Oh, and since I just noticed who liked that tweet and a few others & might recognize them from back in the day. This is the best game ever made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exile_(1988_video_game) Chris Chapman's vid on it is really interesting, esp when he gets technical: Exile: The 8-Bit Met...

Re: misc updates thread

Sure, your maps usually deserve a careful look - the eye caught my attention and that was how I found the spot in first place. Not to mention hidden drawings of animals and other stuff in some caves, which pass unnoticed unless we're looking for them :) It's great to see you around, I'm a fan of yo...

Re: maped thread - now even more difficult to use than ever

By the appearance of the squishing my guess is that it's trying to use the half tile code, But I don't think that it was intended to be used on items? It appears that item codes that use the hack (e.g. c40f43d) are now stuck using the split head / bottom function of the avatars. Ye, just left wonde...

Re: the scripting thread

Ok - is it possible to use the timer code to ensure that map alterations are reset after X time? e.g. -- spawn timer (should be placed at unreachable position of the map) m = spawn_at(0x364, 0, 0, z, false) -- save x,y coords to timer m:set_dmg_dice(x) m:set_dmg_sides(y) -- set timer m.timer = 10 m....

Re: Ideas thread 2014

I think pet runes are of varying prices to make it more expensive to have more than one, which I can agree with. I wouldn't mind if other things were sold similarly. In Addy: Steel is 20 Iron is 30 Copper is 50 So, yeah, you'd expect some difference. I'm lazy n can throw $20 at EUO without issue, b...

Re: maped thread - now even more difficult to use than ever

I'm uploading a newer version right now that might have better support for paths with transparent backgrounds. The version on there I don't think had 'default undertile' support. Now works, which is great, but I'm stuck in 16x16 display for it, whereas before it was using 32x32. The autoconfig / re...

Re: Ideas thread 2014

Some old ones, but hey: 1) Change polymorph to be useful. Currently mages cannot really take on Shadow warriors / Shadow Lords, even with the MR cleave (well, it's possible, but tiresome) and casting polymorph for the extra melee chances unequips your stave. Make them all melee beasties, & scale...

Re: Crypt Wizard: forums exclusive demo

Fun! (and ironic, given the massive fuckup that was EA's latest Dungeon Keeper) Quick points: 1) Resource management is a bit weird, for two reasons. Firstly, the bottle neck is mana crystals, nothing else (at least in a few play throughs on medium). Secondly, the ranges at which the zombies pick up...

Re: the scripting thread

Basics of tinting: # If an avatar or an item has grey areas chances are these grey parts can be tinted. Everything not grey is not affected by tinting, e.g. moss. Still some grey areas may not tint cause the grey is not pure grey as values for RGB are not equal (see RGB colour space). Ok, that's a ...

Re: the scripting thread

Woot! Thanks, looks like we can do what I intend (especially that egg hack to normalize for heroic etc, great stuff!). I think a sensible idea is I finish off x2 100x100's*, stuff them with scripts and use them as a testing base for all of this. That way we can progress quicker (less checking), have...

Re: the scripting thread

# m = spawn_at(0x200, x, y, z, false) Egg's example used: spawn_at(0x21d,3,3,z) spawn_at(0x21d,11,3,z) spawn_at(0x21d,3,11,z) spawn_at(0x21d,11,11,z) This spawns a single goblin or single mobs at specific areas. Not what I was after - how do you set it as a spawner with a radius / multiple #s? Ideal...

Re: maped thread - now even more difficult to use than ever

Questions / Problems I've encountered: 1) The paintbrush feature makes making maps ridiculously easy, which is fantastic. It's immensely useful for painting a backdrop that can be manually tweaked, so I've been playing with it. Atm it doesn't look like you can add item codes to it however? 2) Paths ...

Re: maped thread - now even more difficult to use than ever

Way back in the day, Egg mentioned that there was a limit on items / map - 300? 1200? I don't want to create something that lags / causes crashes. I dunno about that - 300 or more items are quite a lot. I am not sure how many items my map used so far but the apoc script for example creats a lot of ...
