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...

There actually is a mode to let you get away with this in OpenBOR... but frankly I'm not interested in dealing with the followup issues you'll run into from using this method. That's what you're not getting. We're speaking long term productions cycle here. Sure you can kludge up some sprites...

Sorry I didn't see this. Localvars are unique to the script instance. Instances are not the same as files. The script file is kind of like a model, and then the engine loads ad executes a instance - you can think of that like an entity. Level scripts load and run during a level, and they are...

There isn't any. because no DLLs exist at the moment. Once upon a time, a lot of engine functionalities were handled by DLL. Reading .png files for instance. Those were long ago rolled into the main source. The old DLL API hasn't been used in years, but it's still there. DC

Welcome to the community @Bwaters94, Sitting member of my university’s AI Application Research unit here. The question isn't really whether the engine "handles AI." OpenBOR doesn't care where an asset came from. If you give it a proper sprite, it will use it. The real issue is whether current...

All, I've seen a few complaints on Reddit about people being spam banned with "no way to contact the administrators." This is one example (there are others): Here's the reality. If you register with an obviously fake email address, use suspicious registration details, or start posting...

Yes, you can upload, update, and all that. Here's the tutorial. If you still need help, just ask. https://www.chronocrash.com/forum/help/resources_upload/ DC

Third party links removed and moved to resource download. @Crimsondeath, reminder - third party download links like Mediafire are soft banned. DC

That's a bit different. I thought you wanted normal -> damaged -> Destroyed. If you want different levels of damage it's just a little more complex. Certainly doable, but I'm turning in for the night. I'll try to write a in depth if no one beats me to it tomorrow. DC

There's a couple of techniques you could use. Just for simplicity, I would simply reverse it. Instead of scripting the damaged animation on hit, make the damaged version the default state, and script the undamaged animation on spawn. Then all you have to do is let it go back to normal once...

I wrote a 3.0 compatible system that does exactly this some time ago. One you set it up, it becomes fire and forget in that you use the pause set function the same way you would another attack property - if the attack hits, the target gets defined extra pause added, simple as that. I don't have...

Netcode is not in my plans - it's not my area of expertise and the engine was never designed for it at all. Though part of my work is making the codebase simpler and more uniform by getting rid of all the port cruft and swapping out a lot of bespoke variables for bitfields. That will help to...

@Aerisetta, it's been over a year - please post any updates if you have them, otherwise I'll need to mark this project abandoned and canceled. Also, your YouTube account is showing terminated. :( DC

I still have this on the back burner, but with engine work and other original projects going, I'm calling Lucia's Run officially canceled until further notice. The character may (probably will) show up elsewhere, since this is all part of a larger universe my projects are set in. DC

Most things I plan to have done in the next couple of weeks. The tool will probably be end of summer. DC

Oh that's not a new functionality, just a little script to assist with testing. :) DC

Super long sound effects stress test. Sounds previously truncated ~one minute, now they are effectively unlimited (up to 2GB each). DC

I always thought that was a funny match-up in the Data East game. Whirlwind... vs. The Avengers?! Like Ironman wouldn't b*** slap him for ten minutes to AD/DC. DC *Edit*: I can see him taking Thor though. Whirlwind yells Thor will be escaping. Thor hits ground laughing. Can't get up. Whirlwind...

@Nogarth @Mr.Q!'s Final Fight Forever also uses the turtle sprites. https://www.chronocrash.com/forum/resources/fight-forever.175/ DC
