wow

I've already expressed elsewhere my lack of tolerance for three letter posts, need I really do the same here?
It's not necessary, it's almost spam.

Please express your opinions and feedback. It's much more useful and much appreciated.

Work Update
We have successfully got Abe's sprites and have implemented Walking, Running, Hoisting and Climbing up ledges. Thanks Carnix.

Most of the screens are in game now, there's is still a few to add though. Credit to Blackvenom for the backgrounds.

There is alot of bugs so far and alot of features to implement here are some of them:

Hoisting bug: Keeps hoisting in the same place on every screen
Floor Bug: If trapdoors are lowered there will be invisible holes in the floor in every screen.

I need to make Abe walk in a grid fashion, at the moment his walking is completely dynamic.

We have alot of work to do so far, but at the moment it's looking good.

Could you save it as an OSX app too? I can always make a High-Def Mac icon...

joshkrz 06-17-2009 09:27 AM

Sorry, Flash only exports to EXE and the program I work with to make it into a customisable program exports to EXE only also.

Also 256x256 icons are not HD. I can easy create Vista compliant icons. (Which is the same as Mac).

SpAM_CAN 06-17-2009 09:34 AM

My Mac flash saves as exe and Macintosh format. Hey, if you have to, when its done, just let me convert it :)

BTW I just mean higher quality.

joshkrz 06-17-2009 09:37 AM

I'm not sending the FLA file, that's like OWI giving out there source code.

I will find a way for MAC users to use this, if I can't then there are ways to open EXE on mac any way.

I doubt it will be compatible though, the EXE uses the Windows registry.

Carnix 06-17-2009 09:42 AM

Why would SWF format be inappropriate?

joshkrz 06-17-2009 10:29 AM

It wouldn't be for online use. FLA would as you can edit everything.

SWF for desktop playing would be inappropriate because not everyone has Adobe Flash, also I cannot implement some features I'll need.

SpAM_CAN 06-17-2009 12:32 PM

Ahem.
[image removed. Just realized how big it is :(]

If you need a custom thing for the offline version, try using Cider, WINE or Crossover. I can test any mac stuff :)

joshkrz 06-17-2009 12:34 PM

What's that got to do with anything? I'm saying I'm not gonna give you the FLA. I know Mac Flash can output as .APP

Also, don't post stuff like that here, PM or MSN me. That's just filling the place with unneeded stuff.

SpAM_CAN 06-17-2009 12:43 PM

I swear windows flash can... Oh I dunno...

joshkrz 06-17-2009 12:47 PM

Yes it can but that's not the point, I don't use flash to export it as an program. I have a third party program called SWFkit. It has loads of better features so I'm sticking with that.

Any more responses? IM me. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< [EDIT] Read next time

SpAM_CAN 06-17-2009 12:59 PM

Ah okay. Thats what was the missing information... sorry 'bout that.

Rampage48 06-17-2009 06:30 PM

Extremly Horrible news guys:

My bro was downloading a ton of crap on this computer and it now has:a Keylogger,A Wyrm, and Several Trojan horses. My parents wont buy virus software so they are thinking about wiping my comp! Im gonna try to put the storyline on my Flashdrive. But i have to be careful because if that flashdrive becomes infected from when i stick it in the USB port, So its a 50/50 chance. Also i may not be able to log onto my comp for a few days. I just wanted to tell you guys so you didnt think i ditched or something.

joshkrz 06-17-2009 06:36 PM

Download AVG Free anti-virus and download it now. Trust me.

http://free.avg.com/223204

Rampage48 06-17-2009 06:43 PM

Actully i already tried that.

Didnt work for some reason.

And with a keylogger my dad isnt gonna buy anything online(not AVG of course)

SpAM_CAN 06-17-2009 10:00 PM

Download the Ubuntu Live CD http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
Burn it to a cd
Rescue any data you need onto a flash drive, then use the parition editor to wipe your system.

This is why you backup peoples!


EDIT: Have you tried booting into safe mode? Hold F8 after the BIOS goes away.

Oddey 06-17-2009 10:49 PM

If I were you, I'd just write it anew in a more compact form. If you have a reasonable memory, you should be able to recall the basics and then just re-write any bits you can't remember.

Of course that's just me.:D

BlackVenom 06-18-2009 12:08 AM

Please... Can you at least keep the conversation on topic... I hate to break things up but this is a topic for conversations about the game and updates on it... The topic has gone so far off topic that it's like a space shuttle trying to take off to space when the rocket is pointed to earth...

Fartuess 06-18-2009 02:53 AM

in full wersion i cuoldn't jump, and when i died game stops. It should take me to the menu or last checkpoint.

BlackVenom 06-18-2009 03:09 AM

The game is still under construction, that's only a demo of the game. Next time, read it before you post here.....

Fartuess 06-18-2009 03:14 AM

ok, but why i can't jump? In version for testers i can, but in full i only can go on mine...

What he said.... lol, I know I'm going off topic but now I'm back on it. Rampage, when you get the chance, PM whatever you have of the story. (copy from notepad or w/e and paste into PM)

I'll hang onto it untill you get ya PC fixed up!

so why he published version in which is anything possible to do? In test version jumping works but in "full" it isn't. I thought it was caused by bug. It would be stupid if author remove this option and add mine with premeditation...

Edit:
...and i'm not noob. ok?

Oddey 06-18-2009 05:24 AM

Sorry for going slightly off topic, if it indeed was me you were directing that post at, but I was merely giving a suggestion to him, which I felt I had to post here. If you were not talking to me in particular, then forgive this post.:D

Anyway, how are those bugs and such coming along?:D

Because The 'full version' you refer to is the actual game IN DEVELOPMENT! This 'test' thing you speak of was Josh's prototype, a version where he tested the scripting. In the actual game development some things such as jumping are not implemented yet because the sprites/time are not yet available.

Prove it to me, stop acting like one.

I can say the same thing...

I have to show some screens from Maya, Zbrush, and UnrealEngine3 to show my works?

Gonna have to wait for Joshkrz to get online and tell ya that himself. He's the only coder on the project, There might possibly be some assistance for I'm in coding later but for now all of what has been done so far is all his coding.

No, I don't care what you've done elsewhere, it makes no difference. Now sit down, shuddup and get back on topic. It's unfair to Josh that you're filling his thread with off-topic shit to defend yourself because the nasty man don't like noobs.
