Hi

I just get a 0kb file with no extension

Shame, the game sounds good. Until you sort the demo could you show some screens?

Screenshots needed. Since it's fully textured you shouldn't have a problem with that.

EDIT: hmm, file download size = 0 bytes. What could this mean?

Based on his last 4 or 5 "Tycoon" games, I think I can imagine what this looks like. Hey, I'll even post a screenshot.

Actually, since it's been a while, and he really has been trying to learn, then if this is true:

...it should be not too bad.

I guess I might've been a little mean there. Even so, I think it should be in the WIP board instead of here. I guess we won't know until we can see some real screenshots or have a demo.

I don't think he has anything. The last few projects were spam. I'm doubting he has anything to show except for some text.

So until you can post a screen, I'm not believing you.

EDIT:Holy cow! I should refresh before I post

WOW this is great! Their must be a problem with your computers, this games rocks! I played a similar hospital tycoon game that didn't come in a zero byte file, so this means that I save HDD space! The invisible menus are wicked, and the fully textured transperant 3D models look like reality!
I am hooked on this game!

I think he just forgot to add the extension when attaching the game so instead of uploading "hospital tycoon.zip" or whatever he stored the game in he accidentally uploaded nothing. I'm sure when he checks back on this thread he'll see that he uploaded nothing and will make sure he uploads the game in a reply.

Jordan Stories Games,
Well, you're doing better now, but you've still got a long way to go. I downloaded the demo, and it looks like you need to learn about the SYNC commands so that you don't get flickering like that. I selected Play Game, but all I got was a glimpse of some object, then it gave a runtime error.

It's good to see you progressing. Keep up the good work and don't give up. However, this really shouldn't be posted in the program announcements board.

Good performance is better than a good excuse.

I clicked every option. It crashed on every single one, except exit, which I guess is better than crashing and exiting.

This game isn't even playable, much less complete. Why is it here in Program Announcements?

I'm going to be a b*stard and disagree with everyone here. Just because you put it in an installer and have ONE WHOLE WORKING MENU SCREEN doesn't make it a good attempt, even with the ms paint graphics and the 3ds model which filesize is so small I wont even bother to put it in a viewer.

Please, PLEASE start with something small like pong, which you will probably be able to do, and build up from there, I'm impressed by your determination, but not by your effort.

As a last tip, when making the installer, make sure there's an actual link to the exe in the start menu group, not just uninstall

The menu screen worked, which wasn't that impressive, menu options flickering like mad, and i got to enter the name of my hospital and it flickered up an object then crashed, runtime error.

May i suggest testing when you have a game. I agree with Kentaree, start with something small like pong. Theirs no point building a highly advanced 3d game if you can't code a menu screen properly.

I learnt the basics just building a 3d menu screen, and then a very SIMPLE fps, in which you just controlled the camera, and was able to shoot a static object. Boring but i gave me the basics to build more complex games.

I agree with Kentaree entirely.

I clicked every option and nothing happened; It would make a good game for an easily amused mental patient but nobody else. If you're going to try again, sort out the SYNC so it doesn't cause epilepsy epidemics and at least make it playable before you release it for people to test.

I don't know since how many time you have programmed this "" game "" ... but you have a lot of thing to change

Sorry to not be cool with you, but like it was said by other people, I'm impressed by your determination, but not by your effort... and i don't know if you have really a good determination.
Or you are dreaming

I don't say you 'Good luck for the next' because i think you must stop this a begin with an easer project

I say one must check for bugs and run-time errors before posting it. If it crashes when it starts, does that mean you never even tested it before Jordan? (unless you made the menu after the "game").

The images make it look pretty promising, but I doubt they are even being used. I think they are just something you made and want to put into the game, but didn't because you didn't know how. And then you posted it

And even worse, with an installer

If this is some trojan, i won't be happy. But i've just wasted my time downloading another version of this game that doesn't work. Why not post screenies if you have a program to announce. You'll only got more flamed if your just relying on a exe installer, where the only thing functional is the uninstall option.

Don't worry that much about it being a trojan. With his experience, I doubt he can do any simple file I/O (No offence, Jordan )

I would like the source code. I could help you with it if you needed. But I want it so I can get it to work and see the features you say it has. And if you don't post it, then I will know you're lieing.

About it crashing, it could be something about where it's installed. What directory do you have it in when you run it. Is it:
C:/hospital/
or
C:/Program files/DarkBasic Software/DarkBasic/Myproj/Hospital

Because newbies usually do things like:
Load image "C:/hospital/thing.bmp"
instead of
Load image "thing.bmp"

Edit: I like the readme:
Quote: "Welcome to Hospital Tycoon!"



The readme.txt file is for help stuffs, like how to avoid some bugs, contact information, how to play, etc.

Hey Jordan, send me an email I could give you a hand with DBprogramming. I myself am learning the advanced stuff, I am on this learning program that I made thats helping me to overcome the techinques. Don't take anything the others said offensivley, they are just helping you, and writing messages you can't really tell what someones trying to say!

But they mean well! There are certain things you have to do to post a good game. This is a W.I.P unless like UFO mentioned above, you made the small errors! Anyhow drop me an email (My sig) and I will get back to you soon enough!

@JSG

Please stop putting it in an installer, it's such a pain in the butt. Especially since you haven't got very far with it.


[edit]

Just tried it. I tried to play it, it showed some models and then gave me an error. I agree with Kentaree, please just make a pong gameor something, you still don't know much about the basics yet (like the sync commands), so following a turorial will help you.

This should really be in the WIP forum, as looking at the code, their doesn't seem to be any real gameplay. Try using just one sync command in your menu, may stop the flickering.

What the heck is this for? you never write anything to it and you never close it.

I have to say this is much further along then your previous posts, and I applaud that with all the negative feedback you get in each thread you not only continue to work, but you remain here in the forums. I have to say that this is barely even ready for a WIP yet.

Let me give you a little help to help you move along.

for this code

Not even that. That's what I call 10 minutes of coding.

Whether this is an improvement ornot, we've told him a billion times before to wait until he gets a real game, or even a "game" before he posts here, and somehow he forgets everytime. I say he deserves a full barrage of flamming until he gets the message through his skull.
