Disabling T-Engine mouse cursor

Is there a way to use the OS cursor in modules without changing people's ToME settings? Oh, and same for the metal UI scheme (I'd like to use the old stone style).

For the UI, in your load.lua near the top; do:
Code: Select all
local UIBase = require "engine.ui.Base"
UIBase.ui = "stone"
For the mouse, in your Game.lua define two methods:
Code: Select all
function _M:setMouseCursor()
core.display.setMouseCursor(0, 0, nil, nil)
end
function _M:updateMouseCursor()
core.display.setMouseCursor(0, 0, nil, nil)
end

Thanks! Works great :)
Another little question - how do I get the game to pause for a fraction of a second? I can't find a good generic lua answer, and figured there must be something built into the engine, but can't find anything in the luadoc.

I'm not sure what you want exactly ?
What should pause ?

Game input and further actions, but graphical effects should continue. In Rogue Rage one of the attacks does a chain lightning style thing through several enemies, but moves the player about as it does so, but it's confusing because it happens in an instant. I'd like a 10ms pause between jumps to show what's going on.

Well just set a flag at the start and end and check it in your mouse/lkeyboard input.
As for doing something with a delay, it depends, if it's a particle you can have a callback when the particle ends. IE:
Code: Select all
game.level.map:particleEmitter(x, y, 1, "some_particle").on_remove = function()
....
....
end

It's mostly for dramatic effect. 'Juicing' as I it's referred the in the indie scene.

I needed to do this because when monsters would spend their action points, the flyers would be all on top of each other and other monsters would warp all over the board.
I used:
That pauses the engine for 100ms.
