Excited! Insta-beta join!

Already have an idea for a mod--hopefully the editor has the features I want, ^_^

Might want to add to the OP for people to backup saves?

Good idea.

The following are the relevant snippets from dungeon.lua

Code: Select all

spawn("dungeon_pressure_plate", 22,5,0, "dungeon_pressure_plate_1")
	:setTriggeredByParty(false)
	:setTriggeredByMonster(false)
	:setTriggeredByItem(true)
	:addConnector("activate", "dungeon_pit_6", "close")
	:addConnector("any", "spawner_4", "activate")

spawn("cudgel", 22,5,3, "cudgel_1")

Since you seem to want the same thing as i do (a pre-activated pressure plate), placing a spawner on top of the plate that has a running timer (which deactivates itself once fired) and simple spawning a rock AFTER the level has loaded is doing the trick.

OR

A hidden pressure plate at the start of the level triggers the prepressure spawns while the player is still too far away to notice

I'm guessing without the steam version (gog.com version) we can't get into the public beta...

Great. Thanks Cirrus0.. I'll give those a try.

Editor Blinking?

Just started working with the Dungeon Editor, and I'm experiencing alot of 'blinking' in the main screen. This occurs whether the preview mode is on or off.

I am running two monitor, and the only other open program is iTunes. I figure someone else may have already reported this -- is there a known issue/solution?

Thanks!

Afaik you're the only one reporting. Do you have any DirectX tweaks installed?

Negative. I'm running dual monitors, using an NVIDIA GTX 570, drivers up to date. All I have attempted so far was to create a 'note' and I keep experiencing this flashing/blinking while editing it. I'll continue to work with other objects and see if it persists.

That's strange. We have dual monitors here at the office and no blinking.. Hmm.

EDIT: does it matter if you have preview on/off? Does window size have any effect on the blinking?

It was occurring whether the preview window was on or off, one of my first thoughts as well. I DID however increase the size of my preview window quite a bit. I've lowered that back down to test.

Although, I believe the blinking might have stopped when I stopped editing the 'note' prop.

I will try working for a bit more, then be taking a break. If it persists I will report back. Thanks!
