Wow, it's been awhile... In total honesty, I've just been distracted with a few other things lately. I have been thinking about DDM, though, and whether I'm going to keep adding to it or tear it apart and start another version that incorporates alot of the things that are missing. Like the ability t...

Also, if you're fixing this for yourself, you'll have to change a few more lines Eh. I have to wait for the next version anyway, for other fixes, but I'll keep that in mind. :) If this is a huge problem, I can see what can be done about it, but I really hate to rip this code up... Considering it ca...

(fixed) An 'on_move' error and some other random things...
First, I had a crash with this error: FATAL LUA ERROR: Lua Function sys_ai_near: base/monster_ai.lua:892: attempt to call method 'on_move' (a nil value) At the time I was in a room with a bunch of materializers, so I think the error came from them.

(fixed) Some help with wiping out and replacing inventory...
I needed a way to wipe out a champion's inventory, and replace it, and I have a method, but I'm not really happy with it. This is how I'm doing it - first, I iterate through all the inventory slots, and delete any instances found: --clear inventory for i_slot = 0, 29, 1 do local id = dsb_fetch(PARTY...

(fixed) Graphics.dsb and file importing
I think there's an error with the importation of several file formats. First, fonts can't be loaded directly from a file. DSB complains that the file simply can't be found. They have to be imported into the 'graphics.dsb' file through a utility like Allegro's Grabber - and even that doesn't fully wo...

Party facing and off-center tilepos triggers
I was experimenting with the new off-center tilepos triggers and testing to see if they could be implemented with party facing. It turns out they can - but only partly. They are triggered when the party enters the square, but not if they only turn on the square. I kind of needed this feature for the...

A quick bugfix is up. There's a scrolling glitch that cropped up when the hover location bit was added. The fix required it to be moved - it's no longer on the toolbar next to buttons, but has been moved down to the status bar at the bottom right. Also, the Vi Alter was mislabelled in the Archtype L...

In the method_heal function ('base\methods.lua'), line 563 reads:
Which causes a crash. That last underscore in the arguements should probably be a comma.

(fixed) Illlumulets and mysterious lights
I discovered a wierd occurance, by complete accident. I was putting together a collection of champions, but forgot to set the light level for the level (in DDM, of course). I noticed when I started the game, though, that the light level wasn't completely dark. The source of the light turned out to b...

I'm still trying to find if this in an error in the Lua code, but there's a crash if an object thrown or shot at a monster strikes them (it may be when it hits the ground after impact, I'm not sure).

(fixed) Monsters not found on center tile
I noticed that the search_for_monster function (base\methods.lua:262) doesn't check the center tile position, and so monsters standing there are never found, which means alot of attacks miss them. This code added at around line 280 seems to fix it (I'm not yet fully caffienated, so I'm not sure if i...

There are a couple of ways to handle this. One is to declare a global to contain whatever 'ROOT_NAME' the designer designates, so that it persists beyond the compilation. For example, this near the top: moneybox_base_name = ROOT_NAME And then you can use 'moneybox_base_name' where you'd normally use...

dsb_level_tint troubles
I'm not sure if I'm using the dsb_level_tint function correctly, because I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried it with various color settings, calling it at different times (in 'dungeon.lua' and during actual gameplay), with different light levels and sources (default, magic, torches), and the ...

That'll work. :) I did some testing, and realized that I was half-wrong. I thought that if an on_throw existed for an arch, it would supercede sys_mouse_throw : in other words, the event function would have to handle all the power settings and stuff and pass all that to dsb_shoot all by itself, and ...

I just noticed something; there isn't a way for an arch's 'onthrow' event to tell whether it was called from a mouse throw or a method throw. Now, normally this doesn't matter, but it could lead to a potential problem if the designer is using both 'onthrow' events and making changes to calc_tpower a...

DSB's idle
I was working on a EOB-esque two-weapon system for DSB, and was wondering about a few things concerning how DSB's champion idle works. First, I noticed that it blocks mouse clicks in the attack option area for that champion if it's above 0. Under the old system, this was probably neccessary, but now...
