Mais oui! :-)

Check your mail! :-)

Just checked out your zip archive! I have absolutely no idea why it does not work for you -- it works just fine for me and shows all and everything it should from the SnakeBite gfx set, in the main menu and when playing, just as it does in original SnakeBite (and as I would expect when looking at th...

Yes! But I won't! :-)

Interesting idea! Still have to think about it...

Welcome CEEL to this forum! :-) I'm glad to know some more people here with a good knowledge of the original Emerald Mine (Club) engine! :-) > Requests.for R&D engine. One big question right at the start: I assume that you are aware of the new Emerald Mine (Club) engine in the current 3.2.0-x pr...

> Nope. With the updated 3.2.0-6 it works great. Goood to know. :-) > I wonder what exactly caused the bug...? I free()'d up some memory and then happily used it. Bad idea! ;-) As this bug happened only under Windows (which seems to be more strict here -- or maybe Linux uses some sort of FIFO (first...

Woa! That's really a big, nasty, hairy bug!!! :-O Just fixed it. This fix should not break any tapes, as the difference would only show up when the player dies, in which case the tape wouldn't solve the corresponding level anyway... Well, the level tape unit test I will run next night will show it...

Very nice example for random levels! I was able to solve all "sub-levels" of the first level and half of the second level before I was blocked, so the random maze algorithm seems to be not too bad. :-)

Veeery cool -- great work! :-) (Works best with "scroll delay" disabled in the setup menu, btw!) > "exiting/entering" a CE isn't fast enough for animation, I hope you see > what I mean now (it scrolls after moving) Seems that I should re-introduce a "player just starts enter...

Nice set of graphics ready to use for own CEs! :-) > yeah, i found that in the emc_object.pcx from RND 3.2.0-0 (dont kill me, > Holger) and i also scale it. No problem... :-) BTW: Scaling for 16x16 (or smaller) graphics is not needed -- just use the following directives: custom_x: foo.pcx custom_x.s...

OK, I've just added it just as you've described it! :-)

Wow! Very cool! Especially the second level! I really had to think for a while how you built these "player coordinate pointers" although it's not that hard... :-) > - the floppies turn into emeralds when touching the terminal Oops?! This seemed not to work for me... Any special trick needed?

[...] > Maybe a pushable/walkable CE, so you can push it from both faces of the side. Hmmm... But how do you then tell if the player should leave the CE or push it? I mean, it could t...

This version is an important bugfix release , as it removes a major bug in version 3.1.1 which prevents private levels from being edited with the level editor. Everybody who wants to create his or her own levels is strongly encouraged to update to version 3.1.2. (Besides that, version 3.1.2 is ident...
