As i noted before i sent the thread lock request on the origonal thread, I am taking things slow, and making sure this is done right this time. Credit to supernova for the new improved Sword animation as well as the old one :) [img]http://i.imgur.com/4XaFe.gif[/img] He would appreciate feedback as well a quick bugfix: Luigi no longer sinks like a block of lead in water, The Gravity now affects your falling speed underwater Jump Strength is now adjustable :whoops: HOPEFULLY fixed the lag problem [u]NO PROMISES![/u] You also have a chance to see the weapon level up system, though its incomplete. feel free to fill me in on any more problems [url=http://www.box.com/s/sqmo8m68mf0dbueb2p8d][size=200]DOWNLOAD HERE![/size][/url] (thanks again for helping with hosting miles) ---update--- Supernova made an aerial attack animation for the sword, which was implemented immediately. ---Another Update----- Okay, Fixed the last bug that was spotted, and continued development on the engine, Controls have been rewritten: Z=Jump X=Run C=Attack SPACE= Switch weapon, Axe placeholder implimented, (for now, its just a recolored sword) All Water has been replaced with a global Tide. In debug, HOME and END adjust the level. Dimmed the grid so that it isnt so Eye Searing. Audio implemented, Credit to Vinny for the Background music. ----------yet another update--------- Debug now resets to OFF on frame start Default Variables for the testing area implimented to load on frame start Drowning implimented Axe implimented All framerate sensitive events and objects have been adjusted to meet with the 60FPS cap Death Implimented. Damage system implimented,

Early in development in this, i made a promise to Yoshiman that i would release a prototype once i got the animations in, in order to show one of my configuration methods. well, here is the prototype. [s]Controls: Arrow keys: move around Shift: jump CTRL: run and attack Up arrow key: swim up faster Down arrow key: Swim up slower Space: switch weapons (not implemented, subject to causing glitches) if you find that you cannot attack, press space again.[/s] Debug code: Hold Space+Alt+enter (In this order) this can be entered up to 3 times, Debug 1: show player colision boxes Debug 2: runtime adjustment system Debug 3: turbo engine adjustment runtime engine adjustment controls: hover over the value you wish to change with the windows cursor. Left click: Add value Right click: Subtract value Turbo adjustment works by holding the mouse button(s) down. Adjusted values are NOT permanent. however, these are the same values that you would enter to be permanent, feel free to share any values you come up with simply take a screenshot, and post it here. And finally, have fun with it. ;) Feedback is appreciated.

This is pretty interesting. You'll probably want to lower the run speed and swimming gravity in the final version, though.

Thanks for the tip.

im guessing game maker doesnt have debugging because thats basically what your doing with your adjustment system -- debugging.

[quote="TheShyGuy"]im guessing game maker doesnt have debugging because thats basically what your doing with your adjustment system -- debugging.[/quote] This isnt made in Game maker, its being made in construct. and it does have a debugger, you are right, this is more or less debugging, by my own means. What im doing with this is cutting out several steps in testing, normally you would have to close the app, set the value to test, then reopen, just to see what a single value does. this lets you test several values in a single run.

[quote="TheShyGuy"]im guessing game maker doesnt have debugging because thats basically what your doing with your adjustment system -- debugging.[/quote] Game Maker do have a debug mode. Plus, its debugging is only work running from the source. Anyways, that's great Nite! So how does everyone think of the sword animation I remade?

Yes, Supernova is responsible for the 3 stage sword animations and the modified luigi sprite used in this. thanks for the compliment as well. :)

If thats how construct or game maker worked, then all you'd be cutting out is the pausing and playing. Good work so far, like the new ideas instead of clones.

its microsoft visual studios express IDE -- its pretty good but it wont be handy for you. Its not a general IDE, its only for programming languages like C#/c++/html?/vb/etc [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570309[/url]

Good engine here. Along with Vinny's suggestion about the running, I'd also like to add that Mario's gravity in the water is way too much - he drops like an anvil in the water. Also, it seems that there's a lag between pressing the jump button and actually jumping. Unfortunately, I don't know what is causing it. Other than that, I don't see too much of an issue here, looking good! As for Supernova's animation, it's a great animation, but Luigi randomly turns skinny when the sword animation plays, so he should modify it to match Luigi's body.

fixed some bugs, check the top post.

Blame me on my laziness for not doing the jumping sprite. :sick:

[quote="supernova"]Blame me on my laziness for not doing the jumping sprite. :sick:[/quote] dont go overworking yourself on my behalf now. ;)

aerial sword animation has been implemented, (thanks supernova! :D) as well as some hang-time added to the jumping attack

Looks perfect from what I can tell. I was going to complain about the old-fashioned Clickteam endless bouncing glitch that makes you keep jumping as long as you hold down the Shift key, but then I realized you've already fixed that. That said, a little part of me misses seeing that irritating bit of programming on MFGG...

Wow, this looks really impressive! I did notice a few sprite issues, but I'm sure those will be easy to fix. When swimming, if you stop moving and touch the ground, Luigi is still showing the swimming sprite, and if you press CTRL and one of the arrow keys repeatively, you can magically slide across the room while sword-slashing. Gotta say, this is some nice programming here, Nite! I really like what you've done here! Gotta try out that construct thingy ;3
