Castle Paradox

Wow, nice article. I'll have to use that. You know, once I absorb it all.

I can't believe the OHRRPGCE has progressed to this level. You can use the simpler levels to make a decent game, but you ...

I just upgraded from my 2008 version of the OHRRPGCE, and I was looking through the plotscript dictionary to see what, if anything, has changed.

Oh my.

Can someone point me to a resource that ex ...

Woah woah...unlimited length strings!?! 4096 global variables!?! Slices!?! (actually I knew about slices, but I couldn't tell you what they did)

I've been away too long! It is time to UPGRADE.

DOUBLE POST ROCK ON.

I decided to use base-2 fields instead of base-10 (more efficient use of space).

I also assumed that integers are 32 bit. If each field is 6 bits, I can squeeze 5 fields in ...

Howdy, it's only been, what, x years since I logged in?

I am working on a casual OHR project that will REVOLUTIONIZE the WORLD (in the marginal chance it ever gets completed). And I have a questio ...

In Perilous Plunge lite I changed Ctr to Bdy and used Body to represent the character's general vitality. Equipping objects (especially armor) reduces Body. If Body goes below zero, then Speed is re ...

Okay: I ran a test and this is what I got.

I used last Monday's nightly and the problem persisted.

Yeah; I haven't had this problem with any other key -- certainly not any of the other numpad keys.

I will start a new project and see if t ...

I am having an extremely odd problem with plotscripting.

The "key is pressed" command does not respond to key #76 -- numpad 5. Toggling numlock makes no difference, and the key works in ...

Oh cool.

I think you could have randomly-generated battles by having each of the enemy slots in the battle be an unique enemy ID. When you decide which enemies to have in the battle, copy the enem ...

I'm making SG3, Red's making HQ3, and OOIA's making Bloodlust. What I'd really love to see, though, is a good vampire game this year.

But ARE there such things as "good vampires?"

Tribes v. Civilizations

I think part of the problem is that the terms are being used incorrectly. A tribe is a (small[-ish]) group of people tied together socially -- a political unit. A civiliza ...

Woah -- Pitch Black 2 scored higher than Pitch Black!? I was unaware that anyone ever beat it.

Excellent. It worked like a charm.

Thanks a heap!

Unfortunately all the annoyances related to permadeath simply outweigh its benefits. On top of the frustration of just dying, the game makes you sit through a two minute cutscene with no option of ski ...
