I downloaded a 2D MMO creator and am trying my hand on creating a game with a Digibutter/Bitlands/SPM theme. I am currently looking for help in the following areas:
-
Mapping - The engine uses a built-in map editor, so this part isn't too complicated.
-
Spriting - This is where I need the most help, since I suck at spriting.
-
Hosting - Currently the only way I can host the game is via my home PC, which means I won't be able to run it 24/7. If anyone knows of a free/cheap host that allows the running of servers and programs (specifically, a windows executable), please let me know. (Francis may be able to host, but he's very busy at the moment and hasn't been able to try yet.)
I've tried doing things like this in the past but they've always failed for various reasons. Provided there's enough interest on the site however, this might actually work.
I'm using a program called XtremeWorlds. It's the first engine I've tried that isn't hard to use or crashes repeatedly.
I could only do the playing part.
As for browser integration, if anyone can suggest a way to do that I'll be happy to give it a shot.
Server's up, client can be found here. Let me know if you get any errors.
I'll definitely try this out. Expect random spur-of-the-moment "this would be awesome" suggestions from me over time.
Server online and original post updated.
The game's playing some wierd music because it doesn't have the updated music files, I'll release a new version of the client when that's sorted.
Download this and extract the contents into the client folder to get the updated sounds. Also, you can now go east out of the Bitlands to find the Void and the first powerful enemy of the game.
Server's down for the night.
I've set up my computer so that the server will run whenever I have the computer on. Does anybody have any suggestions on the dedicated hosting issue?
Thanks to a rather clever piece of scripting, the server status is now an image that is automatically updated to show whether the server is on or off (updated every 10 minutes).
Haha, just downloaded the update. I was going to suggest the Open Plane!
In fact...I have a looped version that works with the Wii (seamless loop).
If there's a way I can implement that into this, I will.
I'll get to work on seeing what I can do about the seamless loop. My only gripe is the intro might have to be sacrificed.
This program needs a better music system. Probably an Intro file and Loop file.
I can't seem to save it as a MIDI...this is a problem...oh god Goldwave crashed trying to load the loop, I think.
I'll try again.
That's better.
My format-manipulation skills are pro.
PROGRESS
Bowser Battle ready (MP3)
Brobot Battle ready (MP3)
Fort Francis ready (MP3)
Francis Battle ready (MP3)
Mimi Battle ready (MP3)
Darkness/Void ready (MP3)
Mage class added.
Even when I run it as administrator [right click > run as administrator]:
DLL register failed, you do not have permission to register dlls. This program must be run as Administrator.
I am the administrator.
Post a link to the latest upload; I need to eat and then I'll probably work on the next 3 songs.
DONE
It's Show Time!
Ready, GO!
The Open Plane
BONUS!
Closing Battle
I need more weapons
If anyone's interested in mapping, developing or spriting please let me know (either in the topic or via PMs) and I'll make the arrangements in-game. Remember that if you abuse your powers, I can and will find out and you will be jailed or banned depending on what you did.
I said I did right click > run as administrator, but that didn't work.
I managed to fix it.
this page has TONS of sprites from almost all the mario games, and some great sprite renditions of SPM characters. give credit to whoever made the sprites you use
@DimFish: That site should definitely help, but it'll probably take time to get everything up and running.
Just finished uploading a new client with a few extra sprites.
I want to work on adding more weapons
So I haven't been paying attention all day.
A general update to progress would be lovely.
Tile Pool, eh? That shouldn't be hard for me to loop, since I've made a .brstm of it already.
Tile Pool music is ready.
At Bitlands S there is now a cave containing a shop filled with extra powerful items, which you can purchase using Premium Coins. These items are currently more powerful than all the other items in the game, and will remain so - as new, more powerful items are added I will update the Premium Items so that they are constantly the most powerful.
The first (and currently only) way to gain Premium Coins is to fight O'Chunks, who has a low chance of dropping a coin when defeated. As time goes on, I'll be adding more ways to earn these coins, as well as new Premium Items to purchase.
Why does it say my password is incorrect even though I have it set to save my password? @.@
Yeah, that'd be lovely.
All done.
