Rocks'n'Diamonds

For the records: The sound problems are partially solved with the latest Emerald Mine Club level collection 3.2.0 . I'm currently working on a new, native EM sound engine which should solve the remaining sound differences to the original game (including bug and spaceship/tank sounds). These improvem...

Just a little note that the Krissz BD cave collection package for R'n'D was recently updated.

Find more details in this post in the BD forum!

Shame on me ... this is one of the setup settings that definitely needs an explanation, and the corresponding documentation on this is not "bad", but "non-existing at all". :( Older (well, very old) versions of R'n'D only had "yes" and "no" for the "overr...

OK, a patched new version 4.4.1.3 is available now -- hope it works better now!

A new patch release is required to fix a terrible bug in the Windows version that prevents the program from saving important game data, which affects all new installations of the game on Windows.

The fixed package is available from the download page!

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this bug!

You could try making those yourself. But in normal operation, the game would have done this automatically, so something is definitely wrong. Yes, you're right, that would indeed solve the problem here. So if you cannot wait to start playing, Roger, this would work. :) The file 'artworkinfo.cache' i...

Thank you for the detailed information, and for the archive of your R'n'D folder -- it was in fact very helpful! And I was indeed able to reproduce the problem using my Windows 10 VM, and after some debugging I found the root cause of this issue! The problem is limited to the Windows platform, but a...

Done.

A part of this thread was split/moved to a new topic.

Seriously, I think it's best if the curation is done by myself, of course (with regard to that partially outdated list of level packages as used by the Debian/Ubuntu post-install script you described in your related post (that I still want to comment, too)). Creating the whole "Levels & Art...

Given that, can I ask / recommend that a write-up and set of pointers also be added to the main RnD Levels & Artwork page? It's currently not that ideal, I know. I have answered some more in a private mail to you. Actually on a related matter, I wonder if your own files with embedded version nu...

R'n'D uses "SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_PERSONAL, ...)" for the Windows platform, which results in "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" (with "%USERPROFILE%" itself expanding to the user's home directory). The final path for the directory where R'n'D stores its program data files ...

Hello Roger, first of all, welcome to the R'n'D forum! :) May it be possible that Windows 11 has decided to not let ordinary programs write to the login user's "Documents" folder? Because, I know that I do not follow the recommended way to store program data on the Windows platform. When f...
