Fake walls that look like solids?

Ceri JC · Post by **Ceri JC** » Tue May 26, 2009 8:32 am

I was just wondering if anyone knew whether or not it was possible to make walls which look the same as the (default/original shade of) blue solid walls, but function just like fake walls (or empty spaces in general) for the purposes of
#if blocked
detection from adjacent squares.

I've checked several STKs, but can only find these for the additional colours (that the STKs/KevEdit introduce). Anyone know how to do this or a game/stk where there is a tile like this I can swipe?

Thanks in advance.

if you take a flashing blue on dark blue fake wall and view zzt through blinkx (a program that makes all blinkies look like light coloured backgrounds), you can do this.

otherwise, you are out of luck. blinkx is available here http://zzt.org/zgames/b/blinkx.ZIP

Thanks for that. I think I will just change the existing solids to normals and use solids to denote something else where this won't matter. I'll check out blinkx anyway as I'm sure I'll come across things in future where this is useful.

Or you could change the Solids to Deep Blue Text Solid. Which is just the 32 character or 255 character of Text. You can use dark blue on dark blue fake to simulate.

zamros should finish "don't get cornholed". that will save zzt. a game about a homosexual zombie plague.

I've been meaning to post something ZZT-related, but I haven't finished it yet. Maybe tonight...

(It's not a game, so don't get your hopes up.)

too late!

Also, Dr. Dos has been programming some awesome stuff recently, and it looks at least partially compatible with ZZT.

and he's been doing it behind our backs!

(i rarely look at ljs)

I've got some heady progress done on my cat game, it's about double the size the demo was.
