  • Had an idea for a plugin to extend the # images on a tileset. Sometimes I question my own sanity. Only if I need it for my game though.
    I hate it when you spend time helping someone, & they suddenly have the thread closed with no indication whether it worked.
    I want to work on my game this weekend. But I also want to build new gardens this weekend. Why can't weekends be 5 days, and work 2 days?
    Greetings Shaz,

    Do you know what is the message plugin that he is using in this game? The game title is Stargazer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATsm9DUCdB0, I like the message style of his game, it is similar to Galv's message plug in, however the difference is, there's an image/picture beside the message.

    Sorry - I don't provide support via PMs or status feed (and I know very little about other people's plugins anyway). Please use the forum to ask for help, when ANYONE can answer you.

    Exceeded all my expectations (except the original's soundtrack was better). The changes they made from the comics were actually improvements (for like the first time ever).

    Thoroughly enjoyed it! I agree - the soundtrack on the first was better. Can't decide whether I like the original or the sequel better.

    I've never read any of the comics, so it's all new to me. Including the character who was introduced right at the end (got to watch the credits) - Mark knew who he was / will be, but I don't have a clue.
    I want to make a system where you catch bees, release them in your garden, and they pollinate your plants. Too much realism?
    Spending my day turning Celianna's Ancient Dungeons tiles into doodads.

    This is why when I made a doodad script back in Ace, I made sure it can be used to fetch doodads directly from tilesets. XD

    How did you handle blocks of tiles that contained more than one doodad? Like a tree that has other stuff on either side of the trunk in order to use up blank tiles? Did you release your script?
    Engr. Adiktuzmiko
    Engr. Adiktuzmiko
    Well, the tilesets I used so far didn't have those kind of tiles. But in theory, I can just choose to show that doodad as several parts. Like if a tree is 3x3 but the upper left and upper right tiles are actually not part of the tree, then I can choose to show rows 2 and 3 as one doodad, then show the upper mid tile as another doodad.

    Nah I didn't coz it's not user-friendly XD

    hey you helped me out back in the vx days. I hope you will pop back in now and again.
    It's raining so beautifully right now, after 2 months of nothing. I wish I had a sunroom with glass on 3 sides and could be surrounded!
    Hey there hope things are going well for you!

    Flat out since I started back at work again! Hopefully this weekend will be the last "really busy" one, and then I can get back to my game again :) Sounds like things are starting to settle down for you as well?

    Yeah somewhat ghosts from 2016 are still haunting me pretty awfully. But we'll see what 2017 holds. Glad to hear you are back at work again. Keep me updated on your game.
    Someone on facebook just commented that his beans had lots of flowers but didn't set much fruit, and he thought the erotic weather might be to blame.  I replied that I think he might have meant erratic, but that they might concentrate on things other than fruiting if the weather was erotic.  His reply was rather confused and he clearly didn't understand.  I'm now waiting for the penny to drop.

    Maybe he needs way more erotic weather for more beans rather than erratic :p

    I saw an article the other day about the now defunct Holy Land USA Theme park. At one point the wrote, " This theme park was interned for all people, no matter their race or religion, anyone could find peace. The park closed in 1984, when Greco passed away."  Not a single person could understand why that sentence frustrates me, and even less people realize that if the park was interned it was definitely a nasty evil place. They couldn't understand that the proper word is "intended"

    Oh my!  Me and my dyslexia had a few reads there!
    Watering my vegie garden each day after work, to relax, and to keep up with what's going on.  Tomatoes are ripening, basil is looking excellent, zucchinis are prolific.  Waiting for the potatoes to die back so we can dig and see if anything actually grew (all our potato attempts in previous years have been dismal failures).  Really chuffed when we discovered that we have baby watermelon and baby rockmelon!  I've been looking for them every day, but the vines are so thick and the leaves so large, I haven't been able to find any.  Today we found around 6 (watermelons), and there are bound to be more - larger than fist-sized.  Awesome!!!

    Nope!  I don't think it grows in Canada.  Best do a research since I thought you were figuratively pulling our legs with the rock melon.  (Best not be a road apple!)

    Bahahaha!  I totally forgot that's what you call them over there!
    Thinking about how to best cater for the lack of a 'back' button on touch devices (no, tapping with two fingers or whatever the method is is not intuitive, so not good enough) has led to some screen redesign, which has led to some more screen redesign, which I think is going to lead to completely rewriting pretty much every menu screen, probably as children of Scene_Map.  I am never going to finish this game!


    In other news, 3.5 days into my new/old job.  The work isn't hard, but I've been so mentally exhausted by the time I get home in the afternoons.  It's getting better with each day, so hopefully after the first week things will settle down.  I have forgotten so much in the 15 months I've been away!  I'm struggling with the most simple things.  Need to spend a couple of days reviewing the new-staff training material for a bit of a refresher.  Apart from a few new faces and lots of people changing their locations, it's almost like I was never away.

    WWIII in our house, because it's time to do reporting for home education.  Sooooo over this - every single year it's the same.  Thought I wouldn't have to do it anymore because he's finished year 10 this year, only to find out the rules have changed, and unless he has a job or is going to TAFE, he has to do it again for another 2 years. :(   Going to be a miserable week!

    Technical and Further Education.  Similar to Uni, but shorter term, and instead of a degree you end up with a certificate of varying levels.

    So you homeschool. Our mom did that for my brother and me and it was nice. I had to take a GED cold due to the school we were accredited with was no recognized by the college. Yet the first semester I go a's and b's. Go figure.

    Hey... *cybermental hugs* make the best of it!
    So my dad tried to have me listen to that "relaxing song" hoping it would help me out.  Apparently it was very relaxing for him.  He was very surprised by my reaction.  *laughs* Oh well.

    Yep.  If I'd gotten the email he sent I would have been fine.  When I was visiting just now he had my mom start up the video and start playing it.  Only for two seconds but still enough to set me off.  Really funny thing was when he mentioned it I was sceptical, thinking that it might be the same song, but he didn't think it was.

    Yeah.  I adore him.  Thankfully it wasn't so bad.  Turning it off quick plus the happiness of hanging out with my family made this one a lot better.  We all had a laugh about it and talked about how many other things I'm backwards on, like magnetic jewelry giving me headaches and cortisone giving me hives.
    You guys are all so slack!  I have told three people today to use Control+Shift+F to grab a screenshot of the active window, and not one person has picked me up on it!  I just realised as I was about to type it a fourth time.  Thankfully none of the threads were locked, so I was able to find and fix them all.  But you all missed a golden opportunity to mock me!  I think it's time I step away from the computer for the rest of the day - no more 'duh' moments for me tonight  :D

    @Zeriab what exactly is the 'good' part of that?  That I can't even remember how to take a screenshot and am giving everyone wrong instructions?  Or that I am, after all, only human?

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
