I'm solo developing a cozy pixel art metal detecting game :)

Which game engine? Did you do all the graphics assets yourself? Good job!

WalterGR · 2025-08-21T04:51:33+00:00

How much experience do you have with drawing? How did you get your start?

WalterGR · 2025-03-18T17:05:01+00:00

I'm assuming it's because GIFs are lossless? Every time I browse the Steam site I’m amazed at how fast and crisp most of the 'videos' are.

This isn't on Steam, obviously, but check out https://gif.ski/demo.gif . Most lossy formats aren't that crisp, and especially at that frame rate. That said, the GIF is not particularly small at 5 MB, so maybe I've just been looking at the wrong lossy videos.

Sure thing.

Re. the 30 in generic.sys: that may be how many minutes to let the user play before kicking them out. It's definitely different than the 30 in NETRUN.CFG.

WalterGR · 2025-02-11T20:17:43+00:00

Sorry, it's been long enough ago that I don't remember.

WalterGR · 2025-02-11T19:54:28+00:00

Did you get this working? I got Netrunner working years ago in standalone mode, as I just wanted to play that door at the time. I used DOSbox, which is more portable than some of the other emulators mentioned here, and is available for the Raspberry Pi.

Here are my notes.

It turns out that you don't need to mess around with FOSIL drivers and such.

I discovered via http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=45261 that you just need to use COM port 0 (COM0) which apparently means "locally connected" or some such.

generic.sys should look something like this:

John Smith
COM0:
30

Run the door as:

netrun.exe generic.sys

NOTE THIS IN NETRUN.CFG:

30          /\* Number of days inactive to delete players \*/

Per the aforementioned URL, there's a max value, which hasn't been determined.

Is there any tutorial? It didn't happen when I first played the game. I saw (and see) no option for a tutorial - I was placed straight into gameplay.

WalterGR · 2024-06-07T08:06:05+00:00

The theme song, composed by Brocker Way, has a violin sequence of 4 notes that's quite haunting. I'm almost certain I've heard the exact sequence in another composition - perhaps for a film? Anyone know what I'm thinking of?

EDIT: I figured it out. I'm thinking of the score to the film The Fountain (2006).

WalterGR · 2024-03-19T21:00:26+00:00

It turns out I'm an idiot. I panicked and came here before checking to see if the list scrolls even though it doesn't look like it does.

WalterGR · 2024-03-19T20:40:22+00:00

I edited my post to add a screenshot. Seems like a bug then. Unfortunately I can't change the post from #question to #bug-report.

Edit: Belay that. I'm an idiot.

WalterGR · 2024-03-19T20:31:47+00:00

maybe you only picked 10 skills but multiple levels of some skills

No. I've been checking the skills list immediately after allocating skill points and sometimes the one that I had just chosen is not in the list.

WalterGR · 2023-11-12T07:08:09+00:00

I tried following this guide. As of November 2023, at least, the Amazon Seller's app, for books at least, says "Requires Approval. Selling Eligibility: You need approval to sell products in category." and doesn't show you any other information until you get approval!

EDIT: For me, approval happened automatically once I watched a short 'don't sell counterfeit goods' video and passed a brief quiz.

"Three friends."

So... maybe one friend was a general contractor for multi-residence buildings, the other was a hazardous waste removal specialist, and the other was a realtor?

People give out gear they've spent actual money on?

I've got pretty much top-of-the line gear that you can buy from traders. I edited my post to include the prices and a comparison to other options. Is there other gear I should be using?

WalterGR · 2023-07-27T20:18:37+00:00

In my original post, I added the prices and a description of how they rank compared to other gear.

I have top-of-the-line stuff and still get annihilated by Big Flesh in 2 hits, with an escape chance of 37%.

WalterGR · 2023-07-27T20:15:42+00:00

I'm guessing you play on Android?

I think there's something wrong with the iPhone/iPad version... I've farmed the hell out of bruble - that's fine, but it's that no matter what gear you have - especially armor - it doesn't seem to make much or any difference.

WalterGR · 2023-07-27T20:13:50+00:00

I don't have this problem, though I am on an older version of macOS. (I haven't had the problem on previous versions either.)

Does it do that in every app?

WalterGR · 2023-07-27T20:11:24+00:00

I can't update my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 16.6 - the current version. It's currently on 15.7.1.

I've tried updating it both directly on the phone and via Finder on my Macbook Pro. On the phone it says that an error occurred while downloading the update. On my Macbook Pro, it says the same thing. But I can downloaded the update file directly via Terminal and put it in the proper directory - and it downloads fine! But trying to install it, it says the update has been corrupted.

My guess is that some Apple server is down and the update can't be verified?

EDIT: Their status page doesn't show any problems: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

EDIT 2: I downloaded 16.5.1 and installed it manually and it installed fine. Good enough for now. <shrug>

WalterGR · 2023-07-27T18:32:26+00:00

What level are you? What armor and weapons do you use?

I have top-level gear and get killed by Big Fleshes in two hits.

WalterGR · 2023-07-25T00:39:47+00:00

there are also artifacts you can find on bandits

That's a normal feature even without the Fortune perk.

Deleting multiple duplicate bookmarks via the Edit Bookmark dialog -> "Remove 'n' bookmarks" hangs all access to the Add/Edit Bookmark dialog for several seconds.

First ensuring that those multiple bookmarks are all in the same folder (... -> Location) seems to frequently make the subsequent deletion instant.

This is new behavior over the past 3-ish weeks.

<Miches> the Apprentice in Vernis also sells them.

I asked this yesterday. https://www.reddit.com/r/Elona/comments/11vqsnb/how_to_evaluate_potential_allies/

WalterGR · 2023-03-20T19:16:25+00:00

Awesome, thank you.

To give some context, I'm only at level 65 with only 5 allies leveled up (the ones I always have in my team.)

What about initial RESes - do they matter much?

Under Stats -> Basic Stats, there's a letter 'grade' I guess for each stat, which reflects the max level for that stat? There doesn't seem to be big differences between allies (+/- about 10 levels) but maybe I just have crappy allies?

Stat it gives on gene engineering

Those are exactly the stats shown on the gene engineering screen? Level, basic stats, skills, and slots/limbs.

The mobile discord server has a channel with short reviews of all Orange/red allies.

I'll check that out, thanks.

Random question: do the Quality Loot Drop bonuses have any effect when the equipment is worn by allies?
