Rocks'n'Diamonds

Hey ! Whoo! huge update! There are 689 elements defined now. You are right about the get/post update thing: I added a field this week and forgot to test for empty values. It's working now. Example: http://www.emeraldmines.net/bdcff/default.asp?action=updateobject&id=455&name=PIGGY&BDCFF2...

Maybe a seperate button which check for duplicates is better. Because for insert, I want to insert the element (automatically), dont take a look for duplicates. Making adjustment to 2-byte-code dupl's later by hand. That's done: http://www.stef.be/projects/boulderflash/bdcff/default.asp?action=bdcf...

Thanks Holger! a very complete list indeed! A quick comparison gives me these missing titles (Sadly I don't have any of them, in fact, I'm not really sure they aren't dupes, nor that they actually exist) gold_nuggets_3 gold_nuggets_4 gold_nuggets_5 crazy_mine_02 sky_mine_09 Diamonds Mine (apparantly...

Hey! Search filter on name is added (handy indeed) Sorting on 2-char-code is now case sensitive Sorting on ID is now a genuine sort on ID I changed the names of DOOR_1 etc of the RnD elements to RnD_DOOR_1 etc, to clarify that RnD doors have different behaviour then EM doors. EM_AMOEBA1 is indeed a ...

Hey HerzAusGold Thanks for picking up the task to complete the list with the RnD elements. I fixed the "add new element" form: All fields are insterted now in the first pass. Inserting elements from a GET or POST request should work both. Example: http://www.stef.be/projects/boulderflash/b...

Hey, well those 574 files contain about 10 tool disks and some ECS/AGA versions of the same disk. There are 559 actual level disks. But there are a bunch of disks that are in the Tosec that are not in the EMC holland collection. so I guess 576 sounds very complete :-) I thought I had 600-something, ...

Hey, I'm currently in the process of redoing the emerald web website with Galaxy. The (temporary) url is http://emerald.stef.be/ Missing EM-disks will be added whenever I find the time, but for those of you who don't like waiting: here's the EMC collection http://emerald.stef.be/EMC.rar (574 files) ...

Wheeeeee!!!

Thanks!

Actually, those different Boulderdash engines seem very complicated to me, hehe ... Emerald Mines is so straighforward

Hey LogicDeLuxe! Great info, as usual. Yes, I was thinking that those engine-elements were probably a bit off. I corrected them towards your input. The DAS engine has been added. I more or less assumed that all elements on your list where allready in your Crazy Light engine, I didn't really check in...

Hey, OK, I updated the BDCFF proposal again. It now holds *ALL* elements ever to be found in a Boulderdash or Emerald Mines level. (I included all elements of the Crazy Dream list, all elements that can be used in the latest verison of the EMC editor, and some remaining ones that are suported in Dav...

sure! but not that many new graphics yet. After some pixel things I decided to do them in 3D anyway. At his moment I got some nice water_bubble effects and a rough draft of the main character, which is a diver with 2 aircanisters and huge glasses. I'll to clean them up a bit and send you a rough dra...

Btw., I don't think that we need map codes for OUTBOXopen and HIDDENOUTBOXopen. They are for effects. And while it is possible to have them in a map, there is no editor in which you can place them, afaIk. They are sometimes used in Emerald Mines though (usually encased with steel wall so you can ne...

If they are only animation steps, they should not added to any element list, because this handles each engine different. Hmm, if these elements are ever used in a cave design, then they must. or else you never could recreate the level 100% the same as some information would be lost. in the case of ...

ah yes, offcourse: existing names shouldn't be changed. I the case of BDCFF, I think its a valid assumption that if no engine or property is specified, then its about BD elements. only the EM and SP etc ... would have that naming. Maybe for clarity all elements that e.g. EM adds should be named EM_....

To avoid trouble we should made BD_xxxx elements and EM_xxxx or even EMC_xxxxx or SP_xxx elements where is a overlapping. Yes, I see the point in that now. let's forget about the internal ID's for now ... after all, its up to the engine how it interpretes the different BDCFF elements. I never ment ...
