Looking good the ball moves a bit to fast and if you hold down the button it just keeps hiting the same bit of wall. but the game is looking realy good for the first few screen shots i cant wait for you to develop it more.

are you going to add like a power and aim bars controled by the mouse?

I think you need to either add in delta-time or limit the framerate, because I'm getting over 1000 FPS and the ball is blazingly fast.

The reason it moves fast, is because I haven't put in timer based movement yet (it goes about right on my PC) and if you hold a key, it will bounce against the same wall because the keys apply motion, so it will keep moving it in the direction of the wall.

For the real controls, I think the down key will slowly tilt the club back, and when you release it, it will swing and hit the ball. The left/right keys will rotate the camera and the club.

PS
You can apply Y-motion with the shift/ctrl keys as well.

edit:

Just finished timer() based movement, and rotation of ball!
Have any of you created your own levels, or even scripts?
I made those with DeleD

edit2:
Here is the new exe (media is on my next post)

Is nobody interested?

V0.5 is now available and has a club to hit the ball with. It is a fully playable, scriptable demo. It requires new media, and some of the old media has been changed.
Here is the new download:

Nice demo and fun to play. Colors are pleasant and the lighting is good. If it is possible to increase the speed of the ball's final placement after being hit it would help increase the pace of the game. Also, on a couple shots the ball was moving very slowly on the edge of the hole, but did not fall in.

Keep it up.

It might just be my computer. But it is way too slow. It takes forever for the ball to finaly stop moving. Other than that, it is really cool. Nice job!

What FPS do you get?
If it is at 40fps, this is because it is the fastest it will run on my PC, so I set that as a limit since I couldn't test it any faster. When I get round to doing the help, it will have an option to set the max FPS. (If you set it high on a slow PC it can be quite jerky)

Around 35-40. I think the problem is that the ball just won't stop fast enough. I think you should raise the friction of the ball or something.

That would be cool. This game is really fun. I managed to get 2 holes in one in a row (a hole in one in both maps). I'm following this.

Thanks! (it seems except for you, warship45, and foxblitzz that nobody is interested! )

I have added the following options so far:

Max FPS
Friction
Stop speed <-- Speed at which it will stop and show putter
Force multiplier <-- If you set a large friction value, you will need to apply more force when hitting
edit:
Gravity

If you can think of any more

Not a bad start, the menu and the cleared stage thing needs to be timer based, as the 3d menu was rotating around like a madman on my pc, and I think the putter should be controlled using the mouse, so you can essentially set the swing power via the mouse, and that would make gameplay better, the course should use more polys as it was a little clunky going around the dome area but it's a good start.

Hallowed are the ori.

Yeah, that last course, I just knocked up in a hurry, but I will make the menu timer based. Have you tried making your own levels for it? You can also script any levels that you make, so you could have water, turning windmills, ball speedups etc.

The next update will have all of these new features:
Ability to make golf courses using the new CGL filetype. List the names of holes, and drag the file onto the exe. It will play through each hole, telling you your score for that hole, and your total score, and also the total par so far. At the end, it will save your scores in a file with your name if it is a better score than what you got last time on that course. It will also give you a rating which is universal, and not specific to that course, so you can see which courses you are better at!

Also, mouse control is being implemented due to popular demand (dark coder)

PS
Please don't make me have to triple post when I upload the next version!

All right, I'll post just because I like putt putt games if they're done well. I am currently without my windows so I can't test but as soon as I get it up and running (Should be up by Sunday) I'll test. Otherwise, I'm loving the customizability, it sounds real neat!

I really liked the new level. I agree with dark coder about the level being higher poly, and also, I suggest a par of 2, or at least 3. I did terrible the first try, and still got the par. That's not something you want . I forget the par for the other 2 levels, but their par should be no more than 2.

Great job, can't wait for next demo

Thanks for posting!

UFO:
You easily change the par yourself
As I've been saying, it is easy for you make/edit levels. Open any of the .CG* files in notepad, and you will see what I mean.

Here it is, V1.0!!!!!!!

New controls:
mouse move/left,right,ctrl,shift keys rotates camera
mousewheel/+,- zooms camera
mouseclick/downkey pulls putter back
release of mouseclick/downkey releases putter

New info:
To create a course of premade levels, make a .CGL file, in your CrAzY golf folder. Open it in notepad, and list the names of levels that you would like to be in the course. When you want to play the levels, drag the file onto the CrAzY golf exe. At the end of each hole, it will return to the main menu. After the last hole, it will save your statistics for that course in a txt file if they a better than any previous results for that course. (eg a highscores system)

edit: zoom bug fixed

Cool! You must be working hard . All these updates so fast. Don't you have a job, or school, or something. Or are you sick like me :-(.

On that 3rd level (the one with the bowl and the hole in the center, I think the walls around the platform where the hole is located should be higher, because twice now, I have made it go into the funnel, and after it goes through the hole, bounce over the walls and into nothingness.

That's part of the hardness, because you have to try an make the roll around in the bowl before it drops down the funnel. If it drops straight down, it bounces too high. If you try hitting it at not quite maximum, then the plain I positioned there helps to add sideways momentum, and makes the ball roll around the bowl before it drops into the funnel.

wait, have you made a golf game in DB before?

[edit] played it, was very nice. my gripes would be
1) sometimes the ball took forever to slow down... not sure how you could fix that and
2) it can be kind of hard to tell what your power is at, maybe add a bar that shows it... but that is kind of part of the difficulty i guess

oh yeah, w00t! i got this level in one shot!

I haven't made one before. To your questions, you can change the stopping speed in the options.txt file. You can also change your name there

Does everybody know how to use CGL files?
They're very useful if you want to play (a) certain level(s).
They also let you have a highscore for each one.
They are just a list of holes which when dragged onto the exe, will tell it to play through each hole in turn, and give you a highscore at the end

PS
Have you tried getting an albatross in the curvy.cgc level?

Suggestion.

Option to play holes in order or a random hole. When i tried the first release it gave me the same hole three straight times (The Bowl Hole).

Played the version 1 fixed until my windows crashed it (I believe it is my system and not your code that caused it). Got better distribution of holes that time.

You may want to think about changing the way speed seems to be figured though. It looks like the speed off the club should be much higher for such long swings as is required to play some of these holes. You know; shorter swings with more initial speed. You would never swing like (unless you were six) and it would never stay on course (trust me, I know .)

Just a thought.

I like what you have done with your program. Really like the grass mat texture.

[Edit]
Maybe you should make a help screen to explain your level design a little more. I am not a super experienced modeler but would like to try to design one. I don't completely know how to setup the CGC file and there is no extended help to make a legal, playable level.

In Memory of My Dad.
I miss you very much.

All of what you have said is ALREADY possible. Just change the options in the options.txt file
For some strange reason, I doubt that you read my previous post!

CGL files are specifically for what you just said, they let you play whatever holes you want, in whatever order you want. All of the .CG* files can be opened in notepad and contain a brief explanation.

Also, there are no restrictions on level design, except that the hole that the ball fals into at the end, must go lower than any other parts of the level.

Here is an explanation of each of the parts to a .CGC file:



edit:
if you change a .CGC file, make sure that the layout is kept the same. Also if it say [optional] and it is not a number, then you must put <none> if it is not used

I made my own map, but I'm not sure it works. I edited basic.cgl to say only:

test.cgc

and I drag it over the exe, but it doesn't play it. What am I doing wrong?

(The level I made is called test.cgc)

Hmmm...

Is test.cgc in the levels folder, and is the basic.cgl still in exe folder?

Did the basic.cgl file work before you edited it?
Also, you do know that it doesn't play it straight away, you still have to click play on the main menu?

If the answer to all of those is yes, then I'm not sure
Could you email me your .cgc file, your .cgl file, and your model file?

What does it actually do instead of playing the test.cgc?

Just some info on progress:
There are plenty more levels on their way (some already finished) but I am busy trying to track down a bug which I suspect is to do with the scripting code, where it crashes on the second scripted level in a CGL file

This is probably one of my best, and most finished games yet, so I am looking for some more comments (I give extra levels to those who help me with constructive criticism, and also flattery)

Thanks anyway to those who have already posted!

Once I have fixed this bug, prepare for many more updates and levels!

Maybe a slightly large request, but I think a level maker would be awsome, like if you had a bunch of tiles place the start and finish, that would be pretty awsome IMO, then you could make some truely stupid courses and everyone could upload there own.

You read my mind!

I had actually just started on one!


News:
I have FINALLY fixed that bug, and it was a problem with DBP not me! (you are supposed to be able to dim an array more than once)
I have just made the hardest level yet! It has a par of 5!!!

Not long now before another update...

looks pretty good.
Couldent get past the first hole though...
i was running at 1485 FPS... the screen pretty much had a mix of white, grey and green and then i got it in and par spammed all over my screen for about a minute and i closed it.
The enviornment looks nice though.

!!!NEW UPDATE!!!

There is now an editor, and also many more levels to play!

It is in rar format(it's free to get winrar) because zip was twice the size!

To add a part to the editor, put the model in the editor\parts folder. Each part must have only one texture.

The green/red flags in the editor can be moved with the controls at the bottom, and specify where the ball start and end is.

The controls are much like DeleD, (which it is very roughly based on)

You can see the current part in the top left window, and can change part by using the arrows to each side of the window.

You can rotate/zoom/move in both views, but the controls are slightly different.

After you have placed a piece (by left clicking) you can move, rotate, and scale it using the relevant tabs.

Click insert under the part window to get that piece ready for using. Left click in the main view to place it.

Main camera controls:

Arrowkeys: zoom/pan

Mousewheel: zoom
R-click drag: rotate camera
Shift+R-click drag: zoom
Ctrl+R-click drag: pan

S key to save your model


Part window controls:
R-click drag: drag-rotate the part
Mousewheel: zoom
Shift+Mousewheel: fast-zoom
Ctrl+R-click drag: Pan

I will await your comments

That is pretty cool. Only thing is I occasionally get an impossible level loaded where it is just a flat plain with one large hole. If the ball goes down that hole then it resets and there is nowhere else to go!

Sorry about that impossible level, it was not made by me, but was one that somebody else made that went wrong. I think it is the test.cgc file. If you rename that to a txt file, you won't get it again.

There is something wrong with your machine, or you have changed the max fps in the options.txt file.
The latest version is timer based, so there is no way that you could get 1200 fps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only other problem I have is that the ball goes through walls and floors every now and then. Mostly walls when you hit the ball hard but still a bug.

I was trying to make my own level, and e-mailed it to him so he can tell me what I did wrong. He forgot to delete it.

There should be a way to rotate, move objects at intervals of one unit, instead of 10. I was working on a level, and couldn't add a slanted floor object because of that. Can you please add it in the next release after you fix the bug with playing levels you make?

Thanks
