  • Thanks for the info on how to get images up.

    OK, here goes...

    Here is the latest 2D digital puppet Ive completed.

    Haha, that's awesome . I like your cartoony art style.

    I'd like to check out you puppets some time, you should find a file host and share those too.

  • Well they've already changed forum software once before and no old threads were lost. And the only person to complain about losing the old theme was me, so I recreated the original forum's Czar Green theme.

    If you want to see what the forums used to look like, try that theme (it's the best theme)

  • This is awesome work so far . Very nice job.

    I can't figure out what the newline character is, though. It looks like two pipes in the edit box to me, but when I type two pipes nothing happens.

  • I disagree, it pretty much is The Construct

  • Um... you can't make a camera like the one in the Witcher video you posted... because that's a 3D camera.

    As Davio said though, you can do isometric like Diablo. And Construct's scrolling already works like Diablo. You don't have to do anything special with the scrolling except have the screen scroll to whatever object you want to view.

    But he's also right about the isometric... it's tough to do. I wish you luck.

  • If you use the text concatenator & then you don't need to use str(). It's converted automatically.

    Like so:

    "Value = " & random(5) & "! lol"[/code:2oybl3oj]

  • Either...Im guessing a screenshot would be easier.

    I'm going to just post the whole process from beginning to end so if you already know this stuff, I mean no disrespect:

    1. With your game window selected, hold down the Alt key while pressing the Print Screen (or Prt Scn key as the case may be) on your keyboard to get a snapshot of your game window.

    2. Open MSPaint.

    3. Hold down Ctrl while pressing V to paste the snapshot into MSPaint.

    4. Save as a .PNG file.

    5. Find an image host (like TinyPic) and follow the instructions to upload your screenshot image. It will give you an URL.

    6. Copy and paste the URL (if you're using TinyPic then you want the one labeled "Direct link for layouts") into your post.

    7. Highlight the URL and press the

    button above the post window to add image tags around your URL.

    8. You're done, so post!

  • Try Construct 3

  • You mean you want to post a screenshot, or you want to upload some actual .exe or .cap files for us to try out?

  • Ashley just posted this in chat, regarding 0.99.4:

    [quote:n4245kh7](18:16:48) Ashley: - [FIX] Could not save applications with a music resource

    So hey, there you go

  • Confirmed the crash. There's no tracker item for it, do you want to post the bug report, or shall I?

    At any rate there is another known issue regarding sound resources. Even if you were able to save the .cap with sounds in the Sound folder, you wouldn't be able to use them anyway because the resource list doesn't show up in any XAudio2 actions. The workaround for now is to load external sounds. Rich is working on it.

  • If you like RPG games then play Fallout 1 & 2. They're pretty much awesome. Though 1 has a better story and 2 has a better interface.

    Haven't played 3 yet, so I can't comment on that one.

  • When I was growing up I was a total Nintendo fanboy. But now the only Nintendo franchise I'm not sick of yet is Zelda. But I started to get a little queasy with Wind Waker, and felt a little twinge in my stomach with Twilight Princess. If they don't do something truly new with the next game, it'll probably be my last Zelda game.

    I swear to god, if there is a fire temple with a fire boss, a water temple with a water boss, ice temple & ice boss, forest temple etc., I will blow chunks. FIND SOME NEW FRIGGIN THEMES. Or better yet... don't have themes for the dungeons. Take a page from Ico or SotC... sure, parts of SotC could be considered "themey," but it was very well disguised.

    Anyway, I'm quite tired of the same old game and the same old characters dressed up in fancy new graphics. Mario Galaxy was kind of interesting for a moment, but once the novelty of the gravity gimmick wore off I had to force myself to finish the game because it wasn't really all that interesting and wasn't very different from previous games. It was basically just Mario 64 with better graphics and funky gravity. And now they're putting out Mario Galaxy 2... wtf, why? It just seems like a cash grab to exploit the current generation of fanboys who grew up with the GameCube and haven't gotten totally sick of playing the same games over and over again. Yet.

    Grr. </rant>

  • this is just and excuse not to work on the onin pgin

    I think Rich understands how important his work on cloning pigeons is.

  • I believe Rich is aware of the Clone Layout issue. If I recall correctly, his response was something like "whoops, I forgot it lol."

    It should be back in a future build.

    As for copying events... that's what including event sheets is for . You game logic should pretty much all be made on separate events sheets that you include as needed. The only events on the sheets attached to layouts should be events that do something specific for that layout. That way you don't ever have to copy/paste any events at all.
