Beastie, I posted a topic of PalApply long ago.

Also, I posted my video of "How to Use OpenBORStats" in case for those who really don't know how to use it. esn23 requested me to make a video of it for him though.

original post removed to make room for this section
 
@maxman - Cool, if you can, copy anything you got from cavern over here.  I'll make an effort to copy all info/tutorials on cavernofcreativity for you guys too, feel free to copy anything from openbor.boards.net yourself over to cavernofcreativity and here also.
 
I think you need to sticky this thread up here in case anyone wants to check for help. Otherwise, it will stay till it reaches to page 2 and so on.
 
Beastie, I just uploaded PalApply to the Tools section under downloads section. Please copy this link to your thread.

http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item11
 
OpenBoR Limits:
http://www.caskeys.com/arc/games/openbor/wiki/index.php?title=Limits

This list is actually out of date, but it should give you a good idea; almost every numeric facet of OpenBOR is effectively limited only by how much memory your hardware has available. - DC

Oilusionista Asked for this to be added. :)
 
I don't see a problem. If we could have something more straight foward to help people to learn, why not?
For example, we have two big wiki about the engine, both have unique contents, but both share many content. Are they just copies? No, they are helpful. For another example, my question isn't on one of the wiki.

Information and knowledge is never too much.
 
Hey Whoa! Spamming is a heavy accusation brother. Slow down. The purpose is just to be helpful. I copied it over from another thread because a fellow member asked for it to be so. I understand your point, but please choose your words.
 
Maybe we're just misunderstanding each other. Tonality is not easily detected through text. (Unless it's all caps, LOL!) In any case I can see how we might be misinterpreting our words as antagonistic. If I came off wrong in any way, I apologize. With as much help as I wind up asking for sometimes... This is the last place I wanna even think about arguing with anyone.  ;D

Lastly, a request if possible?
@Admin, Would you please delete my preceding posts. When people look here for help, I don't want them to have to swim through unrelated things to find it. 
 
Spriting from scratch in SFA3 style. I'm linking you again on this, Beastie.

More updates and additions,

While I was overseas and absent the forum started getting very busy, so I need to go over many posts again,
feel free to post anything you think is still missing.

Cheers.
 
You missed this, Beastie. It's Damon's Sprite pack.
