zelda-like open source (art based)

some of you may remember my old rocky open source file...

i just updated it, here are the changes:

-the hitTest is 4 times shorter (so surely 4 times less cpu intensive)
-changed the previous character with the original link (so no more diagonal animations)
-added scrolling in a delimited area
-added automatic swapDepth method, compared to my old file where you had to do it manually (front/back)

surprisingly, it appears to be a little less smooth than my current RPG (i posted it several days ago, some of you tested it), i hope it's just with my machine ^^

also, that file is easier to learn than my old file...
the file is at the usual place; the link in my signature, section "flash files"

enjoy and post comments if you need to. thanks ^^
and happy new year (i was not here during several days)

So what is your current project?

some kind of RPG ^^
maybe (surely, because it was the initial idea) mixed with the ability to enter houses and play external flash games (your games for example).
you'll can also play with multiple characters that have different abilities (the engine is done)

if you want to try it out, i posted a thread called something like "my current project, speed test". some people prefered the scrolling version, so here i go for my first RPG with scrolling ^^
it will be mission based, so no great storyline, but a bunch of missions (some will be depending on your current character, like i said the engine is done) and a bunch of mini games... and a bunch of kilo octets to load all ^^

maybe take a look at the preview via my old thread and post your ideas...etc

thanks

(the scrolling is so much fatser with my RPG than the zelda open source... surely because the swap method is a bit different...? mmmhhh

Nice work marmotte as usual :). Keep it up

PS cant wait to see your new completed web site :)

thanks

i really hope that my new RPG project will be at least a half finished game ^^
the graphic part now is taking forever... damn, i wish the graphics could just appear during the night.

about my open source here, i'm not convinced by it... too slow for me. and the garbled graphics are not very good either. oh well...

sorry - i don´t have flash mx so i can´t take a look at your source files. is it tilebased?

well, the title of my thread is "zelda-like open source (art based)"
> so no, my open source is art based.
btw, there's a zelda tile based open source around here, more complete, made by mbenney

oh, sorry. i'll put up the file in flash 5 format (i thought i already did it in fact ^^)

update!

-attack ability
-graphics are no more garbled (link doesn't look distorded anymore)
-changed the graphics: now they are totally fideless to the original game
-speed increase, due to less swapDepthed graphics
-flash 5 compatible... ermmm

grab it in my little web site ^^

Um... might I ask where Link is in this .fla of yours...?

well...?
that's so strange, a guy told me through mail that the zelda file was still the old one, with rocky.
> the funny thing is, another guy downloaded the correct file some time before... (i know because he re-sent my the file with some little things new)

the new file is normally called "zelda_open_source.zip", and link is the playable character.

here's a screenshot of it:

No.. .I downloaded the right file. But when I opened it, there was not link. And there is not a trace of link in the library.

Maybe he is a wizard?

^^

so what is your file? is there a playable character? (rocky?)

Im having the same problem. No link. furthermore, a lot of your files make my comp freeze upon preview (swf). Any ideas?

-Tyler

edit// yeah, link isnt even in the Lib.

ok, i know what the problem is.
link is an attached MC, so when i created a new file and copied/paseted all, link was not pasted (because he wasn't on the stage)

wait ^^

? really? never had problems with comp freezing...

> i'll put the fixed file in several minutes (i'll have to re-implement link because the old file is deleted :-(

that could be because marmotte used fmx compressed swf
which i believe works only with the flash 6 player

here's the good file, finally!

btw, normally my files are in flash 5 format ^^

its good but the scrolling is really slow.

besides the original zelda was sliding not scrolling :)

i'm sad to hear the scrolling/sliding is slow...

i always test my stuff with my old mac (flash is supposed to be slower here), 400mhz... and if it slows down too much, then i work differently with the file.

in the present case, the zelda file is very smooth with me...

I don't know see what's wrong with it. Looks and runs great for me. I say its pretty good work.

Thanks
