List in browser/output/anything?

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 21:58:33 +0000

I'm trying to put a player-run shop in my game, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to display what the person is selling, I'm putting all the items into a list, after the items have been assigned a price, however, I'm not sure how to display the items whenever the player is clicked on...

Should I create an info box for it? Or maybe a browser? Pretty sure output wouldn't work, but I don't know for sure.

Stretch World View?

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 16:09:19 +0000

Is there any way to stretch your world view to auto-fit your map? My game is going to be full-screen style but, I can't seem to get the world view right :S

Sigh, another question.

Code:

usr << browse("<hrml><body><style = \"text/css\">body { background-image: url('avamage.jpg'); } </style></body></html>","default.avatar")

Problem description:
Solution Answer #1:
If you can tell me how to set an image thats being output through the browser to shrink/stretch to fill the browser without going over then this is the option I'd prefer

Solution Answer #2:
As you've probably noticed, I'm not good with browsers/html/css but they are crucial to my game so I can't just cut them out, anyways... My problem is that I can't figure out how to set 'avamage.jpg' as the background image(since the background image should be auto-fill), it won't be permenant as the user may decide to change their avatar at any given time.

The code snippit is an edited version of some code that came from the forums from a conversation between xooxer and someone else. I don't claim for the code to be mine, I'm just trying different things.

Edit:
Bonus info? Don't need any explanations on this just a yes or no... Is it possible to use a grid as a hot key system? I know you can do it with equipment so I think it's possible if I create an object for the macro and drag and drop it to the grid but then I'm not sure how to activate it via macro. E.G. F1 F2 F3, or maybe A, B, C, but I prefew the first set.

Login and Character Creation

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:24:32 +0000

Okay guys, I told you that I was going to upload some screenshots today but designing the character creation skin took longer then I thought so they're not completely finished but here they are as promised!

Unfinished Login:

(Not sure why it added a huge white top but whatever)

Unfinished Character Creation:

Yes, yes I know there are flaws, for one the image in the preview is super crappy, but I've only been working for about two hours so to do all that I've done isn't bad. But this is my current screens, I've worked on the actual playing screen but not enough to screenshot it. So what should I change(besides the crappy preview)?

Browse

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:36:41 +0000

Code:

usr << browse('mage.dmi',"charcreation.preview")

Problem description:
The code is pretty self-explanitory but I can't figure out what to do, I'm a total noob at browsers. Anyways the general idea is to create a preview of your character, instead of actually creating your character on the map and editing their overlays based on the users decision. But I have no idea how to do it, I thought browse would work but it didn't I've also tried output(which I knew wouldn't work) and I have no clue.

For me

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:45:05 +0000

This is basically a reminder to myself of what I need to add but I would also you guy's help on a few things on this list, for instance, a unique guild system; I don't have any ideas on how to make a guild system noticably unique so I was hoping someone else might know.

List:

Login(Done)

Combat(Done)

Leveling(Done)

Basic Skin(Done)

Private Chat System(Done)

Player shop(Maybe in a stat panel or a window for it)

Character creation screen(Window)

Equipment system(Grid double click system)

Maps(Obviously but I'm going to randomly generate dungeons and then save them and then spruce them up manually so my terrible mapping can't screw it up)

Monsters()

Game Shop(Click on-screen button)

Unique Guild System(No Ideas, help me out here guys)

Boss Fights(Almost forgot)

Quests(One after another, seriously)

Sounds(Stop thinking of things!)

Perks(...[Fallout Style])

---------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all I have for now.

Curious

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 20:03:11 +0000

Out of curiosity, is there anyway to link your hosted byond game with a website that's not linked to byond in any way?

A better way of explaining this is... Is there a way to go to www.example.com/charactercreation and go through a list of inputs to create a character(A .sav file) and then go to www.byond.com/examplegame and login to the server and be able to access said .sav file and load your character like that?

I know I'm severely overcomplicating my game, but I want my game to be as unique as possible(On BYOND) and strangely enough, that's most of the features from popular MMOs.

Anyways I know it's possible to retrieve previously created files from other websites but without being able to create it off-site as well then it won't work.

New Layout!

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 18:29:22 +0000

So guys, I was working on my layout for Undead Gaming, but I fail at HTML and CSS, so I went to the CSS Guild and asked Teka if he could help me out. Well he did, and it's a 5/5 to me! But I'd like to hear your opinions as well!

Okay, I've decided.

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:52:29 +0000

I'm actually going to put all my effort into desigining a game for the first time. I've half-assedly made all my games/demos. I'm tired of looking like a fool when people use/play any of my crappy codes. So I've taken down all my unfinished/crappy hubs; The only one left is my only finished game which is Mountain Climber. However, there is a severe amount of glitches that I've recently discovered so I won't be buying a server for it but you can host it yourself if you so wish. But here is my project which I will add 1 feature a day:

KUROI: The Darkened Day

(Mini Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)

See what I did there? :D

Anyways....

8/14/11: Created Login Screen, Skin
8/15/11: Added Combat/Level System, Skin
8/16/11(Today): Going to add monsters and fix some bugs as well as create a random dungeon generator then I'll save the randomly generated dungeon and map it in manually and then spruce it up, I will do this for all my dungeons so my terrible mapping can't screw it up xD

Summary:
Runescape & Fallout & Elder Scrolls... That's the combo I'm going for.

Runescapes Gameplay.
Fallout's Perks and Equipment Style.
Elder Scrolls Basic Info(Including the Era that Elder Scrolls is set in and the aspects that comes with it)

Of course everything will have my own style and preferences added; I'll upload a screenshot of my current skin after it's finished.

So what do you guys think of the idea?

Backspace

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 01:56:56 +0000

Yeah well uh... I hit something and now my backspace doesn't work in byond anymore >_> You're first thought is probably going to be "Duh, insert," well I'm on a laptop which is oddly doesn't have insert then you might think numlock 0 but the same problem arises, it's a laptop... Anyways, are there any other ways around this? /ragequit
