Re: The Flux (again) I am SO sorry about that but I went and re-worded it. I will try to keep my ideas in a more orderly fashion

Re: The Flux (again) Why make this into only a mod, why not a full game?

Re: The Flux (again) I don't think anyone (excluding you) honestly has the capability to do that.
If you can make a system that you think would work for this then... great! If not, then that's why hes making it a mod. |

First order of business: Rift, and White Flux. use construct, its free, its got glows, lighting effects, advanced physics, its virtually laggless, and roughly as hard as .ini modding? and its open source, but you can put any license you want on what games you make. http://www.scirra.com/ if you want, i can do the code if you can do the sprites? EDIT: by the way, my rep here may be as a troll, but in some other community's people actually like what i make in the way of video games. example: http://www.phunland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5292 if you want to see my previous work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwdeQSjf5jc&feature=fvw lafesim, an interactive physics simulation game, kind of like powder and sand games, but with physics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUkdMKTruSw freedom, a baby sandbox/open world game i got started, but then got bored. involves heavy physics and inventing vehicles. / BY 2 a quick 1 day game maker made game, short, but a neat concept. control 2 players at the same times with the same controls in different worlds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RCX7VrouHc see, i don't suck at game design, only modding, and mainly only because i cant sprite in ccs style. i can do simplistic, black and white, and gray-scale spriting decently, however. |

Re: The Flux (again) Huh.
*LAFE GAINS NEW ITEM: "Hyper's Respect"!* Maybe you should change your avatar though. Honorable mention kind of means "no significant prize for you". |

Re: The Flux (again) Alright, ignoring this solicitation and moving on...
I've banged my head against glowing emitters in the past and have always had trouble. Why doesn't this glow? Code: AddEffect = MOPixel PresetName = Blank Particle Mass = 0 LifeTime = 100 Sharpness = 0 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 0 Color = Color R = 255 G = 0 B = 255 Atom = Atom Material = Material CopyOf = Air TrailColor = Color R = 255 G = 0 B = 255 TrailLength = 0 AddEffect = AEmitter PresetName = White Flux Glow Emitter Mass = 0.01 Sharpness = 0 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 0 SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = Flux.rte/Graphics/null.bmp FrameCount = 1 AngularVel = 0 SpriteOffset = Vector X = 0 Y = 0 AtomGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Military Stuff Resolution = 2 Depth = 0 DeepGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Military Stuff Resolution = 4 Depth = 10 ScreenEffect = ContentFile FilePath = Flux.rte/WhiteFlux/WhiteFluxGlow.bmp EffectStartTime = 0 EffectStopTime = 55 EffectStartStrength = 1.0 EffectStopStrength = 0 EffectAlwaysShows = 1 BurstTriggered = 1 AddEmission = Emission EmittedParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Blank Particle ParticlesPerMinute = 5000 Spread = 0 MaxVelocity = 1 MinVelocity = 1 PushesEmitter = 0 EmissionEnabled = 1 EmissionsIgnoreThis = 0 BurstSize = 1 BurstScale = 1 BurstTriggered = 1 BurstSpacing = 500 EmissionDamage = 0 FlashOnlyOnBurst = 0 GibImpulseLimit = 99999 GibWoundLimit = 99999 Man, I wish glows were just general attachables or something.

Re: The Flux (again) Because you can't directly attach a glow to an emitter silly. You can give the emitter a glowing flash or make it emmit glowing particle.

Re: The Flux (again) Yeah, Data really needs to fix that. Currently, if you have a glow on something that isn't a flash, mopixel, or mosparticle, you will only see the glow if the object gibs.

Re: The Flux (again) Alright, this is getting ridiculous. Why doesn't THIS work?
ini code: Code: AddEffect = MOPixel PresetName = White Flux Glow ScreenEffect = ContentFile FilePath = Flux.rte/WhiteFlux/WhiteFluxGlow.bmp EffectAlwaysShows = 1 PinStrength = 99999 Mass = 0 Sharpness = 0 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 0 Color = Color R = 255 G = 0 B = 255 Atom = Atom Material = Material CopyOf = Air TrailColor = Color R = 255 G = 0 B = 255 TrailLength = 0 lua code: Code: function Create(self) self.glowParticle = CreateMOPixel("White Flux Glow"); self.glowParticle.Pos = self.Pos; self.glowParticle.Vel = Vector(0,0); MovableMan:AddParticle(self.glowParticle); end function Update(self) if not(self:IsDead()) then if MovableMan:ValidMO(self.glowParticle) then self.glowParticle.Pos = self.Pos; self.glowParticle:NotResting(); self.glowParticle.Age = 0; self.glowParticle.ToSettle = false; self.glowParticle.ToDelete = false; end else if MovableMan:ValidMO(self.glowParticle) then self.glowParticle.Lifetime = 1; end end end function Destroy(self) if MovableMan:ValidMO(self.glowParticle) then self.glowParticle.Lifetime = 1; end end there's more code than that, but I just pulled out the stuff that has to do with the glow. it all runs with no errors, and the glow particle constantly exists on the same position as the flux unit (or wherever else I put it, I tried putting it somewhere where the flux wasn't just to see if it was being blocked somehow. it wasn't) but there is no glow. |

Re: The Flux (again) Try giving the glow particle a definite lifetime, which you then reset at every frame, as long as the flux isn't dead. As another thing to try, move the ScreenEffect code to the very bottom of the particle code. I have no idea if either will work, but they're worth a try, i think.
On a side note, i'm totally excited to see how this turns out. (b'_')b |
