Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

Yes, of course! But it will still take a little time before the next release, because I'm just in the middle of a number of other changes and additions. (If it would be a mission critical bug, I would release a hotfix version instantly, but as "old engine" caves currently are not guarantee...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

I will have a closer look at it (both when played with R'n'D's BD engine, and with the original Krissz BD engine) and see what I can do about it. :) OK, just fixed it! The old Krissz engine must be played with a hatching time that is two game cycles (game frames in BD notation) less than the new Kr...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

This level seem unsolvable from the beginning, where the hatching phase tooks too long to be able to run away safely: Chayan's Boulderdash, cave 14 Check if it works fine in the original engine. As can be seen, this is an "old engine" cave, which unfortunately is not fully compatible with...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

Not a single common human life will be enough to play all of those! Thank you. You're probably right, so choose wisely what to play. ;-) But then, it's the same as with the GDash cave collection: Nobody will ever be able to play all those caves, but I hope that everybody will be able to find and pl...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

Thank you, igormakovsky, I'm pleased that you like my efforts to preserve the BD legacy! :) Regarding your mail to Krissz to ask for access to his BD site, I would suggest to just friendly ask again -- in my experience, he usually answers mails to him, but it may take some time. Regarding discussion...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

All "old engine" caves in the Krissz BD cave collection that were incorrectly converted could be fixed! :D The updated package can be downloaded from the first post of this thread, or here . At least cave "Arno 19 Flying quartet" (from the "Arno's Numbered Caves" cave s...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

I just have checked this case, and found the reason why this cave does not work as expected: The two fireflies that are just cycling should not start moving down, but moving left (which makes sense here, and results in the expected movement behavior)! :shock: So apparently this cave (and probably a ...

Re: Boulderdash conversion

Great work, HerzAusGold! :D Now that most of these newly converted and fixed (re-converted) cave sets have found their way into the semi-official, public GDash repositories, I have also updated and announced the corresponding GDash level package for R'n'D. Thanks a lot for this great effort for the ...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

Artsoft -- are you going to convert more Krissz's engine levels from more authors? I think you should do the levels from Insch and Lemming, just to name a couple of authors. Yes, there's more to come -- thank you for your suggestions of authors that you would like to see in the next release of the ...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

Thank you for your answers and for info on the outdated RnD version — I was using 4.4.1.1 Where do you write information on the newly updated releases of the Krissz compatible version? I should write it here, but just forgot it! :o Hope to remember it next time! :) In general, you will always find ...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with GDash game engine

Forgot to mention that R'n'D was updated to 4.4.1.2 and then 4.4.1.3 since my last post (which fixes a few bugs in the BD engine).

Updated download links can be found in the first post of this thread, as always. :)

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with Krissz game engine

1. Is there a limit for cave sizes in Krissz caves? 2. How do I change the tile size inside the editor like in Mona Lisa to make them smaller or larger? I see these settings inside .conf files. 1. Yes, the cave size limit in the cave construction kit on Krissz' BD site is 100 x 100 tiles. 2. This i...
