not sure I'd be able to help but I'll just let ya know your links aren't working on my end.

well using this post reply answer by Kyatric viewtopic.php?t=64066&start=0

I adjusted to this

this seems okay though you can try the disable and enable stuff different.

but in some other post I believe it was R0J0 that suggested this http://www.thesimplest.net/pc/simplest- ... -scrolling though I've never used it but I think i might install it now <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

Okay so I've been looking over multiplayer examples and trying my best to understand and work through them slowly. I started with chat setup and got that working but then i decided I'd like to have each user have a pointer object where their mouse is with a name attached. This is where my problem developed. I was able at first to get the pointer dot I made to follow both from host and peer and was relayed to both though a bit of lag from the actual pointer, but the name I wanted to attach to the pointer didn't show up. .i was able to get it to show up eventually but then it wasn't displayed on both host and peer. I looked over the ghost shooter mp demo which seemed easy enough in common group but when I did it .. it wasn't relayed correctly between host and peer. After trying different things and refreshing over and over now I can see the host and peer with name on the host screen but the host doesn't show up on the peer screen at all . dot or name . I've really messed it up somehow and am lost lol. I know I have some stuff in there that isn't needed at the time but I didnt' think it'd affect it . I was getting ready to try and add in clicking on boxes to change animation frame and then move on to adding in key input controlled objects also. anyhow if I could get some hints on what I'm doing wrong to achieve a pointer on both host and peer with name alias it would be a big help to me. I'm ripping my hair out trying so many different adjustments >_<

also any tip for mouse overlap clicking in mp to change the animation frame would be a big help too . i took it out but I had an extra bit of code but it only showed up on the host and nothing worked on peer . . . I guess I'm just not understanding it enough :/ thx for any tips/hints

I think I understand why it works but I don't really know how to apply it. I wanted to make a bullet curve out of the imagepoint to a spot ahead from a top down type perspective. I'm not really sure how to apply qarp to that. Frenchyann had said qarp was the best way :/ Though I think I could use bulletml to make it easy I didn't want to have to go that route :/. Anyone care to explain a lil more or give me an example of a gun firing with these methods without anything extra in it >_<

well maybe a simple thing to do to deter a bit more would be to create a bunch of random folders with dummy files within the tmp dir. I know its silly but it can make it a bit bleh for someone trying to weed through XD

Ok i have been playing around with the plugin and it's a good idea but still has some security holes.The tmp file can still be accessed when the game is running.The next Security flaw is the password ,If i am desperate enough i can get your password very easily by examining the exe with another app.Create an exe game with this plugin and i will show you your password no matter how long or short it is.

It's still a nice plugin though. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

wow I sorta figured those would be the issues with this plugin but i still think its still a great plugin. I play a lot of visual novel type games with tons of cg in them and there are always programs to rip out the CGs but they still sell quite well. I think this would deter most non hardcore from messing around with things. Question would be how to secure it more. I personally haven't messed with it yet but does it create the tmp folder in the game dir?

heh scrolls.. funny that they are getting the cease and desist or be sued thing because of the elder scrolls.. which I think is pretty much crap imo .. if thats the case walmart, kmart, any mart should be suing each other left and right since they all have mart in there >_>

I am amfest . . . fear me

Which of these are some of the best tutorials for making platformers? It seemed like Platform School was a really popular choice, but it no longer works.

that's weird cause about 1 or 2 pages towards the end of the platform school post there is a dropbox zip that contains all the tuts in it. I used them and they all worked fine.

I noticed that the ghost shooter tut link doesn't work anymore though.

Hello, just joined up cause well don't know figured I might as well start posting so people know me when I start asking all sorts of random questions XD. Found out about construct about a week ago . . went through vertical shooter tutorial . .it dropped off :( looked at random examples .. decided to move to a platform style instead . . . went through platform school tutorials . . . was looking through forums and ran across bulletML addon. . moved back to looking at vertical shootem up. Getting confused, reading, reading, reading looking at tutorials again. Eyes spinning and many gatorade later sign up to forums :P

so once again .. hello :D
