Re: Two-layered sprites + Oversized elements

Well, you can see in the levelset I sent that the third level has it's own background color. I just added "empty_space.template_color: true" (although from what I see, template_color, much like tile_size, seems to affect the entire texture, which means all sprites in RocksSP will be colora...

Two layers of acid

1. Game graphics that have a different (in most cases: larger) size than the size defined as ".tile_size". Yeah, we already figured we can do custom animations with global anims with alpha and stuff, just not exactly the ones that follow around player or react to anything unrelated to CEs...

Expanding on the two-layered sprite idea

Considering the fact that now the game got sprite tinting, there can be quite a few cases where you'd need to have a sprite have a part of it be color 1 and other a color 2, or maybe one part a color 1 and other without color tinting... In other words, I feel like we have another reason to have an o...

Better Game Elements menu for R'n'D in general

To be real, over time R'n'D got dozens more of elements which the game only describes in editor. I feel like, overall elements info list should be updated, and possibly have exclusive ones for all classic levels (for now we only have EM, DF, MM and I guess now this BD one). Well, of course it doesn'...

[4.4.0.4] About Info screens (SOLVED)

Well, it took some more time to get it right, but yeah, it was left and right spacing, so there we go. kasugbfkaghjfasfa.png Yeah, that first scared me too, but I guess that's what I get for leaving all these dorked up spacing values in the graphicsinfo without proper usage, so kind of deserved in a...

[4.4.0.4] About Info screens (just one more issue left)

Okay, yeah, changing bottom spacing to just 0 fixed it, at least for now. It seems like at one point you overall reworked the whole spacing stuff for info screens, which, yeah, confused me at first, but now that it works, that's honestly good. Now the only issue I have to fix is one problem I have j...

[4.4.0.4] About Info screens update

Okay, so, I managed to manually fix that (almost, I don't know what's happening on the bottom there) as well, the problem was that some of the spacing features weren't exactly working originally, they were a bit unpredictable, which is not relevant anymore and can now be used a bit more properly. as...

[4.4.0.4] Theorizing about Info screens

Judging by the fact that scrollbar also appears in info screens, I assume these screens now have specific confinements which they are going out of now. The way I've done levelset info in RF is that I want to have custom title and subtitle in levelinfo screen for each page. But can't really move the ...

[4.4.0.4] About Info screens (solved the "S RT GAME" issue)

Just remembered why two specific characters of "Start Game" were disappearing. I completely forgot that Holger added the Level Info and Level Story pages for Info screens and put a new shortcut button for one of these in main menu. Because I made original envelopes (not MM envelopes) invis...

[4.4.0.4] About Info screens + "S RT GAME" (2)

For comparison, here I downloaded version 4.3.7.2 (because it was just the first one that caught my eye, don't mind the specificity), copied all RF versions in it and opened same levelsets on 4.3.7.2 and 4.4.0.4 on respectively.

[4.4.0.4] About Info screens + "S RT GAME"

Let's just say, I haven't visited my own levelset for a while, and... Yeah, some of the (relatively) recent changes to info screens have sorta broken it, at least Levelset Info page for sure. wgsgfsdgf.png Also for some reason main menu's "Start Game" button loses "ta" whenever I...

Re: Pre-release 4 of Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.4.0.0 available!

I think I mentioned that before in some topic, but I forgot to mention here... on my older PC I also had two different motherboards with same CPU socket in different time periods. The motherboard I had originally on it was a bit problematic, it had very strange issue if initialization. Sometimes it ...

Re: Better Game Elements menu for Boulder Dash

Oh, different empty spaces... whether they're exclusive to their respective engines or not, some of them may also be considered unnecessary leftovers... Which reminds me... Back when I first played R'n'D 2.0.1 (that was basically my first ever R'n'D experience which I got from a shareware DVD), it d...

You could potentially use invisible elements, such as invisible wall, invisible steel wall, invisible sand, character ' ' (blank space) and dripper... although that's still not enough unfortunately, yeah...

Drive

Could you please let me know which - operating system, - render driver (as shown on the "Version Info" page in R'n'D), and - video driver (as shown on the "Version Info" page in R'n'D) Well, there's no point in that now, because never happened on my current PC. I don't have the ...
