I got an issue with that monster, it becomes invisible after reloading the savegame. I don't understand why.

I created it based on zimberzimber wisp monster, which has only a particle body.
This one has additional model and particle ratached to the capsule
I added storesourcedata = true to the custom model, but it doesn't change anything to the issue

If you spawn it from the console, all is normal, but if you save, without killing the monster, then reload, the monster is still there but invisible

I got an issue with that monster, it becomes invisible after reloading the savegame.

If you want help, make a small test dungeon that contains only this monster, and upload the Dungeon Editor files.

here is the export and the source:

I've run it a try again: Loaded the dungeon dat, saved, reloaded, then the monster is invisible.

I want to make the following. When the party enters a new area. I want a hudprint text to appear in the middle of the screen and the text should be bigger than the standard text. Is such a thing possible?

[Isaac]

There is a GUI text drawing function that can put text anywhere on the screen, but AFAIK, the largest GUI drawn font in Grimrock 2 looks to be the same size as the regular output from hudPrint. So the text could not be made bigger, only smaller.

The alternative is to create your text as an image. There are GUI image drawing functions that can place the image anywhere on the screen.

[THOM]

In ORRR3 we use GrimTK to draw bigger text on the screen. The source files will be released together with the update within the next days.

[kelly1111]

thanks for the reply. I will wait for the source files and have a look.

1) Create a new dungeon in the editor
2) Press "Play" to start preview mode
3) The party is now at 15/15
4) Enter into the console:
5 < party.x
Result: false
5) Enter into the console:
5 < (party.x)
Result: true

But:
1) Enter into the console:
px = 5
2) Enter into the console:
px < party.x
Result = true

edit:
If you replace < with <= the comparison with a number literal but no parentheses always returns true, e.g.
5 <= party.x
