Rocks'n'Diamonds

I am curious whether the fix in 4.4.2.1 is purely cosmetic; or whether the described / displayed behavior affected game logic. The shown images look like the falling diamond would block a monster arriving at a precise time, whereas if the diamond just magically appears in the dug-away cel, the monst...

Hmmm. If you have old backups of your account, you could probably extract and find it. But it's getting to be a more advanced project :)

Onyx, can you trigger these things at will? Do it under `gdb`?

Bryan used `gdb` in the first post about this, and it's all under KDE, so `make gdb` should be well in hand :)

I guess you could A/B test by switching back to the previous theme and seeing if RnD gets sick again. And then, if proven, state what the 'bad' and 'good' themes are, which would give a basis for others to try to reproduce it...

Some sort of caching problem then... I just re-followed the link from this message and it was still the old version. Then reloaded the page and it finally showed up.

Where is the new link on Levels & Artwork?

The RnD source in the Windows .zip appears to be nearly unmodified 3.3.0.1 (one weird typo added). So the contained levelset should work perfectly well under mainline RnD 3.3.0.1, and -- one hopes -- equally so under 4.4.1.3 :)

Cool, thanks. The older pages on WayBack had separate download links for Windows / Mac / Linux, while this one is Windows-only. I successfully dl'd but can't test anything right now, as my desktop / gaming machine just went on the fritz in some mysterious fashion (sigh)...

I randomly stumbled across this today -- the pointed-to materials are no longer at the given URL, nor its WayBack Machine echo. I wonder if the author is still present here; or if anyone else has copies of this 'Tigris Mythos' levelset. Google searching on 'dioram tigris mythos' was thoroughly unhel...

10 days before the release of my game a trademark application for the name in the area of "gaming software" became public, and by amazing coincidence I found it only four days later. hmmmm. Makes me wonder if that is in fact a coincidence , or actually something sinister. Imagine someone ...

Rocks'n' Diamonds is a personal project of one person. Holger adds features which he finds interesting to work on. With, of course, lots of input from these forums and elsewhere.

Asking for a roadmap is like someone demanding a roadmap of what you're going to eat for dinner for the next month.

Well, that was pretty snappy... Debian package version 4.4.1.3+dfsg-2 fixes almost everything ('example_richard_kleber' level is still omitted).

If the above does work, it sounds like too much trouble to get working. Problem solved by deleting Kwin config files in ~/.config and /.local/share and a reconfiguration afterwards. Hmmm, sounds like just 'save and delete the relevant files in ~/.config and ~/.local/share; log in to KDE and see if ...
