Rocks'n'Diamonds

how long does it take? I think Holger is busy with his son and other preoccupations right now. As I see it, he could have easily just left all the emerald mine levels partially broken under the RnD engine and said "Tough luck", but he personally chose to go to the trouble of adding a seco...

That figure might be a bit high (I didn't, by any means, go through every levelset ), but I still stand by that general opinion.

Sounds cool! The link gave me a 404 though.

Both of those are fine in the Emerald Mine engine. The RnD engine behaves differently.
I do think the splashes should be changed, though.

Same here.

If had conf file problems before, but nothing like this. :( Everything in the picture looks like it's set up fine. I created the same situation and it worked okay for me: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9424/graphicsinfoconftestei1.jpg I doubt the problem is OS related, but cannot make any furthe...

It works fine for me in both Windows XP (SP2) and Vista.

It can also be troublesome in level 9 of the original boulderdash levelset (with all those fireflies coming at you)

I know what you mean, but in that particular case, you could also just snap the emerald and wait a moment.

Also, a good temporary workaround would be to make a destructible CE that looks like a closed exit and changes to an open exit as soon as gems needed reaches 0.

Is this normal?

Yes, these graphics are directly taken from the original EMC games, which were for the Amiga, which is a quite old computer.

then why do you add emerald mine objects, which are not implemented properly, in your program? I hope Holger doesn't mind me answering this first but, why should he implement them exactly? Why go to all the trouble of creating and programming RnD just to have another Emerald Mine? RnD's engine is a...

It's June for me.

Now it's 18, (since June 1 actually) but it will change again, eventually.
