  • Another US spelling check. Jewellry or Jewelry? I've seen both in contexts where it's not clear if it is the US that is being cited.

    Just a weird observation, outside of jewellry and jewelry, the only other spelling variant I've noticed is jewelery. It used to be really common in my hometown area in rural northern Illinois; I vaguely remember this was the way we were taught to spell it in elementary school about fifteen to twenty years ago, but you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who spells it like this anymore.

    Down south we pronounce jewelry like "jury" so a jury box and a jewelry box sound the same.
    In US English, is vapour spelt like that or is it vapor?
    I've got to the stage where both UK and US spellings look weird, so I'm unable to tell.

    I had the same conundrum with armor/armour.
    spellcheck marks armor as correct.

    It's actually spelled "xyzzy" is the reason why.

    Ahh, happy to hear it~ The VS plugins are super densely packed with stuff to adjust I know it's easy to overlook some handy little features here and there!

    Imgur have just messed up the image in my sig again - not the ones in the spoiler, only the one showing in the post.

    What alternatives would people recommend? Setting up an account on Github looks a nightmare.

    @gstv87 Thanks for showing how to get it centred.
    The url... etc. is that the wrap where I put the link to the store page?

    @Kes yes, your target link goes in quotes.
    reads "this link, read as image file. That, capture click and send to this link. And show the whole block centered".
    middle to outer priority.

    @gstv87 It's worked. I'm so relieved and very grateful for your help on this.
    @Trihan Just seen your new signature. Looking good, and so nice to have all your plugins in one place.

    @Trihan I noticed that the image for Jump into Java doesn't have its strapline - or at least I can't see it. Is that deliberate? It occurred to me that anyone who already knows what the image is referring to is fine, but anyone new is going to be left wondering what it's all about. I also thought from a marketing point of view it might be better to have Javascript central rather than Ruby.

    @Kes The honest answer is that I just never bothered adding it.
    @TheLastYuriSamurai As you appear to disable responses to all your posts this is the only way to comment.
    In your last post you have "continues it's fight." Nope. Should read "continues its fight."
    Allowing responses does make feedback easier.
    It's a cosmic plot against me.
    The main image in my sig has become a big red cross. It's still there on Imgur, but not here. Pics in the spoiler are fine, just not this one.
    Going demented trying to fix it and failing.

    two things you should try:
    -download the picture from imgur and re-upload it to the forums, not link it.
    -link the picture directly from imgur, to the file, don't use the 'for forums' link.
    Anyone have any idea why this sub forum, and only this sub forum, is in orange? Everything else is either green (unread stuff there) or greyed out (no unread stuff). It distracts me every time I see it.

    Yeah, this is aging me; I feel 10 years older. But I'll get there one day - probably 2 weeks after RM switches to another coding language.
    Let me ask you this - when was the last time you backed up? Can you afford to lose all the progress you've made since the last backup?
    Just asking.
    I have now bitten the bullet and changed the 'Primarily Uses' on my profile to MZ.
    Goodby VX Ace, we had a great time together but now I must move on.

    Ah, I know the feeling of sending a program to software Heaven. It can be tough sometimes.

    On my end, there's a particular program I'm going to be replacing soon that I've been using since 2010. We have some good memories, but it won't be going to software Heaven though. And it might be wrong, but I'm laughing on the inside!

    VS OptionsCore has no plugin commands, so no way of changing the default (set by them) settings. For a team which wants to give devs maximum control of their game this seems an odd exception.

    I kinda doubt that they're widely regarded as "a team which wants to give devs maximum control of their game". They kinda lost any chance of that title when they decided to obfuscate all their plugins. But as caethyril pointed out, you can usually find a way to make their stuff do what you want in the plugin parameters.

    @Kes - I'm not super familiar with VisuStella's plugins (and I haven't downloaded the latest version of their core demo project in over a year) so while I could probably help, it may be better to start a support thread instead.

    After fierce hand-to-hand combat, I think I can declare victory over MZ mapping layers. But sad that, unlike Ace, I can't do a screenshot with events showing. Going to post a screenshot in the Maps thread. If you want to be a hero, read next comment (not enough characters left here.)

    If a plugin writer could do an MZ version of the Ace script for events showing, the world would beat a path to your door, you will be decked with garlands, rose petals strewn beneath your feet, and the rafters will ring with your praises.

    Am I missing something here? The default folder for importing via the MZ Resource Manager is the image folder within your game. Surely that's the only place in the digital universe you would never want to import from?
    Wish we could change the default.

    @Sharm I have resources in many folders grouped by type. I want to be able to go to those folders with ease (especially if I've been compiling tilesheets) and import them in as few moves as possible. I don't want to waste my time having to copy them in, and I'm reluctant to save them directly to the project from GIMP because I then won’t have a full collection in one place. ...cont'd

    Wherever you import resources from, and for whatever reason, you will never, ever import from the folder which already contains everything you've already imported and nothing else. So why force people to start there? Ace defaulted to the last folder you imported from, which often was the one I wanted this time as well.

    LOL, I totally agree. They should probably set it to Documents by default.
    I honestly think that the most stressful task for releasing my latest game was editing my signature here. In the end I had to change from dark to light theme, I could not see what I was doing. Black text on dark grey background just does not work.

    Now to construct a thread in Completed Games.
    How did I not realise until now that your name is the beginning of kestrel and that's why your profile picture is a bird
    Am I the only one to find the constant flashing showing where you've clicked the mouse in MZ deeply, deeply irritating? It's visual junk which distracts from the map itself, imo. Hope this can be disabled.

I've been working furiously on a small demo slice. But with King Slime so busy assets have been slow to form. No matter! I've got the demo for rpgmaker MZ and I'm using the 20 days to make a short and sweet demo game of fighting alongside your rival/boyfriend hehe Kind of like a mini challenge to myself
Yes my images are back ^^, hopefully they won't disappear again.:kaoangry:
It's Sunday. Stop working and take a break. Relax a little.
Ooops ended up trying out making my own A2 tile page instead of testing doors everywhere. Went well so far I think.
I guess I'm done making a blue squirrel's life difficult for posting new threads on different forums.
That's just for today so don't get used to this, squirrel-ish friend! :p
