Boulder Dash Forum

Thank you, igormakovsky, I'm pleased that you like my efforts to preserve the BD legacy! :) Regarding your mail to Krissz to ask for access to his BD site, I would suggest to just friendly ask again -- in my experience, he usually answers mails to him, but it may take some time. Regarding discussion...

All "old engine" caves in the Krissz BD cave collection that were incorrectly converted could be fixed! :D The updated package can be downloaded from the first post of this thread, or here . At least cave "Arno 19 Flying quartet" (from the "Arno's Numbered Caves" cave s...

I just have checked this case, and found the reason why this cave does not work as expected: The two fireflies that are just cycling should not start moving down, but moving left (which makes sense here, and results in the expected movement behavior)! :shock: So apparently this cave (and probably a ...

Happy to be able to announce another update of the "Krissz Engine cave collection"! :) Caves created by the following "new" members have been added: Atarakushi, Chayan, Electronvolt, Heywood, Insch, Lemming, PMilan, Shredder and Zsom. Then, a number of caves have been added for t...

Great work, HerzAusGold! :D Now that most of these newly converted and fixed (re-converted) cave sets have found their way into the semi-official, public GDash repositories, I have also updated and announced the corresponding GDash level package for R'n'D. Thanks a lot for this great effort for the ...

There is an updated GDash level package for R'n'D available which contains both a number of new level sets and also many fixed level sets. Here's what was added or what has changed: New level sets: new level group "Boulder Dash +" which contains 10 level sets new level set "Caduta Mas...

Artsoft -- are you going to convert more Krissz's engine levels from more authors? I think you should do the levels from Insch and Lemming, just to name a couple of authors. Yes, there's more to come -- thank you for your suggestions of authors that you would like to see in the next release of the ...

Thank you for your answers and for info on the outdated RnD version — I was using 4.4.1.1 Where do you write information on the newly updated releases of the Krissz compatible version? I should write it here, but just forgot it! :o Hope to remember it next time! :) In general, you will always find ...

Forgot to mention that R'n'D was updated to 4.4.1.2 and then 4.4.1.3 since my last post (which fixes a few bugs in the BD engine).

Updated download links can be found in the first post of this thread, as always.

1. Is there a limit for cave sizes in Krissz caves? 2. How do I change the tile size inside the editor like in Mona Lisa to make them smaller or larger? I see these settings inside .conf files. 1. Yes, the cave size limit in the cave construction kit on Krissz' BD site is 100 x 100 tiles. 2. This i...

Good news! The cave collection with Krissz Engine compatible caves has just been updated! :D A number of new caves have been added that were created by those cave creators already existing in the last package. Then, caves created by the following site members have been added: Chris Neilson, Enrico, ...

I should make this more clear in the initial post! Just did that. Most of them are finishable. Yes, that's right. So I will keep them. :) Maybe in the future they will be compatible as well. Even though not planned at the moment, "old engine" compatibility could theoretically be added in ...

No, it's not your fault! This is one of the caves using the "old engine" (as marked in the main menu with a red "old engine" text in the lower right corner). Unfortunately, the BD engine in R'n'D is only fully compatible with the "new engine" caves of the Krissz Engine ...

Here are some answers to your questions (to the best of my knowledge): 1. Why Krissz engine levelsets are so much better and well designed than those, included into common BD levelsets? That's a good question! :D There may be several answers to this. First of all, the Krissz BD web site community pr...

As you support a few different engines - would it be possible to set the custom artwork for each engine separately (graphics/sounds/music)? It's a bit annoying to change it each time. I have never thought about this, but I see what you mean, and just changing the artwork between two graphics sets c...
