As for the tileset, I'll see what I can do. ;]

I'm sure you can tweek the tileset a bit to make it look nicer :)

Tournament has been released. Simple One player game for now. Many more to come. Clicking tournament warps you to the outside of the Tournament Tower, there are no insides yet, so just bare with me for now. But talk to burt to Play FarBall. Also Hover over the FarBall Logo to get game information.

I just downloaded the levels MrOmega sent me but just experimenting right now. I love how he went through and applied transparency to many of the tiles I would use for layers. Opens up a lot of for creativity.

MrOmega

11-13-2010 04:00 AM

I'm looking forward to your work.:) I'm going to be redoing the tiles here soon, (to be more classic like?) So I'll email you the updated one when done. :)

Well here's the new tileset. Comment and criticize please! :]

This is not a public release. So if you want to use just ask permission from me.

Updated map of the overworld, sorry for low color depth. Only 90 colors to fit under the one MB restriction.

E.Here's also a smaller version with 256 colors

Not much to say other than the fact that forest in the top-right is horrible. Why are you using NPC's for EVERY tree(at least I'm assuming so, because trees definitely don't tile that way). Why not just tile them correctly? The way you have it now screams in my head, "THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE PERSPECTIVE-WISE!!!" It kind of looks like someone went a bit crazy right-clicking a tree NPC.

Also, don't overuse the rocks in the dirt. It makes it look very busy.

Both of you are correct, if you play through the forest in game it seems to run fine, I've had someone message me that before but retracted what they said after playing. :P

I think you should still try to make an effort to keep them more into perspective. Regardless of whether it's tiles or NPCs, it looks like NPCs.

MrOmega

11-16-2010 08:08 AM

In my opinion, they look fine and when you are going through the forest it looks amazing to me. I appreciate your opinion but I kindly have to disagree with your post about the perspective. Sorry.

I think the trees look fine, but I agree with the rock statement.

MrOmega

11-16-2010 10:05 PM

It was the sand paths doing but I'll go through and fix it sometime

Gave the dungeon a face lift and cleaned it up some. Please note, levels that seem empty are filled with certain NPC traps and baddies. No level is 'empty'.

I beat your little mini-game(which I gotta admit was fun), but got nothing. WTF.

MrOmega

11-23-2010 05:01 AM

Lol, its just a demo, the full game has 255 levels only made about 70 currently. In the end you'll get V-Coins, which can be spent to in the tournament tower to give your character plus stats or items for a certain amount of time. Such as +2 Str for 2 hours or +1 speed for 24 hrs, or extension for the grappler for 20 uses. My apologies. :p

Congratulations on Hosted man! Call me if you got quick assignments :)

MrOmega

11-23-2010 04:14 PM

Well, here's may be something fun for those of you who like to develop. My Farball mini game needs about 150 more levels to be done, I figure I'd let some of you make levels for it. It's quick and simple, just follow the format I give below.

Just imagined each number is a object

NPC Code:



  0  - Empty

  1  - block

  2  - Spike Top    ( V )

  3  - Spike Right  ( < )

  4  - Spike Bottom ( ^ )

  5  - Spike Left   ( > )

  6  - Goal

  7  - Player Start

  8  - Ramp    /|

             /__|

  9  - Ramp |\

            |__\

  10 - Ramp |¯¯/

            |/

  11 - Ramp  \¯¯|

               \|



  All Levels are 15 by 10

Basically Here is what Level one looks like in code.

PHP Code:

  1,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  2,  1,

just forum PM what you have and I'll go through it and see if I like it. Thank you!

How do I get past the old man? The gate's open but the old man won't let me pass.

MrOmega

11-24-2010 12:41 AM

The old man is a bug that popped up. When ever a player would enter the castle and log out while still in the cutscene, the script wouldnt remove the old man, fixed now though, sorry.

MrOmega

11-30-2010 12:49 AM

Updates :

Fixed a few Bugs
Strafing System in almost done. You can toggle straffing by pushing the SpaceBar. May change the button need and if the key toggles it or you must keep the key pressed down. (Will need player input for this decision)
Targetting System has been started. All Objects/NPCs will incorporate it somehow. Currently there are eight actions you can try to do to whatever is targetted.
- Move To Here
  - A Simplistic point'n'click movement system.
- Look/Study
  - Try to get more info on what is targetted (eg. baddies)
- Open
  - Try to open the target (eg. chests, crates, etc)
- Read
  - Try reading what is targetted. ( eg. stone statues, signs, etc)
- Speak To
  - Talk to people without having to be right by them. ( eg. someone up on a roof, that yo ucan't access)
- Attack
  - Automated attack system, will attack baddies, will not work on Bosses
- Close (REMOVED)
  - Try to close the target (eg. chests, crates, etc)
- Do Nothing
  - Just move arounf the target so you don't automatically do what is selected.
The Object Targetted, is zoomed 1.25 times so in crowded areas you can see what is targetted.
Objects that are targetable will have a very faint target circling them also.
The whole targetting system can be toggled on/off by pressing 't'
Major Updates to the Overworld/dungeon
Updated Tileset
Varia has finally gone HOSTED!!!
New village of Edan has been started. ( West of Dungeon 1 Exit)
2 New Baddies (Scorpion and Sand Crawler)
You can know "push" on doors to open them, instead of having to always grab them

MrOmega

12-01-2010 06:20 AM

Few more updates, I have dungeons 2-4 fully planned out. Targetting system has been intergrated with the majority of the objects on the OSL island and the Town of Gale, insides of the osl has been fully intergrated. Will add the system to players sometime early next week. Also looking for some help, you can read about that on the hirings thread in Playerworld Openings.

MrOmega

12-02-2010 04:56 AM

Updates :

Replaced Closed with Lock-On.
- Locking onto the target now makes you always face the target with your shield up. Good for distance enemies. Also with Lock-On, you will be able to precisely cast a range magick attack.
Worked on some music
- Please Forum PM/Bug Stefan to increase Varia's download cap to 3MB, so the new stefs over 1MB can be heard by all people in .ogg/.mp3 formats
Added a clear logs Button to the F2 Log Window. Pushing it cleans all Log Tabs
When changing Varia Game Options, it now reports it to the appriate log, so you can verify the change. (eg. Setting the sound format to .Ogg, will tell you in the sound log tab that it has been changed successfully)
Cleaned Up and improved efficency in Targetting System script. (Currently runs at 0.0091656%)

MrOmega

12-02-2010 04:26 PM

I have released a beta targetting system. Some commands are incomplete/not working but other ones are done. I hope players can test it and player around with it and tell what can be improved.

Commands not completed

Attack
Lock-On

Other commands are mostly finished. Only thing left is to intergrate the targetting system with all the objects on Varia. Which is why I would like some NAT help is someone has the spare time.

Updated the sword system. Swing and spin is now fixed. You can press S rapidly and all you'll do is slash, when you hold S, you will swing and go into a charge pose. Right now you will remain stationary, I will work on movement while charging tomorrow. But when you release S you will spin.

Drakilor and I may of found a bug/issue between clients (Windows vs. Linux) It seems on linux, when you hold S it calls keydown/keyup, but on Windows when you hold S it calls keydown until you release S, which then it calls onkeyup, Deas if you could log on and test this, it would be greatly appreciated. Just tell me if you can charge or if you just rapidly slash. :])

Here's a vid of it.

I may require a mass reset here in the coming days, I will try to do as much as I can, so I don't have too.

Cubical

12-03-2010 04:27 AM

i'll log on and test it really quick
edit: i'm glitched in darkness, i'll log back on tomorrow

I like the sword charge but... That glitter effect GAH WHY?
