Game movies go! Alone in the Dark

Max Payne

@Anna: > Ok, do you even get the game? Your game title starts with the first letter of the last word of the previous game title posted. > :icon_nif: The game posted above him was "Mies joka leikkari perunoita saksilla 3", which was a bad response to "Silent Hill II". He was right to continue with H. King's Field

If possible, run it in debug mode with VB6, Draken. I've also not seen anything like that.

@peekay: > What about say that ive created a scripted npc behaviour. > And in the script for that npc I call > cannpcmove > can I make the dir set to the players dir > or should I use the updatenpcAI for this Depends on how you want to organize your source I guess. Just try a couple ways to see how it best fits whatever you're making. As for setting the NPC's direction to the same as the player's direction, that's really simple stuff. I'd wager you're trying to make some kind of NPC pet system or improve on the AI. It'll take a lot if you don't know how simple things like that are done. ``` Npc(map, slot).dir = player(index).dir ``` Just fill in map, slot, and index with the appropriate variables as whatever sub you decide to slap that in uses.

I thought I fixed that ages ago. :-\ Bollocks.

Too much shadow. It either looks like the dirt is piled atop the grass, or the grass is hovering over the dirt. Lose that thick border, and as Draken said, make it less square.

This is the wrong section. If you want to recruit mappers, check out the recruiting center board, but follow the board's formatting rules, which are stickied in that subforum. Locking this.

Check out "New Start Up Items Script" in the Script Database.

Ah, I realize what you meant now. Nevermind my previous post. Yeah, I found the login timer a big long, especially when the server is down. I couldn't generate any hangups, though.

I don't think that's really a bug. That's likely just how it was designed so people couldn't spam logins. Besides, think about it. If people are spamming logins, you don't want to boost their ability to do so. Bah, then it gets removed. xD

@Robin: > Now it looks like a twiglet. Use different colours in the outline to stop it looking so twiglet-y. I had a nice little Googlequest for "Twiglet". I learned something today. =D Regarding the lines, it's not so much that they are jagged, since that will undoubtedly happen when dealing with curves, especially given that the style he's drawing in is not designed for anti-aliasing. The bigger issue is the physics of the thing. It looks like you've properly added curvature, but it's inverse of how it should be. Your curve is concave instead of convex. If you'll notice in Aksel's picture, the top of the tree leans slightly. In your image, the top is straighter, and the bottom is more curved. I think it'd not only give you a lot easier time making it look right if you switched them, but also give the feeling of a leaning palm tree, rather than an oddly curved one. Of course, palm trees are known to grow in freakish ways as a quick search will show, so whichever works best for you is fine. Besides the lines, though, I think the palette could use a little reversal as well. Again using Aksel's image as a reference, you'll notice the dull grey bark and the vivid green leaves. Yours has dull colored leaves and fairly vivid bark. I'd say tone the colors a bit more grey on the trunk and a bit more saturated on the greens of the leaves.

The error is because that script had a couple issues. The code you were seeing is the code for the function inside the game's logic. Don't change that unless you want to make the formula different. As for a script for healing, here's an edited version of the above: ``` If GetPlayerMp(index) > 9 Then Call SpellAnim(1, GetPlayerMap(index), GetPlayerX(index), GetPlayerY(index)) Call SetPlayerHp(index, GetPlayerHp(index) + 15) Call PlayerMsg(index, "You healed yourself!", BLACK) Call SetPlayerMP(index, GetPlayerMP(index) - 10) Call SendHP(index) Call SendMP(index) Else Call PlayerMsg(index, "You don't have enough mp left to use this spell!", RED) End If ```

No. "Index" is just a variable name used for the player's number. A quick glance will show you that the AttackNPC sub uses "Attacker".

Maybe you were on your period, you fucking pansy. Nah, I'm only joking. Just couldn't resist :P I've had some pretty weird dreams myself. I've told this story several times on the forum, but one time, I had a dream that I had misspelled a command in a script I wrote, and it woke me up. Sure enough, I had. I thought it was kind of strange that hours later I'd be woken up by that.

It says it'll be finished later. There's no screenshot because he's not done.

@Kreator: > I just noticed you sand doesn't seem to tile properly, at least parts-of. Just thought I'd point that out in case your not aware. Now that you say something, I can see it. The gridlines show pretty noticeably.

I know that was the style. That's why I said it didn't translate well across styles. The huge head really detracts from the other physical characteristics that would make for a more archetypal orc. When the sprite base has a large head like that, it just makes it hard to make it look menacing.

I don't think orcs translate well into your style. Like Mike said, it looks like an alien, likely due to the huge head in comparison to the body. It's going to tend to look too cartoony without some sort of anatomical corrections.

We have one in the city where I live. ;o

Why wouldn't we believe that? Saying you know a guy who went to church with someone in a video isn't exactly an unbelievable tale. And yeah, crazy drumming. Once you've got whatever song you know down to a science, adding some spins and some…whatever that was...certainly makes for a more entertaining show. He's almost too serious, though. I can't help but laugh at how overdone his moves are. However, he does manage to drum the song perfectly, so whatever he wants to add on top is fine by me. ;D


Any webhost, really. If you're going to use online updates, you'll need your own space. I don't know of any free filehost that will let you do that, so just get a website, even if you don't use it but to hold your files.

Yeah, I didn't like his last CD. Seemed like he spent too much time in some of his loopier personas on the tracks rather than putting a ton of effort into the lyrics and rap. I'll give it a listen and see how it is. If it's anything like some of his mid-career stuff, it's a good direction for him.

Yup. It's ill-advised not to have one, really. If you just throw in things at a whim without planning or designing things first, it's pretty much bound to fail.
