spinal	I'm struggling to decide if the glasses should match the sprite, or be more clear... I think clear glasses.... -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	Hmm... I think I prefer the transparent lenses..

steve_ancell	Clear glasses seem more natural looking on the character.

spinal	Not sure at all about intersection of dialogue screens and such. I'll just try a bunch of stuff and see if anything works. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	Haven't read the code, and am basing things on what normally happens when I try to do a similar thing.. (which, coincidentally, I'm currently doing for Lyrics in VidGen!) Once you're at the end of scanning for words, your current-word usually has the last word still waiting to get parsed, because you haven't reached a " " after it. Either add an extra " " to the end of the string, so that it knows there's a last word there, or alternatively copy+paste your display code at the end of the loop, to flush out that final word. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	I wish I had the motivation to sit down and work on this solid for a few hours, but checking the fridge and going and seein if my phone is finished charging seem more important to my brain Anyway, I have no idea how to transition in and out of the dialogue scene, any suggestions?

Jayenkai	I don't think you need one going in, from the menu, that seemed ok. But between the game and the dialogue it is kinda jarring. How about a simple fade-to-black. Though, I don't think B3D can do that easily, can it? Hmmm.. OK, how about "teeth"? Graphics 512,512,1 Repeat CLS 160,160,160;ResetDraw if GamePad(ButtonA)>0.5 and transition==0 then transition=1 if transition>0 transition=transition+1 if transition>=(ScreenHeight()3)/32 then transition=0 SetCol 0,0,0 n=0 for x=0 to ScreenWidth() step 32 if n==0 then Rect x,(0-ScreenHeight()2)+(Transition32),33,ScreenHeight()2 if n==1 then Rect x,(ScreenHeight())-(Transition32),33,ScreenHeight()2 n=1-n next endif Flip Forever --v -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	Here is something I tried on the arduboy a while back, using a set of 1bit dithered tiles... View on YouTube I think it works ok. Although I should work on the speed a little. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

spinal	Well, that's more than a little frustrating! I made sure to use character count to detect line breaks and still, for some reason, this happens! The box is always 24 characters wide... something aint correct somewhere \|edit\| Well, this is just silly. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	Is it.. 1. Something to do with the fact that the text is misaligned, and starting at 3 instead of 1. You might be overrunning by a couple of characters because of that. 2. That the counter starts at 1, not 0. You might be overrunning by 1 character because of that. 3. That the "^" IS being detected, but that you're seeing the "^", where normally you wouldn't.. If that were a space, it wouldn't be an issue. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	Oh, wait, I'm way over thinking this. 1. It's Blitz, I don't have a seperate render loop, so I don't need to be able to leave the function and return to it, I can just stay there until it's done. 2. I did a reasonable well working word wrapper for my watch that time... -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

spinal	I meant codewise like this... Function newDialog$() oldDialog$ = current_dialog$ isSafe = False While isSafe = False dialog_line = Rand(2) ; waight the negative a little If dialog_line <=1 Then ; Negative whichLine = Rand(9) Select whichLine Case 0 newDialog$ = "I can't believe this! All the crates are in the wrong places! /b How are we supposed to be ready for the delivery trucks? /b" Case 1 newDialog$ = "I've emphasized the importance of organization so /b many times. They just don't listen! /b" Case 2 newDialog$ = "This is all basic stuff! /b How could they be so careless? /b" Case 3 newDialog$ = "We can not run a smooth operation like this. /b Our reputation is on the line! /b" Case 4 newDialog$ = "I won't let this setback define us. /b We will learn from this and come out stronger. /b" Case 5 newDialog$ = "Unbelievable! I've had enough of these mistakes. /b Time to have a serious talk with the team. /b" Case 6 newDialog$ = "We're drowning in chaos. /b How do they manage to mess things up this badly? /b" Case 7 newDialog$ = "It's as if they don't care about their work! /b What kind of example are they setting? /b" Case 8 newDialog$ = "Every mistake reflects poorly on us. /b We can't afford these errors again! /b" Case 9 newDialog$ = "What a disaster! /b Our efficiency is being dragged down by incompetence. /b" End Select Else ; positive whichLine = Rand(8) Select whichLine Case 0 newDialog$ = "All right, enough complaining. /b I need to fix this mess. /b" Case 1 newDialog$ = "I'll move the crates myself if that's what it takes! /b We can't afford any more delays. /b" Case 2 newDialog$ = "No time to waste. /b I'll show them that I can take charge and get things done. /b" Case 3 newDialog$ = "I'll make sure we are ready for those delivery trucks, /b even if it means working overtime. /b" Case 4 newDialog$ = "Alright, no point in dwelling on this. /b I'll put things right and we'll move forward. /b" Case 5 newDialog$ = "I'll roll up my sleeves and dive right in. /b Together, we'll make sure this place runs like clockwork. /b" Case 6 newDialog$ = "It's challenging, but we'll turn this around. /b Let's prove that we can handle any obstacle. /b" Case 7 newDialog$ = "This is an opportunity to show our resilience. /b We will bounce back stronger and more efficient. /b" Case 8 newDialog$ = "With determination and hard work, /b I'll ensure we never face such a mess again. /b" End Select EndIf If newDialog$ <> oldDialog$ Then isSafe = True Wend Return newDialog$ End Function --v I think there are enough sentences for now. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	Ah, ok, gotcha. Use a bag system For n=0 to 9:Bag(n)=n:next For n=0 to 9:s=Rand(0,9):t=Bag(n):Bag(n)=Bag(s):Bag(s)=t:next --v Then go through Bag in order and you'll have a random one each time, but always different. Once you reach Bag(9), give it another shuffle, and go back to 0. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	Some of the boxes have holes in them, if they do, there's now blinking eyes on a random timer per box, Wasn't on the todo list, but it was more interesting than duplicating the ingame maneu for the titlescreen to actualy close the game. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!
Mon, 04 Nov 2024, 04:18
Jayenkai	Do you need to hurry to move the crates before the little creatures suffocate in there? Or do you need to ensure each creature is in the right place, making the puzzles harder, since each crate needs to end up in a certain hole? Maybe creatures might attack you if you try push/pulling a box from a specific side..? Oooh, the possibilities of added complexity! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	no, no, no, no. If I can't be motivated to show your score at the end of the level, there aint no 'getting bit by crate monsters' going to happen. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!
