[Ohrrpgce] Gorgonzola time?

Sun Apr 19 20:17:32 PDT 2020

He didn't get back, but I just tried and can reproduce the problem myself
(I failed to test from Custom before, so error messages were hidden). The
problem is that a script in pixel-walker v2.2 does this (simplified):
    for(hero, 0, 3) do(
        setSliceWidth(getHeroSlice(hero), ...)
        ...
    )
kylekrack was using fufluns.
pixel-walker v2.0 shows the same errors, but v1 from 2017 doesn't.

So, that's unfortunate. I think it would be difficult, messy, and bug-prone
to support the old behaviour as backcompat as well as the new one.
However, pixel-walker v2.2 doesn't actually support caterpillar parties
anyway (the gif demonstrating caterpillar parties that kylekrack posted is
unreleased work). The whole reason I made this change was to make it easier
for pixel-walker to properly support them.
I tested adding heroes to the party, with caterpillar party enabled, in
pixelwalker v2.2 in nightlies and fufluns, and once you skip over the
errors, they actually behave identically: the additional heroes appear on
the map in the wrong location, like pushable NPCs that don't talk.
So I think the problem here is just that a script error is shown, not that
we need to actually support the old hero slice behaviour (unless there's
some other game which depends on them, which I think unlikely). Maybe we
should add a backcompat bit which creates some dummy hero slices (which are
never used) and returns them from getheroslice for nonexistant heroes.
But pixel-walker v2.0 was only released in February so the backcompat bit
might just be a waste of time: alternatively we could do nothing.
