Entertainment / Adventure ideas?
« on: September 06, 2007, 06:24:05 pm »
Hey, I'm going to be helping out with some Dungeon Mastering at a group of newish Dungeons & Dragons players soon. They're all low levels, the highest being 6 or so.
Sadly we don't have any decent low-level adventures left to use, so we're going to have to write some more of our own. The problem is, I'm not the most imaginative person in the world and was hoping you guys can help me out. Just pitch me some adventure ideas. Nothing too fancy like saving the world or anything like that.

Entertainment / Best Three Freeware Games
« on: April 19, 2007, 07:46:20 pm »
Just figured I'd post the best three freeware computer games of all time:

3. Toblo - http://toblo.csnation.net/
 Awesome game. The entire map is made of up blocks, which your character picks up and throws at enemies. Fun.

2. Torus Trooper - http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/tt_e.html
 Most people already know about this one. Awesome game, gets really fast on Extreme mode.

1. Rumble Box - http://phackett.com/rumblebox/
 This game is God. 'Nuff said.


Everyone, post your own lists.

Feedback / Search by user only?
« on: February 24, 2007, 10:16:40 pm »
Not sure if this would be possible, but just a suggestion.
Right, when you search for something you can search by a word/phrase and user, or just a word/phrase. What you can't do however, is search solely by username. This would be a handy feature, such as if I wanted to search for all topics in say...the Zelda Graphic Arts forum by TaKaM, or all pssts in the Programming section by Goodnight. I think it'd be a good feature for the new forum, maybe if you could let the 'Search for' box support wildcards.

Feedback / Posts Per Page?
« on: February 04, 2007, 02:59:13 pm »
What happened to the 'posts per page' feature? I'm sure it was here before, where has it gotten to?
If, for whatever reason, it has been removed, it should be re-added.

Coding / Picking Up Items
« on: January 26, 2007, 05:52:27 pm »
Just out of curiosity, what would be the best way to create a Zelda-style picking up/throwing engine? I've considered using paths, a move-to-point style system, even time lines, but what do you guys think would be the best method to make this?

Graphics / Link (OOA) Rips
« on: January 21, 2007, 04:28:11 pm »
I know these have been ripped already, but the rips tend to be discoloured, misaligned or otherwise tainted. These have been ripped with the slow-but-great OAM Viewer in Visual Boy Advance. A lot of the sprites are actually rotated in-game, such as the left-right sprites, but I've rotated them anyway for the lazy amongst you. All sprites (excluding the sword) animation from the left-most frame to the right-most frame. From the top-to-bottom, each row contains the up, down, left, right sprites respectively. Each sprite is 16x16, has a near-white background and a separation of 1 pixel.
There are still some sprites left to rip, then I may move onto other characters or just get lazy and do nothing.

Walking:



Attacking
(Note: The second frame lasts for two frames, and Link steps backwards then forwards, but this is handled in-game)



Sword



Pushing:



Pulling/Carrying



Jumping
(Note: The fourth jumping frame is the second walking frame for each direction, so it is not included.)



Playing Harp of Ages
(Note: The harp itself is a separate sprite)




If you use these, give credit to Nintendo/Capcom, or the Oracle of Ages Graphic Design team:

Other Discussion / ZOMG HAX
« on: January 10, 2007, 02:53:34 am »
I kinda kept bugging this guy on MSN, and he's all like "lol locking you out of MSN." then it said he was typing something, and then my MSN crashed. I tried to log-in but it says my password is incorrect, I've tried re-typing everything a good 50 times. The 'Forgot your Password?' link does not work as whenever I enter the number it says it's invalid...has anyone ever heard of an exploit like this before?

Other Discussion / Guess-The-Cable
« on: January 08, 2007, 08:53:02 pm »


I got this cable with my laptop, but I'm clueless as to what it is. I was thinking a TV-In/Out cable. It didn't say on the box, and all the packet it came in told me that it was manufactured by Gigabyte and that it had been recycled four times. So, someone go tell me what it is...and I don't need any comments about how sexy my bed sheet or finger is :)

Other Projects / Orbit
« on: January 06, 2007, 12:14:40 am »




It's back, and it's bad. Seriously, it's horrible. Anyway, as some of you may recall, I started a project several years ago called 'Orbit'. The game revolved around a cute little yellow ball-like creature who would mindlessly jump from platform to platform and destroy enemies. The first game died horribly. The second game was popular for about eight seconds, in which two spin-offs (Spin and Gyro) were made, and some sad person went and made 'fan' art. I also made a 2-bit version of the game with a cheesy story to it, but it, like its predecessors, died horrifically in a hard drive explosion. Now however, I'm re-creating the project from scratch.



What's this?! WORKING slopes?! Also note the repetative tiling
in the background that is supposed to represent mountains.



Wow, like...OTHER platforms....also note the awful
pseudo-parallaxing on the clouds..



BALLOON!


Anyway, as you can see, the game is already at 'craptacular' stage, and a demo will be released shortly. Feel free to steal my excellent tiles from the screenshots and sell them off to other companies. Peace out.

I recently set-up a Netgear router on my desktop computer so I could use its internet connection on my laptop. It worked fine, but I want to know how to wirelessly transfer files from my computer to my laptop. I've asked around #zfgc, but they're all useless smegheads (*cough*Sol, AcidGame, Da-Huntha*cough*).
So, can anybody help me out here?

OoA/S & LA / [LA] Link's Awakening Tiles
« on: December 27, 2006, 12:13:04 pm »
Does anyone have any tiles from Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons? I'm told that TakaM once had a large tileset, but none of the links I could find work. TilesNet isn't too useful either, as it's just the overworld with divider lines thrown in. So, can anyone help me here?

Thanks in advance.

Coding / HELP: Slopes
« on: December 10, 2006, 09:22:58 pm »
Slopes. I can never figure them out.
I have a fairly standard platform engine and I have a slope of 45??. How do I make my character go up the slope?
I've tried various methods, ranging from simply making the character's y value decrease by one whenever it touches the slope, to individually checking each pixel to determine whether the character should move up or not. These tend to be messy and work badly. What would be the easiest way to create a working slope?

Coding / Follow (Game Maker)
« on: November 18, 2006, 07:57:37 pm »
Hello. I've only gotten back to using Game Maker after several years, and I'm having a bit of trouble. I have a shadow that is positioned below the character using the following code:
Code: [Select]
x = objCharacter.x+3;
y = objCharacter.y+11
It works fine, but when I have the character set to increase its y value by 0.25 using the following:
Code: [Select]
y += 0.25The shadow 'stutters'. I can sort of see the reason for this, but even if I use
Code: [Select]
x = round(objCharacter.x+3);
y = round(objCharacter.y+11)
It still stutters.
Now, I need the character to move at a speed of 0.25. Lowering the speed of the room is not an option. I've also already made it travel using an alarm that increases its x value by 1 every four frames, as opposed to 0.25 every frame.  I've also tried setting a 'ytarget' variable that increases by 0.25 every frame, then the character increases its y value when ytarget is more than 1 over the character's y value. Both methods work, but not efficiently and they're awkward. Also, I feel I should note that the character moves flawlessly, and that the shadow uses an image_alpha value of 0.5.
Is there anyway I could fix this?

Thanks,
Sir Cyrus.

Feedback / Forum topics opening funnily...?
« on: August 16, 2006, 08:29:47 am »
It's weird, when I open a topic the posts don't appear in order. In my controls "show most recent posts first" was uncheched, so I checked it but it didn't help. Then I unchecked it again. This is weird, can someone help me?
I use Opera 9.0 Bee-Tee-Double-You.
EDIT: Cheers for the move. I didn't know whether to post this in Community Speak, Tech Talk or here. I went with the most popular xP. Still, can someone help me out here...?
