Meaningless loop in LoadLevel_HEAD (3.2.2)

In 3.2.2, in files.c, in LoadLevel_HEAD: for (i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++) level->initial_player_stepsize[0] = initial_player_stepsize; This doesn't make any sense. You probably meant initial_player_stepsize . (Probably this was already reported and fixed in 3.2.3-0, but I'm using the last stable ve...

So, I finally got the time to stop working on... RnD related projects and look at your solution, Zomis. Well, what can I say? It's great, and works perfectly. I hope someone soon makes levelsets using it. (Even I may, if I'll have the time...) Actually, to create (or at least, to help create or to s...

Clarification: In the quoted post I meant them separately - one key for New, another one for Paste. In the newer one I proposed a key that creates a new page and immediately inserts content of clipboard in it.

And NEW+PASTE! (Both actions triggered by one key.) How is it possible I haven't already mentioned that?

> But then the question is, why does Holger have all this code if xx_num_contents is always 1? The answer is - he doesn't. He has to use some variable (because if he used NULL in the LevelFileConfigInfo, it would produce errors when the program tried to write to num_entities), so lines 128, 942 and ...

Ruby is an interpreted language, so there isn't any compiler that could complain. Here are my reasons why I believe that reading xx_num_contents always returns 1. I can't find a flaw in them, so if you can, please tell me. I'd like it confirmed by another person, because if I can assume that xx_num_...

By the way, could you please answer my question posted in Programmer's Corner? (It seems that Holger is currently away from the forum for a while.) It's critical for my design and while I'm not sure, I can't continue on my MicroChunks implementation. Is xx_num_contents always 1? (Or I'll ask more sp...

I didn't have enough time to try the level yet, so I don't know how does it work, so I don't entirely understand what do you mean, but when I'll play it, I'll hopefully understand it and be able to suggest better workarounds.

Maybe I have a workaround. Why teleport the player into the upper-left corner? Teleport him to a special screen that says "Loading, please wait..." and maybe a hourglass animation (e.g. "extra time" element from BD2K3?;)

It should have non-GUI mode which accepts level file, script file and anything else needed as command-line arguments.

Maybe it could be open-source. (For this particular project, I can't see any advantages of being closed-source.)

And can xx_num_contents ever get a different value than 1?

A question for Holger: can I remove all the attributes marked as "internal values used at runtime when playing" in my editor? (Including, particularly, pre_change_function?) And while I'm at asking questions, I also don't understand the comment "important: only change event bit if cor...

And make key shortcuts for NEW and PASTE too! (And maybe even for DELETE and COPY, but I use NEW and PASTE much more.)

but the version in Zelda will probably better suite your needs.
