I want people to play them the way they were made to be played, even if it's not as pretty. It can't be that hard to just include a "disable optional smoothing" bitset so that people can't choose it. |
I will not make a "disable all smoothing" bitset, but I understand your concern, so I am thinking a feature to "Display text box # when enabling smoothing filters" would be reasonable. That way you can tell users in your own words why you think they should not use the filter-- but they can still choose to override that if they insist (As Fyre pointed out, they could anyway, even if there was a fully disabling bitset)
Anytway, none of this will happen until some time after ubersetzung is released. |

(I'll just link that text box to a "gameover" script) |
I didn't mean that it would trigger a text box (which would be difficult to implement, and could lead to complications depending on when it happened)
I just meant that it would use te text of a text box as the source of the warning message when the user enables the feature. |

Quote: | Also, related to the next release, any chance of an in-game way to save NPC locations without plotscripting? I'm using scripts now to record the locations of every character on maps, but it's a terrible pain and I asked about this years ago, back when every other developer was planning his own alternate version of the OHR. This would be extremely useful to lots of game designers, especially newer users. |
Plotscript no more! Nightlies now have the ability to save NPC and maptile states in the map settings, so you can probably expect those features to be in the next release. |

That's awesome, I look forward to that. |
Yes, except saved map states aren't stored in saved games (except for the NPCs on the current map) - that'll have to wait for a rewrite of the save game format, which is planned after the next release. _________________ "It is so great it is insanely great." |

I know this is a little bit off topic, but I have a question in regards to the future of the engine. Are we ever going to see customizable elemental multipliers. I'd really like to be able to make the "strong to" bitset reduce damage by half instead of 7/8 or whatever it is. Also, i know i've said this before but I haven't heard anything about it recently... when are we going to see an update in the experience equation? Maybe customization? I think James hinted at going that route a while back. Current exponential growth is ridiculous. It could use a lower coefficient and higher constant.
Maybe it'd just be best if anything were customizable. Damage math, aim math/stats used, delay time, etc. Anyway, I said my peace. See yah. _________________ My name is...

Probably, with time. There are requests on the buglist. _________________ "It is so great it is insanely great." |

Hi
I coded the smooth2x filter for ohrrpgce
basicly all it does is scan for matching diagnol pixels and if it finds a match it
it adds a matching center pixel
The effect is subtle, it doesnt change the colors but it has the effect of
smoothing out diagnol edges(all smooth like)
it works in 2x and 3x mode now but at the moment the change has to be hardcoded during compile time.
later;

This makes my game lose all the pixel work I ut into it. I can see this as good for game sment to look cartoony or people you just arent that good at grpahics. But now the scenes inteded to look gritty just look retarded. _________________ Indy OHR! and National OHR Month Contest going on now!

Don't worry. It will be optional and off-by-default. |

The effect isn't good for every game
but some games it works out pretty well in.
I like what it does to Sword of Jade.
