6-Month Probation-Challenge

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 04:10:35 +0000

Challenge Accepted.

I'm currently on 6 month probation and otherwise shut off from all internet access. So with absolutely nothing else to do I plan on finishing all my current games, and most likely making another.

I probably won't reply to this, but If I can sneak back onto a computer I will, I'll see you guys in 6 months with some releases!

PvP game updates

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:04:05 +0000

Hey everybody! Still haven't figured about the name yet, but that's not too important.

What I've done since the last update:

There is now text on the screen, in the screen shot above I've picked up some supplies which I can dump into my teams supply. I can now also steal supplies from other teams supplies then take it to mine.

Objects can now move through portals, including; bullets, boxes, and grenades.

I've also decided that hosts have full control over their servers. Hosts can set a fair amount of variables such as:

- Player max
- Admins/Mods
- Banning, Muting, Kicking, etc
- If guests are allowed
- Starting player supplies
- Max player supplies
- Supplies to win
- Starting supplies for teams

Whats next:

I've decided that there will be set maps, instead of randomly generated maps. But players can create their own custom maps, then the host can add it to their /maps directory and run it live.

Also with the map editor players can create their own objects and scenery, but they will have to include the icon files inside the hosting files so people in the server will be able to see them.

Along with that hosts can create their own weapons for their server. Customization will include:
- Weapon type(Gun or Melee)
- Firing speed
- Icon
- Icon_state and firing state
- Sound
- Fire power

Map editing will basically be handled such as Darker Emeralds REO2's map editor is, just a .dm with the icons and icon variables included. Then for custom objects and scenery there will be a set object(and turf) that can be edited. Weapon icons would also be included so editors would have something to base their creations off of!

I haven't decided yet, but most likely(since hosts can edit pretty much everything else) hosts will also be able to have their own custom player icons. If I do decide to include custom players the player icon will also be included in the map editor.

Hopefully with ALL these editing options there will be plenty for players to do and keep coming back, for each and every server will have its own experience!

Bricked Droid 2

Long story short, I have a bricked Droid 2. Does anybody know how to unbrick it?

I'm not worried about the data I just want to get back on my phone.

PvP Game

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 17:19:33 +0000

Hello, I've been working on a small PvP shooter in my spare time(When I'm not working on my other games).

A little progress has been made on the game, but I'm still pondering how gameplay will work. I want to create a shooter that anyone can just jump into and start playing despite their PC shooting game experience, but also want to keep players to keep coming back.

At the moment I have:

Portals - The blue and black circle
Movable objects - That square with "BOX" in it
Equipment - Including: Weapon firing, Clothes, and items appearing on the player

So far I have an idea that players can either be on Red, Green, Orange, or Blue. Then every team has a supply deposit somewhere on the map, which is where they respawn, purchase items, etc. The players then venture out into the map and get supplies, but can also kill other players making them drop their supplies.

Also, players can go into other teams bases and steal from their deposit. The game will either be settled by a time limit, or who ever reaches a certain amount first.

The game will most likely be multi-player only, but maybe after ironing out bugs and getting a stable release out I'll add in bots for single-player, but this isn't for certain yet.

All of this is only paper-and-pen for now, but hopefully I can pop something out in a few weeks.

HUDs and Window Resizing

Wed, 27 Apr 2011 00:01:01 +0000

Okay, I have a HUD object on the players screen, which is in a set position, when the player re-sizes their window the interfaces move with it, Anchors, but HUD's stay in the same place.

Is there any variable with the interface or a certain formula that will make the HUD move with the map when the window is resized?

Thanks
