The Legendary TNT Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Guys, why did you tell him that? I totally knew about those but was NOT going to tell him so I could keep a trick up my sleeve in multiplayer!Master plan ruined. Teridax probably hates me now...

Katuko Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Funny, that's the same reaction I got last time someone told me about the exact same issue. Don't expect to rely on glitches in multiplayer. I will be rewriting so much code anyways, in order to make the game work online, so whatever issues you have now will likely be replaced by a completely different set once we get there.

Katuko Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) You're "secrets" have been discussed a few pages back. And Katuko, when can we expect an update with maps?*YourPlease.Maps... well, maps take some time to make, due to me having to mess around in Photoshop for a while and then port it over to the game. Since my skill at making maps is another thing that is merely adequate, that is why map work goes so slow. There are also some minor issues with coding, here and there, at least for the special features. It's not hard making a rising platform in Ta-Koro, for example, but it's hard making it so that it won't act weird when players stand on it or toss attacks onto it (especially the stone spikes or the bouncing water spurts).Kini-Nui is also just basic shapes with a sand texture over them, though I do have a center piece that is supposed to unveil Mangaia. I'm saving that for when I've finished the top part with some mountain and jungle backgrounds (look how bad that one is!). If anyone wants to help me make jungle that fits this game, feel free to do so. It would be greatly appreciated. :)I do have several map ideas on paper, including the ones that were posted by a member earlier in this thread. It just takes time to make a half-decent map, and I might need to prioritize coding game modes for you to do something meaningful on them anyways.

Sorry, I should make that more clear. For the record, this also triggers minor effects in Fire, Ice, Plasma and Lightning. The former two transfer heat from you to those around you, ice transfers cold, and lightning causes minor area-of-effect-damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorikSigma Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ah, I see. Thanks. Also, I think in future updates the present Miru powers should be in the Kadin and the Miru's new powers should only be floating up and down, not side to side.

NorikSigma Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well, Miru is Levitation, which basically means floating, and Kadin is flight, so you fly around. BZPRPG ARC 3 / Breaking Point Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think in future updates the present Miru powers should be in the Kadin and the Miru's new powers should only be floating up and down, not side to side.Going by both Bionicle canon and game-balancing conventions, this should not be the case. The way I'd balance the Miru would be the way it seems to be balanced in-story: it's easier to control, allows the user to have a controlled fall instead of flat-out flight, and allows air users to glide. The Kadin, on the other hand, is faster and more difficult to control (ever notice that Nuparu spent a lot of his time as an Inika smashing into things headfirst?), but has greater speed and allows the user to fly in any direction.Now, personally, I would go with the Kadin. Imagine the amazing dive-bomb maneuvers if Katuko allows Kadin users a melee attack... BZPRPG TIME, where you could have one post talk about dinner, and the next about lunch.

Katuko Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 In the story, and as shown in the flash animations, the Miru lets you slow your fall, hover slowly upwards, and glide long distances. We've been over the design aspect of these masks before, and the conclusion on my part is that the Miru will eventually allow you to:1) slow falls and stop in mid-air2) jump higher (but not infinitely because friction)3) glide a long distance by doing a running startIt will not a allow you to move perfectly in the air like it does now, but it will be quicker to get up high, in a way, so long as you can do it in one (low-gravity) jump.The Kadin, on the other hand, will give you motion in all directions, at the cost of being unable to stop. You can slow down by changing directions or deactivating the mask, but it will be hard to land with pin-point precision. You would not be able to stand still in the air.Attacking while flying will be possible, but of course hard to aim right. Oh, and if you crash I will likely make you take damage from it. So there.

The Legendary TNT Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well the Miru can let you levitate. So why not make it to where you can go vertically, but once in the air, you can't move left or right, just up or down. I like your ideas about the Kadin though. Pretty sweet! I might be able to master it with practice. Once it comes out---> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest X-G.12 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Kadin sounds awesome. and a real pain to code. but once it's done, I will have fun dive-bombing everything with fire one question: will the flames be controllable at degrees, such as a 45 degree angle? or is it just to the sides?

Katuko Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) I have already programmed Kadin flight in a separate project file, but like my previous attempt I have some trouble with porting it over to the actual game. Unlike the current Miru and swim physics - which are just modifications of the speed, friction and gravity variables - the Kadin requires more proper programming. This interferes with my movement system, because I was stupid enough to not make it more flexible a few years back when I started this.In the meantime, have some Castlevania-esque dash sprites.(Flying/dashing forwards and dodging backwards, in case you wonder) Edited February 17, 2013 by Katuko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're lucky you can still run the game via a Windows-environment emulator, but judging by previous reports in this thread that sadly means that you're looking at a lot of lag. While Game Maker does have export functions for Mac, Androis, iOs, etc., the Windows export seems to be the only one that properly works. Not sure about the HTML5 export mode, but I did head that one has had some trouble regarding loading external resources.So Mac-compatibility would probably mean either a really slow and buggy game, or having to recode everything in a universal language like Java. (Even then, Apple has forbidden the official JRE on Macs, and instead forces users to user their own version, which has quite a history of not working properly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katuko Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Kadin is not implemented in this version, but I am working on it. Earth, Air and Water gets new powers.

Katuko Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Version 12 is now available.Download (47.54 MB ZIP)Changes (12.0):- Added Toa of Air primary power: Wind. Pushes enemies away and refills 100 air per second underwater.- Added Toa of Water secondary power: Tidal wave. Deals damage and pushes the target away.- Toa of Earth primary reworked into Debris: Tosses a big chunk of dirt in an arc.- Toa of Earth secondary added: Quake. Sends an energy pulse through the ground, which then erupts a moment afterwards.- Damage numbers can now be displayed in order to tell how much damage an attack is doing.Bug fixes and engine tweaks:- Hau shield now stops throwing knives.- Throwing knives no longer pass through Nui-Rama and their hives.- Fixed Nui-Rama being almost immune to Tornado force.- Fixes settings file checking the wrong path when loading.- Made settings file carry the values for "Items take user's color".- Added buttons in the settings menu for toggling damage numbers on/off.NOTE: Delete the file "settings.ini" if you have an old one in the same folder as this new game version. If you do not, then your settings will still not load correctly until you have entered and exited the settings menu, then restarted the game. Doing so will save a new, default version of the settings file. It should work correctly after that. Edited February 26, 2013 by Katuko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
