Re: what if mirror magic with the custom elements?

Yes, that's right, and a fairly complete answer to the question. The Mirror Magic game engine is (and will always be) some sort of foreign body in R'n'D. The reason I integrated it into R'n'D was not because I thought it was the addition most needed in R'n'D (which it isn't), but because I wanted to...

Re: might levelsets

I don't understand what you mean. Are you looking for some specific level sets for R'n'D that you cannot find? Off-topic: To make your posts better understandable, and maybe get more and better answers, you might have a look at the web tool "DeepL Write" (https://deepl.com/write). It can h...

Re: Does anyone know where these audio clips used in BD2K3 came from?

That's cool, and yes, all three audio sources (that is, the original songs) are very likely what I would have expected Alan Bond to use for his level sets! :-)

Re: confedit is not working

do the confedit remake! holger No, you will do the ConfEdit remake! Go learn a programming language (I leave the choice up to you), practice until you have mastered it, then do a perfect remake of ConfEdit that supports all the new stuff not yet included in the old ConfEdit. May I ask that you do a...

Re: Pause LET IT SNOW! When Pausing Game...

While such options might be useful, I have the feeling that they are way too special for such a little easter egg (well, OK, wrong season). So I think it should be sufficient to be able to simply deactivate it. At least to me, more sophisticated setup options seem to have the disadvantage of making ...

Re: confedit is not working

Wow, that's strange! No idea what kind of checks Alan implemented here. Have you tried it with older versions? It would be interesting to know which was the last version that works, and which is the first version that refuses to work, to see which change might have caused this. But I think I have to...

Re: confedit is not working

I assume this is due to a missing Visual Basic runtime. See the following note from the"Tools & Utilities" page: If you should have problems running this program (especially if it complains about missing OCX files like “GGlock.ocx”), the reason is most probably a missing Visual Basic 5...

Re: mirror magic adventure is finally done! out now!!!!

Hi Amir, I've just played the first 10 levels of your new level set, and my first impression is that it is quite some fun to play it! :D You also did a good job with all the graphics and sound customizations (although it's really a heavy load of ~70 MB of sounds and ~170 MB of music). You even added...

Re: Window icon goes missing

Happy new year everybody! :-D These are in fact two bug reports (well, three, to be precise)... Not sure about the icon problems (not checked yet), but I just had a look at the second and third problem regarding global animations: pointer doesn't click because the entire screen is covered by an anim...

Re: Problem RnD from flatpak

I'm glad to hear that you were able to solve the problem! :) Does the solution that works now uses a more recent version of the game? Just curious. BTW: It's very interesting to read about the systems you are using (especially the "immutable system" aspect), because I also have to set up a...

Re: Problem RnD from flatpak

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) This seems to be the cause of the error, and it looks like an error in R'n'D itself, which apparently causes an unrecoverable error within the X11 server operation, which apparently causes the program to fail. Could ...

It looks really cool, and very xmas-ish -- especially when it's also snowing*! :-D And I wasn't able to break the christmas lights, even though I just tried very hard! ;-) If this should be reproducibly somehow, I could have a look what's going on, but so far everything looked just nicely! *Snow can...
