PM on this forum system should work for patches which aren't huge. Or a post with attachment (I checked, looks like PM doesn't take attachments). Or, perhaps, a fork-and-pull-request on the github repository?

I would certainly encourage you to Start Small! See if you can develop code to do just one tiny aspect of the many varied things you described. As to building -- I've never tried building RnD on Windows, but the ./INSTALL file claims it should work the same as Linux, i.e. just run `make`. It also sa...

(I should add: code-wise it is not 99.9% Holger's, as he has imported multiple game engines from other people's projects. However, those have always been Holger's work of importing, not some other game author injecting their work. I'm making this correction specifically to separate between how much ...

My understanding is that this is 99.9% Holger's project, but it is not 'closed source'. He wants us to be able to see not only the code, but the code progression. I have contributed small bits of code in the past; communicated via email or forum posts or PMs. What eventually ended up in the code was...

I suggest you bust those out into a directory which responds to links in exactly the same format as they were on zomis.net, then there will be a simple 1:1 conceptual redirect from where they used to live to their new home...

> I wonder from where you got those files

Hmmm, I suspect it was www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=17794 :)

Holger, yes, those are the exact form I have them in :)

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 :) Holger, I think I've ment...

I note with (friendly) amusement that this announcement is much less bold than the pre-release-4 announcement was, about whether it is the final release. :)

These are awesome beta-testers; being held back from releasing a busted release is a really good thing!

Ok, that behavior is a bit confusing to the alert user :) They look in Hall Of Fame, see those things unpopulated ... look back a little while later, and suddenly it's there! Weird! This could be papered over, as follows: - the local code already knows the platform & game version, as they're enc...

I think I had confused myself. Plus there is this: Level 70 is less complicated, I just played it under 4.3.8.2. So there is a single clean upload of one save file -- which doesn't show version info. I am now not able to reproduce this; my one play of level 70 does show version/etc in the hall of fa...

add your extended "magic" file to the R'n'D package And/or figure out how to submit it to the maintainers of the `file` command... Regarding your excellent explanation of the results I got: if it uploads all my tapes, and downloads all the best scores from the server, it should be able to...

I don't think I've ever configured a custom art (or music etc.) set. Just whatever the levelset comes with or refers to. But you're on RnD levels, I'm on EMC -- those have different base layouts.

(nevermind, I did update it in 2022, viewtopic.php?t=588)

file(1) output is from magic entries I made, but I'm pretty sure have sent to Holger in the past. Except I see my copy has changelog entries from only 2y ago, and I'm pretty sure I haven't updated that. So, attached here.
