Rocks'n'Diamonds

Hi, I can check the list at the weekend, want to update some RND elements.

Hm, don't crash in rndTest325.
Don't know what the problem caused in normal RnD.
The memory leaks I removed are not in the game.

If you copy rndTest_jue0.exe to rndTest.exe
it should work with normal environment (graphic, sound) too.

Oh yeah, very dangerous caves.
Well done.

Oh, it depends on how many elements are inthe level.
Reason is that each element needs time in "code" to move, isn't it?

What have the "delay" to do with the leveltime?

Happy birthday!

Those are just different animation steps of Acid and Amoeba, right? If they are only animation steps, they should not added to any element list, because this handles each engine different. Eg. even the "falling" elements in LogicDeLuxe proposal are handled from most tools/engine as normal...

Maybe for clarity all elements that e.g. EM adds should be named EM_... , not just the overlapping ones.

Yes, this is the best way.
Except BD elements like "DIAMOND" as LogicDeLuxe said.

Please post it when you are ready with renaming,
so we can edit or add elements.

Hm, the RND_ID can change at any time, so we should take the "element_name"!!! Like as for Dave's engine or for other. I think Dave mean this in his last post. For the (old) engines its may be usefull to have the internal id, when it is sure that nobody delelop on it. Ok the internal id is...

Hi, I just upload "rndTest325-tc8" This edition can download from Zomis-Filearchiv within the normal menue. Special thanks to Zomis , who made some special php-scripts for easy select "all" or "levels" or "group". Load "all" entries: > rndTest_jue0 -...

Hi,
because they exists in RnD, some properties are usefull:
GraphicSet=
MusicSet=
SoundSet=

eg. GraphicSet=BD2K3
if not given default is used.

Steffest wrote: If memory serves me well, there are some EM caves that use the explosion object in designtime. E.g. it can be used to delay a falling boulder for 1 frame. But that would be an execption offcourse ... For the delay the elements have a delayed property, like "BOULDERfd" Whic...

Hi, I just upload "rndTest325-tc7" (NewYear-Edition) Develop on this is in progress! This edition have a BDCFF configurable native loader. File "bdcff.conf". So RND have a common readable fileformat, because you can set each RND element as item! Some levels of DX-Boulderdash01 in...
