ok, it is now up and scrolling.

most of taht was spent changing the levels to work with scrolling.

BTW: the levels didnt change (except base, but I just added a row). I might change them later.

#42

i like it, good job. I like the floatyness of jumping, its fun to me.

Any way to make the black be transparent instead of being black on your sprites?

#43

I have messed very little with this b4, I dont know how to do it.

point me in the right direction and I will figure it out.

progress report:

inventory is DONE! Item picking pu is still left. (I tested wiht manual item insertion.)

the gui si barebone. Just a grid filled wiht items :/. I jsut wanted something done.

this includes the jetpack being done, I tested it as well.

item system aint happening tonight though :(. But I am on break, so first thing tomorrow morning. Then you guys can test it all out.

I am gunn ahve to thank kev(again) I got a lot of my inventory from the stuff he showed in another thread.

glad to know you like it ;D.

#44

I have inventory working on my computer.

but the webstart doesnt work :(.

I would think it has to do wwiht the names of files. I checked them though. Everything I added for the inventory.

OH yeah:

turns out the file saving had never been working right. I fiexed taht though.

#45

I also figured out that it doesnt have the do with networking.

this is cause the guest mode doesnt work either.

give me your ideas.

#46

1.7 is out!

k, I fixed it.

turns out it was a problem in a tile map.

give me input.

P.S: I had to re-register everyone for the inventory to work, some may ahve been missed, sorry if so :frowning:

#47

#48

#49

1.7.6

I changed the way the objects were saved, so now it is a lot easier.

NEW ITEM:

mana potion, regenerates 3 mana.

I am now gunna make the items enemy drops, so guys will have to work for them!

enjoy!

#50

found an interesting new glitch.

after an object is used every object behind it is screwed up.

I know it has to do with there being anull spot.

however my usual methods of stopping this dont work :/.

advice is welcomed!

#51

Do you use Tiled for making the maps?

#52

guilty as charged ;D

making a tile editor myself is to hard :confused:

#53

1.7.6 is out!

enemies now drop items.

and an inventory glitch was fixed.

But, I noticed another invenotry glitch like 5 minutes after this release.

so another release will come soon!

enjoy!

#54

1.7.7 si out.

i fixed a glitch in inventory (yeah there are a lot of glitches).

now the loging out is quite slow. this is cause the saving takes a while.

I will try and make a faster way :wink:

enjoy! feedback is welcomed.

#55

I will try and find some time to give it a test tonight when I get home and then I will post some feedback.

Hey,

Nice game but here are some minor issues I noticed.

  • Tabbing between textboxes in the menu does not work
  • Some of the sprites need to have a transparent region
  • More “physics” when jumping would be nice, the jumping is more like a constant speed floating
  • Inventory opens in the way of the actual game (jumping), you could use the space around the actual map instead
  • A way of telling how long the jetpack will last would be nice
  • Game seems to crash when going between rooms sometimes
  • Maybe an overall dungeon/level map would be cool

Didn’t have that much more time right now, I will give it another go later :smiley:

  • press enter for tabbing.
  • yeah, as I said before, poitn me to a tutorial and I will go.
  • some people liked that
  • I will look into that
  • I am not sure how to do taht, I will try though
  • yeah it has to do wiht coming at an angle, I dont know why it happens. will look into it.
  • yeah I made these maps before I amde it scrolling, so they were stuck small, I will expand them soon

glad to know you liked it.

hope I will have improved on those things byt he time you try again ;).

btw: I am starting to work on npc fingers crossed

#59

Could you give us some code on how you draw these sprites?
Have you had a look at any blending tutorials?

// Json

#60

what is blending?

I just draw an animation.

so

player.render(x,y);

I am working on some new huge maps.

the one I have done is 50 by 15 tiles.

I moved the inventory over.

This version is NOT uploaded yet though.
