    for what? I'm dragging my heals because I have a heap of stuff going on and not enough time for it all - that's all :)

    Have you been spying on me?
    Shaz
    Shaz
    That depends ... do you have anything to hide?
    Zeriab
    I have not forgotten you, don't worry ^^

    That's okay :) I'm going through the ways I need to redo my script.

    And... Have fun > :D

    That moment when realizing WHY your script isn't working, gets you no closer to a solution.

    Having a debugger would indeed be incredible valuable.

    Also actually knowing how it should work helps incredible when debugging an error.


    Recently I was trying fix a logical error at work where I did not know nor understand how it should work. Nobody I could find knew how it should work either :x

    Debugging scripts is a real pain sometimes. I wonder if it's possible to make a debugger without stepping into illegal modification territory. I want to take a look at that some day.

    Well my global beta tester registration is filled with unwanted spam about something bad. It really filled my e-mail with it. I already put counter measure on it but I still received spam than tester request (Idk. why but the system allowed you to keep any commercial game they tested for free, I was expected a few new tester request). I could really fell your pain.

    I think Shaz is talking about the people posting those spam wall of texts in this forum... On the other community that I've into, we also have these problems...

    I know the feeling. I'm a mod on a different site, and there are trolls who just LOVED to bypass IP bans via the TOR Proxy.


    Joke's on them, since the owner of the site created a proxy block that can block TOR. Still slips by on occasion.

    Setting up a blog and pastebin for my scripts. Who'd have thought that creating banners and deciding what to put in the sidebar would be worse than actually scripting?

    You'll get it right on first try. I got faith in you.

    lol - well, it took me about 11 tries before I got it right. Now I've just got to do the same for every other script I want to post :)

    While pulling out my mouse script into a standalone, I've found at least one thing that just doesn't work, and a couple of things that can be done in a much better way. They're fixed in the standalone, but do I now go back and mod my own project, or adopt the 'if it ain't broke ...' attitude?

    You're welcome. There are brazil nuts, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios, macadamias, and dozens of other assorted nuts in there. You will be finding them for days.

    Outlining a side quest in Word just to get the switch/variable sequence right before eventing it. 1 quest, 4 steps, 3 NPCs, 3 'item' events. Just the outline took 4 pages. And this is supposed to be a relatively easy quest.

    I do the whole, entire game like that. Main quest, from start to finish, could take a few hundred page (dialogue included), and I'm expecting my game to only be 10 hours long. You need to be able to look back and make sure you're using the right switches and variables that you've referenced elsewhere. "Throwing stuff at it and hoping it works" is a sure-fire way to have a bug-filled game. ESPECIALLY one as big as you're aiming for.

    I'm new to this, I'm LEARNING! ;)


    As to the hundreds of pages for the main quest... I've already got that outlined over the course of nearly 350 pages... Course, that's not got any kind of switches, variables, or anything-it's based off a book I wrote because I found out that games needed hundreds of pages of outlines!


    I'll get there, eventually. Mostly still learning the system and GOOD event skills, and still trying to figure out EXAC...

    *Exactly how scripting works. Total Noob here! ;)

    I have the joyous sounds of Pikmin 3 playing in the next room as I work. Thankfully they're not as invasive as the Mario games sounds, so not as big a distraction as I was expecting.

    Wow that's lame...I've never had that happen with a new game before.

    It wasn't the game. Turns out NONE of his Wii-U games would play, but all of his old Wii games were okay. I searched a bit on Google for solutions, dreading that we'd have to send the machine away to be repaired, after he'd been hanging out for so long and was so excited to finally get the game. Turns out it just needed an update (we don't power it off very often, so they're few and far between), then all was good again :)

    Phew. xD I finished Pikmin 2 like idk how many years ago like 3 at most. I like kiddy things aswell as mature, manly things (more kiddy things tbh).


    GO IMMATURE GUYS! ;D
    Shaz
    Pikmin 3 is out tomorrow. Enjoying my last day of peace and quiet, because I just know that for the entire next week I'm going to be hearing the Pikmin 3 soundtrack right outside my office door.

    Who's that? I know our local EB Games is GETTING it today, but try as I might, I couldn't talk him into letting us sneak in this afternoon and pick one up :D
    Shaz
    I have spent too much time today writing scripts to resize event graphics and to play looping animations, starting from any frame. Now tell me why I never seem to make much actual PROGRESS on my game. :(
    Shaz
    Shaz
    Oh, and helping other people figure out why THEIR events aren't doing what they're meant to do.

    Balancing stats today. Using a gazillion spreadsheets. I'm gonna cry if I do all this and it doesn't work :(

    That's a lot of spreadsheets! But, you seem to have it mostly under control, so you should be fine. :D
    Shaz
    Shaz
    lol - I THINK I know what I'm doing. Whether I have it under control remains to be seen ... on the first play through after implementing everything. I dread the thought that it's just not going to work at all :( Trying to be too clever.

    Hope this helps:


    Some mains things I try to figure out before going into calculations is how many battles of a similar leveled party should complete before leveling, how many rounds a random encounter of similar leveled parties go through, and how many hits can a hero take before they're downed. All in all, the pacing of the game. It always seems to be a nice starting point :)

    You act like you don't like me.
    Shaz
    Shaz
    Not at all :) You reported a mod, which is against the forum rules, and you posted a nasty comment in your status update about mods, which is also against the rules. I gave you a warning for that. It doesn't mean I don't like you, just that what you did is not on.

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.
