Re: 3D Maze

It seemingly does work, after renaming l4.pcx to L4.pcx in the graphics folder. However, trying to edit the level, without even actually changing anything (just going into the level editor, saving, then exiting, then trying to start game) completely breaks it...

Re: git repository now contains everthing to "make run"

Hi, noob question here: is any of this discussion relevant to trying to compile on Windows? This thread just says that you can download the source straight from the repository and be able to compile and run the game, without having to source the graphics/sound/levels from elsewhere before you can p...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.3.0.0 released!

I thought I could be lazy and just keep using an rc version but change api-test. to api. in the config, but trying to upload after doing so gives a 403 permission error, so I guess not...

Sort of don't understand the point of separating scores here between rc and release

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.3.0.0 Release Candidate 6 released!

I have a similar feature on another site , but with more vague times such as "3 minutes ago" and "2 months ago". Perhaps that could be done here. In fact, while I'm mentioning it I'd say a lot of stuff could be implemented like the ability to click on a level and get a list of ra...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds 4.3.0.0 Release Candidate 1 released!

Well, I was going to complain about my scores not showing up, but it turns out it does work and I just wasn't patient enough, heh.

However, going to older versions of rocksndiamonds (example 4.0.1.0 included with 18.04) wipes the UUID when changing a setting or your name, whoops...

Reverse horizontal scrolling in level editor

Using a touchpad, vertical scrolling is normal (two fingers up goes up, two fingers down goes down), however horizontal scrolling is reversed (two fingers left goes right, two fingers right goes left). Toggling the reverse or so-called "natural" scrolling toggles in system settings ... wel...

Re: Mashing the click

I'll assume the animations are the issue: If you want to minimize the time between screens, you can turn off fade screens and turn on quick menu doors in the graphics settings. I believe the "solution" to ignoring clicks during animations would be to call the function to get SDL events dur...

Re: Blue emerald

For some odd reason I decided to mess with the idea... just drop these into the graphics folder in your levelset's folder

Strange glitched graphics after death + message

Steps to reproduce: 1) Turn ON Small Game Graphics (and you probably want to turn OFF Ask On Game Over as well as it will probably interfere) 2) Make the player die in some way 3) Press a key that opens a message, such as F1 or F2 as bound to tape save and load respectively 4) Dismiss the message Sc...

Re: Contributions 1998 Ben Braithwaite level 50

All solved except 50. That one is either a broken design, or has been broken by some RnD behavior change since 1998... The latter seems to be the case. I loaded up rnd 1.2.0 (which actually includes the levelset in question!) in dosbox (the native linux binary didn't work), and it doesn't seem to c...

Re: Rocks'n'diamonds in a browser!

2. I also got a WASM file of size 64,378,266 bytes initially, but when using "wasm-opt -O2" on it, it only shrinks to 61,650,594 bytes, which is much larger than "under 4 MB". :? Any idea what's missing here to also get that much smaller size? I have no idea. The WASM for me was...

Re: Rocks'n'diamonds in a browser!

Does it have a noticeable effect on runtime speed, or just download time? I don't know, I couldn't notice a difference in runtime speed in my very limited testing. Can you put an optimized version up at e.g. https://armagetron.kevinh.us/rnd-opt/ ? Sure... though admittedly, I had already replaced t...

I would guess all of the dependencies. Although, it turns out passing the resulting wasm through Binaryen's wasm-opt (-O2) shrinks it right down to under 4MB.
