"Be a Bug" by Sascha

[Francesco]

Well, I suggest you to play "Be a Bug" by Sascha, I think it's very funny, a nice gameplay (and tricky levels!)

For Rocks'n'Diamonds 3.2.0 only!

[Sascha]

Well, I created this level set by an accident,
I noted: you can set the player graphic.
But in the second, the "restarting level", it's
silly: The bug (so the player) doesn't move the
legs because there's sand and a bug usually don't
digs sand

[Francesco]

I've noticed the bug moving as a single frame - that is, with no animation - while digging sand, but I think it can be solved. I guess that there is a setting in graphicsinfo that can fix this issue.

This should work, but I haven't checked it:-

Code: Select all

bug.digging.right:                       RocksElements.pcx
bug.digging.right.xpos:                  8
bug.digging.right.ypos:                  4
bug.digging.right.frames:                2
bug.digging.right.delay:                 4
bug.digging.right.offset:                128
bug.digging.up:                          RocksElements.pcx
bug.digging.up.xpos:                     9
bug.digging.up.ypos:                     4
bug.digging.up.frames:                   2
bug.digging.up.delay:                    4
bug.digging.up.offset:                   128
bug.digging.left:                        RocksElements.pcx
bug.digging.left.xpos:                   10
bug.digging.left.ypos:                   4
bug.digging.left.frames:                 2
bug.digging.left.delay:                  4
bug.digging.left.offset:                 128
bug.digging.down:                        RocksElements.pcx
bug.digging.down.xpos:                   11
bug.digging.down.ypos:                   4
bug.digging.down.frames:                 2
bug.digging.down.delay:                  4
bug.digging.down.offset:                 128

[Sascha]

Yes, maybe.

That's exactly the reason for the observed behaviour.

Alan's proposed workaround should work fine, though.

[Sascha]

Yes, but the graphicsinfo.conf in the gfx_classic is empty!

[Holger]

Nope, it's not empty -- it's just not stored in an external file, but compiled into the program, as these values are default values, which are needed if not all elements have corresponding artwork definitions.

Just type "./rocksndiamonds --help" to see how to print out these default values!

Just type "./rocksndiamonds --help" to see how to print out these default values!

I already told Sascha how to do this in another topic:

Code: Select all

.\rocksndiamonds --execute "print graphicsinfo.conf"

or, to print to a file:

Code: Select all

.\rocksndiamonds --execute "print graphicsinfo.conf" > afile.txt

[Holger]

Oops, right! Thanks!

[Daniel H.]

You're welcome.
