Sure... let's just assume the problem is with my compoter instead of the program...
I bet you didn't test your little game with others OS but Windows XP or something, did you?...

Anyways, by your last message i must assume you're not very willingly to know whats happening or even try to fix it...so...good luck with it... or w/e
First of all, Calm down! If nobody else got the error but you, then it must your computer. It's common sense, which is clearly something you don't have. You also told me what happened. "Fatal Error". Don't you remember anything?:-/

yay!

are your really going to make teamalpha2?
I appericiate your eagerness. With enough support, I hope to make TA2.

About the 4th demo. Would this be the final demo before the actual game? I'm curious. :-/
Yes, I think the 4th Demo would be the final before the First Version of the game (V. 1.0.0) is released, since I don't want to give too much away. I think I'll probably release once I get to the part where you enter Alien King's lair. By that time, you would've done all of this:
- Killed Plasma
- Killed Plasma's Boss
- Killed Tactica (You'll know who he is soon)
- Found The Glove of Power (Mentioned in Mission 07 By Iguana)
- Killed **CONFIDENTIAL** (...:) )
- Found Alien King's Lair. (After Searching, Of Course)

Then you go onto:
- Find AK
- Kill AK
- Retrieve **CONFIDENTIAL** From AK
- Kill **CONFIDENTIAL**
- **CONFIDENTIAL** Activates **CONFIDENTIAL**
- **CONFIDENTIAL**

Of Course, These are all general. The **CONFIDENTIAL** Parts are already planned but I'm not revealing any more information other than **CONFIDENTIAL**.
HINT: The guy at the end of Demo 3 is somewhere in there, and he's NOT Tactica.

i didn't live long did i

anyway, the demo seems good but the passwords don't seem to be working

and chase doesn't even exist as a password

alright is spelt with only one L too

and please get rid of the transition effects between screens. it's irritating

Actually, The AK mentioned in the list and the **CONFIDENTIAL** after it are connected in a way so you're not killed.

Yes, I forgot to put the password for "Manhatten Project". But I already fixed that right after I put the demo out.

What's wrong with the transitions?

PASSWORD PROBLEMS:
Only enter passwords once you're at least 4 seconds into the game. That should fix the problems with the passwords not working.

I'm onto Mission 09 now. It's a big rescue mission.

Alien King

17 Apr 2006, 21:55

What's wrong with the transitions?

1. they look cheap

2. they get tedious very quickly as it means unnecessary waiting

4. no sound plays

They're very irritating, and shows that you didnt make them to suit the game.

That's another problem with the transitions.

And the bad gun rotation thing is fairly annoying me now. It's a very easy bug to solve, presuming that you are good at solving logic problems. Otherwise, you haven't really got what it takes to be a good programmer.

Shockdude

17 Apr 2006, 23:47

They're faster and stronger. The Overheat meter at the top-right also has a smaller maximum, which means that you overheat faster. And to top it off, the goal is further than it was in Mission 03.in my opinion, they are faster and weaker, the overheat meter is longer, and the goal is shorter.

also, "voilent beast" is still there:p

farazparsa

18 Apr 2006, 04:33

They might be annoying, but the game actually loads while it's in transitions. If you don't like them, then you're going to have a white screen for a couple of seconds.

The game system is handeled differently than Game Maker. Once you use a sprite and change it in one level, you must change it in all the other levels as well, which is a real pain. Trust me, it is. I'm working hard on the rotation currently. As I mentioned before, I have to copy the events associated with it and paste it in every other battle, not to mention change the color of the hand for some of them.

Well, Here's a little proggress report:

The actual game and the levels are progressing very slowly, since I've been attempting to fix all the glitches and haven't had any time to work on the missions. I fixed everything that comes to mind, except the hand graphic glitch. Sorry, Plasma, no matter how hard I tried to tinker with the program's source, it still wouldn't work. But hopefully, Demo 4 (Final) will be released and then the actual game. I'm currently working on a new menu, by the way. I'm going to give it a bit more buzz If you know what I mean.

*Sigh*
Fine, I'll do it for you!

First, you need two sprites, preferably in the same gif (demonstration):
27337

Then it's simple coding (in GML, step event):
//remember that, in GML, 0 degrees is the gun pointing left and 90 degrees is the gun pointing up

//if the point from object to crosshair is between 90 degrees and 270 degrees
if point_direction(x,y,Crosshair.x,Crosshair.y) > 90 and < 270
{
//changes sprite of object to second gun sprite
Image_single = 1
//ange of sprite = point from object to crosshair + 180 degrees
image_angle = point_direction(x,y,Crosshair.x,Crosshair.y) + 180
}

else
{
//changes sprite of object to first gun sprite
Image_single = 0
//ange of sprite = point from object to crosshair
image_angle = point_direction(x,y,Crosshair.x,Crosshair.y)
}

farazparsa

I know how to do it in GML. The coding is easy. But I use a different engine on TGF which doesn't allow me to do that.

Damn, Kenny, you sure are into this!

Progress Report:
For the next mission, as I said before, Iguana gets captured by Tactica (Remember Him?). Kenny and Faraz have to go rescue him from Plasma's Boss' base. Since Plasma's boss is like one of those power-crazy scientists that creates those wierd but powerful things, there's a new stealth system for this level. All of the enemies have a POV (Point of View), and once you step into their view, they'll begin firing at you. Since they're mounted, you can escape by leaving their POV. This way, Team Alpha has to sneak past all of the guards and find Plasma's Boss, kill him, and rescue Iguana.

OFF-TOPIC: Tomorrow Never Dies!

I started work on a couple of new flash projects, including a non-flash 3D-Animation movie based on my used-to-be-popular mod, Agent Jose. This one, though, doesn't follow the story of the original Agent Jose. Well enough about that! Let's get on with TA:

Added more stealth mechanics, including sound
Added extra objectives to the stealth level
Fixed a bunch of glitches (Hand Bug still not fixed)
Got some work done on the Redone menu
Removed the useless box with the weapon in it
Did some new sprites

Oh, well, since I have to double all the code that the left gun uses, I do it for the right gun. But sometimes since I do the same actions for two objects, the program gets confused and glitches out. For example, if I put "If Mouse1 is pressed, create an object (0,-23) of gun 2 if gun facing right >1" Then I do the same code and sometimes it gets confused and shoots a second bullet going the other direction. There are also graphical issues with it.

I know but how will the program know which object in Group.Guns I'm talking about? :PIt will use whatever objects apply to the condition. For example, if you use "Group.Guns collides with Something", only the objects from Group.Guns that collide with Something will execute whatever actions you give them.

NEW PLANS FOLLOWING TEAM ALPHA'S FINISH :eek:
I've came up with a concept for a Worms game that I wanna add on to. After Team Alpha's finish, I'm gonna work on this. This will be AFTER Team Alpha, so I can finish that up.

Worms: Crisis
I thought of the idea of bringing the "Kid's game" that is worms to a new level. The story is intense and the action is brutal. No more "bazookas" or "sheep." It's Desert Eagles and Uzi's. The story will be concrete, involving serious matters such as the Mafia, Murder, and such. Humour will be kept to a minimum. I'm planning a Point Blank type concept. You can be killed as easily as you can kill someone else. This will bring the kid's game of Worms to a more mature audience. Of course, I'm not destroying the entire Worms design that we fell in love with. Terrain destruction, strategy, and grenades are all back, plus a lot other things. Online Play and Hot Seat is all present.

This is a forum game. That means that forumers will be present, but instead of in the story, they will be in the multiplayer portion of the game. You start out with one or two sigworms, and you can unlock more. Every mission has a rating. If you get a (currently unset) high enough rating, you will unlock a certain sigworm of a senior and respected forum member. I decided not to add people who nobody's heard of and add only well-known forum members. The sigworms that you unlock will be available in Online/Hot Seat mode, and that mode only. The story characters are all original and are not available for Online/Hot Seat. Although unconfirmed, I might also add a simple "Create-A-Worm" program that is simply the poor man's sigworm unlock.

POSTER, POSTER, POSTER, POSTER, POSTER, POSTER!
I'd like to thank Iguana for ATTEMPTING to make better gore and blood. Although it wasn't used, He still tried and put his time into it. All of the content is orignial hand-drawn by yours truely.

So in other words, it's gonna be the same as your current game, except with no humour, more features, and more blood?

And I will not give you permission to be allowed to use my character! I refuse to support a fangame that's based entirely around changing a game designed for all ages into a game depending on gore and blood being the best thing that goes into a computer game?

First of all, the focus isn't gore and blood here. It's the story, the multiplayer, the character development, etc...

Second of all, It's not going to be the same as TA. It'll be completly different. Different sprites, different concept, etc...

I haven't even got started on the new one because I'm finishing TA. The only thing I've done is the poster and that's it. Oh and speaking of which, NEW SCREENSHOT!

This time, Kenny and I infiltrate Plasma's Boss' lair and try to rescue Iguana. This is the begining of the one-before-the-last chapter in TA. Chapters are basicly locales. Like Thailand was a chapter, and Manhatten was a chapter. You can see that the enemies have sight. This is because it's a stealth mission. You have to get to the end without raising the alarm, which is activated when you're in the sight of the enemies. You also walk slower because of, again, the stealth system.

EDIT: Also, Alien King and Tactica have been shown for the first time, not to mention that THE MASTERMIND'S IDENTITY IS REVEALED!!:eek::eek: All I can say is...it will be surprising! Other apearances include Tactica, the purple guy at the end of Demo 3 and the Glove of Power, plus a brief apearence by the zombies from Thailand, as their true identity is revealed, and the Diamond makes a return :o

Sorry, Vader, Shockdude took the last part. Last year when I was first making this (Not this thread, the old one) You were actually in it :eek:. I pulled you out at the last second for this because you were so inactive. Don't worry though; I destroyed the spot with you, so nobody can take your place :). But glad to see you're back

As with the taliban/zombie army, this will all be revealed in Mission 09 which I completed 2 days ago, along with alot of other things. No, the pilots aren't the kamikaziers. They belong to the Mastermind. (A.K.A Plasma's Boss)

You never died once.

If you play the whole level, you'll see that there's a ladder sticking into the ground that you can climb into and I used a transparent rock tile to illistrate the fact that you're underground.

E-102 Worm

6 Aug 2006, 00:47

Actually, your worm never died earlier in the game.

First, your worm gets knocked out when losing to WormOfFire in the skies of Thailand, and managed to escape. Then your worm gets beaten again, this time by Iguana in Manhattan, but made a rather quick recovery from the battle, and escaped with the diamond.

Short answer: No.

Yay! Finaly finished the cutscene! About 1:15 minutes long. Took about 6 hours to make, not long. Everything is hand-animated. I took a more James Bond-ish approach towards the scene, with a comical entrance. And you can't have a comical entrance without the proper music, so I used a remix of the 007 theme I got from a friend. It's two actually. And the music actually blends into the entrance and other stuff.

Well, they aren't really demos in the traditional sense. They're just early versions showing the progress of the game.

Mind that the 4th Demo will be the last demo that Faraz will do (or is currently doing) before he finishes the actual game. Keep that in mind.

What he said? :p

Okay so no shoulder-cannons. hmm...Let's see what it has so far:
Pixeltron:
Machine gun mounted on both "hands"
Rocket launcher on both "hands" (Alternate fire; runs out of ammo)
Crushing feet. (Walk on small items and SPLAT!)

I think it needs a more distinquishing feature. Ideas?

If you got no sound with your AVI files i think you need a better codec, i had it once then i downloaded some random codec found on the internet and it worked.

farazparsa

Rofl, I use the best; DivX/Xvid. That's why it wouldn't show up before. Yeah I'll browse around www.codecs.com or something.

The good news is that I got the AVI working!
The bad news is that it doesn't have audio. :-/
The other good news is that I got MMF2!
The other bad news is that it doesn't except TGF Files. :(Umm, yes it does. MMF2 even opens as old as Klik & Play files. Just make sure you're selecting Open and not Open Project.

Rofl, I use the best; DivX/Xvid. That's why it wouldn't show up before. Yeah I'll browse around www.codecs.com or something.DivX/Xvid are video codecs, not audio codecs.

IIRC AVI is a Video File.

SupSuper

22 Oct 2006, 23:13

IIRC AVI is a Video File.AVIs are Audio Video Interleaves. They're connected but they work separate (thus why sometimes videos don't play audio or go off-sync), so he'll need both a codec for the video stream and a codec for the audio stream.

Liketyspli

23 Oct 2006, 23:22

yeah i know, or just convert the AVI to an AVI file with an MP3 sounds thingy thing.... yeah... ok. Because IIRC almost every computer can play MP3's...

farazparsa

24 Oct 2006, 01:45

Playing MP3's requires a bass.dll which is, approximatly, 20 megs. X_X (TGF btw)

Oh, BTW SupSuper, I tried to open the TGF File but it wouldn't work. I think there's something wrong with my copy. It's been acting really strange since I got it (i.e it's a little untidy; windows are wierd, etc...) I'm trying some CS.

SupSuper

24 Oct 2006, 12:02

Maybe you have MMF2 Developer, since it's the only one I haven't tried myself.

And moving from TGF to MMF2 is a big change, but it still works like before, only with a revamped interface.

farazparsa

13 Nov 2006, 03:40

Ah, I finally tracked down the cause of the error. 'Seems that MMF2 thinks it's using a non-existant extension. Any ideas on how to fix something that doesn't exist? :p

SupSuper

13 Nov 2006, 20:09

Well if your game uses any TGF extensions that MMF2 doesn't have (or can't find), that would be the problem.

If they work on MMF2 too (or you can get versions of them that do), just copy them over to MMF2's Extensions folder and then it should all work fine.

If not, you'll have to remove said extensions from the game on TGF, import it to MMF2, and then put everything back together. (using other MMF2 extensions and what not)

E-102 Worm

13 Nov 2006, 22:23

So, how much longer will this take then? (I'm very patient) :)

farazparsa

17 Nov 2006, 00:16

Not sure but it won't be soon. Also SupSuper, I'm not using any extensions that MMF2 doesn't have. That's why it's non-existant.

LOL Gordon Freeworm. Along with G-Worm, Eli Worm, Alyx Worm, Dr. Worm, and the Wormbine battle in Ravenworm, City 1337 and Nova Wormpekt. That'd be a fun little title, but it wouldn't be original. I was thinking a more Total Wormage war-torn style rather than W2-W4 comicy style.
