Um... Okay.

But seriously though, You must have really wide monitor, the dimensions are really freaky. You should give us the option to change the dimensions. Actually, what would bee really cool would be to have this code in your game (I use it in mine):



Of course, if they key in a bit depth that cannot run, the program will die. Heh.

@ Black ethereal
I don´t have a widescreen monitor, the resolution is just 1024x768!
But I made those black bars because I thought it looked better that way...
In my previous game, The digger, I used a script that allowed the user to switch res, maybe I´ll use it in this game too. But if you have a monitor that does not support 1024x768, the res will automatically be set to 640x480.

[Edit] There you go, the angel-fairy-thing!

Thank you guys!
Here´s a new vid!
Some things to notice:
Those weird positioned numbers.
When I record with gamecam I have to change some things and then printed things will appear in weird places.

The speed is doubled.
Gamecam automatically set the fps to 30!

The angel is not ghosted and animated.

This game looks awsome! Good work!
The camera seems to work nice, though in the video there are some points where the enemies gets a little hard to see. I'm really looking forward to a demo of this game that's for sure!

Hmmm...
Some of you think the camera sux and some of you think that it´s ok...
I don´t know what to do...

I´m almost finished with the save/load part... It´s a lot to program and there have been a lot of bugs.
But when it´s done you should be able to save up to 3 game files.

Personally I would move the camera up a bit more and make it follow the player a bit more smoothly. Also, perhaps zoom it out a bit, though that depends on the gameplay style.

Good job on getting save/load working. It's quite a bit to get sorted

@Ian T
You can already move the camera up and down!
I can make a zoom button when I´m done with the save/load code.
And the camera follow the player smooth, but the vid was, as I said only at 30fps.

[Edit] 70% done with save/load just fixed a &%%¤%& bug!

I fixed the last 30% of the save/load part faster than I thought!
MERRY X-MAS!

Here´s a new screenshot!

After pressing the space button, the fog changes to white and health is restored. I´m going to add a cool beam of light too.

I´ve started making the levels now. (The other screens are from the test level)
In the first level you have to jump on platforms that floats over a deep gap to enter the forest. Then you´ll have to fight some demon-pigs . After that you´ll enter the first dungeon. Each level will be quite large, so they´ll take a while to make. Hopefully the loading part won´t be too long...

Thanks, Bizar Guy!

Quote: "After pressing the space button, the fog changes to white and health is restored. I´m going to add a cool beam of light too."

I´m sorry to say that there won´t be a beam of light... DB freaks out when it comes to the "loop object", "show object", "position object" command.
Is it because I´m using a do-loop within a do-loop?
Maybe I should use a while-loop instead?

[Edit]
Ok, now it breaks down when I´m deleteing a sprite.
"if sprite exist(1) then delete sprite 1" *Crash*! "Runtime error! Error 6."
Why, god, why?

[Edit2] I changed "delete sprite" to "hide sprite" and that worked just fine... Sometimes DB can be very disturbing...

Thanks, guys!
I´ve made another enemy today.
This one is able to spit fire with the head that it´s holding in it´s left hand.

Sorry 4 the bad english there, but I´m pretty tired right now...

"if sprite exist(1) then delete sprite 1" *Crash*! "Runtime error! Error 6."

Yes that will crash. It should be

if sprite exist(1)=1 then delete sprite 1

its a boolean, so =1 would mean it does exist, =0 would mean it doesn't. Just calling the command without checking for a 1 would try and delete it whether it exists or not

Anyway progress is looking really great, well done

Oh, I thought 1 was set as "default", because DB does not complain when compiling. It´s the EXE that crashes.
Nevermind, it´s solved now.

[Edit] I tried to put a "=1" after "if sprite exist(1)" and, woha it worked! Thanks kangaroo2 beta2. I don´t know how I could be so stupid?
Well, this will save a little memory 4 you guyz with crappy computers...
[Edit2] WTF!? It crashed again and I didn´t change the code... I have to use the hide sprite instead, wich works 100%(at the moment).

lol no problem. The only reason I knew is because its a mistake I FREQUENTLY make, I always forget and get weird results lol

Are you using dbc not pro?because I found that the exist() commands were less reliable in classic than pro. Hidings a better idea if you are always using the same sprite numnber

Yay, the first dungeon! But are you planning to add some more interesting scenery to the interior besides better textures? The outdoors are so stylish that it would be a shame if the indoors weren't.

btw, awesome dungeon opening.

The texture is the model. A bad texture will make a good model look bad. A good texture can make a horrible model look good.

Yes, it looks scarier in the game, like some kind of zombie kid without arms. It didn't look scary by itself though. Looks cool!

Cool zzz, actually a few days ago i only read the first page and didn't realize that there were more, and i wondered ..how come this has allways been at the top. Now i finally found the other 4 . It looks like its coming along nicely but i would like to see architecture for the levels. Also will there be any long rage fighting in the game.

I am also interested to know how you did collision, when i tried a game like this, the charececters moved out of their collision boxes when the started animation. Thus enemies will strike me in the arm and go right through it. Still havnt found a good enough fix..so im wondering how you did/(thought about doing) it. Did you use internal darkbasic collision or an external DLL.


around here.. normal's just a setting on a hair dryer
