Feedback / Idea: Bookmark Icon

« on: October 16, 2007, 04:52:48 am »

I know some sites have it like google.com and aol.com. The icon out to the side of the bookmark. I know I can change it in IE but I prefer to use Firefox and you guys are the only ones that don't have an icon, it shows up as a piece of paper, and it would be cool if you did.

Screen included so you all know I'm not just talking here.

Audio / Request: Any sounds for a Mario game

« on: October 16, 2007, 01:23:55 am »

The title basically sums up what I need:
Paper Mario (1 or 2) or Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga SFX Any sounds will do!

Why?

My latest project: "Super Mario World 3" uses a combat interaction system similar to Super Paper Mario, based mainly on screens and videos because I haven't ever really played the game, with some slight alterations to make it a unique Mario game. If you can find sounds that you think could be appropriate for the following needed sounds feel free to post about it here even if it's not from a Mario game (Hint: I'm using a Megaman X-Shot Charge Sound in the game so the game's sound can be flexible)

The following sounds I request are:

Healing Sounds - for Heart Power and Flower Points (I'm not calling FP flower power because its sounds too girlish!)
Offense Sounds - Mainly impact for Mario jumping (He won't have his trademark hammer) and fireballs
Defense Sounds - Mainly for when Mario is Ducking when is hit.
Attack Sounds - For when Mario is hit by an enemy
Block/Repel Sounds - For when Mario uses Superguard to block or repel an enemy's attack
Standard Enemy Fallen sounds - For when Mario or a Thwomp, they can kill too, kills an enemy (The enemy's hp reaches 0)
Major Item Pickup - currently I'm using the Zelda64 Tadadada! SFX But since this is Mario game its a little out of place.
Minor Item Pickup - currently I'm using the Zelda64 Ta Tata Da! SFX But since this is Mario game its a little out of place.
Mini Boss Win - I'm thinking of using the current sfx NSMB uses but it could be changed
Boss Win - I'm thinking of using the current sfx NSMB uses but it could be changed

Well that's it.

Those who contribute will get credit (but no codes this is kind of a minor thing)

Expect a pretty darn good Demo as soon as the sound request is filled or I figure out a suitable fix.

Coding / GM7 Help: Shaking the screen (horizontally only)

« on: October 09, 2007, 12:51:52 am »

For my project too look Mario authentic I need the screen to shake when a particular object falls down onto and object below it, i.e. thwomp slams on to the ground. I know there is a tutorial for shaking the screen but it shakes it as if you were in an earthquake and I want more of a horizontal screen shake. So anyone want to take a stab at helping me with this I don't even know where to start.

Entertainment / GM Game: Super Mario Bros Bowser's Terror (need help)

« on: October 08, 2007, 02:28:09 am »

Hi I know what your probably thinking... this is a game maker game. Yes but this is a gaming sub-forum right? And that is a game right?
Anyway this is not ad by the way for the game.

Enough formalities on the to problem. I've been playing this game for a while wondered if anyone, who has played the game, has found how unlock the warp pipe in the first world that appears to lead to a yellow switch palace. (Screen included) I've search all levels (2,3,fort #1,4)
around the lock and I can't find a keyhole or secret exit.

Anyone want to help?

Note: the included picture is not my save file. Its under a new game so you all can tell which level I was talking about.

Other Discussion / Mozilla Firefox is [no longer] driving me nuts!

« on: October 06, 2007, 07:16:11 pm »

OK first is the specs:
Gateway M366
Intel Core 2
CPU T5200 @ 1.60GHz, 798 MHz
Memory 1GB
OS Windows XP SP2

When I open Mozilla Firefox it crashes.
When can get it open without it crashing, the minute I start typing... it crashes.
When can get it open without it crashing, and close it... it crashes.

I've tried re-installing it and nothing changes! Right now I'm using IE6.

BTW IE6 keeps informing me this forum is a scam, is there a problem?

Can anyone help me? I don't want to stop using Firefox it was great before this crap started!

FYI: Firefox version 2.0.0.7

Feedback / Red Tinted Goron Theme & Tan Tinted Deku Theme

« on: October 03, 2007, 07:28:00 pm »

Well would any of those listed in the title be a good idea for some new themes?

I was thinking the goron theme could have a red tint throughout and gorons on the top bar and the goron ruby in the backround kind of like the zora theme.


Also the deku theme could have a tan tint throughout and the deku tree and some WindWaker deku kids on the top bar and the koriki emrald in the backround also kind of like the zora theme.

So how about it? Good idea? Bad?

Other Discussion / "Cyber"necks: The 21st centuries Redneck!

« on: October 01, 2007, 10:15:27 pm »

ok first let me tell you all something. I live in the Southern part of the US and technically I'm a redneck.
But if your a redneck who goes on the internet constantly what would that make you?

My guess is a cyberneck.

What would be a cyberneck you ask?

I think you be one if:

You constantly discuss partially meaningless world events that aren't even happening in your own state/country.
Make large replies to the simplest post.
Post frequently (your post count in well over 1337)
Talk computer slang like LOL WTF IDK.


Any other ideas as to what could make one a cyber-neck?

Recruitment / Help No Longer Needed: Cameo sprite and info (Topic Closed)

« on: September 27, 2007, 07:55:19 pm »

Hi, I was wondering if any of you would lend me a tiny hand with my game "Super Mario World 3: Bowser's Conquest?"
As a cameo for the game?
All you need to give me is some sprites of some character that represents you on this forum (like an avatar)
I would require:
 (FYI: This is a 2d Side Scroller.)
Walking Sprites (needs to match style in pictures below)
Standing Sprites (needs to match style in pictures below)
Emotions Sprites (optional)
Keep in mind that you can, and I recommend, you edit the three pictures shown below into your character (it can still sort of resemble Mario) so it will match the style of the game.
Basic info of you: (your part will be a guy that gets sucked into Mario's World from an unknown reason or you can be someone who is native to Mario's World, omitting the example dialog shown below)
Country/town you reside. (if you chose not to be native to Mushroom Kingdom)
What topic and forum you most frequent. (if you chose not to be native to Mushroom Kingdom)
(Example: "username: Last thing I remember is that I was typing about topic in forum on Zelda Fan Game Central when all of a sudden...")

What's in it for you?
You will get:
An exclusive cheat that will allow you, the player, to move any and all objects in the game at any time during the game!
Daily E-mail updates of the progress.
Demos made available to you weeks before its posted here or on yoyogames.
Your screen name and, if available, real name at the top of the begining and ending credits!

Reply to this thread if your interested!

Other Projects / [Pre] Super Mario World 3: Bowser's Conquest (Title Revised) FULL UPDATE

« on: September 24, 2007, 11:22:07 pm »

Update: Scratch that python and pygame is a little too foreign to me right now and it would take me a year or two to port my game over so it's resumed on gm7.

ATTTENDTION: This game is now on hold. I'm attempting to port this from gm7 to python pygame which may or may not work so stay tuned for updates!

Story: Mario, Luigi, and Peach are taking a walk along a shore in Mushroom Kingdom when Bowser swoops down in his Koopa Copter and nabs the Princess. Kammy, following behind, attempts to zap Mario but he darts out of the way. During Mario's struggle with Kammy, Bowser, using a mysterious object, warps Luigi into the mysterious object. Mario attempts to stop Bowser but is distracted by Kammy's persistent blasts. After completing their mission Bowser and Kammy run off, leaving Mario alone. A bright light fills the sky and the land, under Mario's feet, disappeared causing him to fall into the water below. Will Luigi ever get out of that thing? And what is it? What caused the Kingdom to change so suddenly? Will Mario save Princess Peach?

Okay now for the eye candy:


Title Screen                                         Mario hopping along with full power.
(The Name "Bowser's Conquest"
 curtsy of Moldrill)

Climbing a vine.                                    A bad time to pause the game, isn't it?

How can Mario survive against those goombas?
FYI: He shrinks when half his hp is gone.

Nice eh?

Discussion / With Mario games times have changed. Should we keep the timer?

« on: September 24, 2007, 12:02:57 am »

OK, this is the last question I'm going to ask before I release some beta release pictures of my new game and a demo.

Is the timer really important in today's Mario game?
By "today's Mario game", I mean the Paper Mario NGC/Wii era.
By "timer", in case you really didn't know, the three digit number that counts down the number of seconds you have to complete a stage.

So?

« on: September 22, 2007, 04:44:00 am »

I received an e-mail saying that a video was removed from my account because it a infringing copyright from Fox.
Which is all fine and dandy but what confuses me is that they deleted my video but didn't seem to mind any of the thousands of copyright infringing videos of Mario, Simpson's, other Family Guy clips, the list goes on. So WTF? I say if there going to delete mine then, delete all copyright infringing material from their site!

Debates / Free Speech is Dead in America

« on: September 18, 2007, 02:41:14 pm »

Now they haul people off if they ask the wrong questions!
The story says he used up he time and was "peacfully" asked to stop but the accompanying video says otherwise.

Here is the link:
http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/student-arrested-tasered-at-kerry-event/20070918063509990001

In my opinion, the guy was arrested for no reason.
I paused the video several times to see if it was a mistaken gesture that got the police upset but no they just arrested him for:
"Were you and Bush is the same... secret society [in college]"
That's a honest question!

Discuss.

FYI: my opinion is purely from a personal stand point not political so please, no one flame me for this!


Edit: Well AOL really made me feel stupid, My brother looked else where on the internet and he found the rest of the video AOL had cut out, he was in the wrong. I was wrong.

Other Discussion / Help making cabinets!(SOLVED)

« on: September 12, 2007, 10:03:01 pm »

I've heard that .cab files are more secure and compress better than .zip and I was wondering:
How does one make a cab file? I know how to make a document with .cab as the extension but then how do I put files in it?
How do I extract files from it?

Here is the deal:

My game uses, as some of you probably know from past topics, mp3 music heavily and I want to lessen the file size within the exe so the load time won't be slow at all. My idea is to compress the music into a cab, store it into the exe and on execution of the game extract the music files to a temporary location.
I already have the music extracting straight from the exe to the temp location I just can't figure out how to get them in maximumly compressed state. FYI I'm using RoachofDeath's EarCandy scripts to manipulate the music files which is why I need them "outside" of the exe file.

Anyone want to take a stab at this?

I googled it and found the solution.

Entertainment / What is a reasonable resell price for a used Game Cube...

« on: September 06, 2007, 05:41:06 pm »

I was thinking of selling my Game Cube with the Game Boy Player because I saving money for a
Wii! 

And I wanted to know what would be a fair price for it?
It has no original box but it has the instruction manual for it the Game Boy Player attached to it. (Plus the Start up Disk for it)

I checked with a Game Stop, they tried to rip me off by wanting only $5.00!

So what do you all think?

Debates / OCCC (Oklahoma City Community College) supports Game Maker! THE DEBATE

« on: August 17, 2007, 07:25:58 pm »

I was touring the college, looking for the classes I am going to take this year, and I came along a brochure that listed all the software available for the students to use for free via the Student Computer Lab and in the listing was game maker!

I will post a scan of the brochure later, right now my scanner's broke. :'(


Still its pretty cool!
