What is the purpose of this exactly?

If you become muted or if someone sucks your MP between selecting the attack and executing it, the bitset will cause the attack to fail.

It's like a dream come true!
I think a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain just now (to quote Captain Murphy)
Gonna test this right away!

I have to double post. My religion demands that I double post at least once every few years.
I noticed a couple things.
1) Oggs play from text boxes now. Whew.
2) Oggs still get cut off at the beginning and don't loop very well.
3) THIS!
I found a runaway pixel! It's hard to see through the blurred jpgocity of the picture, but you will notice a little brown inside the red circle.
Edit: Huh... can't get this problem to reproduce... Oh well. Guess it's not a huge deal anyway.
Blatant advertisement for Seed of Natrah...

Possible bug... not sure if anyone else is experiencing this...
While editing on the character portrait screen, I copied a picture and pasted it in a blank spot. After that, any time I'd press Ctrl on any other slot, it'd paste the picture again, even without having to press ctrl+p. It made it impossible to copy anything without ruining it first. Hopefully I'm explaining this well enough...

Xocolotl+ version of Vikings should be complete now. It stops at the exact same point as the Werewaffle+ version does, but there's a few extra features, some bugfixes and one or two new spell gathering scenes to work with. In truth, I won't be able to make a demo that goes further until SOMEONE makes a battle-remix of this song.
Some nifty features I've noticed - potions that target stats outside of battle SHOW the stat they're going to affect! |

Can you give me a song of yours to try? I'm not seeing this with any of my oggs.

Hrm... If you see it again, definitely let me know. A pixel out of place suggests memory corruption to me, and I *hate* memory corruption! Raaar!

Odd.. sounds almost like "P" got stuck. Is it reproduceable?

Yay! I'll release Xocolatl+ soon.

Hey, you are right! I think I forgot to mention that one in whatsnew.txt |

A small bug I've noticed:
To get borders to appear in the text box editor, I have to go into the border graphics editor first. This might be known already, but I just thought I'd point it out. |

Hmmm... I can't reproduce this one. Does it happen for you every time? |

Same here.
It doesn't affect game.exe, but I usually have to go into the border graphic editor to put them in cache so that I can position portraits properly.

Oops! Nevermind! Now I can. if you load your RPG file from the file browser, the box is blank, and its blankness gets cached. I fixed this in game already, but I did not notice it in custom.
I squeezed it into a quick re-upload of Xocolatl+ |
