[BETA] Aureus Dynasty (Again)

[Frag]

There's a lot more now. Everyone (the artist and the composers) is on vacation so I figure it's a good time for feedback. Purdy much half way there (I think).

Wow, looks great, scrolls smoothly. I like the menu you've set up for when you press the space bar.

Keep the updates coming!

[Frag]

Thanks.

No bugs? Suggestions?

damn, thats sick. did you use movieclips for each tile. i am interested in this tile engine, i am new to it.

another question. do you have to make the game screen small to allow for smooth scrolling?

[Frag]

No, but the director said the NES res is 256X240, so that's what I used.

The way my tile engine works (this may be the way everyone does it, I don't know) is I move the whole _root level like it is a camera:

code:

---

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

	this._x = -this.hero._x+stageWidth/2;

	this._y = -this.hero._y+stageHeight/2;

}

---

and after every move (since he "locks" to tiles) it calls a function to delete the previous row/colum and add a new one. For example if you moved down, when the hero reaches the new tile, the function will remove the top row of tiles and add a new row under.

I don't know how well I explained it but, good luck with it

[andross_88]

i never new you could do that. hmm. whenever i've tried to do something like that i would place movieclips in a larger movieclip on the stage and then i would move that larger movieclip, but it always made the comp go slow. i'll try your method. thanks.

[Frag]

Oh, but when you do that, for things you want to stay in the same place do this:

code:

---

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

        this._x = -this.hero._x+stageWidth/2;

        this._y = -this.hero._y+stageHeight/2;

this.menu._x = 50-this._x;

this.menu._y = 10-this._y;

}

---

Replace 50 with whatever x and 10 with the desired y.

Thats almost exactly how I did this (less complicated) racing game I am working on, except since the car cannot lock to the tile, I set an invisible m/c up in the center to generate the next road.

Honestly the part I want to see is the battl engine (or whatever you wanna call it THE FIGHTING). As I have never seen the game you are trying to create I have no idea what it is like. I just know that it isn't cold enough here and I want to move to eoh (just like the soilder) . !!!! EOH!!!!

[LittleRed]

very nice! - looking forward to seeing this complete!
