I guess I could use the mailing list for this, but I rarely see it used, so I'm not sure if it's still active.

I have a few questions about its functionality. First of all, we'll have to compile the scripts we make, right? This means they can no longer be viewed or edited by other persons than the author, correct? I sure hope so, bye bye cheating.

Second question, as there's no longer the ability to swap palettes, is there a way to add a particular "glow" onto the screen that achieves the same effect?

Third question, can you make a sprite transparent (percentage) at run-time?

Fourth question, is it possible to jump to a certain point in a music file? I mean, can I decide to start playing my MP3 30 seconds in the song? Or can I choose to loop only a certain part of the song? This could come in handy for any cinematics.

Fifth question, when I want to program my move commands, will I still need to insert the direction and stuff or does the engine immediately know what I mean when I say move to coordinates 32,48?

Sixth and final question, the deadline has passed, right? I understand the editor is taking up a lot of time, but is there a chance we could still see a release htis month?

Thanks for answering my questions, if there's ever a reply
