The OHR already has smooth scrolling. I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Pepsi, the easiest way to do that is to turn off the map's display and use a plotscript with a textbox to simulate the display map name feature.

Thanks for the info. I am still a tad muddled, but that's best fixed with a little old-fashioned experimentation. After the Halloween contest.
Another question: I heard something about a new version of the master palette. Has that been implemented? I would be interested in seeing it.
This string management stuff will be a real boon for custom battle engines... |

Actually, it'd probably be easier to just display a string instead of using a textbox.

I stand corrected!
I am delighted that you went to the trouble of implementing string literal syntaxt correctly rather than the lazy way I would have done it if I had written the code ;)
Now that you point it out, I remember a conversation on the subject that we had on the subject back when you originally implemented this.
| The Mad Cacti wrote: | | There are other stack leaks. Every time you jump out of a WHILE with a GOTO in QB, you leak a little bit of stack. So if you quit to the title screen enough times, you will get an out of stack error. I think there was also another jump out of a while loop in the script interpreter. |
All those evil gotos can be re-written so that the WHILE or DO exit in a leakless way. That is the purpose of http://hamsterrepublic.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49
I already got rid of the easy ones, but there are still 29 GOTO's left in the code (not counting ON ERROR GOTO).

I just noticed the need for this too, when updating PushPush to use strings. I am not eager to disable map name display manually in each of 50 levels :P

That got postponed, but it will still happen later. See http://hamsterrepublic.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60

Are you using DOSBOX? It does frameskipping.
Or are you talking about OHR's low frame rate? (approx 16 fps)
As for layers, yes, that is currently still impossible. Maybe after the FreeBasic port is complete we can start thinking about that subject again. |

For the general public's edification, here is a list of things that WILL NOT HAPPEN any time soon, and yet people have asked about for Rusalka. These will take until the Windows port is complete. Actually, after, since we need time to implement them. So, I forcast at least 6 months, maybe a year, depending on the TLR*.
- Faces in text boxes
- Transparent tiles/layers
- A higher framerate
- Support for real music
* - Team Laziness Rating = 1 / (<number of things team says it'll do> / <number of things gotten done>)

That's a nice formula, except that it's an overly complex way of saying (things done / things we said we'd do).

Oh and Pkmnfrk, LOL at formula...

Shut up, it's 2:00 am here. You know how I am this late at night/early in the morning. Besides, overly complex is my idiom.

Take two of these and edit it in the morning.
Anyway, faces in text boxes can be done right now. Geesh.

Thank you so much for implementing the "Ctrl+T" translucent tile placing... Its pulled a huge thorn out my ass...
Now the only request I have for now is that the tilesets become bigger... Or a map is able to use more than 1 tileset...
Thanks guys

Yeah, since it outright says he's quoting me, NO.
And it took me a second to realize the boon we get out of strings. Strings are good. They are very good. I should do something with them. |

He may be thinking of the avatar. I dunno, I never watched the movie, but the sig definitely isn't -- as Unc pointed out, it's even credited to him.
