Just in case you missed it...
Along with the blinding release of a new, apparently kick-ass version of Aleph for OSX, (which means little to me, since I don't have it), there was also a very quiet updating of the Phfortran codes. Here's the new stuff...
- Supressed the need for the 'Pfhortran Language Definition'. (Loren Petrich)
- Added direct Light & Platform Control. (tiennou)
- Added ability to play a sound. (tiennou)
- Added player control without the keyboard. (tiennou)
- Added remove item/weapon instruction. (tiennou)
- Fixed a bug in Monster_New. Now works if another monster using the same shapes is presnet on the level. (tiennou)
- Added "not" operand. Returns the boolean opposite of a value. (tiennou)
- Added ablility to start a fade. (tiennou)
- Added procedures light_activated & platform_activated.
Used when a light or a platform changes state anywhere in the level. (tiennou)
- Added fog presence toggle (tiennou/Loren)
- Added instruction returning the current player poly. (tiennou)
- Added more monster funcs for Mode, Action & Vitality. (tiennou)
Yup, all that groovy stuff. Use this now, and you'll never need to use a silly platform trick again. Very, very cool.
Just in case you don't know where all this grooviness is, it's on the source.borg page, under the "Content Creation" link.
