i'm going to have to upload the .gmk file instead of the the .exe file ohh well

[Phylum]

Hahaha! Then i can steal your code.

Only kidding- Looks great!

[joshkrz]

i'm going to have to upload the .gmk file instead of the the .exe file ohh well

how come, i cant open gmk's, please upload as exe

[Oddey]

You know, you could just save the file as an exe. and then upload it to a site that supports exe. files. Also, Yoyogames isn't down anymore.

[joshkrz]

fileave.com, is a good, free, direct linking host. 1GB bandwidth, 50Mb Space. Its not bad.

[JayDee]

thanks josh ive got it now
http://Jdude320.fileave.com/oddworld.exe

[joshkrz]

no problem, im downloading it now

its good, alot of glitches though, but im sure you alredy know seeing as though its a beta version.

great choise of music, necrum mines, but you need backgrounds most definatly.

cheers for the preview, this will go far

[bobtheguy]

this is really cool, can't wait to see more.

[JayDee]

its good, alot of glitches though, but im sure you alredy know seeing as though its a beta version.

yes need to fix them did you see the glitchy slog

but you need backgrounds most definatly.

yes i just cant seem to find a background that fits the style. also im having problems with gamespeak sounds whenever the sound plays the necrum mines music restarts itself.
edited 48x48 icons to 32x32 to be compatible with game maker

designing music is annoying when you come accross things like that, but don't give up, most games here have been abandoned proberbly because theve come accross something thats hard to code.

annd what are the icons for? if they are for the actual game EXE then thats not the best size.

Max Size for Windows XP: 64x64 ico
Max Size for Windows Vista: 256x256 png

so the icons wont look that good, but its only icons so no need to worry that much

[JayDee]

in game maker you can only use 32x32 icons for your games
edit-_- ive made more of my game including a barrel ride minigame \(^_^)/

[Oddey]

This has defininate potential. You're doing everything right so far, aside from a few minor things.

ah ok then,

ive just played the game again, and its actually really fun to say not alot goes on at the moment, this is gonna be really good.

[JayDee]

here are some ripped sprites from a thread on here, credits to Paul

its not all of them but its some and it does include a bird portal.

Note that the sizes are squashed so you need to resize them appropriatly.

it dosent look like it, that thread used to be my happy place when i was a guest here, i really wish he came back.

he was so close to ripping all the oddworld backgrounds and sprites as well. i bet his rep was through the roof.

[JayDee]

i've updated the game to fileave now. it includes my beta barrelride minigame
