This isn't a bug it's doing exactly what it's meant to! By default all cut scene bitmaps are shown with their top left corner in the top left corner of the standard DM view. Critically, this is independent of the resolution of your monitor. If you want to show it somewhere else, then just change the...

Fixed for V0.46

Just out of interest, what other item would you want to change it to!? The PIT_CEILING instruction is used to indicate the graphics that should be drawn on the ceiling on the level below the pit when it's open. If you want to change the graphics then all you need to do is to clone one of the existin...

Hmmm - what exactly do you mean by "transparent"? The engine doesn't care at all what the graphics for an object are whether they be in glorious technicolour or all pink (transparent) and so I can't see how this would cause a crash... ...however, instead, do you mean that the object has *n...

Fixed for V0.46

(fixed properly that is - you can now cancel edits to chests and I also fixed a similar bug with cancelling edits to items carried by monsters)

この地下牢は、すごいですよね！ これは私の意見だけですが。。。 Gambitは普通に音楽がありませんが、遊んでる時に好きになってきました。 イントロもあるのはとてもえらいです！ ゲームに入るが早いか話が見えてゲームの世界にも入る。 Now I think you might have just copy-and-pasted that bit because (unless of course you meant to talk about just how large the underground prison is and how the background music is une...

OK - the crash is now fixed for V0.46

There are some practical issues with rotating the switch (for example, should the rotation apply to the switch, or to an item that is clicked on the switch, or both?) which I'll take a look at later.

Hmmmm - I can see why this crashes (you're trying to rotate an item that doesn't exist), but am not sure whether the problem is with the trigger or the action.

Can you send me your dungeon.txt file (or, if it's easier, the entire *.RTC file) and I'll investigate further.

Hi, Did you download RTC on the day it was released? If so, it contained a bug that would produce the same symptoms as you're seeing here but I quickly fixed it and released an updated editor the next day. If you're using the original editor, then you can download the updated one which should fix yo...

As a half step towards this, RTC V0.46 can now take multiple bitmaps for each plot screen. In particular, this means you can have a large background static bitmap and then smaller animations on it - as an example of this, I've enhanced the CSB intro to use the animated version (as seen on the ST) ra...

Done for V0.46

You can now specify a duration for each frame individually. It's all backwardsly compatible too, so no need to worry about that.

RTC accepts both BMP and PNG files for *all* images (including cut-scenes). There is no restriction on the size / colour depth of images for cut-scenes though.

Now fixed for V0.46

Ahhhhh - i've finally managed to reproduce it. The problem isn't "Items dropped or thrown when standing on an open movable wall disappear from the game.", it's when the party is standing on a closed movable wall. Clearly a party can't walk into a closed movable wall, but what can happen is...

Hi Lunever, I can't reproduce this at all (either by creating a test dungeon with an open movable wall in it, or by using the save game file you sent me); I think something more complex must be going on than it just being as simple you describe! Can you reproduce the bug with a simple test dungeon? ...

Done already - There's at least 2 I can think of...

Done. For anyone that downloaded RTC V0.45 in the first two days after it was released and has an editor that displays the bug that Gambit describes, you can download the updated editor here . Note that if you have downloaded RTC V0.45 at any point on or after 9th April 2007, you do not need to down...

Fixed for V0.46

BTW; this bug will effect pretty much any edit box where you try and change it from "something" to "NULL" in the editor. If it starts to become overly restricting / annoying for anyone then let me know and I'll send you a updated RTCEditor.exe that fixes it.

Fixed for V0.46

Cool!

You can do all of skipping stuff suggested above with the existing mechanics. Simply create your intro with each screen being one big button that's as and give it a null action (i.e. so when clicked the intro ends and you get on with the dungeon), if you don't click, then the timeout action kicks in...

Joramund wrote:Maybe make it quicker by having page_up and page_down scroll between levels

That's already done (although it's the '+' and '-' keys to quickly change levels - page up / down keys scroll through the contents of a tile).

Erm, aren't both of those features already present in the editor? - You can select which level you want to view by clicking on the "level" icon (between the up / down stairs icons) on the toolbar and then selecting the level. - At the top of the screen for each level it explicitly tells yo...

Add a wall item of type WALLITEM_INFO_SCREEN and then trigger it.

There's an example in the CSB dungeon (the intro movie when you start playing the main dungeon) so it might be worth having a look at that.

The latest version of RTC can always be downloaded from the RTC Website: http://www.ragingmole.com/RTC For notes on the new features in this and previous versions, please see the RTC Development History Latest Version 0.45, 5 April 2007 Changes since V0.44: - Game: Monsters with no attack bitmap now...

Done the 2nd & 3rd suggestions for V0.45

Done for V0.45

Done for V0.45 RTC now supports displaying full-screen graphics at any time. These can be used for intro / ending sequences, or mid-game plot updates (in the same way that, say, the Eye Of The Beholder games did). Additionally, these screens can have buttons that can be linked to the dungeon mechani...

Done for V0.45

(well, not AVI / MPEG videos, but you can now have a slideshow intro like CSB does)
