sora adventure0.1 first attempt at lua

[yaustar]

Would Yaustar know how to do such a thing?
I did explain it three pages ago :/. AI and combat is a large area to get into which PART of combat do you need help on? As far as I can see it, there are 4 distinct steps

1. Getting enemies to just appear on the screen where you want them.
2. Getting a form of collision detection in
3. Getting attacks to 'collide' to inflict damage
4. Applying AI on the enemies

As for the crash bugs, I am going to need the latest version of the code and full details on where and how it happens to fix it.

Also a warning: You are making the same classic mistake as I did when I was working on my final year project. (see 6.2 of my Project Report (http://parabellumgames.no-ip.org/yaustar/mgs2d.php) ). It will get to point where it becomes impossible without a lot of effort to add a new feature as the code is in 'spagetti code' and everything is coupled together.

[gunntims0103]

yaustar i believe the in game crashes are gone exept for the fact that you can run right of the map and i beleive theres a code that can prevent that so once thats in the in game crashes should be completely gone bear x1 i beleive told me the code in a post il try it out

as i said before i cannot do the combat and a.i myself as it is extremly difficul for me at the moment thats why i nedd sumone else to handle that part sumone who has spare time to help do this

[Shadowblind]

Is there a way that enemies can create a sort of flash and then appear as if they were teleporting in?

[gunntims0103]

that can be a possibility but as of right now i just want the enemie on the screen that stuff will come in later updates as you already know

yaustar i guess we will keep the combat in beat em up stlyle like in doulble dragon and such if you can help do this i will send you the latest addition of 0.2 with the enemie sprites and you can see what you can do..........i do know that your busy and such and we all do things other than code in lua so wenever you have time and if you could even do this i would really be greatfull

thanx

[Apoklepz]

Is there a way that enemies can create a sort of flash and then appear as if they were teleporting in?

Yes... It's done with transparency, too. I can work on it...just send me the sprites.

I'm working on Sora's attacks right now, Gun.
I'll send em your way pretty soon.

BTW here's a Fireball sprite sheet I made a long time ago... It's collected rips from various games. I personally like these (red circle) for the Sora attack...Tell me what you all think.

[Apoklepz]

Sorry for the double post guys, but....

Gun, I need you to send me the Sora attack sprites,ASAP....I got a corrupt zip that doesn't seem work. Hang in there man, you're doing great with the script coding!

Shadow, let me know what caracters from the mega-mass you sent me are priority right now...It'll take me at least two weeks to do everyone in there, so point me to the immediate suspects, K?

I see Yaustar's helping out a lot lately...is he in the team? I hope so....Anyways, hello, man!

Oh, hello to Briggs too... Thanks for your comment on my CV sprites! BTW, what are you helping out with in this project? BGs?

A big shots out to the team in general....

[gunntims0103]

apoklepz ti seems that a user that goes by the name bear x1 has done both attack sprites for me but the are a few more i need done so i will post them here i a minute just take out the white or black box thats around them and send it back to me and then il incorparate then into the game and post screen shots of what i have so far

i think yaustar is part of the team as he has helped me greatly on this project i couldnt have fixed the probs on this project with out him

il post sprites in a min brb

[Shadowblind]

Hey Apoklepz... THOSE BEAMS ARE AWESOME!:eek: :D .Heres a sorta chart thing to name them. About the flash-in enemys, I was just thinkin a circle of light on the florr, enemy pops out, dissapears.

[Apoklepz]

OK, I get the enemy thing...I'll work on a animation for that, too... I guess I'm waiting for the attack sprites, but for now, I'll work on these beams, K?

BTW, I would love to make Dark Heart Donald and Dark Heart Goofy, if you guys don't mind.... I already drew them in a piece of paper, too...

I'll try to upload a scan when I have the time...

[gunntims0103]

here are the sprites that you have to fix for me apokelipz thanx alot

hey is there any way that you can revert them so that he will be attcking on the left as well cause all of those are right side movements

hey apokelipz wats your screen cause this thing is not allowing me to post attachment i need to send it trough e-mail

ahhhhh this thing isnt letting me post attachments

[Apoklepz]

Yes I can revert them as well, but where are they?

[Shadowblind]

dark heart donald and goofy? sounds cool, i'll try to find a suitable place in the storyline for it...

P.S. Can you send the pics to my yahoo address?

[gunntims0103]

wats your e-mail apokelpz il send it there cause this thing isnt allowing me to post attachments whats your e-mail

[Apoklepz]

[email protected]

BTW... The costume clothes you guys want on Sora are the Black ones on Shadowblind's sig, right?

[Bear_XI]

gunntims0103, can i help removing black or whit box's around sora to. if yes my e-mail is:

[email protected]

[gunntims0103]

sent them apokalipzwen your done just e-mail it back to me

sorry bear x1 but apokelipz is apart of our team and he is in charge of removing and editing sprites its really up to him if he needs help sorry:p

if theres anything else i need il try to get help from you alright bear x1

right now i have a full team helping out so we dont need much right now

[Apoklepz]

Bear can help...

Hey, Bear! Listen, I'll send you a couple of character sheets that Shadowblind mailed me already... There's work there for a whole month, so I'll gladly split it with you....Wadya say?
Try getting both left and right sides done, K?
Great to have you working along with us!
Check your Email in a little while, K?

[yaustar]

G' do you need my email address?
Apoklepz: I cant add anytyhing to the code as my coding style and approach is completely different to Gunn's. I am only here as bug fixer/troubleshooter and advisor.

[Apoklepz]

Whatever is fine by me! I always say it's great having people who collaborate in a project in general....The more, the merrier!

...Even if they get my name wrong all the time:p
I'm just messing with you Gun...."apokolipz" I crack up everytime I read it....sounds like "pucker lips" lol.

[gunntims0103]

listen everyone just pase yourselve cause as of right now all i need is the attacks and the backrounds cause were moving a little fast dont ya think i still need a coder for combat and a.i untill i get that im stuck with just sora miving around and shooting attacks at nothing so first i have to find a coder cause i still dont know if yaustar is gonna fully take on the combat and a.i so we have to hold off on all the other characters and such all i need is soras attacks done i have backround and i need a heartless and all his movements and attacks edged out as well

thats all for now

yea yaustar wats your email

ppl were moving way to quickly so just send me the attacks and the hearless movements thats all for now everyone take a break we still have things to figure out

WE HAVE TO PASE OUR SELVE WE OUR LOOKING TO FAR AHEAD FOR THE WORK WE HAVE RIGHT NOW

MY NEEDS AS OF NOW

SORA ATTACK SPRITES(WHICH APOKALIPZ IS TAKING CARE OF

HEARTLESS MOVMENTS AND ATTACKS

THATS IT FOR NOW WEN I NEED MORE THINGS IL ASK

APOKELIPZ DID YOU GET THE E-MAIL WITH THE ATTACK SPRITES

[Apoklepz]

Working on the attacks now, K?

[yaustar]

I think you meant 'pace' ;). Good call. Lets get these crashes sorted first. I take a look at the current system/code before I decide whether or not to take on the AI/combat.

yaustar_8p AT yahoo DOT co DOT uk

[gunntims0103]

LOL.......yea pace...........we need to keep it simple at the moment

i think the in game crashes are gone as i have not run into that problem until i run of the map then i get a script error there is a code to stop this i beleive so il do that in a min.............lol make sure shadowblind paces himself he's moving the fastest of us all........lol

o yea yaustar feel free to edit the code as much as you want because im still new at this so consider yourself my teacher for the moment im luke skywalker and your obi one kanobi so may the force be with us............lol............anyways yea i hope you do take on the combat i just want sumthing very simple so feel free il send you a copy of the version 0.2 if you need it im adding the ability to press start to exit the game and trying to fix the map bug

[Apoklepz]

Hey Gun....The 2 fireball attack sprites are horrid...I'll have to do an edit, tell me what you think. I'll post a pic right here in a sec.

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shadowblind]

Any idea how we are to get character sounds? Yes, I know we have to get the enemys working first, im just asking in advance :D

To your lower post:

I KNOW. THATS WHY I SAID ASKING IN ADVANCE

[gunntims0103]

yea there should be a way to do that i forgot to put music in the game i might do it in the 0.2 release but for the character sound that will have to come way later

[Apoklepz]

Ok... Fireball pics are up...
Look at my last post & tell me what you think.

[Bear_XI]

Ya shure Apoklepz il help you out il wait for the sprite. TKZ to let me help you out.


Edit:

yo your pics looks awesome i like the bleu fireball.

[Shadowblind]

huh blue fire... maybe it could be the ice spell:D

[gunntims0103]

wow those look really great remember to do the left side as well wen your all done sent it to my e-mail

[email protected]

o yea i sent the ice spell and the regular attacks for apokalpz to edit i have to send the fire spell my fault even though the fire spell is already done the animation is chessy so i want apokelpz to fix it up il send it in a e-mail in a min

[Apoklepz]

I'm grabin' a bite to eat right now, but I'll send them to ya in an hour or so, K?

[gunntims0103]

sounds good il send ya the fire spell in a min as well so that you can fix it up theres not much to be done

[Apoklepz]

I'm sending you the attack sprites right now....Look at the names of the fireball ones for script writing purposes....I think I changed the names for those.

Bear....I'm putting your file together right now,
so.....bear with me. lol

[gunntims0103]

ok good stuff

[Apoklepz]

I'll be away from my desk for about 20 minutes(after all, I am at work) okay peeps?

[fg-54]

this game looks cool.

[Bear_XI]

That is out of subject its a KH game not mario neither a 3D game or taj mahal or not even more habbo sort of game plz remove this pics.

[Shadowblind]

Actually, Mario's world is in the game....its one of the worlds Sora visits.

Tahjmahal things for aladin.

The picnic table is outta line tho...

[fg-54]

so which pictures do i delete?

[Bear_XI]

ya true but the taj mahal and mario are there but taj mahal is a bit sketchy and the mario is not a background but a tileset.

[c5cha7]

@gunntims0103
Do you still need help with the main menu?
if so feel free to PM me or MSN me anytime ;) .

[Apoklepz]

Gun, did you send me the fire spell you talked about earlier?

Bear, I'm gonna try and send you the file through my hotmail account, but I'd like to keep the messages limited to my gmail, ok? I rarely use hotmail anymore....

[Shadowblind]

ya true but the taj mahal and mario are there but taj mahal is a bit sketchy and the mario is not a background but a tileset.


good point.

[Apoklepz]

Hey Bear!!!!!!

Please type your hotmail adress correctly in your next post, I'm doing copy/paste to send you the files, but hotmail won't recognize your adress....something's not rightly written, I guess?

****BEAR'S ADRESS GOT REMOVED FROM THIS POST FOR ALL THE OBVIOUS REASONS****GO ON>>>NOTHING TO SE HERE FOLKS!!! SCRAM!!!:D

Oh, before I log off for the day, I'll leave you with a teaser icon of the Evil or Heartless Goof

[gunntims0103]

ok im now back i tolk a short cat nap because my eyes were hurting

what im doing now
1- i have just put the ice and regular attacks in the game

2- im testing now hopefully i can get a screen shot up soon

3- i will put the left side attacks in the game soon

4- i have not sent the fire attacks to you yet apokolpz but i will in a min you will have to revert them to left side for me as well

c5cha7 thanx for offering the help i might use you for the main menu thanx

be bac in a sec

ahhhhhhhhh............looks like im gonna need yaustars help for this i will pm him the game loads and then a script error shows up is it possible that it crashes if the script is reading out of to many folders for the sprites cause i got about 5 folders that the script is reading from i need yaustars help wen he gets back il send em the test 0.2 version so he can help me

[Bear_XI]

Apoklepz i just got them.

Edit---

Il start to rip thos MOB out of that sheet.

what is the size for a MOB

[Apoklepz]

rip thos MOB...hahaha

base the size according to the biggest sprite on each sheet, at least that's what I always do...

I guess we only have to make the ones that appear to be going sideways...that means left to right, and then just mirror them to get the other side. I don't think the guys want to inplemen 45 degree sprites in this game...at least not for the time being.

I'm leaving work now, but here's another teaser from my work in progress....

[Bear_XI]

Here Apoklepz if you need more sprites i always refer to this site.

http://www.kikiroxxorz.com/sprites.php

How much of each sprites do i have to do like when it walk's and everything can i have a sam ple plz of one you made?

[Briggzy11]

Wow apok I am liking the sprites and damm this now has 299 Comments it is going well in production I see :D

Mr Gunntims I was wondering if you had a new version of the game I would be able to see sometime please it seems like its so close now and I am happy to hear it going as it is :D

[gunntims0103]

i have a test version but its not complete i have to get yaustar to help me fix sumthing up because now the script crashes due to reasons i dont know thats why i need yaustar for help

besides that all of my team will recieve a copy of the game before it comes out so that you can test it and give input

[Shadowblind]

The heartless goofy looks cool except its hands... '_'

you can kinda tell they were made with a mediocre-ish art program....

Do you have any backround, or storyline as to how they turned evil? I have a few good ideas about them PM me if you wanna hear em...

What about evil donald?:D

[yaustar]

Leave a message here when you email/upload the code.

[gunntims0103]

here ya are yaustar it loads in my psp but then crashes i think its a problem in the code with the frames and stuff as i am still new to that

THIS IS FOR YAUSTAR ONLY THIS IS A TEST VERSION AND IS STILL NOT READY

[Shadowblind]

if its only for yaustar....

DONT POST IT OUT HERE!

oh well in that case pardon this post :D

[gunntims0103]

it doesnt really matter cause even if you try en play it youll just get a script error wen its done the team will get the officail copy then it will be posted

[Bear_XI]

gunntims0103 im presently making a Opera.
Here is the first pic im done whit the hat and i change the yellow to a more orange color.

bear dont release the test version that you got since your part of the team you are now garanteed a copy of the 0.2 version thats the one you can release on your site and plus your now part of the project so youll get credit

[Apoklepz]

The heartless goofy looks cool except its hands... '_'

you can kinda tell they were made with a mediocre-ish art program....

Do you have any backround, or storyline as to how they turned evil? I have a few good ideas about them PM me if you wanna hear em...

What about evil donald?:D

Man, take it easy on me:confused: !!!

I'm not mad at you, it's just that I wanted something to show you guys before I left today.... It's obviously not a "finished" sprite...And I realy don't rely on any fancy Art programs when it comes to sprites, unless I draw them and scan them in, then I use Illustrator or Photoshop to clean the outline bits...But for customizing the colors in I simply use paint(at work) or superpaint(at home).

Heartless Donald is still in his egg....By that I mean, I only have a rough sketch of him, which luckily I'll send everyone tomorrow or sometime during the week, when I'm open to do so...

Don't misunderstand me Shadowblind, I'm not mad at you, but....sheesh! I know things might appear to be moving fast, but I just can't pop out a whole custom sheet in 5 minutes...It takes more of my time to do that....Maybe 5 days.

Like I said before, riping is a whole other, easier deal...

Hope you can understand where I'm coming from, friend;) ....Call me "King Patience" if you will,....just for laughs.:D

[gunntims0103]

lol o yea apokolipz i have to send you the fire attacks so you can edit it the animations corny

[Bear_XI]

One more quest Gun what is the X and Y posy of sora i can't find it in the script?

[Apoklepz]

Hey gun....SEND IT!! lol

Hey Bear....good looking out with the Lua stuff, I'd help too, but my PSP is bricked, and I can't test zippo.

I'm studying for a test as we speak....(yeah right, so much for that).

[gunntims0103]

hers the screen shot i have so farhttp://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j21/pspnaruto/screenshot-3.png

ok so the attacks are good for now now i have to add the left side of all the attcks so the code im a little tired now bear if you could handle this i would be greatfull o yea download the fire attack sprites in the attachment

[gunntims0103]

if you can take all the left side attacks and wright them in in the lua script if you can

you dont have to its just that im a bit exausted

if ya can i will be graetful thanx

sorry for double post

[Apoklepz]

Hey, not to bother you Gun, but you're gonna have to bring the ground and ground collision higher for that level, as it's cropping some of the sprites bits....But hey, I guess you already know that.

Also, it looks like the Background sprites have been softened down a little too much, but hey....pay no attention to me, I don't want to become a nagging influence on you...GO GET SOME REST FER CHRIST!!!
XD...lol

Man it sux bad here at school....the computers don't have any art programs...not even paint!:eek:
...Well, I am in Math Lab....

[Shadowblind]

Man, take it easy on me:confused: !!!

Hey im not saying its bad:D

ever since school ended i'ce just been in one heck-of-a quick paced mood.

Its awesome, though, so dont take me wrong.

Im gonna send you a thought i had about them tho.

[gunntims0103]

yea i know i have to raise the collision its sumthing im gonna get to thanx for pointing that out

zion has become a beta tester i promised him because he gave me the title moderator and gave me my own dev section on his site

[Bear_XI]

so gun you want me to add left attack and left freezz il try it out.

[Apoklepz]

OK dude....you were almost gonna make me start a hating rampage on por ol' Sora there for a second.....LOL, just messing with ya Shadow.

My eyes and ears are open...


Gun, the backgorund sprite could be raised....at least up to where the highest windows start, you get me?

[Shadowblind]

I dont get it '_'


Im sending more advanced music over for the game.


P.S. Gun I cant see your dev section on Emushack...where is it?

[gunntims0103]

yea i got you maybe while bear is messing around with the script he could do it for me if he doesnt il do it as soon as im done with my short cat nap as you know i take several every day and i have to get ready to watch naruto......lol

i havent checked if he atually put the dev section up yet as i still havent checked thats wat he told me

bear you think you can raise the collision just a little just like apokolpsz said il do it if you dont

[yaustar]

Apoklepz: Try Portable Gimp.
Gunn: You keep using lowercase 'i' for 'Image'. You have previous done this mistake before.

[gunntims0103]

o yaustar you dont have to worry about the script bear x1 tolk care of it

[Apoklepz]

You deserve it man. Coding ain't as easy as a lot of people think....There's no "Magical Program" were you drag/drop everything you want put in the game and poof....you have a final product...That's what a lot of kids think game development is like for programmers & coders...I say they're living in the Hundred Acre Woods.

[Apoklepz]

Apoklepz: Try Portable Gimp.
Gunn: Stop using lowercase 'i' for 'Image'.

Yeah, thanks for the tip.... I do use Gimp every now and then, but I just work sprites faster in less complex programs like superpaint.

Uuuuug...pox did a doobie...Sorry.

[yaustar]

You deserve it man. Coding ain't as easy as a lot of people think....There's no "Magical Program" were you drag/drop everything you want put in the game and poof....you have a final product...That's what a lot of kids think game developiment is like for programmers & coders...I say their living in the Hundred Acre Woods.
Actually there is sort of. Games Maker and Games Factory are drop and drag objects. All the developer needs to do is add rules/scripts. The main problem is that it can be very limiting so larger games are REALLY hard to do.

[Zion]

i can also design/create backgrounds and objects for the game if you want.

I have made some for a few of my own before

[gunntims0103]

thanx apokolipz my cat nap is starting now .......o yea i have to take a regents exam tommorow its my last day at school so im happy bout that i should study but the hell with it

o thanx zion i might just use you for help in the future

bear x1 should be back soon with the script done so thats good

bear e-mail it to me at

[email protected]

you should know this already

dam this thread has 34 pages i dont think any lua game got this much attension

[Apoklepz]

Actually there is sort of. Games Maker and Games Factory are drop and drag objects. All the developer needs to do is add rules/scripts. The main problem is that it can be very limiting so larger games are REALLY hard to do.

Oh yeah, there's always that.... I tried using Game Maker for my CastleVania game before, and yes, after working with it for two whole months, I got to the point where I couldn't get the level of gaming that I wanted for it.

I still have the key if anybody want to make Cute little PC games on that program. Just PM me.

BTW Yaustar....I've always wondered, Who's sprite dat is? in your avatar...I can't seem to place the name or the game....An 8 bit War Machine torso, perhaps? Or maybe an UAF floating head? Which is it?

[yaustar]

I still agree with you that a lot of people get the wrong impression what game development really consists of. The most common misconception is that a games programmer also designs the game which very rarely happens.

Edit: None of the above. Its my own personal sprite :)

[Bear_XI]

gunntims0103 i got it to work long time already i just try to figured out why does the sprite back up when im on the left side il send it to you in a sec.



Sry gun0103 i PM it to you.

[Nasty Nate]

holy crap, i leave to a game and to work and this has 34 posts
i laughed real hard when gunn called himself luke skywalker and yaustar obi ONE kenobi lol
lots and lots of reading but it was worth it
looking real great and gunn, get some rest, study, and im pretty good at math if you need it lol :D

[gunntims0103]

lol......well nasty nate

i have a science regents that i have to take for tomorrow so im gonna crash wen i get back online tomorrow il get back to coding the game

[Nasty Nate]

well, good luck gunn

[gunntims0103]

this is a screen shot now we have left side attacks

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j21/pspnaruto/screenshot2.png

thats it for me tonight till tomorrow i got to go to bed

the last thing i want to have done tomorrow is have a hearless on the screen and sum chessy combat sumthin simple thats wat i hope to get done tommorrow and the day after

keep ya posted

till tommorrow im out

[Briggzy11]

I am going to do a update of Sora's Adventure on PSP-Online with these pictures and sprites, I think the game is coming on better and better. I will also update people on who the team are as well
I hope these are correct :-

Gunntims0103-me
Shadowblind
Briggzy11
Yaustar
Apokalpz
Bear x1

The games coming on amazingly and I am pleased to see and be part of it. To make a small contribution I am going to edit a few sprites tonight based on background items that you may be able to use sometime such as Barrels, Birds etc.

[yaustar]

My main concern is the collision system between objects since all the sprites vary in size (eg attacking) it could be difficult to manage. Without it, combat is not going to happen.

[gunntims0103]

hmm.........sumthing were going to have to fix well yaustar i have to take a regents now im going to school in a lil while feel free to take a look at the script and do any changes you feel you have to do feel free to do so

this is the newest version of the scritp make any changes you feel is nessasary yaustar

[yaustar]

There is a HUGE problem with the way that the player's animation cycles are handled which knocks on to the input handling (it is very coupled). You need to seperate the animation from the input. At the moment the animation is COMPLETELY dependent on the input presses.

Some fixes in the changelog in the file.

[gunntims0103]

just got back from taking the regents

thanx for the changes yaustar

[Apoklepz]

None of the above. Its my own personal sprite :)

Well it's a pretty sweet one at that. Nice clean simple job!

Hey Gun, I'm gonna chack my Email right now, but before I do I wanna know if you had Bear handle the Fire attack already...It would be pointless for me to work on it if he already did.

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!
Oh never mind....it's the file posted on page #32, right?

[gunntims0103]

no i dint tell bear to do the fire sprite yet i just need you to revert it to the left movment and do any artful changes you want to it

[Apoklepz]

Will do...It's just those two sprites, right?

[gunntims0103]

yup just those two

[Apoklepz]

Ok, check it out, and tell me if you like it.

Also, I'm installing the PC version of Lua right now, as I grab a bite to eat at work, to check out the game progress so far...This'll help me correct any sprite misallingments.

I'll get back to you in 20, guys.

[yaustar]

This is a little late, but shouldn't the projectiles be a seperate sprite?

Cool sprites though A'.

[gunntims0103]

great sprites apokolipz

the projectiles should be in there own srites oooopppss il have to revise that thanks for pointing that out yaustar

[Apoklepz]

I thought about that too, but I guess Gun never mentioned it, so I just went along with it...

The proyectile's charge can be part of Sora's sprites, but then, when the projectile/fireballs are flying thorugh the air...that should be an individual sprite....or I guess you could do the blast and fly sprite animations all together....

...It's really up to how Gun wants to implement it, I guess....There I go again guessing to much.

...and thank you Yaustar, I aim to please.

EDIT/EDIT/EDIT/EDIT/EDIT/EDIT/EDIT/EEEEDDDIIITTT!!!!!
OK Gun....SO...This time, I'll send you the Fire Attack sprites as usual, but I'll put the complete proyectile animation in a separate folder...That way, you can go ahead an manipulate the sprites any way you like, and you won't have to ask/bug me for them again...lol just messing with ya...

[gunntims0103]

alright so what we have so far is

soras movements are now complete
in-game crashes seem to be fixed
background is done(we can change it if nessassary)
script has been revised and checked for errors

ok so thats what we have done so far

now for the hard part since all is done this is what i want done before 0.2 is released

add ONLY ONE ENEMIE AT THIS POINT
have sum cheessy combat(sumthin easy right now)
raise collision just a bit(maybe if needed)

this is what i hope to get done but i still have nobody for the combat and a.i so im stuck at the moment looking for sum one to do this as i still dont know if yaustar is up for this:p :D

o yea apokelipz can you put the fire attack sprites allong with the left side fire attacks to

thanx

thanx

[Apoklepz]

yes, your welcome!

yes, your welcome!

I'm compiling the file right now, give me a couple of minutes, and I'll send it....Post it here or to your mail?

[gunntims0103]

post it here

thanx

[yaustar]

Dont even add enemies yet.. it is still far too early.. We need to get the collision detection in and the character animations fixed. Even the one we have for the platforms is buggy.

[gunntims0103]

lol..........and just as i thought we were ready to add enemies:( :)

yes i agree lets fix up the character animation but yaustar your gonna have to help me with the collision as you already know that im still new and your my supreme over lord master of lua coding:D so there we are we have things we have to get done so maybe by the end of today yaustar you think we can have these things done:confused:

thanx

[yaustar]

I am still extremely busy with my Master's project at the moment. Animation and the level collision should be the first priority at the moment. This includes dettaching the projectiles off the the curent frames. Also need to fix any "walk off the screen" crashes ( include jumping off the top of the screen).

The design brief is needed as well. This is a big game, developing with no FIXED direction is very dangerous. Example, health, damage, types of enemies, size of levels etc. This is the reason why every does pong and snake first.

As said earlier, I am here for direction and bug fixing, I am not a main coder.

Collision detection will be done by "box collision"

Each objects has a collision box and you just check two objects collision boxes and checks if it overlaps

A box can be define by the width and height.
Check if the boxes overlap, if they do, there is a collision.

Edit: Also remember G', this is *your* project, you still free to add/remove/change any feature as you see fit. Everything I say is based on my (limited) experience being in and seeing projects go right and wrong.

Edit2: I have said this before but this (http://lua-users.org/wiki/) should be your lua resource. The LuaPlayer Wiki only goes through the special functions used for the PSP.

[Apoklepz]

Hey, guess what? A little extra work never hurt nobody, so I fixed the Ice attack as well.

In the effects folder are the Projectiles sprites on their own...Again, check the names & all that gibberish for script purposes...you can change the names to your liking, Gun...It won't affect the pics.

I left you a note on how to handle the effect sprites animation in the Effects folder.

Let me know if anything needs fixing.

...All must bow to the almighty mentor, Yaustar!!!:D

Oh COOL:eek: You made a tab with my custom sprite....NICE!

[gunntims0103]

thanx apokolipz for the sprite fixing i will write it into the script as soon as possible

lol.........you like the user bar made it with your sprites

o thanx yaustar for all the input that you gave me on the project so far you have truly been a big help i know that your working on your own project and your just a tecknical advisor for this project so thanx for all your input.........yea i also know that i really have to withdraw and set up sum extended planning...........cause as of now the planning is very poor so i have to figure out all the extra stuff and how to approach the game in a tatical and smart manner

keep ya posted

[yaustar]

OT: In your Sig, you say "my first lua game find it here" expect there is no 'here' to click on. :P

[gunntims0103]

yea im trying to figure out how to make the picture a directury to this thread but i dont know how i was gonna ask sum one do you know how to do this

[gunntims0103]

thanks yaustar i got it now like how you made that pic in your sig the one that says yaustars portfolio its cool you keep it the same theme as you sprite that sprite is alsume

i have to ask even throu this is un of my bisness but have you ever considered making a lua game based on your sprite character since your so talented i thought you would have came up with a idea like this yourself

[Bear_XI]

Sry i whasted ther but if you din't already do it can you send me the script.lua il add the fire left to.

[yaustar]

thanks yaustar i got it now like how you made that pic in your sig the one that says yaustars portfolio its cool you keep it the same theme as you sprite that sprite is alsume

i have to ask even throu this is un of my bisness but have you ever considered making a lua game based on your sprite character since your so talented i thought you would have came up with a idea like this yourself
It was originally made for that propose but I just never got round to it. I only have actually really looked into Lua for a couple of weeks, my primary language is C++. On top of that, I am a programmer, games design isn't my field ;).

[gunntims0103]

well bear i would have gotten to it but if your up to it than thats great your really a great help:D

well this site isnt letting me post the attachments so bear il send it through e-mail wats your e-mail address again:confused:

for sum one who just started looking into lua your really good at it yaustar your a great programmer you must be really smart:) :D ;)

[Apoklepz]

Guys, did you know you can run the game through Lua on Windows? It saves a heck of a lot of time, as you don't have to rewrite everything to the PSP MS everytime you need to test something new.

Here's the link...
Download to the latest release of the Lua Player(v0.19) & more can be found here:

http://www.luaplayer.org/

Well...that's it for me for today....I have an Arithmetics test I have to attend to. Wish me luck, guys!

Talk tommorrow.

[Bear_XI]

jay_123_1@hotmail here it is and here is my sprite sheet for the Fire Thunder Opera


Edit

i used windows luaplayer a long time ago.

[Apoklepz]

It looks very nice Bear... Did you like my Fire Spell sprites?

[Bear_XI]

ya its really nice i really like the smoke on it. it has a great ballance color's.

[gunntims0103]

on hot mail i dont have to put .com or .net do i

[Bear_XI]

ya you have to add hotmail.com when sending a massage to somone.

and Apoklepz can i use your fire attack to put whit my Opera il merge it whit the lightning.

Edit---
Her is the lightfireball

[gunntims0103]

ok bear i sent it your a big help just e-mail it back to me wen your done im hoping i can get 0.2 out tommorrow or the day after if everything goes well

[Bear_XI]

OK gun i sent it to [email protected] ok tell me what you think about the sprite Apoklepz did its awesom.

[yaustar]

Guys, did you know you can run the game through Lua on Windows? It saves a heck of a lot of time, as you don't have to rewrite everything to the PSP MS everytime you need to test something new.
Thats all I really have been using :p as my PSP is on 2.7. It also makes tracking down errors a lot quicker as it appears in the commandprompt when it crashes.

[gunntims0103]

omg yaustar you have a 2.7 i atleased would have thought that you were more a 1.5 kind of guy with the ful homebrew capability

anyway yea il try to work thru the windows version even though my past eperiences with it were bad

il check my e-mail in a minute bear

thanx for the help

[yaustar]

thanx is ya dont already have the sprite sheet of the heartless just ask and il send it to you

[Apoklepz]

normal heartless....You mean this guy?

Look at my bar...I think I'll leave it like this, for now.

[Bear_XI]

Gun il be willing to help you out but i don't think im good enought.here is the only lua game i made and its pretty cheap and not finish.

Link:http://dl.qj.net/FFIX-Blackjack-V0.1-LUA-PSP-PSP-Homebrew-Games/pg/12/fid/7625/catid/194

And for your information Im ZereoX on QJ's forum.

[Apoklepz]

Hey Bear!

That game's a pretty good start. Keep at it!

Gun, I'll work on those sprites...I'll keep you posted on progress.

Talk Later.

EDIT!!!! CRAP! the User bar didn't show...

[Apoklepz]

Sorry for the doeble post....I just want to see if my sig is fixed.

[gunntims0103]

you have to place it in the image opition wen your doin your sig and you have to place the sigs url in it then it should show up

hey you think you can make me one cause mines a bit corny......lol

if ya can think ya can put soras spites in it and pu gunntims0103 on one side and sora adventure lua coder on the other if ya can do this that would be great

[Apoklepz]

Did you make yours?

I got that part....but how do I make it link to the thread?

[Nasty Nate]

apoklepz, if you didnt see it in your thread, the password for your psp, since you said you dint set it should be 0,0,0,0

[gunntims0103]

yea i made mines but i think its not as good as the one you made thats alsume hope ya can do me one

o to get the link in the pic i think its lik thi

[url]the thread[img]the user bar[img/][url/]

it should work did for me

bear i saw your card game i have to say your off to a good start with it

anyway i could ask around for a coders help for combat and a.i its not an issue now but it will be soon as we almost have everything ironed out so far

[Apoklepz]

apoklepz, if you didnt see it in your thread, the password for your psp, since you said you dint set it should be 0,0,0,0

WTF?:confused:

Oh, yeah....I already know that, that's why I have the parental settings option on...so I can decide to play a UMD or go straight to the Homebrew, when I power on the PSP.
What happens is I can either play the inserted UMD by pressing X or go to the PSP XMB(never shows, because I probably messed up the topmenu_plugin.rco file)by pressing O ...which eventually freezes the PSP and forces a system shutdown. But thanks. I'm still waiting for the modchipperoo....

[Nasty Nate]

ok, that sux, but at least you didnt fully brick it like rmg060606
ok im back on topic

[Apoklepz]

Yeah...I haven't seen him around the forums for a while...I hope he can also find a remedy for his system with the modchip.

Ok...the moment of truth.....The sig with the link!!!!
Here goes nothing!!!!

EDIT
Erk...Sig is there alright...but no click link..
Mah!

[gunntims0103]

ahhhhhhhhhh my user bars stink i cant make a really good one

anyway back on topic as soon as yaustar tells me wats the next step i should take then we will proceed

[yaustar]

Things that need to be done:
> Fix crash bug when you move below, above, far left and far right of the map
> Seperate the projectiles from the attack animation
> Fix left attack positon/animations (player goes completely off center when firing spells left)
> Seperate the Input from the animation control (at the moment all the attack and running animations are TOTALLY dependent on the length of time the buttons are held down)
> Fix the collision test code for colliding with backgrounds.

[Apoklepz]

If it doesn't work now....I'll just give up on it. lol

[yaustar]

Here A':
http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/r8du1y89.html

[gunntims0103]

ok so theres 5 things that we have to get done before we start woorying about anything else i guess me and bear x1 will tackle the coding fixes that we have to do and apokolipz will just seperate the projectiles from the sprites

alright then this is what we have to get done

apokalipz you have to do this

[url]the tread][img]the url of the user bar[img/][url/]

i left out the ] after thread it should be fixed now try it apokolipz

apokolipz ya think wen ya done ya can make me a user bar if ya have time thanx

[Apoklepz]

Ok...thanks to Yaustar and Gun it should work now....

Yeah I'll make you a Bar, Gun...no biggie, diggitty.

[gunntims0103]

it will be out soon

no problem:cool:

it just sounds like y'all having so much fun with it hehe.

[Apoklepz]

I used Super Paint to do both mine and yours.

I shrunk down Sora's Fire Attack sprites by 50% and I used a simple gradation for a background, then added some lines over that.
I gave your name an outline, because it wouldn't stand out against the background. And then I just made the "LUA CODER" letters, bit by bit.
It took me like 12 minutes to do your bar.

[gunntims0103]

omg your alsume good thing i brought you along an made ya a team member your a wiz with computer art(sprite editing and stuff)

your good

im a try to make one for shadow and briggzy and put sora adventure concept developer il try it out

any way good job

if the whole team want one il try to work on it you can take a rest apokolipz if ya want you did alot

be right bac

[Nasty Nate]

[Apoklepz]

Ok guys, I'm signing off for today...I just looked at the progress on my PC, and I guess I'll have to align some of the Sora Sprites tomorrow, before I continue editing more sprites.

Depending on when we release v.2 maybe we should make a new thread...

[gunntims0103]

[Apoklepz]

Hey! You stole my Key!
You Nasty little.........HAHAHA
That's cool Nate.

Anyways, I took the time to do a little something before I go...Fixed the Background a bit and the collisions issue...I also played with the script a bit, so now all the four Fire Attack sprites show up, instead of just two....Nothing much, but it's something none the less.

I'll fix the Left attack sprite issue tomorrow.

Test it out.

OK, now I reeeeeaaaallly gotta GO. bYE bYE!

[yaustar]

Quick question A'
Why are backgrounds 2 and 3 more blurry then 1?

[gunntims0103]

good stuff

[Bear_XI]

Awesom fix i really like it whe can now see the fire ball.

[yaustar]

Out of interest, which text editor are you using to write Lua script with (Gun and Bear)?

[gunntims0103]

[Gizmo356]

hey gunntims0103 great game how long and difficult was it to learn lua beause i want to try

[gunntims0103]

i brushed up on lua a little for a couple of weeks then shadowblind told me to try my luck at a game he came up with the idea of sora adventure it didnt take me very long i spent really 4 days strait just learning all the way through then a few brush ups on sum codes i didnt know

i still have much to learn my goal is to be a very good coder and have a great game for everyone to enjoy

you have to be extreamly dedicated if you truly want to learn lua

my suggestion is to download a program called crimson editor and learn all the tortorial on lua the crimson editor allows you to look into other lua scripts and learn and gather info about codes that you dont know from other lua sripts

there ya are

[Gizmo356]

thanx a lot bro

PSP = very cool --> (+.|____|·:·)

[gunntims0103]

great work

i just got up got to get sumthin to eat

brb

[Shadowblind]

I haven't been following too much, so what part of the game are ya workin on now?

[Bear_XI]

Tkz nasty nate but guys i wont be here for a week i live in montrel and im going to quebec for 2 days then tadoussac for 3 days then when i come back i go see my G-P at quebec again for 2 Days and then i come back i will be living in 2 days hope i can atles get the sprite of yellow/red Opera done.

[gunntims0103]

well right now we just have to make the sprites a little more smoother not a priority

we have to seperate the projectiles from the sprites the projectiles are the attacks that are shot out of soras key blade

we have to fix the "off map crash" problem because sora can still walk off the map causeing a script error so we have to fix that

and i have to comment my codes in the script so that everything is organized

this is what we are up to now

once all this is done then we get to worrying about combat and a.i and once we have sumthing simple done then we can release 0.2

well its ok bear i think i can get sum things done while yer gone but can you do me a favor before you go can you try en fix the off map prob the one that allows sora to run off the map and get a script error

thanx in advanced

[Briggzy11]

Its wierd that Bear is leaving for a few days because I gotta go for a few days too :( going see England vs Ecuador in Germany, I will get on the net sometime to see how this is getting on...

...And dont worry I am still logging everything that has been done onto a notebook file for everybody :D

[yaustar]

Just to review where you guys are:

> Fix crash bug when you move below, above, far left and far right of the map (In progress)
> Seperate the projectiles from the attack animation (In progress)
> Fix left attack positon/animations (player goes completely off center when firing spells left) (Not assigned)
> Seperate the Input from the animation control (at the moment all the attack and running animations are TOTALLY dependent on the length of time the buttons are held down) (Not assigned)
> Fix the collision test code for colliding with backgrounds. (Not assigned)
> Add descriptive comments (In progress)

[gunntims0103]

>fix left attack position

apokolipz already tolk care of that when sora shoots attacks he no longer moves of center

so thats done

>fix colliosion test code for collding with backround

i believe apokolipz tolk care of this as well so this is done

that just leaves

>fix crash bus when you move below , above , far left , far right of the map(in progress)
>seperate the projectiles from attack animation(in progress)
>seperate input controls(not assigned)
>add descriptive comments(in progress

so we are ok with our progress so far all these things i feel can be takin care of

[Apoklepz]

Hey guys I got an A on my arithmetics test! Yay!
-Nate...great start on the Bars!
-Yaustar...Yeah, I think I sharpened up the first background and left the other two as they were...will fix, thanks for pointing it out.
-Briggzy....You're going to see the game? Lucky *******!! lol Dude, I hope you have a blast and bring back pictures....especially if you see any boobies....lol.
-Shadowblind...Wassup? I beat the Jafar genie last night...When does the game start getting tough?
-Gun...Wassup G? What you talking bout, Willis? I still gotta align the left attack sprites...they're way out of center....BTW the spell sprites are already isolated from Sora when I first sent you the Fire atack sprites...remember? They're inside the "Effects" folder. Let's do it G!
HAHAHAHA...I'm way too happy today...What's priority work now?
-Bear...Sounds like you're gonna have a lot of fun, too! Good for you, man...bring pics of boobies too! lol.

[gunntims0103]

hmm lets see as of right now

ma and bear have to fix

the map crash
assigned controls

you have to

iguess fix up the movment wen sora attacks cause he moves way out of place

or did you take care of that already

seperate projectiles

you tolk care of this aswell i beleive

if you have all of this done then you can move on to cutting out one heartless and all of his movements and then saving it until we get up to our first combat

thats all for now

[Apoklepz]

Okay...The only fix I have to do is align the left attack sprites, but since we will deal with projectiles seperately, then I guess working on that would be useless, no? ...I just fixed the sprites error that would come up from a map screen to the next. I also made all the map sprites to the same sharpness level. Download it and test it right here. Also included inside the file are the projectile attacks sprites on their own(not implemented on script)
I'll now proceed to cutting out those little haertless sprites....I'll post back soon.

[Shadowblind]

-Shadowblind...Wassup? I beat the Jafar genie last night...When does the game start getting tough?


Are you playing KH 1, CoM, or 2?


P.S. Check my signature.... what does it break?

[gunntims0103]

i will test it and put up a screen shot in a min

just give me a sec

o yea shdow your sig was removed by skye the same thing happened to me you should be able to put it back il put it bac up in this thread or check you messages and see if the pic is still there then just put it back in your sig i talked to skye he told me it was alright to put mines back in my sig and mines is bigger than yours

[Shadowblind]

I actually deleted all messages a few minutes ago. Can ya resend it?

[Apoklepz]

Are you playing KH 1, CoM, or 2?

CoM, of course...I told you I got it the other night. I still haven't played 2, but I've seen my friend Jerry's kid play it....In fact, that kid won't rest till he beats it...he'll soon grow mouse ears and a tail if he keeps that up...lol, just kiddin.

Hey, Gun...I'm fixing some of Sora's sprites that seem to be cropped in the game....I'll have a file up soon, so everybody can add em to their main beta folder, K?

[gunntims0103]

i got ya as soon as i test the new download that apokolipz posted im a post a screen a nd under it im a put your sig alright im eating now ima be bac in a sec

great thanx apokolipz

[Bear_XI]

Gun i just counld get the the player to stop at the far left side of the map even if screenx = 0 that when it crash i did EX:

if screenx == 1 then
screenx = 1
end

but even there i try alot of other stuff i try to make it work im still trying to find out il post if i find somthing.


Edit--
yaustar do you know how to make a script.exe whit luplayer for windows so that the dos window doesn't close when the error ocure

[gunntims0103]

keep tryin if you dont get it then il take a crack at it and if i cant do it then il ask yaustar for help im just waiting for apokolipz to post his fixed sprites and then il post a screen then il get to coding again and seeing wats up

[Apoklepz]

Hey, Gun...quick question, where did you get the Sora sprites...They seem to be custom made, and some of them are bigger in size compared to the original Sora sheet sprites...Here's an example....That one's on the right folder BTW. The guy we're using looks a tad stretched out, if not a bad custom.

I need to know, because most of the fixes I'm doing rely on the original for reference.

Anyways, I'm gonna have to drop it for now...I have a lot of work here at work all the sudden...I'll try to upload the file when I get home, K?

[gunntims0103]

shadowblind knows were that sprite sheet came from as he is the one who found it

wen ever you can upload your work is fine with me

[Nasty Nate]

ok im back had to split alot of wood today "whew"

briggz, and shadow do you still want me ta make you a bar even that you have one, or add to them

sry shadow its amost done, and dont get motion sickness

edit: bear, what did you use to edit your bar, it looks sweet

[gunntims0103]

hey nasty nate can you still make me a default beta tester user bar so that any other beta tester can have a user bar to thanx

[Nasty Nate]

o yeah i forgot, im on it

and bear look at my last post

\\// peace

edit: i need someone to make me a gradient background for a bar, a light blue to a dark blue

[gunntims0103]

i tried but my paint and other programs cant do it

anyway as soon as apokolipz uploads his download then il post a screen of what we got so far and what has to be done

nasty nate your user bars are coming out great

[Nasty Nate]

thanx

ok i need to jump in the shower real fast, ill probably have it done between an houe and an hour n 15 minutes

brb

apoklepz, maybe u could do it for me, if not ill find one from somewhere

[yaustar]

Gun i just counld get the the player to stop at the far left side of the map even if screenx = 0 that when it crash i did EX:

if screenx == 1 then
screenx = 1
end

but even there i try alot of other stuff i try to make it work im still trying to find out il post if i find somthing.


Edit--
yaustar do you know how to make a script.exe whit luplayer for windows so that the dos window doesn't close when the error ocure
I woud use

if screenx < 1 then
screenx = 1
end

I use a batch file to run the scripts. The 'pause' makes all the difference :p

luaplayer script.lua
pause

or you can run it from commandline instead.
Start->Run->cmd

As a side note, we REALLY need somewhere where we can store the files so anyone of us can get it to look at. Even if it is just a FTP server, as long as one person is in charge of intergation so that we don't overwrite each other changes.

[Apoklepz]

Hey Gun, I'ts gonna be a while before I can finish polishing Sora's movement sprites, meanwhile try to post a pick with the updates file I put on page 48(It's in the last post on that page)...I know a lot of you have gotten crazy with the bar thing, so I'll post some gradation examples her if it helps...
