Nullpomino Guide

i had the exact problem u4l and paul have but it went away for unknown reasons and its all good now.

one thing to uncheck is perfect fps, i didn't change anything else from the default settings.

i'm using the swing version btw since the slick version doesn't support my keys (numpad 5 without numlock on) (and sadly the same with cultris)

cheers

Now my Nullpomino will freeze up and it will tell me that javaw.exe stopped responding. This is a real pain to deal with, considering it causes me to get lag spikes as well as having to terminate the game completely and RE-open it. I have the latest java version installed, but if anyone else experiences this issue let me know.

Paul, I agree that the settings are provided are optimal in 1v1 but in FFA I can get dismal FPS such as 32, for this I have found no cure, but keep me posted and let me know if you find anything out. Thanks!

Is harddrop.com not working anymore? Servers down?

Can't connect via netplay.

That server is down. Connect to nullpo.it.cx.

Nullpomino is great, but there's no sound!!!

EDIT: I read the "readme" and it works when I go through "play_sdl.bat" instead.
The readme writes: "Aside from random crashing bug which I can't fix it, it's most stable for 32bit PCs".
So seeing that most PCs are 32bit, "play_sdl.bat" should be used by default, not the exe we have now.

Could someone please add the missing mode "Dig Challenge" and any available info about it? It's not listed in the Wiki either.

I'd also like to find out if it's possible to choose which piece you'd like to start with when playing "practice" mode.

I'm overflowing with infomation. I'm still a newbie. I can't understand almost all of it. anyway I'm going to practice all of it one by one. Thanks for this very dedicating tutorial.

Go to your nullpo folder -->replay, and choose the records you don't want. You gotta know the name of the replay though.

I am trying to figure out how to fix a replay file. Here is the story:
I opened Nullpomino, then opened the rule editor (I thought about modifying the block skin AFTER the fact) and I modified the block skin for the StandardFriends rule and saved the change. I then closed the rule editor, started a game and built a pattern. While I was building my pattern, I realized that the skin isn't the one I wanted, but figured it could be changed later, so I just kept building and finished my pattern. I then closed Nullpomino, opened the rule editor again, changed the block skin for the StandardFriends rule again, closed the editor, then ran Nullpomino. I verified I had the correct rule selected, then loaded my replay file (which uses the same exact rule), but the block skin is still the previous one I chose, rather than the one I changed it to later.

I told Zircean about this and he said that he's sure that it can be changed in the replay file, but he doesn't recall how to do it. Does anyone else know?

Thanks in advance!

Just tried this out: open the replay file in a text editor. Find the line that says:

0.tuning.owSkin= #

and replace # with the number of the block skin that you want.

Delayed reaction: Thanks StS
