Rocks'n'Diamonds

Filbo, your idea: "in this 'forced multi' mode, key possession could be collective. That is, if *any* player has a green key, all can pass green doors" is such a good one that it warrants being added as an option to the game in any case; that is, in any multiplayer game (different PCs, sam...

Hi Eizzoux Is this a modified version of RnD that contains these enhancements? Where can it be downloaded from please? The water breathing looks good, makes me thing of Cave Chaos 4 - or 3, or 2 - whichever one introduced the idea of water, anyway. The way water worked in that game was that when you...

I'm new so I don't get what everybody else gets... where is the levelset for this series?

Can I suggest that there be some way of automatically making single-player levels multiplayer, without actually editing them? e.g. a game setting which automatically adds 1, 2 or 3 players if not present. The devil would be in knowing where to put them. Just next to or near to the yellow player ough...

One further thing is that when the instances of the game on different computers are in networked multiplayer mode, starting a level on one computer (either the server or a client) starts the level on the other computer, even if it is a level that does not have more than one player in it. When the le...

Hi, I was away and only found out about the new release of R'n'D yesterday, which was a very welcome surprise! Networked multiplayer games are working for me now - I have tried with three different PCs (Windows 10), one acting as the server and the other two as clients, but only two PCs at a time. I...

Hi, thanks for the replies, that makes sense. Regarding the setting for the virtual buttons, I didn't need to make that setting, because in the meantime I had upgraded from 4.1.0.0 to the 20180907 version, and this didn't have the problem.

So one way or another, case closed!

Hi, thanks for the replies. After writing my first post I realized that I needed to copy across the graphics, sounds and music folders from MM, but also the files in the conf folder (I must have read this from a posting to the forum but I cannot say exactly which one). So I did all that. The problem...

If I could vote for one new feature in Rocks'n'Diamonds (apart from networked gameplaying working, which it isn't doing currently, at least for me with version 20180907), it would be: The ability to store all levels on the server PC, and have clients access the levels from the server. This is in con...

Could the RnD engine be changed from requiring all levels to be in 3-digit format (000, 001, 002, etc... 999) to accepting anything that is a level file, and sorting the levels according to some convention - maybe the ASCII convention? So you could have 001 001b 001c 001c multiplayer 002 002 alterna...

Hi, the release notes for Mirror Magic say "This was all done by integrating the classic Mirror Magic game engine into the game Rocks’n’Diamonds as a new custom game engine, therefore using R’n’D as the new technical platform for this and any future release. This new major release of Mirror Mag...

Hi, this is my first post on the forum so apologies if I make some mistakes. I was able to run rnd 4.1.0.0 in network multiplayer mode with computer "A" as the server and computer "B" as the client, and vice versa. I ran rocksndiamonds-20180907-1.exe on computer "A" (fi...
