Allright, here goes!

[Hot Gravy]

I'm making a worms RPG with RPG maker, if you want your sigworm to be in it, just ask me in this thread and give me its profile!

I will also need some worms RPG sprites to use because I suck at making them, thanks!


Downloads: The demo is here!: http://www.filefactory.com/file/f2f89d/

READ: THE DEMO MIGHT ONLY WORK WITH WINRAR.

Sigworms to be in game so far that I have done sprites of: Inferno (mine), Luke, Mr. Game and Worm, Plasma, Buffalokid.

Help:
Enterbrain for RPG maker 2003

Currently working on: The game!

Rating: Don't know yet, should be 3+ like all real worms games when it's done.

Sprites were done ages ago.

P.S. You don't need to worry about the quality of battle sprites, instead I'm having none (as in, blank-type none) since I can't make them, and they're very hard to make for most other people!

[Plasma]

Well, as I tend to say: "Being able to make a game is only half the work, the game is next to useless if you haven't got proper sprites".
In other words, I don't expect this to go far, as few people here are willing to create sprites for an entire game, unless it's their game.

I also dislike the idea of trying to make a Worms RPG, but a bad game is still better than no game at all; so I'll be willing to help with any small tasks you may have.

Another RPG?

Oh...hey! You're not watched anymore...

[farazparsa]

Oh crud, here we go again. :rolleyes:
But at least this is about Team17. Since it's one of our members, I'll support it as best as I can, but I'm mostly busy with Team Alpha. I'm pretty average with RPGM2kx, but if you were using XP then I'd be able to help you out even more.

If I can be bothered, and if you ask nicely and frequently enough, I'll probably try and make some shiny sprites for you.

Havn't done that work for a while now...

*Thinks of the 2 year old thread*

Not sure on how this is going to work, but I would recommend seeing about W:A sprites, or something similar and simple.

What the heck? :eek:
In this thread (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=527405&postcount=10) you dismiss a Worms RPG as the "stupidest idea" you've ever heard and now you are going to support one?

How is this game about Team17? Why is this RPG suddenly in "Worms fashion (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=527736&postcount=24)". Just because you Hot Gravy?

Where on earth did you get the idea that a fangame has to be a clone of th original game and/or use sprites of forum users as avatars?

You are either inconsistent or a moron. Probably both. :rolleyes:

[farazparsa]

The other one wasn't even a Worms RPG, it turns out, but an RPG with Worms in it. Anyway come to think of it, RPG Maker sucks at making..eh...RPGs...lol. Plus now I think Hot Gravy is trying to be like Plasma. :rolleyes:

[Lex]

Farazparsa, I'm going to be really direct with you right now. I'm sure other people are thinking the same thing here. You are being way too negative. Please, if you want to be angry about something, be angry about something wrong, not about somebody's game-making effort. Please do not discourage people who are attempting to produce. Instead, commend them on their efforts.

I'm sure he might if we could see his efforts. There don't seem to be any yet.

Well, it depends what's in HG's game.

Plus now I think Hot Gravy is trying to be like Plasma.
Would you care to elaborate?

Oh, and I forgot; I request.

Just because I want to make a game doesn't mean I'm trying to be like Plasma! I mean, give me five reasons that making a worms fangame makes me like Plasma, we have different personalities! I mean it's not like anything like this will happen:

Me: Hey, I think I'll make a fangame!

BZZZT!

Me: AAAARGH! Must... obey.... Plasma... :p


And also, if you say I'm like him, he'll probably react by getting out a chair, then beating you on the head with it. Because he knows, that I've been one of THE most noobish members in the past, driven crazy by Being Watched, and once again, I can't apologize enough!


Anyways, back on topic of the actual game, I can't use RPGXP because it won't work for me (And no, I don't have an old version of Win XP). I would love to use it though!

Also, Metal Alex was originally going to make a worms RPG, and I managed to download the demo before he deleted the thread. I would like to ask him if it's OK that I use his style of sprites, but give credit to him.

[agent luke]

Me: Hey, I think I'll make a fangame!

Thats the most un-Right thing iv'e ever heard! There were noobs far more stupid and annoying then you! No offence., And besides, Your not supposed to admit that dummy!:p Jk

[Hot Gravy]

LOL!

LOL Thanks, Luke! No matter how many people hate and flame me *looks at faraz*
, at least you're still a friend! Now, anyone to make fun of that statement gets burned by my Sigworm, Inferno!

Anyways, back on the game, Luke, would you like to be in my game? Since you're the second to be in my game (I'm first), you could be the second playable character! What story role would you like if you want to be in?

[Xinos]

Where do we place bets on how long this game project lasts?

[vmanc]

I'm interested to see how this turns out. :-/

[WormOfFire]

There were noobs far more stupid and annoying then you!


Not to point out somebody,but...

:rolleyes:

(no offense)

[agent luke]

hot gravy how many roles are there to play as?

EDIT: And what IS the story anyway?

[Hot Gravy]

hot gravy how many roles are there to play as?

EDIT: And what IS the story anyway?

There's infinite roles unless I say so otherwise!

Also, the story will be decided as I go along. I could start off with Inferno having a dream about a hidden worms legendary city, then he sets out on an adventure to find it, encountering and teaming up with lots of different worms (including forum members!). If you have any story ideas, feel free to tell me!

It is a Worms RPG, it uses the characters from the Team17 game Worms. What did you expect, blowing up stuff with Worms in a fantasy world of luv? And I do believe HG is copying a little from WR.

Amen.

I'll say NEVER.

Edit: COMEDY GOLD:

Gravy, it's a demo. Tone down the critism. It's not done. Also, Plasma would need to have a registered version of GM to import graphics and such. Also, this game uses sprites not ragdolls so what you just said is pretty close to impossible unless Plasma makes an object parent to, say, the Worm's head that makes a simple hat. But then again, this could be exploited. Someone can have a huge black box and blind all the players. To avoid this, plasma would need an "if else" code to check the size. I think that, too, requires a registered version.

Turn down the critisism, eh? ;)

[farazparsa]

Amen. Just 'cause Flamie isn't active here, makes his game crap. :/
I never said his game was crap.
It is a Worms RPG, it uses the characters from the Team17 game Worms. What did you expect, blowing up stuff with Worms in a fantasy world of luv? And I do believe HG is copying a little from WR.
Leave the talking to Flamie, would ya? He said that it's not based off the Team17 Worms.
I'll say NEVER.
I'm sure it'll last long if we help him with it unlike TA...

Gravy, maybe I could meet you on MSN or something and help you out with the code (See, I'm being positive. :p)

Thanks! (Or were you only kidding?)

[Plasma]

Depends who helps him. For example, Killers would have long since stopped working on his game if I hadn't helped him.

And I do believe HG is copying a little from WR.
If anything, he's copying a little from MetalAlex's sigworm RPG; it bears a lot more resemblence to that than WR.

Speaking of which; Gravy, you might want to ask MetalAlex if he has any tips.

[Flamie]

wow, farza.. just wow.
1st: "worms rpg? lolz stupidest idea lollz" then some guy that you know comes and says he wants to do that "cool lets help him because he's one of our members"
err wtf? how do you define one of your members? someone that posts here at least 20 times a day?

Now what elliott said was right, the game uses the characters from the t17 games, what are the character of the t17 games? WORMS!
What are the characters in my game? WORMS!
wow, how similar.
What I meant was, I'm not basing this game off being with the same weapons or gamestyle or storyline related to the T17 games at all.

I dont care if HG steals anything from WR, as a matter of fact it'll be almost impossible for him to make something similar using rpgmaker or a gamemaker or w/e it is he'll be using for obvious reasons.

"I'm sure it'll last long if we help him with it
Gravy, maybe I could meet you on MSN or something and help you out with the code "

This is like the icing on the cake. You such a hypocrite, what happened to worms RPG is the stupidest idea ever? or is it normal for you to change your mind every other day? I'm starting to think its some sort of personal problem you have with me, which would make this whole thing even more ridiculous because I never spoke to you in my life, nor do I want to, nor do I care.

Henever said to help him because he's one of their members.

What I meant was, I'm not basing this game off being with the same weapons or gamestyle or storyline related to the T17 games at all.
That's why it doesn't seem like a Worms RPG.

Faraz wants to help Gravy because:
1: Gravy is still new when it comes to making games.
2: Gravy is a pleasent poster that is often willing to try and help.
It's clear that you are neither of these things.

(Also, if you also notice in the polls, Faraz had voted "Psh... ANOTHER fangame!")

I agree with everything in this post. Can we stop the whole war and maybe try both games before passing a judgement? it's getting silly now.

I'm sorry but if you believe making a game in some sort of game maker gives you as much flexibility as making a game from scratch, then the obvious reasons can be found on www.google.com

Yeah, I'm not the pleasant poster? Everytime I made a topic concerning WR you were always here to give bad comments or out of the subject comments like "the building B is 10 degrees more titled than the building A"
Did you see me go to your alternative worms game topic and describe how bad the collision, the movements, and how sloppy, slow and terrible to play your game is overall? No because I'm not like that you're making your game, GL with it I'm not here to critisize your work unless you ask me to, I never asked you to critisize mine, yet everytime you feel absolutely obliged to do so.
The one who cant post pleasantly here is definatly not me, try a mirror.

I did not ask how GameMaker isn't as flexible as something like C++; I asked how GameMaker would not be able to do the things that you have in your game.
Because I have seen countless posts about how GameMaker is really limited, but not seen any reasons to back it up.

Because I have seen countless posts about how GameMaker is really limited, but not seen any reasons to back it up.For the obvious reason that GameMaker isn't a language, it's an application that makes things easier than a language, and if you have to use an application instead of a language itself, you're limited to the application's features. If the application was as powerful as the language, there would be no need for it.

As for the rest of you, COOL IT! You're not getting anywhere with your arguing so might as well just end it.

No I didn't. I just didn't feel like also giving it a 'Touche' because GameMaker does that too.

Thanks! I'll check back later, as it isn't currently working for me.

hot gravy i have that music you wanted. check your PM.

[farazparsa]

Don't use crappy midis, use originally composed music. :p
I would give you some, but I'm busy composing my own music for Team Alpha so maybe later.

[agent luke]

i think the game maker he uses only takes MIDIs and WMVs.

[BuffaloKid]

So make some

[Plasma]

Don't use crappy midis, use originally composed music. :p
I say use Midis if you can get some good ones; the other file types are very big for such a small game.

[BuffaloKid]

Ah, but you can compose Midi's, rather than just using random unoriginal stuff.

[Hot Gravy]

i think the game maker he uses only takes MIDIs and WMVs.

It's not game maker, it's RPG maker. And it ONLY takes MIDI's.

Hey, does anyone know where i can change MP3's into MIDI's? Thanks for the help! ;)

[agent luke]

I have a program that does that..but..dont use it. It sucks horribly.

You woulden't want it. It lowers the sound so low you cant hear it and plus, It sounds annoying and nothing like the Mp3 you converted. Trust me. you don't want it.

[Alien King]

Hey, does anyone know where i can change MP3's into MIDI's? Thanks for the help! ;)

Do you have any idea how different an MP3 (or pretty much anything) is to a MIDI? If you were to chage it, it would suffer (as already said) a huge loss in quality.

No, seriously. If you could hear these MP3s I have, your ears would go ten times the size and you would say:

"PLEASE PUT THESE IN THE GAME!!!!!"

Also, the demo will come out, once I find a good WORKING host that's free.

Also, even if you can only get a program that can change WMA's into MIDI, that's fine. I can change MP3 into WAV easily.

WMA, MP3, OGG and WAV files are all very similar, as they record sound directly. However, MIDI files program the computer to play certain set sounds installed on every computer. Converting the first file type to MIDI is next to impossible to do properly without manpower.

I wouldent say that AFTER you convert them.:p

[Alien King]

I know, but it IS possible, with certain programs.

It is possible to convert, but it certeinly wouldn't be worth it.

MIDI files are very small. All they contain is the "musical notation" and other properties. The sounds come from a library on your computer.

Vocals are impossible to achieve and the sound quality is poor. This is for a normal MIDI file.

Now imagane a MIDI file created from an Audio file. The computer has to try and match sounds to different Instrument voices and the timing would need to be calculated.

Seriously. Just find a MIDI version of the MP3 that was composed.

1. It doesn't work for me.

2. Not quite, but mostly. Yeah.

Also, I found MIDI versions of the tunes. Thanks!

OK, just need a little improvement on the demo!

Also, Agent Luke gets to sort of test the game as it goes along! I just need to make an adjustment before I send it to him...

Attention everyone... THE DEMO IS READY! I REPEAT- THE DEMO IS READY!

Umm...What do you use to open that file?

Umm...What do you use to open that file?


WinRar works well, dispite it's a Winzip file.

[Plasma]

Do you think you could just save it as a .zip file, for those of us that are not currently bothered to download WinRAR?

You're that lazy?

http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Also on the computer I use to make the game, I have Winrar installed.

[Plasma]

Well...
1: The engine works fine, except try and add a scrolling screen for outside.
2: When you've finished typing a message for the game (such as that "Im a worm"), carefully read over what you've done and try to correct any typos.
3: The worm's tails are a bit flat.

1. So you mean have it so instead of having inside to outide as a completely new area, have it all as one area?
2. Yeah, the demo was rushed! Sorry.
3. Can't help it. Tried making it bigger, but I just can't.

[Plasma]

1. So you mean have it so instead of having inside to outide as a completely new area, have it all as one area?
no; I mean that, although it doesn't show in the demo, have the outside bigger than one screen and have it scrollable.
Although you probably already have that in mind.

[Hot Gravy]

no; I mean that, although it doesn't show in the demo, have the outside bigger than one screen and have it scrollable.
Although you probably already have that in mind.


Scrollable? You mean have it so if you go out of the screen left, you end up at the right side of the screen? If that's not what you mean, sorry, that's the best the scrolling in RPG maker can do. :/

[Plasma]

Nah, I meant that the screen would follow the character.

[Hot Gravy]

Nah, I meant that the screen would follow the character.

Well, it already does that, it's just the maps aren't big enough. They'll be bigger in the full version though.

[agent luke]

Its pretty good! but 1 question: Why does the worm turn into a human when you start battle?

[farazparsa]

1. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too early to release a demo.
2. There's something wrong with the Worms' tails.
3. No sign of advance scripting, just random Message () commands and teleports mostly.
4. You need Worm sprites for the battles. :rolleyes:
5. You're letting Luke test it?! :rolleyes:

[agent luke]

5. You're letting Luke test it?! :rolleyes:
Yes, Because i'm the nicest person in the world and everyone loves me.

[Hot Gravy]

If you read the thing at the start of the game, you'll see him tell you that he's using the default battle sprites for now. That's why.

[kikumbob]

1. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too early to release a demo.
Thats not true. Maybe he shouldn't have called it a demo. What it actually is is a tiny level that just showcases the game, how it works etc.

I think that it wouldnt look out of place if this was ten years ago. Since its not, its not very good. The main reason being it just isn't a very good idea in the first place. Worms don't role play.

What confuses me is why there are humans in the same world as worms and why, oh god why, are the worms exactly the size as the humans. And yes! Why in the world does that worm turn into a human before a battle? What in hell are you doing???

Ok, rant out of the way. You are lucky that a very nice song has just started playing.

It's definately a bloody good try at making a game. I take it that you are in your teenaged years? Perhaps a couple of years younger than me? For a person that age to begin thinking about developing games, even if you are using some sort of game maker to help you, is very good. Keep working on odd projects like these. Something will come out of them. There is a future in something like this yet.

[agent luke]

That's still a demo, just not in the traditional sense.

I would have thought because of a lack of sprites, but he already has the worm sprites instead of people in the inn.

Look, there are NO humans in the full version. They're just there for the sake of it, since I was feeling lazy.

[kikumbob]

lol fair enough. That explains the humans.

[Hot Gravy]

lol fair enough. That explains the humans.

I'm really starting to get into the spirit of the game, so the levels will get better as I go along. Just to let you know. :P

Also, in updates. The story is of mixed events, so it's not jut one story. To save the common complainers whining:

"I don't like this story! The whole game sucks now!"

I hate people like that. Anyways. Any more people want to be in?

[BuffaloKid]

I can't be bothered to dowload some WinRAR or whatever thing at the moment. Could I see some screenshots or something?

[Hot Gravy]

You are very lazy. Anyways, no screenshots will be taken yet. Because I'll have to transfer them from "my computer" to "this piece of junk I'm using so called computer", as I don't yet have the internet on my computer (the one I'm not using now)

[kikumbob]

"I don't like this story! The whole game sucks now!"
Who said that? I'm sorry if implied that. I meant the idea of transcribing the concept of worms into an RPG, to me, isn't a very good one.

Who knows, you could come up with a fantastic story with twists and turns and bits that make people scream and laugh and jump about but the idea behind it all, the inspiration, would still not be good.

No, I didn't mean you. On other games forums, many annoying noobs say that. Sorry if I offended you! ;)

[agent luke]

So whats your best guess on when the full game will be out Hotgravy? couple'o'weeks? months?[i'm not rushing you or anything its just nice to know that stuff]

[kikumbob]

[farazparsa]

Seriously dude, you need way more advanced scripting. It's too basic.

Also, Luke, if you keep saying that stupid "I'm the nicest person" thing, you're gonna get more annoying than you already are, so stop.

[vmanc]

A demo? Already?

To download, or not to download? Hmmm...

[Hot Gravy]

Why is everyone letting my thread die? You're just making it a lot harder for me. Anyways,

Update: If you don't pick a role in the story for yourself after you've requested to be in my game, I pick a role for you.
Also, the levels are getting more and more detailed! ^_^
I can't work on it as much as I'm back to school, though. :(

1: The thread is dieing because there's not much to talk about.
2: Ok, you pick a role for me.

[kikumbob]

I'm afraid that if you don't continously update the game the thread will die. Like plasma said, nothing to talk about. You could do what I do and let it die but update the thread when you have made an update. people will talk about it for a while and then it will die again. Only the lucky people manage to make a self-sustaining thread e.g. Splapps fanart threads. My story thread is continously dieing and being revitalised by me sporadically.

[farazparsa]

If your thread is dying, do what I do.
Double-Posting FTW!

[BuffaloKid]

And if you want us to pick roles, you should give us some guidelines as to what these include. I want to be something evil. Evil-ish.

[farazparsa]

Oh yeah I almost forgot; I WANT TO BE GOD! (seriously, like some ultimate good guy/bad guy)

[Kelster23]

I want to be in too!
I'm in my av.
And I go where Plasma does. Because of...reasons.:D

[Plasma]

And if you want us to pick roles, you should give us some guidelines as to what these include. I want to be something evil. Evil-ish.
Good idea.
I'm hoping for a 'wise man' kind of role.
And I'm always by Kelster.

[Pieboy337]

ooo I want a part of this game. I would want to be some random villager who walks up to you and gives you something shiney and then walks away. Then people will wonder the whole game, "who was that pieboy, that myserious yet ever so handsome man who gave me this thing thats oh so shiney."

[farazparsa]

LOL Pieboy you crack me up.

[Shockdude]

oh, yeah, almost forgot
my role: a worm in a game&watch system.
someone find me in a bush or buys it from a store or something. the guy uses me. i appear.
ask metal alex for more details (if he still has them)

[agent luke]

Oh noes! This thread is dying! Quick Hotgravy! Post another demo!

[Metal Alex]

Uhm! I hope you go fine where I failed... I tried to do it on RPG maker XP, and since I was alone with the scripting... it died :(

The good news is that I'm a bit good with 2003... I even did a minigame game on it... it was a test, but worked.

This means... I can answer questions... if I know the answer :p

or even help ;)

[Metal Alex]

don't know in 2003, but in xp, with coding, yes... wich I don't know how :p

anyways, there's a bunch of rpgmaker forums around, so real experts can help you with advanced things like that.

Also, I would like to appear in the game... in some way, playable or not, whatever.

But I may change my sigworm... I don't appear around too much these days, so I'm too lazy to do it :p
