Increasing the script size limit seems to have worked. I'll test it a bit more, but I haven't had any problems so far.

Switching to relational drawing doesn't work until I select relational drawing and go off the screen and back to it. Otherwise it just draws a 3x3 chunk of the combo I have selected.

I haven't seen that at all... Does it always do that? Not just with certain combos, or in certain quests?

Also, could we please get screen location markers for when we're placing warps?

Mark the destination on the map, you mean?
... Maybe.

Another bug I've found is that apparently setting ST_TEMPNORETURN to true doesn't seem to trigger the timer to disable ST_TEMPNORETURN after going to several other rooms.

It's supposed to last until you leave the DMap. Or am I misunderstanding you?

There could be a hitch with the flip argument. Right now flip 0 draws the combo with the default flip. However, flip 1 draws the combos current TILE horizontally flipped. ..so depending on what the combos set to in Zquest, flip = 0 and flip = 1 might be the exact same thing.. hmm.. Anybody want to come up with a method where this works as one would expect. ie; What is the expected behavior of this?

I would expect it to draw from the combo sheet rather than the tile sheet. Might take some work, though...

That's good to hear. That removes a lot of worries.

It doesn't seem to be related to any sort of specific combos, and it happens in multiple quests (even on a brand new classic tileset). It seems to be after you place a combo in normal mode. When you switch to relational drawing, you have to leave the screen and come back.

Yeah. I realize it's something minor, but it would be nice none-the-less

Ah. I haven't honestly tested that. I thought it was supposed to mimic regular ZC behavior of coming back after you go ~5-8 screens away.

Well.. this is my understanding of it: If a combo references a tile with the combos internal flip flag set to 0x03 and the user calls DrawCombo() with flip 0, then it will draw the combo without the flip - that is the way it is viewed in the tile page and not the combo page, which is wrong I think. So the way it works now is simply thus:

CODE

int flip = (user_flip_arg_flag & 3) ^ (int)newcombo.flip;

This leads me to believe no one has even used the flip argument in a script yet. (I sure haven't)

So would it be possible to have a DrawBitmap() that also allowed rotation? This would make certain effects really fast.

[Saffith]

If anyone's wondering, there's not supposed to be a new build there. The build packaging script triggers on any change in the published files, including (as in this case) deleting one of them.

When you hold up and left with diagonal walking on (Without it on? Not sure), he won't swing his sword, etc.

Whoops. Don't try and download anything above 1402 as Saffith pointed out. It is indeed broken for an unknown period of time. There is no new version that is supposed to exist on shardstorm. (I didn't intend to spawn a link there, sorry.)

Added... And now you are in charge of testing it .

As soon as you release a version with it, don't worry I'll test it for ya.

(I just hope it was either added as a second function or that it does not significantly slow down DrawBitmap). Thanks.

There's a (slight) bug in std.zh.

CODE

//Wait for n frames
void Waitframes(int n) {
while(n-- > 0) Waitframe();
}

To my knowledge, this will in fact not loop n times, but n-1.

I'm pretty anal retentive about things like this. It is indeed a simple conditional "if(rot != 0)" before it will even bother with rotation.

You're thinking of of the prefix decrement operator:

CODE

--n != n--;

[LinktheMaster]

Ah, my mistake. TIL about prefix decrement operator. Funny how I go through an entire Computer Science degree and haven't even seen that once.

[Saffith]

Exactly the sort of needlessly confusing detail that's better avoided, really.

Excellent.

That's not surprising, people oftentimes confuse these (except me... yeah right).

[MoscowModder]

I'm not sure if this is a new bug, but the Selected Item Name element on the subscreen only shows what's equipped to B. That means if you have Select A button item enabled, you have to equip an item to B to find out what it is called. It would be great if it always told you what was under the selector instead.

[blue_knight]

Is Build 1437 usable? If so I'll test the bitmap rotation later today (it will make some things much faster so I'm pretty stoked to try it out).

--Nevermind, it's still part of the unreleaed versions. Anyway when I build comes out I'll integrate the rotation feature and see how it works.
