Coding / [C++] Integer to String and Vice Versa

« on: November 19, 2010, 02:02:35 pm »

Hey dudes, Im having a bit of trouble with C++ and as this is the only place I know that has people with C++, well you know.

Very simple to start off, how do I convert integer to string and string to integer?

I can grab the code I have tonight.

(This problem has taken me hours and Im still stuck, but I solve views in a matter of minutes. What's up with that?)

Discussion / [Poll] Cutscenes

« on: November 15, 2010, 05:27:51 pm »

Hey dudes, first poll I've made in ages! Im considering cutscenes for my indie games and I have a choice. There's 3 possible ways to go.

If you guys can vote it'll be appreciated. Also, this is in terms of an RPG

EDIT: Damnit. Part of the topic is gone. That's strange. I'll rewrite it. Gimme 5 mins

Comic Strip Style - This is by far the easiest method of cutscene to make! It's pretty much each part of the cutscene is a panel in a comic strip. However this can also be a let down as most of them are never animated. However if you have an amazing group of artists this can be one of the best options.

In Game Scenes - Almost every rpg and adventure game uses this type of cutscene to my knowledge. The In Game Scene is when rather than being a Comic Strip or a Movie Time, the game is acted out in the same graphics as the gameplay itself. Sorry I can't be more explanitory with this.

Movie Time! - Great examples of this are Kingdom Heart's Intro and Ending scenes. These scenes involve smooth flowing animation in graphics similar to the Comic Strip Style (Or very detailed graphics) and voice acting. Now this is by far one of the better scenes in graphical terms, but it will need to be done right.

Coding / [C++] Rooms

« on: November 14, 2010, 10:41:01 am »

Howdy folks! Im doing c++ in a unit and it's time to work on my end of academic year assignment already. I have most of it done in my head! Except a few things. The first thing of course is rooms!

In one of the high leveled criteria, we need to have multiple levels. Now I have a theory in mind though I want to know what you guys would do in my shoes?

For this example lets assume there are 3 levels.

Discussion / [Discussion Time #2] For an RPG, what graphical style suites it best?

« on: November 12, 2010, 02:07:21 pm »

Time for discussion time again! This time, it's about an rpg's graphical theme

When we think if rpgs, we think of detailed landscapes. But with Fable's rise to fame years back, it now comes to a question what style suits it best?

The Detailed Cartoonish style of Fable
The Detailed Realistic style of Oblivion
The Simplistic Cartoonish style of Windwaker
The Simplistic Realistic style of Skyward Sword (Im thinking of Link here)

What do you think? Time to discuss!

Audio / Request : Spirit Tracks : Train Sounds

« on: November 06, 2010, 02:14:22 pm »

Hey dudes, I need help again. I've implemented a train program which I intend to use for a sidequest in Chiming Bells

I checked Goodnight's sound database and he hasn't done them yet.

So if anyone could quality rip the following sounds I'd appreciate it

-Train in motion
-The sound that occurs when you can change signals
-Train stopping
-All steam sounds

I'd appreciate it. Credit will be given

Recruitment / [Request] Place I can find/hire spriters

« on: October 28, 2010, 02:22:25 pm »

With YoYoGame's latest blog entry, me and my team now have a very high chance of going commercial. So we're going to look for better artists.

Does anyone know where I can find/hire spriters? (Except Spriters Resource as there's no 'Looking for...' section)

Discussion / [Discussion Time] Could Zelda ever have RPG traits?

« on: October 21, 2010, 06:54:11 am »

I was on GMC again and I checked up on a zelda rpg project which I though was going to fail and it's progression since its crappy form is so much better. Now this got me wondering. Could Zelda ever have RPG traits without it truly affecting the gameplay? Now this is a discussion instead of a feedback as I already am working on a Zelda game which I ain't giving up. Now at a first glance, it does seem possible, however I have a few notes.
-How would the hearts system work now?
-How would the damage work now?
-Would enemies level up with the player?
-How high can the player level up to?
-What about the items?

Those are the points which in my opinion prevent a zelda rpg. Though looking at that user's attempt at it, Im not to sure about my doubts anymore.

Anywho, discuss!

Audio / [Request] A specific Spinner Sound

« on: October 11, 2010, 07:17:24 am »

I'm no good at ripping sounds and Goodnight doesn't have it in his collection. So I need someone to rip it for me.

It's the sound that you here when the spinner is attached to a wall

I would really appreciate it if someone could find me that sound

Coding / Prioritized Direction

« on: October 10, 2010, 09:15:00 pm »

When I first made Chiming Bell, Mamor told me I need to implement Prioritized Direction. However I have no idea how to do it again. I really gotta save the code.

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem?

Graphics / Request - Tile Spriting Tutorials

« on: October 10, 2010, 12:33:17 am »

It's almost time to start making professional games. However at this moment in time, I'm the only spriter. Although I can make good sprites, my tiles...kinda suck. Too plain.

So if anyone knows of any good tutorials they recommend (If anyone says google or yahoo it, I'll cyber-slap them. You can never find good tutorials that way.) please can you post a link?

I'd appreciate it.

Discussion / [Solved] Classic Microsoft Paint

« on: September 25, 2010, 10:48:02 am »

I completely hate the Windows 7 version of Paint. It's awful! Can't Microsoft do anything right?

So could someone find me a download link to Vista or XP paint?
I can't do any spriting with 7's version.

Graphics / Trying to do 3d Modelling again

« on: July 31, 2010, 11:49:01 am »

If some of you may remember, I tried to do 3d modelling but had a few problems with it. Mainly importing it to GM. Now I've fixed the problem Im wanting to try again. However I need to find a freeware modelling program (Not blender. I've tried multiple times to use it and failed. The interface is way too complex). Could someone direct me to a good modelling program? There are only 2 criterias one of which is optional (but preferred to have)
-Exports to .obj (Needed)
-Gives measurements. (Like increase the width by 20 units or the current place of the cursor is -157 units away from the x axis) (Optional)

I'd really appreciate it. I know about 3ds Max (Currently inquiring about it but looking for another 3d modelling software incase things aren't good), Wings, Anim8or and Blender

Thanks for all who help

Discussion / [Solved] A 3D modelling program that actually shows measurements

« on: June 06, 2010, 08:06:24 pm »

Seriously, why the F*** do none of the decent modelling program show the unit measurements? When I say measurements, I mean say your going to draw a cube on the x,y plane. You can draw it at 20 by 20. And then you can extrude it by like 30 units.
Is that so hard to find? I have tried blender, wings, sketch up and anim8or with either none of them having measurements or none of them actually telling you how to turn it on.

Could someone point me into the direction of a modelling program that actually does what I've explained above?

(Yeh Im a tad pissed off right now about this. If you don't understand what Im looking for, lemme know and I'll continue explaining)

Entertainment / Why Square Enix why!

« on: May 14, 2010, 08:29:14 pm »

I found out today that Square Enix decided to remove a world from Birth By Sleep before release! WHY!!! It in my opinion would've been the best one. It was the Jungle Book!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gzU4LkbYE8

And to make it worse, they were going to do it in KH1 but they scrapped it for Tarzan!
ARGH!!! Square Enix, you've for once lost some of my respect. Shere Khan would've made an awesome boss.

Discussion / Just wondering, what your fave sub-genre of RPG?

« on: May 01, 2010, 07:32:31 pm »

As the title says. Im not sure what else to write. Basically all Im wondering is what's your favourite sub-genre as Im probably going to develop towards that genre depending on what it is.

Anywho, lemme know why as well.

As the title says. Im trying to finish my computer graphics portfolio for my uni course and I need to use an animator to make animated GIFs.

(If it can have transparency that would be great as well)
