Spellbook letters

Post by Lunever »

In RTC-DM 0.19 I have a "W" or a "@" beside every spellrune, that looks quite silly.

Do you mean on the blue selector, on scrolls or in the spell book? Can you send me or post up a screenshot please?

I have a suspicion that you're referring to the shadows from the runes that are floating in the air, but if not I'll look into it immediately.

It's in the spellbook, black "W"'s and "@"'s besides the shadows of the runes of the book as well as white ones beside the book itself.

BTW, what tool do you recommend to make screenshots from RTC?

I wouldn't like to recommend anything, but I'd press the "print scrn" key to make a copy into the Windows buffer, then use MSPaint to paste it straight into. You might have to be running in windowed mode to do this though...

...now that you come to mention it, I'll add a print screen keyboard shortcut to RTC...Alt+P probably.

I suppose I have to change some settings to get into the windowed mode?

you can just hit the key regardless.. it will store the info untill you get out of RTC.. you can always hit Alt-Tab to change from RTC to the desktop and then back again..

so find the problem hit 'print scrn' then hit Alt-Tab and then load photoshope, or windows paint if you don't have that, and make a new document and then hit the paste option (the hot key is ctrl-v)

To get windowed mode, just enter the tab delimited line

FULLSCREEN NO

Personally I use this all the time unless I find a bug, and use paintshop pro to screen capture directly
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

Fixed for V0.20 (both the original problem with the spell book, and I've added a print screen function activated through Alt+P for future use).
