You probably came here wondering what joker5 is going to pull out of his hat this time. Well, it's jiggly, green, and has too many eyes. How'd that get in here?

Oh wait, here it is.

I was thinking about how hard it is to actually make some kind of story in DROD. The new characters alleviated my fear somewhut but.... really...... what kind of reward or ending can you make? Seriously? It's as bad as 1.6 in that respect.

So I propose Pie. You make your own sprite or download one and you say that if Beethro touches it the game is over and he wins. I mean what's the purpose of having to smite through a huge catacomb with scrolls telling you "This is the tomb of really really rich guy with lots of treasure here" if you reach the central area and lo and behold your reward for all that smitemastering is nothing but ANOTHER staircase?

A default sprite would be a flask of leaf-juice/wine, or some pie.

This will give the ending a greater feeling of tangibility.

And it'd prolly be hecka-easy to add in too.

Pretty please?

I'm happy now! Before that post I was afraid that this would be the Topic No One Would Touch With A 10 Foot Pole (TM) and would get neither rank points nor response, but only a few views.

Anyone else?

I can see it in my eyes!

Joker's quest for the holy pie!

Maybe you can make an image floor with a picture of a pie in it :)

I think it should be limited to a few to reduce programming madness, and assuming that going on the same square as it would end the hold:

1)Crappy little Idol
2)Strange bottle of something - leaf juice, elixir of youth, who cares.


Just a couple of suggestions. Maybe there could be just one picture in the data folder with the picture you want on, or a folder on its own for picures, for a lot of custom ones.

Me like pie!

To me, it just sounds like a one-square stair tile, but it would look a lot better for most holds. Take my recent hold, for example.

Judging from what's been said about JtRH, you could do this very soon if there's a scripting command for "end hold". Just put an image floor with an image of pie, or whatever other superb exit type you prefer, and set a script for "end hold when Beethro steps on this square".

Eh, yeah, but that makes it sound so bog-standard.

...

Could we make our own endings to holds? That would be SWEET!
