rocky racoon version 0.4c !

everyone, i just updated my rocky's game to version 0.4c ^^

http://www.marmotte.levillage.org/rocky.html

what's new:
-the code is greatly rewritten. it took some time, but things seems to work great now
-two areas are graphically finished. but some are totally destructured for the moment. improvments to come.
-SAVE and LOAD feature. finally. how to save? it's not explained during the game, but you can do it in rocky's house, go talk to your plush.
what it saves: rubies, language, current location of rocky. of course, in the future, the save feature will save all the game status ^^
-new move: with the control key, you can slide. be carefull, you cannot attack an enemy with that move, but you can destroy bushes faster.
-random bushes graphics when you destroy them.

to come:
-enemies! no new ennemy in this release, exept for one, but you cannot fight him
-more complete SAVE and LOAD features.

of course, feedbacks are welcome.
oh, and is the save and load feature working?
thanks in advance...

are you able to save, refresh your browser and load your game?

looks better every time! and yes the saving and loading works fine. i also like the animation when you hit ctrl, is that new to this version?

He could but he ripped the graphics. I told him not to but he didn't listen.

I've been waiting for your nest version. I'm just waiting for it to load now.

VERY NICE..

I works with both loading and saving.

One "bug" I found was that I'm able to "find" the green ruby in the chest more than one time if I save the game and load it again.

Other than that great work!

yeah, i could reload and load my game. Keep it up.
dewman

The keys aren't working! :(
Do I need to download Flash Player 6?
If I do then will it overwrite 5? Only I'm not sure SWiSH is compatable with 6?

HELP!

humm what did you make it in Marmotte? MX or 5?
dewman

flash MX, because it is the only way to save and load.
as for the chest, i know you can open it again if you load your game (damn, you played that lot ^^).
i said in the first post what was saved in this release. the fact of opening the chest is not yet included in the save feature.

olly k, i listened to you! i have done a lot of games without ripping the graphics. this is my first game with ripped graphics...

But it keeps telling me to download 6. Aawwwwwwwwww!
Will MX overright 5?
Please say no! :(

olly k, I downloaded flash 6, and still have flash4, flash 5, and flash 6 players installed, each version automatically playing for the correct version that the file was created in. I don't know if it would work the same for you, so don't take my advice too seriosly, it may not work for you... I'm not sure, but I think it might be ok. Ask someone in another forum around here that would know for sure if it would work. Sorry I can't give you a concrete answer:(
dewman

look into your browser/plug-ins directory, the flash plug-in is here. you can remove or add the one you want. i work with mac, so maybe things are different for you. copy your current flash plug-in in another directory, where you'll store and also exchange flash plug-ins, and install the new one normally in your browser/plug-ins directory...

Oh.. there is my name... wow...!

Anyways, marmotte, I can start enhancing the translation, now that I see where it is in the game. I also have a few question...

How did you make the save option, what is the code for the begining?

Second, how did you make the language and text box work. What code is used to trigger the text box, and the file with the text?

Now, I better start improving my pethetic (compared to yours,mine ) version of my own game. lol.

oh, DethDesign, magnetos just took the english translation. he's going to do an italian translation, as well several enhancements to the english text... of course, your name will still be here, somewhere...
(i also did several enhancements myself)
what do you mean, code for the begining? i looked ed's tuts (cookie cruncher i think) and adapted the code to my game... it's really not that hard, hopefully ^^
for the text: when you hitTest a "text area" (example: in front of the blocked door), the code looks for the selected language (a simple variable) and load the correct array (french array, english array...).
was it your question? i looked "trigger" in a dictionnary, but it means nothing with your sentence...

The thing i love about your game is its so smooth and it has awesome attention to detail..

When I noticed the cows looked at you and the birds flying overhead I lost it! Its so awesome. Great job.

PS- I dunno if it was supposed to be a secret/hard to find area, but I saw the Knight enemy with the armor, he looked great ;)

the armored ennemy will be a boss. i haven't finished his AI, but when you try to attack him, or when you go right in front of him, he's protecting with it's shield. you can hit him with your tail, he'll be a little bit bouncing backwards, but always protecting his weak point. also, if you try to go up, he'll chase you like a fool. now i have to make him able to attack depending of the situation; he'll throw his sword in your direction! the slide feature will be used in that case, i think ^^
it will be up to you to discover how to defeat him... soon, maybe.

don't foget: tomorrow i'll go to holidays during two weeks...

Great looking stuff Marm.

One bug i found: In the screen with the treasure chest, if you kill the plant thing, destory the bush and go up, you get stuck and cant move :(

Good looking stuff though man :) very nice :) Where do you get those graphics from? They are very clean!

Ely_J3

great!! :)
put the game in a nice looking pop up window i believe it will will look better

I WANT YOUR COW!!

lol... its true though...
love the cow pics.

hey marmotte. nice improvements. i was wondering what script are u using to make the chickens walk around. looks good to me and i think i can fix up my AI if i see ur script

Sorry to bother you again Marmotte, this is my last question.

I have tried, and tried, but what is the code you use to load the external array into the game. Then who do you make the the text box appear with, lets say, Dialogues[20]?

DethDesign

to create an array from a text file

Code:

---

text="one-two-three-four-five-six"
theArray=text.split("-")
trace(theArray)

---

however i believe that shared objects were used instead!

hth

oh, zgeteddy ^^ you were very discreet these days.

chickens:
frame1: code:
value = random(16)+1;
timer = 0;
frame2>frame10: animation
chicken animation (walking for example)
frame10: code
timer += 1;
if (timer>=value) {
comportement = random(7)+1;
if (comportement == 1) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("StandUp");
} else if (comportement == 2) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("StandLeft");
} else if (comportement == 3) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("StandRight");
} else if (comportement == 4) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("MoveUp");
} else if (comportement == 5) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("MoveDown");
} else if (comportement == 6) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("MoveLeft");
} else if (comportement == 7) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("MoveRight");
}
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
^_parent is here the place were i put all chickens animations (stand left...etc)
do you see the thing?

ElyxiaElvenbright: annoying bug, yes... i'll take a look.

DethDesign: yeah, these cows are lovely ^^
for the dialog, when you press SPACE i call that function before the text appears:
function PopUpLoad() {
if (language == "french") {
#include "PopUpDialoguesFR.as"
} else if (language == "english") {
#include "PopUpDialoguesEN.as"
} else if (language == "italian") {
#include "PopUpDialoguesIT.as"
} else if (language == "german") {
#include "PopUpDialoguesGE.as"
} else if (language == "espanol") {
#include "PopUpDialoguesES.as"
}
}

improvements!

-italian language added, thanks to magnetos ^^ thanks, magnetos

-Save and Load feature more complete: now it saves the chest(s) thing, and checks if your tv is on or off ^^

-thanks to ElyxiaElvenbright (who posted the bug), i fixed the fact that you may be blocked when changing areas

Just too let you know, i found a bug. When you walk over the puddle and stop in the middle it still shows the animation of the racoon running in the puddle.

Looks kinda freaky... ;)

freaky ^^

you're right. simply because i changed the code of the "real" racoon, the reflection doesn't recognise the new code... i'll have to update it too... and make it shorter...

mmmh, maybe i can use that bug and do something special... like a reflection that acts differently depending on the situation? or maybe you'll have to fight your own reflection? waouh ^^

I think when you stop your reflection should stick its tongue out at you. That would be real nice...

we call it "evil reflection" ^^

You have done it again Marmotte, i think you have what it takes to make Zelda like Flash games like a pro. Please don't drop this project it's great. And if you ever have time make some tuts, you could make very good tuts with the experience you have. Always waiting for the best to come.

i'll have a german(deutsch) translation to you if I can get around to it...

-genesis f5

thanks ^^

to be honest, i don't have the feeling to be "good" enough to do tutorials. really... there are a lot of codes i don't understand... you know, if EdMack was doing the code of my game, it'll be surely far better AND far shorter...

what i'm doing is just playing with "easy" codes, that's all. and that's how i see things. but well, thanks for the compliment ^^

VERY interesting, rocket_genesis ^^

here's the english text:
http://www.marmotte.levillage.org/PopUpDialoguesEN.as

Could you post a link to a .txt or post all of the english in the game so I can translate is easier...

that would be very much appreciated, -genesis f5

lol, already have it, thanks :)

what is AS?

surely "action script". i read it's better to put that ending when we include files...

I did find one bug... ill try to duplicate it to see if I can do it again. It was in the area with the cows, and I was sliding all over the place testing out the slide, and I slid right into the the cows drinking trough. Then couldnt get out.

Nugget

Couldnt get it to happen again =/

"I was sliding all over the place testing out the slide"
did the cows smile while looking at you? ^^

i'll try to reproduce that bug too. maybe there were two cows involved...

i'm just putting up the new italian version...

for all translators: big thanks. maybe it's not the definitive version of the dialogs. if so, i'll call you ^^

amazing and I mean amazing :p

if its any help il do the emmm scotish translation :p

did'nt think so...

keep it up :)
