I think it would be confusing if the nut had variable effects.

With very small letters and in parenthesis: (all effects are confusing...)

How did you do that? It doesn't happen for me. If you can reproduce it, send me the replay!

I have to admit that I do not know anymore! After trying it again it didn't happen again. Hmmm. Maybe just a random error? Nevertheless I think you should give us a third convertion option in the slime properties for things like the nut. So Diamonds and Boulders behave like expected but adding a third element which can be converted...

I do not know if this is right, but when I use the voodoo-doll-option "Any way hurt, player explodes", the player explodes in both cases (e.g. when touched by a firefly). No matter if the option is on or off.

be more explicit, please! you quote "both" and then you give one example only...

If a firefly or butterfly touches the voodoo-doll with the "Any way hurt, player explodes" option off, the player still explodes. But the option implys that it should not explode, doesn't it? With the option on, the player explodes, too - and it should explode ONLY when this option is switched on!? Shouldn't there be a difference? Or do I have misunterstood something?

By the way: This does not happen if a stone hits the voodoo-doll. If a stone hits the voodoo-doll and the option "Dies if hit by a stone" is also on, the voodoo-doll dies but the player does not explode if the option "Any way hurt, player explodes" is turned off. This is the right behavior I think.

that's how the whole thing is supposed to work!

But in the explaination for the "Any way hurt, player explodes" option it's mentioned that "the player will explode if the voodoo is hurt in any possible way, ie. touched by a firefly, hit by a stone or an explosion". So this implies if the option is OFF then the player does not explode if the voodoo-doll is touched by a firefly or butterfly...

Ok, i will explain it in the help and the settings! It is simple btw: with this setting OFF, it is a normal, C64 voodoo. With this setting ON, it behaves like Dustin has requested

(I saved the german translation, thanks!)

OK, then it behaves not the way you described in the help text. Good to know! I thought it was a bug...

Cirix, if you have time, could you please update that graphics file I sent you (bd2) a while ago to the newest dimensions? I tried saving it in GIMP with an alpha channel, and that worked, but now the caves are only displaying in the default colors within the file itself for some reason. I'm excellent with image editing, and not nearly good enough to get these graphics files to work.

Good work on the new version, though!

I cannot really find that file, sorry... Send me the image again, and I will check it!
If you load a c64 gfx png, and it displays in the game with those colors that in the file, then those colors are not full-brightness ones. You see, you need #FF0000 for red, #FE0000 is not ok - for example. That may be the problem. Not very user friendly, though

I did an eyedropper test, and it had all F's and 0's in the right places. Maybe the bit-depth is wrong or something.

ADDED
Well, I managed to fix it in gimp by posterizing the color down to 2 levels...don't ask how that worked.

It shouldn't have made a difference, since I already checked to make sure the colors were right...
