This is just a small update of the Emerald Mine Club level collection that fixes (improves) the names of the level artwork sets – before, there could be three graphics sets with the same name (one with ECS style artwork, one with AGA style artwork, and a third one that contains the title screens, al...

Hello IceFir3, welcome to the forum! :-) Most of your suggestions seem to be reasonable to me. Let's have a look at them: Configurable amount of time in which the amoeba (BD style and amoeba with content) turns into boulders This one absolutely makes sense, and shouldn't be hard to add. Bombs that c...

This reminds me of a high score issue I've been meaning to ask about for a while: when I play a level more than once, it only ever records one high score for me -- retaining the higher one, of course. That means that you are using a global (system-wide) scores directory for R'n'D that exists in the...

Sometimes I kill a player because of the snap... Yes, this happened to me quiet some times, too, when playing Emerald Mine back then (and also when playing it in R'n'D now). :? Will it be possible to add an option to disable a drop with the snap? Yes, I think there's no reason not to add an option ...

Yes, that's right -- scrolling the high score entries only works with the keyboard (as it was built that way a long time before touch screens even existed). I'm not very happy with the high score screen for a different reason: It is not immediately obvious that you can scroll more entries at all, as...

That's right, the observed behaviour is by intention -- this is exactly how the original Emerald Mine and Supaplex games worked! The reason is that both engines were designed a long time ago on the Amiga, where joysticks only had one single button at that time (well, most had two, but they created t...

Thanks for pointing me towards this issue. (And sorry for the late reply.) There were two reasons for this behaviour: 1. It was not checked at all if the cache had to be updated or not, it was just always written after initializing artwork info. 2. There was an additional issue with non-existing art...

Hi RAP, nice to see you here again! :D including new levelsets recovered from the Emerald Mine Club to play too Yes, and including a huge amount of solution tapes you have created years ago (which still work just fine)! :) I mean, pressing the Escape key while on that prompt would let you go back to...

Just fixed the corresponding download links that still pointed to the old version.

Thanks a lot for letting me know, mat!

Having had my attention drawn to this thread, I notice a couple of mentioned levelsets in the 'Contributions 1995-whenever' collection, which I don't seem to have: Martin Hermann, and Holger Schemel himself! Where might I find those? The first one is here: "Contributions_1996/rnd_martin_herrma...

Sorry, forgot to answer this post over the x-mas holidays! Happy new year! :-) Mine After Earthquake took a lot of trial and error but was really satisfying to finally get right. Though I am a little disappointed that none of the other levels in the set are anywhere near as challenging. Sounds inter...
