Rocks'n'Diamonds

Merry Christmas everybody!

Too many relatives & youngsters hanging around here to spend my time playing, but I couldn't miss giving my best wishes to the whole RnD community today, may all of your dreams come true!

Have a wonderful day,
Francesco

Hello everybody, nice to see the forum up and running again. During the time I've been away - far longer than the forum's downtime - I've been doing some 3D stuff with Anim8or and continued studying programming. I'm happy to have come back, I'll try to get a grip on the latest news in the RnD world....

Yes, just tried that pitch thing and it sounds quite funny!

Unfortunately, it seems I've just one voice-pack installed (changing the voice doesn't seem to make any difference, hence...)

I've just discovered that Firefox is able to display those graphics, while IE6 is not.
I think that's the problem, I'd have to update my IE...

Hi Alan, very nice game, it must be said, and yes, the algorithm is really simple and effective. The sounds are effective too, and quite fun to hear. I wonder if it is possible to change the voice that spells them out. One single outpoint: I cannot really see the graphics. I see only a bunch of red ...

Nice to see other C++ and VB coders here.

Keep on coding and playing RnD, and absolutely try your best to have fun while studying or working - otherwise it could become a real nightmare

You're welcome, Lee. About "hacking" RnD, I must admit that my documentation is quite poor about conf files and styiling in general. Nonetheless, I take the occasion to publicize it once more. You can find the documentation in the RnD website. At the end of the Editor Tutorial (which is st...

You can find the list into the file "conf_snd.c", in the "src" folder of RnD.

About your specific issue, I'm sorry but I have no clue (almost never used custom sounds in my sets).

Hi Gavin, welcome back to the forum. I'm happy you posted this question. This is a thing I've asked for before - a "change when stuck" condition - or just like you said, change when surrounded. I hope this will be added sooner or later, it should already be on Holger's todo list, if I reca...

Some users, also, make roller-coaster like me, appearing and disappearing every now and then ;-) But "Welcome!" to all the new forum members: even if you might be not actively contributing, I hope you keep dropping in to read once in a while, as I did in the last months. By the way, there ...

Buon Natale! (in Italian)
Bona Paskiggedda! (in Sardinian )

A wish and a purpose for the new year:
the purpose is about setting apart more time for RnD,
the wish... I won't tell

Hi Gokuu,
you can find additional levelsets in the official site of RnD:
http://www.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds/levels.html

Once downloaded, you have to unpack the levels into a folder in your RnD installation. You can find more details in the documentation, reachable from the site linked above.

Oh, I wish I read this reply before... I downloaded Jue's RnD, but in any case it is really worth the waiting - I started lerning to play Sobigo, quite challenging and fun. So now it's all right. I tried your rndTest - by the way, thank you for the credits! I'll have to update the documentation, to ...

Got some problem. I unpacked RnD324 in a folder, then I added the content of rndTest325-tc2. Launching rndTest.exe I get this: rndTest.exe: warning: cannot open configuration file 'C:\Documenti\R'n'D jue\setup.conf' rndTest.exe: warning: using default setup values rndTest.exe: warning: cannot open c...

All of my best wishes Holger!
You made a very nice site, not to speak about the subject!
Best congratulations to both authors
