  • Pointless? The point is you wouldn't need to use PNG. Could keep your BMP or whatever and still gain the filesize. (I don't need such a feature, I'm just pointing it out).

    Also, when I say zip, I mean all formats. Rar, 7z, Ace, etc.

    EDIT: I should also note I think PNG is obviously the best method, I just can see why someone might want an alternative.

  • Maybe a better option would be to zip them and unzip at runtime. Possibly even adding something so that Construct could do this.

    That way, you'd have the file size reduced for downloads, but not reduced in quality. Also, you'd be able to put a password on the zip to keep people out (until they figure out where the files are stored at runtime anyways).

    I have no idea if this is possible already or whatever, just what I would do if it were up to me.

  • Well, that example has made me curious now if the addition is indeed needed.

  • deadeye:

    If you still plan to give Oblivion a shot, I suggest this mod:

    http://elderscrolls.filefront.com/file/ ... haul;68542

    There are also other mods on that site that change how enemies work/level, but the one above is the most popular.

    On a side note, travel in Oblivion isn't nearly as bad as morrowind. You are given a horse fairly quickly and you can teleport to any town you've visited once.

  • Nice

    Will the next be 0.95 or are you going to squeeze more time before 1.0 with all the 0.00.1 releases hehe

    Either way, bring them on!

  • It looks most like plasma to me. So, I vote for just Plasma or Plasma Visualizer.

    Could maybe also use Elements or such in the title, since it seems you could make fire, water, clouds, smoke, dust, etc.

  • deadeye: I think then you would like this game:

    Horror/Adventure/Puzzle.

  • deadeye: I really think it would. It won't be pretty, but I'd imagine fully playable.

    Valve is good at making games scale back. They even support DirectX 7.

    On another note, ignore Dark Messiah. It's poorly optimized and just totally not worth it.

    Try the HL2 demo.

  • I support a path movement, but not quite like you suggested, because that sounds a little too specific to that game-type.

    I don't think Construct should make your games for you, hehe.

    A path movement with nodes or following a vector however, I fully endorse (as if it matters, Ashley is king )

  • Oldblivion isn't a miracle worker, it has to be set right for your system.

    Anyways, many of the source engine games should run if you lower the settings. That opens up quite a bit (Vampire, HL2, TF2, Dark Messiah, Etc).

  • Attan: You need to place the "Aim" in front of the player, not spawn it at their current XY.

    I did something similar once where I set it out in front of the player (distance) based on the speed the player was moving.

    So if the player moves right at a speed of 200, we can set the Aim about 100 Pixels to the right, from the XY of the player. The enemy will then be shooting ahead of the player, similar to what Ashley has with all the fancy math

    This method is fine for 8Dir and under, but 360 degress, I don't know.

  • Controls made me wanna turn it off almost immediately. I didn't though, and easily found a spot under the boss where I couldn't be hit and just held the fire button down.

    The art is decent enough, but I would rethink the controls.

  • You can still play Oblivion on older hardware.

    As for Stalker, that one might be okay, but it really looks bad without the lighting on, which will indeed need newer hardware.

  • I had made one for a forum that I no longer visit

    <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/buddy40/user12.png">

    Didn't allow scripting so I just threw the site on it

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Yeah, I saw that one at the top of the main board. What the hell? Why would anyone even bother with that? Are our accounts like, valuable or something?

    Oh, I'm 100% certain he wasn't after your Scirra account It logs everything you type ... so, buy something online and bingo, credit card with all the info.

    Hopefully he can be banned and not slip back with a proxy.
