Rocks'n'Diamonds

Levels 86 87 95 96 97 98 99 work for me [...] OK, these tapes can be patched to work again (and other tapes that are affected by the same problem like tapes 093 and 094 from that same level set, if autotest'ed with EMC 3.1.0 activated in the last "normal" invocation, will also work again ...

4.2.0.3 most recently solved emc_boulder_dash_pro level 87 Very strange. I tried to solve this tape with various versions of the game, but did not succeed. The tape looks like this: aeglos@isengard:~/.rocksndiamonds/tapes/emc_boulder_dash_pro$ file 087.tape 087.tape: Rocks'n'Diamonds tape file, ver...

I assume that you mean title screens, and I assume that you mean animated GIFs that you want to play there, right? :-) Loading images in GIF format is fully supported by the SDL library used by R'n'D, but there is no support for loading or playing animated GIF images that I know of. But it's very ea...

The following directories have permissions 700 (only owner can access) in the 3.0.0 archive. As I had extracted it as root into my systemwide RnD installation, I then couldn't access them as my regular user. All other files and directories have sensible perms (with a little harmless variation): [.....

Basically, there seems to be an input delay when you first start a level, that makes certain levels that require immediate movement (specifically, level 32 of Supaplex Level Collection 02) impossible. Thanks a lot for reporting this issue, and also many thanks for providing a level to easily reprod...

No problem, don't hurry! We can release a new "patch version" of the collection when you have them available.

Just wanted to have somebody else take a look at the new version before I release it...

I will release a new version of the EMC collection in a few days, together with a new minor release of R'n'D to support some of the changes in the EMC collection (which is not strictly required to use the new EMC collection, but improves certain changes, like re-arrangement of keys in the game panel...

The original Emerald Mine game engine supports a thing called "initially moving objects", which were (rarely) used in some classic EMC sets. That's what the two nuts are doing here. As strange (or nuts ;-) ) as this concept seems to be, everything indeed works as it should here (although p...

Found and fixed that bug! Thanks!

Just reproduced this! Very strange! I'll investigate...

Yes, I also found this out today. Just fixed all three wrong element graphics.

Will be part of an improved Emerald Mine Club level collection to be released soon...

I'm a bit confused about what exactly you are attempting to do...

R'n'D already converts and saves levels of different formats (like Emerald Mine or Supaplex level formats) to R'n'D level file format, so you only have to support one file format when loading levels from R'n'D.

Definitely yes -- you can ask my children, they will agree here! (December 6th, to be precise. )
