Re: Advanced search

Thanks,
Indeed, I had tried +cave +story to see it does an OR too.

I hope the advanced search will be fixed, it is frustrating when you do a search on words which are likely to be in all sorts of posts.

Re: (not a bug) Damage adds up when hitting a wall

You already have the cumulative aspect shown in the health bar. As you mention a cumulative damage also needs another parameter to state over which time period. Add a flag to tell wether it is a sliding period of a fixed period ( when no damage any more, will it decrease regularly or drop to 0 at th...

Re: (not a bug) Damage adds up when hitting a wall

Thanks for your explanation of the CumulativeDamage.
It is good to be aware of this.
IMO the "cumulative" doesn' make sense and, it is confusing. The default dsb.ini should be without it, in order to show damage as of the original DM.
I updated my dsb.ini to CumulativeDamage = 0

Indeed, the Xeen serie was quite ugly, with a small viewport.....
But the plot, the features were so good, one was forgiving and forgetting about the look.

Thanks, this gives me a road map.
I searched and found a lot on the forums and the wiki, but I can' t figure out:
a) How to clone it.
b) How to give it a bitmap.
c) how to make it available in the editor.

Re: [RTC] Dungeon Survival

I think "dungeon survival" is not randomized.
It has options depending of which of the four caracters ( Elija Leif Halk Alex ) the player has chosen when entering the dungeon.
Playing with Elija, the three scrolls appreared because I solved a puzzle.

You can play with these sources to compare the GUI editors: ESB versus RTCEditor. You can run these games to compare the engines: DSB versus RTC. For DSB http://twinfalls....

Because it is telling the player, something he most likely, already knows.

The room is very small, it is much easier to find the fake wall than to find a clue in the 3 scrolls
