Re: Abysm - my own BD inspired game

It works just fine! Haven't found anything "experimental" about the Linux version of your game. :) Very, very good game! Great atmosphere! Cool pixel art graphics! Generally very well done! Puzzles are not too hard, so it's both challenging and fun to play! Just reached the last level, but...

Re: Abysm - my own BD inspired game

Hello Renons, welcome to the R'n'D forum! :-) Yes, you have posted at the right place, I would say! And no, there's no problem with a little self-promotion if it's somehow related to BD style games. :-D I only was able to have a very quick look at your game "Abysm" so far, but it looks ver...

Re: in bd engine, can't set required gems to 0; it will automatically calculate the needed gems instead

In fact, this is intended behavior, because it is just how the original GDash BD engine works. :| As there is an explicit "automatically count gems needed" in the R'n'D level editor (which does not exists in the GDash level editor), this is especially confusing, unfortunately. :( This also...

Re: segfault on debian 12 if pressing up or down on "level set info", "level info", or "level story" pages with no info

Thank you for reporting this bug. Dereferencing null pointers has always been a bad idea... :shock: Fixed! :) BTW: There was another bug: When selecting a level set with a level with a level story and displaying this level story (in the info screen menu or by playing the level), then selecting a lev...

Re: How to draw a level sketch? Read on! :-)

Sorry for some days delay in approving your post! :-o All following posts should go through without the need of approval. Please let me know if you should need any help releasing your R'n'D levels and level sets! However, what you have written (creating a zip file with pictures, videos and the level...

Re: Solomon's key

I am not aware of any such level sets for R'n'D -- but I as I do not know the original game, I am afraid that I would not recognize such a level set for R'n'D if I see or play it. :?

Re: How to draw a level sketch? Read on! :-)

First of all, welcome to the R'n'D forum! :-) I have a stupid question. What's the point of level sketch if you can just upload your levels on the forum? It's just another option to post (and show) a level. For anything more complex (like changed element properties), just attaching the level itself ...

Re: Invalid links in Editor Tutorial

Holger, yes, those are the exact form I have them in :) Good to know! I wonder from where you got those files, as the Wayback Machine does not have them! :-o But I am happy that not all those R'n'D resources are lost (even if some of the files are missing)! Zomis collected a lot of interesting and ...

Re: Invalid links in Editor Tutorial

Holger, I think I've mentioned this before and offered to hand the pile of stuff off to you. If not (or if so!), I make that offer again... What I have are some 312 of the files from zomis.net, numbered from 3 to 733, plus metadata but not actual files of 56 more. Cannot remember, but I am definite...

Re: Invalid links in Editor Tutorial

I have those zomis.net artifacts (and many others), saved from somewhere , I'm not sure where, in mid-2022. Actually I think I got them from a session of manual ad hoc scraping from web.archive.org, but have only vague memories and circumstantial evidence to support this :) Oh, that's cool -- I tho...

Re: Invalid links in Editor Tutorial

Hi Vikits, sorry for this documentation being quite old (nearly 20 years old now), so some links to external resources may be (or are) outdated or invalid. As most of the documentation is still very useful, I have decided to keep it despite these issues. The two linked pages (with meta data) can sti...
