I agree about not following in their shadows, but it's not like SORR invented the idea of a shop or achievements. That also said, SORX as-is already has FAR more customization options than SORR in the option menus. Other than juvenile silliness like light sabers, ban hammers, and nude Blaze...

Thank you! Less than you think - most of the RAM it did use is a leftover 60MB sound file from the long form sound effect test. :) DC

No. Extensions don't have anything to do with a file's contents, and OpenBOR knows the difference. Only non-interlaced, 8-bit color .png files will be accepted. You can batch convert every .gif in a module to .png with Photoshop in five minutes. If you don't have that, use @Plombo's PalApply...

Next test... This one is a little boring, but it’s what you can’t see that matters: the tail end of a 9+ hour stress test against OpenBOR’s script system, running inside an active playable stage. The goal was to abuse the engine with deliberately ugly script-side operations and see whether...

Testing projected collision debug. Now you can see collision depth on screen: DC

OpenBOR can do the predator invisibility no problem if you want to insert that. It's a double buffer sub-screen effect. You can probably do it yourself already, but if not let me know and I'll show you. DC

+1 to what @Kratus said. Obstacle types are optimized to be extra light on CPU time - other than the "fly off screen" option, they don't have pain and death animations without adding script or using different types. They do have a normal hitpoint count though, much as you want. Must be something...

Very nice color edit @DD Tokki! DC

I should have look closer in my own answer. Good catch @Kratus! DC

I actually wrote a space library, though mine is pretty custom, so I can't just dump it here and it work for you. What I would suggest is **not** setting velocity every frame from the animation. Instead, place the behavior in the entity’s update logic and use an entity var to toggle it on or...

I wouldn’t say “tricked” so much as doing exactly what it’s meant to do, but yes - this is a nice technique. One word of caution though: loading speeds are relative, and they won’t always be as fast for everyone else as they are for you. The engine is pretty darn quick most of the time, but on...

You can script this of course, but I am looking into adding a native friction later on. It won't be until after I get the other stuff done though, because we just don't need it for most projects. DC

That's engine code @Bloodbane. If it was broken, the engine simply wouldn't compile and we wouldn't be able to release it. Plus, all it's doing is making a check to see if the target is far enough away and the entity has run animation or not. If it doesn't have a run animation - and most...

This is engine code. It's the logic that AI uses for determining when to toward a target. In 3.x, the distance for AI running is hard coded to > 150 pixels from target DC

It's not hard coded for direction - it's hard coded to only hit the target you are grabbing. There is a property called "hitone" that will turn that off, but don't use it. That's not what it's for. You'll be right back on here in short order asking why you can only use the attack it twice, how...

That usually means you just have a typo in one your animation names - exactly what the error says. Go over the model sheet carefully and check all your "anim <whatever>" DC

It happens, no big. As for the topic, I can try to explain another way if you like. DC

I already had my suspicions, but recent interactions - including a PM that went on for like three paragraphs about how he didn't care or something - confirmed it. The OP (Bwaters94) is a Wombat sock puppet. He shows up now and then to pull stuff like this. Sorry for the mess everyone. I'll...

Friend, you still are not getting it. You will NOT be able to do this on ANY engine. I only need to address this now to stop the unfair misrepresentation of OpenBOR and of other engines. There is no such thing as an RGB sprite in the hot path. I do not know how many different ways I can say...

Just as an add on, whenever someone asks about AI - I often feel it's a good idea to let the AI itself have a say, just as proof it's not me being a grumpy Luddite. When prompted to analyze this thread, here is what the LLMs have to say - verbatim: Prompt: Analyze and reflect on the following...
