Rocks'n'Diamonds

I agree that it may sometimes be useful (and confusing) not to invalidate the snapshot in some cases. After this particular time limit case is fixed, what will happen if: a snapshot is recorded of a level that has no time limit; a time limit is later added to the level; and the snapshot is reloaded ...

If I understand correctly, an instant snapshot basically includes a copy of the level and its properties as they were when the snapshot was taken. Any modifications to the level will not affect past snapshots.

So perhaps instant snapshots should be invalidated when a level is modified?

Perhaps the solution tapes could be made into a TV show for kids.

The ability to add elements to envelope text would be nice (although it might be complicated to implement).

You can already show envelopes from a custom element using the "Show Envelope" action.

I like the idea of being able to add notes in the level editor. Being able to add notes to CE's would also be nice. :) I think that adding markings to CE's and hiding certain CE's from the level editor is better done using custom artwork and a user defined element section that only shows elements us...

4 players is quite enough for Rocks'n'Diamonds. It's not even possible to fit all the eight players just by using the keyboard. But even if some of the players have joysticks or something similar, would the game handle many players within one screen (17 x 17)? Although one would probably not want m...

Be sure you have "User Defined Element List" turned on in Setup -> Editor.

It works for me. (Tested using levelset "Zelda II" on Rocks'n'Diamonds 3.2.6.1 SDL on Windows XP Home Edition.)

Thanks for updating the "Mentioned ideas" topic.

I like the idea of having a "Redo" button.

Are you sure that Rocks'n'Diamonds can use Windows cursors?

If you disable the player death sound in soundsinfo.conf, you can still hear it. Sometimes I have heard it with sound effects turned off.

Other than that, it doesn't seem to play. I don't know why, other than perhaps the "player death" sound is covering it up.

I believe Holger does have his own idea lists.
There is one list in a file called TODO.txt distributed with Rocks'n'Diamonds.

And don't forget the Mentioned Ideas for Rocks'n'Diamonds topic (although it is missing newer ideas).

I must say it really is great to have the forum and files archive working again AND to have so many people back on the forum already!

I can't see it either.

Maybe it expired or something.

Great!

I can confirm this bug. I assume it would be easy to fix.
