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 ...

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... thank you for the suggestion to use invisible walls. it turns out between true "empty s...

did not notice until this morning that empty_space_1 thru 16 display as numbers if shown in the help screen and not empty space (see the "07" in the second screenshot)... bummer. as suggested there are 7 headers total that need empty space next to them ("BOULDER DASH 1 ELEMENTS",...

Attached are drop-in replacements for helpanim.conf and helptext.conf for the Boulder Dash levelsets. This is a completed version of the Game Elements page for Boulder Dash that properly groups elements by their source (BD1, BD2, Construction Kit, New Boulder Dash, Crazy Dream, GDash, and misc.) and...

strange bug i can't seem to reproduce: after a long session that included turning "Override Level Graphics" on and off a couple times, i tried to go to the level creator while on a BD level (specifically Achim Hofmann - Achim Hofmann level 01), and the "this level is read only!"...

People who primarily play RnD and EM levels and are not used to the control scheme of BD may appreciate an option in the Game Engines menu that makes the BD levels use the same control scheme as RnD levels. ---- In RnD (and EM), holding two perpendicular directions at once has some very useful behav...

To reproduce: Go into Setup -> Game & Menu. Set "Game Engine Snapshot Mode" to "Every Collect". Enable "show undo/redo buttons", and disable "show load/save buttons". Enter a BD level, and collect some gems. Click the "undo" button on the game pa...

do you plan to add support for a swappable second game panel to the RnD engine too? it would be nice for my tutorial (ncrtorial), where all the info you need that isn't in the default RnD panel (e.g. white keys, EMC keys) could be put on a second panel instead of being crammed into the only panel av...

just recently i wanted to make a custom panel for RnD-style BD levels that shows, among other things, how many lives the player currently has. then i realized the only way to show the player's lives is to show the level name (which has the lives appended onto it if playing with multiple lives). so a...

notice the dirt is still under rockford for a little while.

first, ensure both the width and height are set to 9, and make this level: tinylevel.png observe that all the sounds are working. then resize the level to cut off the dirt (either partially or fully). the following sounds will be missing: the cave intro blips the inbox opening the pneumatic hammer s...

can be easily checked in the editor. can be triggered by a butterfly/firefly moving next to the voodoo doll, or by a rock falling on the voodoo doll if both "killed by falling rock" and "player is killed if hurt" are true

I can't really make rockford move around with the weapon the entire time since "rockford with bomb" and "rockford with rocket launcher" are separate objects that are replacing rockford's idle stance once obtained the needed item actually... from a game logic perspective, this is...

One thing, though, my pot player animation is fine by itself, but may be potentially wrong for BD engine itself, because you can stir it in four different directions, which all share the same silly animation, while I did just... him looking down with a bit more determined gaze. the pot has the same...
