam, won't it? :?

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.3.7.1 released!

All that new "global animations triggered by custom elements" stuff introduced by 4.3.7.0 and 4.3.7.1 definitely needs some tutorial level set to show how it works! I will try to add one here as soon as possible! :)

Re: Trying out some things from the update (not all yet)

Hey, that's cool trickery using the new ".anim_mode: level_nr" feature!

Didn't know that it could be used also for the screen border! :-o :-)

Update: OK, it's done using global animations, too -- I should have known. :D
