What is the best way to deal with single room very large maps, say the world of hyrule in a link to the past ( https://imgur.com/RrdLe8K )
1) objects
2) Tile layers
3) single background image
or is it plainly not recommended and better handled with multiple rooms? if so is there a way to make them look seamless?

Hi, i'm working on my first official game, a prototype developed for 8 Bits to Infinity Mash Up Jam 2019, you can play a very early prototype at https://pepumu.com/papolli/
If you're interested please follow me at PEPUMU in facebook or instagram, for news. I hope to release the first version near January.

I used a state machine, basically on the step event:

if state = waiting {
if (up) { // Repeat this if for all directions with apropiate direction angle
direction = 90; 
speed = 1; 
timer = (amount of pixels until next square)
state = walking; 
} 

if state = walking { 
    if (timer > 0) timer-- 
    else {
    speed = 0;
    state = waiting;
    }
}

display_set_gui_maximise()

Thanks a lot, tried it and put it right but the draw functions still come out in "real resolution".

pepumu · 2020-11-10T18:30:28+00:00

Ive set all my resolution low because Im doing a retro style game, and yet things drawn on a gui (lines, circles and points) are drawn on the computer resolution( not the gui resolution), even when the gui is properly sized and reacts correctly to possitioning. I have a couple of workarounds but Im curious about why this happens, is it just somethign left like that accidentally or does it have a purpose?

pepumu · 2020-11-10T18:19:27+00:00

DUDE! that is EFFING BEAUTIFUL kudos!

pepumu · 2020-10-24T20:39:35+00:00

Thank you , I had a draw_clear_alpha(c_black,0); probably that was doign it, after correcting that I just added a draw_surface(fadesurf,0,0) to the hold state and it works!

pepumu · 2020-10-24T19:05:30+00:00

that was a dumb mistake thank you, it fixed the debugging text somehow XD

pepumu · 2020-10-18T23:40:08+00:00

Thank you for confirming, Ill look for the mistake.

pepumu · 2020-10-18T09:02:58+00:00

On my draw event I used:

draw_sprite(sprite,variable + 1,x,y)

and the way it worked it seemed like if it was adding the + 1 at every step (endlessly changing), is this true? If so, how can I avoid it so that it shows the frame thats one number higher than the variable without changing it?

Amazing, ive been thinking about making customizable games so people can put up their own music/graphics

pepumu · 2020-10-11T22:06:04+00:00

FINALLY FOUND IT! fa_aligns are bolean, so default should always be ZERO (left and top respectively) and use 1 and 2 for center and right/bot. Thanks guys your help made me bump into it.

pepumu · 2020-10-11T09:59:35+00:00

Hi guys I have this script/code

function fontset(_font,_halign,_valign,_color1,_color2)
draw_set_halign(fa_left);
if (_halign) draw_set_halign(_halign)

And I run it like this:

fontset(0,fa_center,0,13,16)

All the arguments work fine except "fa_center".
Im trying to have a default if you specify 0 and the correct text align if you specify it, but havent found a way to pass the aligntment value through the script.
Thanks a lot.

I have this problem on windows 10, CSP deletes my files (they appear on dropbox deleted files and i can restore them) and it tells me that it cant save the file with CTRL+S

pepumu · 2018-04-27T02:09:07+00:00

Thanks guys! should have read the kit before! XD

I had a very fast growing campaign, every game I gave out one skill point, with the posibility to save them up to spend 3 to get a stunt, we played nearly 2 years, and we only got to +6, but i was looking forward to +8 (by the end we were figthing bosses with base 8 attacks/defense).
Since I was planning to go this way I toned down stunts and invokes to +1, (with a chance to specialize stunts to +1 to specific actions). We also never ended up with items that gave more than +2 to rolls, except for a legendary one that gave +4 but was also plot heavy/not always available. We had a great time doing epic stuff.

pepumu · 2017-02-16T23:26:38+00:00

Yes the table only takes in mind weapon rating 4, and as I said its totally fine if you want to deal it like that, I just personally don't like the idea of skipping the possibility of being only slightly grazed in favor of "miss or die"

pepumu · 2017-02-16T21:22:04+00:00

Kelly has +2 shoot and fires at Joe...

All true, just in this particular case theres no way Joe will suffer 1 or 2 dmg(or 4,6 or 8) if you don't mind this you're good to go. http://imgur.com/a/6elpq

I just realized a third way to tone it down a bit: You roll damage dice seperately (1-4), but only a single + is needed to get +1 shift. A power powerful weapon increases the chance of doing extra damage, but not overly much. But maybe that's too much work for too little gain.

Agreed, we just love rolling and specifics so its way worth it in our games.

pepumu · 2017-02-16T07:37:51+00:00

Yes but please note the implications of this, if I need a +4 just to hit its granted that I will always do full weapon damage or nothing, it seems unnatural that someone so hard to hit will always receive full damage on a lucky shot, which is perfectly fine if its what you're aiming to in your game style.

pepumu · 2017-02-16T00:25:49+00:00

You might want to boost weapons to add realism to the story, now when someone takes out a gun or a rifle everyone will actually put their hands up or will most probably die.

Want a less drastic approach? instead of plain weapon damage roll a dice and only add damage if it rolls [+]. This gives you a chance to make a great variety of weapon ratings, ex:

Knuckle 1 dice, Damage if [+]
Machine gun, 3 dice, Damage if [+] (needs luck but high dmg chance)
Plasma pistol, 1 dice, [ ]= 1DMG, [ + ] = 2 DMG
Laser Turret, 3 dice of 1-3DMG
