Although a bit late, this patch will be in the next version, with a few additional enhancements: * Ctrl-c will copy the current level (or brush, if selected) into the clipboard. * Ctrl-v will copy a level sketch from the clipboard into the current level (or brush, if active). So you can easily copy ...

Great to hear that R'n'D is now running fine on your system! I hope that the SDL2 libraries will soon be updated on Ubuntu to versions that do not have these strange DBUS problems, but I'm afraid that this won't happen very soon. :-/ There is only one detail: There is no background music. ... Unreco...

Is this a modified version of RnD that contains these enhancements? Where can it be downloaded from please? You don't need a different version of R'n'D, just the level set Eizzoux created. Can't wait to actually try some of this... The level set is attached at the end of Eizzoux's post, just downlo...

The issue here is that global animations are displayed within the playfield area by default, so they get clipped outside. This can be changed using the following additional directives in your graphics config: global.anim_1.TITLE.class: window global.anim_2.TITLE.class: window global.anim_3.TITLE.cla...

Wow, that's impressive use of graphics configuration tricks!

BTW: The second one only works really well with the following little bug fixed in "graphicsinfo.conf": Replace "global.forced_scroll_delay_value" with "game.forced_scroll_delay_value".

Well done!

SETUP -> GAME & MENU -> GAME SPEED/EXTENDED SPEED... The order of these two should be reversed? EXTENDED SPEED then GAME SPEED, or better just have one GAME SPEED menu with everything in it. The intended order is "normal settings first, advanced settings following after it". The reason for being ab...

ctrl-1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 always seem to select one of the speed choices. (Hitting one of them twice puts you back to 'normal' speed, I believe whatever you configured in Setup > Game & Menu > Game speed.) But ctrl-2, 3, 4, 5 seem different. 2, 4 and 5 sometimes do the speeds, and sometimes the tape fu...

In versions <= 4.1.0.0. 'keyboard button 3' could be used as a slow motion toggle. Hmm, this should only work when the program was compiled with DEBUG defined in the Makefile (which is usually not the case with release versions). So either there is a bug in my packaging script, or you have used one...

This error message comes from SDL_image, complaining that it cannot load PNG images. This is most likely caused by a missing PNG library (libpng) on your system. The solution should be to install the PNG library and header files from the systems package manager (should be something like "apt install...

Hello mrcoar, welcome to the forum! :-) Regarding the problem you described, I have no idea at all what might cause this -- R'n'D does not actively use that D-Bus library in any way (in fact, I just had to ask Google what the heck this might be). :-o The only thing I could think of is that R'n'D use...

OK, I've changed the image format for the EMC collection from PCX to PNG. Interesting result: This increases the size of the resulting 7zip archive (from ~20 MB to ~25 MB)! The reason is apparently that re-compressing already compressed files with a strong compression algorithm (like 7zip's LZMA alg...

Good point -- didn't think of that!

This should be easy to accomplish when I update the EMC collection, as all stuff is automatically created by a script anyway.

Thank you for reminding me of this issue!

OK, I've debugged and fixed this case (which indeed existed in two different artwork sets). And found another (minor) bug which affects "Forgotten Mine 2" (which used the same (AGA) artwork for ECS and AGA mode). I hope I will manage to release an update to the Emerald Mine Club collection soon ... ...

By "loading a tape", I assume you mean loading a saved game by pressing F2. Regarding case 1 and 2: Unfortunately, reloading a saved game snapshot over the network is currently not supported, and just leads to replaying the game in local team mode, not network team mode -- that's the reason why you ...
