I've found another 'feature' that I don't really approve of.

In the attack editor, pressing Alt shows the spell's name and number on the right-hand corner of the screen. This is kinda pointless and also prevents you from entering special characters without using Ctrl+Space.

OH! Now I get it. I didn't realize you could scroll through attacks with it.

I do miss being able to type in special characters, though. (I use them with every attack)

You could also assign your special characters to, say, Ctrl-Shift-___, which is what I do.

(James forgot, or implied, that you can also navigate using the left and right arrow keys)

Do I need to erase some temp files or something? Because I downloaded Trigo. and I'm not seeing any of the updates (Custom works perfectly with all the updates) aka BackRoundAnimation,HangingNotes. The colors & all are fine but those two thign still aren't working for me. I also have a few nightly releases, the original FB/Allegro, and the the old DOS versions all installed...So would that be disrupting them?

You can try deleting all the existing game*.exe and custom*.exe programs, and install it again.

Urgh, this is why I don't like the installer. It's harder to keep track of where everything goes... No, no, no...

I'm not being bothered by the installer. However the thing with colors, I explained in the Serendipity thread is still a mystery for me. Is it in the source or is the fault in my computer. Has anyone else experienced these problems?

I may be able to shed some light on this so called graphics problem. The issue seems to creep up when running the Windows version of Custom and Game.exe in full-screen mode. I run with a 1280x1024 32 bit depth, on an ATI Radeon 7000, with Windows Xp Pro SP1, on a Pentium III 600 MHZ, 416 Mb Ram. What seems to happen is the in game palette seems to become corrupted, and display other palettes. In the graphics editor specifically, you'll occasionally see one or two different palettes, one that seems to heavily focus on halftones and resembles the default Windows 256 color palette, and another that seems to garble many of the grays and replace colors altogether. Putting the screen back into a window seems to display the correct palette at any rate. I haven't noticed this issue whatsoever with the QBcustom or QBGame at all, so the fault likely lies with the recently rewritten code for the OHR's graphics. Or so I'd think.

There's another bug that creeps up with the map editor too. When editing an NPC, if you select the palette and press Enter, you'll lock up the program. This has happened numerous times for me, where it USED to bring up a selectible palette for that NPC, so you could view a list of them. This bug makes that impossible now.

[quote="James Paige
Yes, other people have mentioned the colors problem, but I have not been able to reproduce the problem on any of my computers (and I am not sure whether any of the other developers have been able to do so)

What version of Windows are you running?

What is your screen resolution and color-depth?

Have you downloaded http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/archive/ohrrpgce-binary-win-nightly.zip and tried the alternate graphics backends?[/quote]

Windows XP Home

32-bit 1024x768

Don't have the possibility yet. After I get the net connection back to my home, I can give it a shot.

Now, usually, when you use the fill tool, while editing graphics, custom.exe locks up as well.

I'm getting the same problem as some other people. The program crashes without warning whenever I'm playing MIDIs in the Import Music menu. I have yet to test if this also happened when I'm playing the game... but this is the exact same problem as I had with Serendipity.

Sorry to double post, but I'd like to add that I remember that this wasn't a problem in the version that used sdl.
