It seems none of these URLs are working any more. https://www.jb-line.de/hp/rnd_jue-v8.zip redirects to http-no-s no-www-jb-line, which then redirects to https jb-line, which then says 404. Noticed this while trying to install the current Debian package; it also then fell on its face, not extracting...

(oh, and of course it should be under bugs :)

Sounds like some refinements are definitely in order. Your paste pipeline is apparently sending in CR (0x0D) and LF (0x0A), while Holger only expected one of those (probably LF). So, RnD should silently absorb one or both of those. Your example shows some '?' in left column (well, left column of wha...

Achieving saved-tape compatibility with a different engine is actually a major achievement. You are too modest.

(And finally, it feels like 'added a whole new differently-compatible game engine' is way more than a '0.0.1' update, this ought to be 4.5.0.0 :)

(Also, for that matter, how did things get from Agetian's last comments about having ported what sounded like maybe a couple dozen Krissz levels into BDCFF format, to today having a link to '3252 levels in 25 level sets' stored on mega.nz ???)

This Krissz stuff sounds very exciting. I looked through the pointed-to threads on bd-forum and was surprised to see that after all of Agetian's detailed development notes in late 2021, it just seemed to hard-stop! Likewise the github repository. When you added compatibility into RnD, did you work w...

'guest' / 'guest' is probably too obvious, and if they turn their AI even a teeny tiny bit inwards it will parse your greet text and figure out how to get past the 'firewall'. But, not sure how to do better. If you say 'login as guest with password guest-spelled-backwards' -- the AIs are certainly s...

Yeah, graph needs two different Y-axis scales for 'before' and 'after'... This probably belongs somewhere other than the 4406 announcement thread :) My $work is also struggling against AI scraper load. WTF is wrong with those people -- robots.txt is there for a reason (on your part); spoofed user ag...

What I meant, and I think has been successfully communicated, but I still want to clarify myself, is: By looking at graphicsinfo.conf files, we could deduce that yes , RnD already has the ability to internally translate between element 'names' like 'player_1', and internal numeric representations as...

'Off Topic' seems sufficient :) Not to be flip, but -- so far this is one (1) example of the post type you're referring to. If you post 50 of them (or your outburst provokes others to follow) -- then I'm sure Holger will see the need, and create a separate topic. And fortunately phpBB does support a...

Look in the (thousands of) files named 'graphicsinfo.conf' in the game levels directory tree. This is another matter where there are dozens or hundreds of discussions in the forums here, but -- not sure what you would search for (except 'graphicsinfo.conf' will probably hit a good fraction of such d...

It does seem clear that RnD already knows the elements 'by name', in order to support element-specific graphical tricks. So the ability to paste level excerpts in that sort of format seems like it wouldn't be super hard to do. And your reasons for wanting it seem sound...

I found an example. I clicked on my own name, then 'Search user's posts', and searched for 'paste'. That led to this post: https://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16852&hilit=paste#p16852 -- which has an example. You can see what the code looks like by using the forum's 'Reply with quote' ...
