Rocks'n'Diamonds

Holger has the code already and permission to convert it under GPL. My old engine was written in Pascal. Besides this, After finishing the Crazy Light Tools on the C64, I plan to write a new engine from scratch, probably using SDL, so it can be easily ported. ...Holger is very occupied at the momen...

Hi LogicDeLuxe,
as far as I know, you wrote a BD engine for RnD (or a part of)
If you send me the code (with related stuff) I can try to integrate it in RnD.

Hi LogicDeLuxe, for the BDCFF format you mentioned here No, it's not. Take a look here: http://www.gratissaugen.de/erbsen/bdcff.html are there any levels out? Are all elements possible in RnD? One question to BDCFF Is a falling element have any difference to a normal element placed on this position?...

Hi, need your help. I convert the original BD levels in this way: (in RndTest) (bd description in comment) el = EL_BD_ROCK; /* boulder */ el = EL_BD_DIAMOND; /* diamond */ el = EL_BD_MAGIC_WALL; /* magic wall */ el = EL_BD_WALL; /* brick wall */ el = EL_STEELWALL; /* steel wall */ el = EL_BD_EXPANDA...

Indeed!
Where are my eyes.
My only excuse is that I don't know that a EM-Cave have a width of 64.
Very good example what a linear loop can do.
Sorry for my mistake.

Only again to mentioned:
In the array the 128 is not set! (or only set for a short time)
It is always overwritten with 101.
Because the second loop do the replacement again.

- new objects would include a description of their behaviour, or a link to more info, so an editor wouldn't have to actually trace down a compatible player that knows the new object to get an understanding of what the object does. HerzAusGold: you're right that a common levelformat is not entirely ...

Hi, I'm in good mood, so I just upload rndTest325-tc5.

Now with native BD4 loader

Demo levels included.

Special thanks to Dave for his help.

Have fun.

for(i = 64; i < 2048; i++) if(emc[i] == 63) emc[i - 64] = 128; for(i = 64; i < 2048; i++) if(emc[i] == 63) emc[i - 64] = 101; for(i = 0; i < 36; i++) emc[i + 2048] = map_v4[bd4[i + 2149]]; /* eaters */ *Edit* Hm, this works on Linux? --> Off course On VisualC it ends up in an infinity loop. --> But...

Hi, I'm post a tought "...let's RnD output the level in XML" But only for the tools (for RnD). A common level format is not possible I think. Some clone have e.g. a earthquake which throw boulder from steelwalls... So all have it's special effects. I try to write native loader's for BD (ni...

Just upload rndTest325-tc4

Hi,
It seems you are very familiar with BD.
Can you please try my native loader in RnD-Test.
(some levels included)
Please check it and write your suggestions.
Can I use your grafics for the next release of RnD-Test ?

Just upload rndTest325-tc3.zip. This release can handle both versions "R'n'D jue" and the normal "Rocks'n'Diamonds" version. "rndTest_jue0.exe" handle the "R'n'D jue" version. Unzip it to a RnD324 folder. Copy "rndTest_jue0.exe" to "rndTest.exe&...

Hi can you upload some levels to
Zomis filearchiv http://www.zomis.net/rnd/
?

I see the description in your code, but
do have a more detailed description about the format?

Your prog convert BD4 to EM-V6 format?
Is it than playable by any EM-prog? Which?

How many levels exists with this format?
