A new windows build?

44 replies · 7,320 views · Started 23 March 2008

First of all, I apologize for another one of these threads. ;p But I think alot of people are anticipating a new build after getting 758. *raises hand*

I know there are attempts being made to clean up and stabalize some of the stuff like windowed slowdown, large mode, etc. so if that's the case then disregard this thread. 😛

....*runs away fast*

Yeah, I've been checking Shardstorm like three times every day all week. I want Jmans Item override so I can begin a restructuring of my subscreen. 😃
But as always if necessary, take your time.

I wouldn't be surprised if he were kidding. That game is addictive. Then again, with his cryptic nature, we may never know.

This...

* ZQuest hotkeys changed: Freeform Combos is now F7, and Layers is now F12.

makes me want a new build even more! =(
This addition is the best thing ever!


* 'Doors' has been moved to the Screen menu, and the Scripts submenu has been moved to the Quest menu. Remember this!

That's gonna take some getting used to though �_�

The problem is that SOME of the devs are sitting on their butts not doing anything when they should be programming.

*notices a lot of fingers pointed at him*
*hides*

What, there are hotkeys for layers and FFCs now!? For the love of mercy, compile the build!

How about any build? I run windows, but you can't forget about Linux and Mac users. I'll be running one or the other if I get MY OWN computer. I'll probably get a Mac and boot Linux from it most of the time.

L wasn't kidding. Don't worry though, I should get something out soon enough. Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Let's add some incentive. First dev to compile a build for Windows gets so free reputation points!

First dev to compile a build period gets to eat the programmer pie <.<

What's in the programmer pie? Let's just say it's not legal...

I think you can do that one already. ...Lemme think here, F-flags, X-preview mode; then from there C-combo cycling, R-restore, and S-secrets. Works with ffcs and walkability and flags in preview mode also. Check it out, it's a time saver.

Oh! You've been away for awhile so there's lots more:

in tile page:

"M"ake combos, or after "C"opy, M will Move tiles.
"D"ungeon carving and something else too, I forget.
"O"verlay tiles, ctrl-O; Underlay tiles.
"B" -make selected tiles 8-bit. ctrl B, 4-bit.

in combo page:

"I"nsert combos, this one's friggin sweet! or Ctrl-I; Delete combos.

(I always forget if it's ctrl or shift on these....)

...actually just check out a thread I started in beta discussion, page 2 I believe. There's some extra Links by DN and ST there also. Definately worth a look. 😉

Here it is.

It could be worse... all the developers could be addicted to WoW.

I would say no wonder it's taking ages for a next build. I was thinking a big change or implementation could be taking so long and they're putting alot of effort in that hard work and I would be bummed if were to find out that they are too busy playing WoW and neglecting what they're supposed to do causing all AGN members waiting all their lives!😃

Sorry, I should have been a little clearer. What I meant was a hotkey to bring up the Secret Combos dialog box, which as far as I know still doesn't have one. That said, I didn't know a lot of the hotkeys you posted, and I'm sure I'll be able to make good use of them. 😊

*sighs* I think i've written about 3000+ lines of code this last month based on fixes since 758. Let this be a lesson..uh...don't count your eggs before they are hatched, whatever that means. Anyways it's been pretty quiet on the development front lately. How's everbody doing? And, who is the brawl champion?

Ptth, new hotkeys. What about the annoying paint bug??

Also, my two cents: We need a "Current Screen" selection in the Palettes tab in Graphics, so that small palette edits aren't so tedious.

So yeah, a new build is needed.

You are the one to talk :P. I could make a new build but I want to fix ZCL first before anything else.

Yeah you are so right. We got other things to worry about now. :P

Dark Nation wrote:Um, that was kind of the point. I was being ironic.

If you are cool with it I might try to make a windows build so everyone could start complaining err I mean report new bugs :P

Oh crap, Sean's doing something with his developer status OTHER than bundling ZCL with our alphas!?

Run! We're all going to die!!

Pretty please with a cherry on top

I counter Joe123's offer with my own: Pretty please with three cherries on top. 😊
