Daok Team - Operation Untouchable -

[DaoK]

This will be the new board for the team development.

[stickman373]

I mean do you want animation bitblt for him walking left?

or do you want more animations for him going right like a typical mario style game will scroll?

:D

[stickman373]

a new bitblt is attached not sure it looks fluent enough or good enough for walkign i could try some different frames.?

[Sastraxi]

I don't know about your idea of fluent, but go here:

http://vbden.tripod.com/pics.htm

You'll see the guy with the black outline, when he is walking... 6 frames seems to be enough in this case, but your guy is a big bigger so I reccomend 9 - 12.

[DaoK]

Sastraxi is right, maybe we should have more image. Maybe 5 will be ok I do not want to many.

Sastraxi can you give us some hint about how to make out background ? I think it should be with title but I am not sure. Anyway, I have to go continue to study I will post a new version of the game in about 3-4 hours.

Daok

[Sastraxi]

Sastraxi can you give us some hint about how to make out background ? I think it should be with title but I am not sure.I'm not sure exactly what you mean... tiles? I tend to stick with 256-colour and do them in paint =).

[DaoK]

well the back image will be to big for 1 big file

[j2k]

What is 'Operation Untouchable'?

[DaoK]

Operation Untouchable is a game who will look like Duke Nukem 2d / Contra. We just started, it will be a great project to learn how to make game :)

[DaoK]

I cannot figure how to make fall the heros when he just walk out of a block !!!:mad: I will retry but now I had tryed for more than 1 hours without success so I am a little bored.

This is the project for the moment(The block procedure work perfectcly!!! :) :) )

[stickman373]

Okay Daok i will add more frames to the walking animations to make it look better hopefully.

:D

[DaoK]

OK thank you. After that I will add it to the project in mouvement ( after my training in the gym ).

I will be back in ~1 hours

[stickman373]

I got some stuff to do also but then i'll be back hopefully.;)

[stickman373]

And for those who didn't see the main screen graphic in the project request thread here it is.

:D :D :D

[DaoK]

I like that picture :)

[stickman373]

That's why i posted it. Hehe!

Gotta show it off.;) :D :D :D

Be nice to have a menu on top of it.

Like how duke nukem aand like quake has a menu over the game screen.:p

[stickman373]

Does this look any better?

I'm not sure how good i can get it with the frames provided.

:(

[stickman373]

I think i have it close to the best it can be with the frames i have to work with. I have 7 frames total but it looks better than before i think or hope.;) Posted Below.

Daok where are you?:rolleyes:

[DaoK]

I am here I have worked on the code and forget to come here sorry.

[stickman373]

No prob just want some feedback on the walking is it still bad looking?:confused:

[DaoK]

I just see the new bitblt :) Very nice. Tonight I will post all the work I have done, if you can add it to the game it will be very nice ;) Well lets try if you cannot I will try :)

[stickman373]

Okay i will try to add the bitblt walking to the game and then make a bitblt for jumping. Well see how easy it is to implement with the existing code you have done. :)

:D

[DaoK]

Take this code, THIS CODE DO NOT WORK if you want to test it go in the Mod1 and take of all the code after the comment ( after the else).

I will work on it tommorow.

This is the file :

[stickman373]

Okay i gtg for the night i'll add the walking tomorrow if i can and if that is okay. Cya later and great work!

:)

Looks like ya forgot the file!

[DaoK]

Crap it didn't attach... grr

[DaoK]

ok good tommorow you can do that and I will definitly solve the fall problem :)

[DaoK]

Here we go :) I have found how to block block :)

[stickman373]

Okay i'm trying to add the wlaking right in the game but not having much success yet...i'll go at it a bit longer then post anything if i have something. Otherwise it would be nice if you could give it a whirl :)

[DaoK]

I go eat then program 30 minutes on it then I will go to the Gym and come back :)

[stickman373]

30 min on what exactly ;)

[DaoK]

Well not really :) Here is 5pm55 and I will go to the gym at 6pm30.

I have a new problem for an unknown reason the speed jump very fast, well I will fix that before leaving :):)

[stickman373]

grrrr i still don't have any idea where to put the darn walk code.

[DaoK]

ok I go to the gym.

Here is a hint :D you need a rotation maybe a loop who will loop until the speedx <> 0. Well I can do it if you really do not see how to make it. I will upload the code when I will be back of the gym. You will see then it's better but not perfect.

ThingS to improve :

When you move to the left ( 2 sec ) and than you go right the speed will be over the limit (5).

WHen you fall you fall always to the ¦¤¢£@2 floor :) well it do not see like the jump other block and I didn't find why yet.

The distance between block have to be to a minimum of 2*varheros.width

Well

Cya in 1 hours...

[DaoK]

Well you can take a look here is the code...now I leave for real

[stickman373]

I've been trying that and also a loop when KD(vbkeyRight) = false but i haven't got him to walk yet. :(

[stickman373]

I will keep trying to work on it. Sorry i can't get it so far :( :(

[DaoK]

I am sure than you can find a way to do it :) Well if you do not find how to do it sometime just take a 5 min brake can give you an idea. If you really cannot think about how the background will be made .

[stickman373]

would you care to give it a try for a bit?

:D

[DaoK]

Sure

[DaoK]

I have found how to make it but I do not know why 2 images go black ! :(

[stickman373]

hmmm you have the right frames and code?

[DaoK]

Maybe it because the picturebox move?

[DaoK]

Do you want to see the code?

[DaoK]

Here is the zip

[stickman373]

sure why not :)

[stickman373]

Hmm that is odd. Looks a little fast also for walking,but that isn't the problem right now.

:rolleyes:

[DaoK]

:rolleyes:

What we do ?

[DaoK]

I just wake up an it's already the time of lunch. This afternoon I have to go buy new shoes than make homework, after go eat to grandmother house and I will come back :)

[stickman373]

Alright if I have some time i will work on some bitblt stuff or masking or something like that. See you later!:cool:

[DaoK]

I will work on the project late in this afternoon. I have so many homework grrrrrrr

[stickman373]

Yep homework sucks! BTW, is your friend going to join us or what?:D

[DaoK]

ok I am here, I do not know what he is doing but I will need to talk to him again about it.

[DaoK]

Dude the code you gace me do not work. It only change the animation but do not but transparence at the back.

Here is a screen shot and I will comment it.

http://vbforums.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=597826

The (1) is the prove than if we put something "black" for exemple the white at the back of the running guys still white :(

The (2) is a thing I did than each type I pressed ENTER key the picture move and I didnt see anything wrong. SO I do not understand why it do not work in the project. Anyway I think you should try to find how to make it transparent and I will try to make it work in the project.

Daok

[DaoK]

I forget to tell you than I have fixed all bug with the SpeedX variable all work.

[DaoK]

See that :

[DaoK]

Here is the picture than I forget to add.

[stickman373]

you didn't add the parts of the vb files that holds the picture info so the bitblt3 zip doesn't run properly.

I can do transparencies but when i did that first walk tutorial i didn't add it. So i will add it tonight then okay :)

[stickman373]

i have to mix the two together but here is the transparent part of the bitblt.:D

[stickman373]

Okay this should get it wokring totally i hope!:)

Although it takes the frames box color not the animation box color so that is probably bad right?:(

I'm gonna take a break for a bit right now.

[stickman373]

Sleep time see you later!:rolleyes:

[DaoK]

The first zip work well but the second still have a blue background I do not know why? :(

[DaoK]

Call BitBlt(Picture3.hDC, 0, 0, Picture2.Width, Picture2.Height, Picture2.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcPaint)

Call BitBlt(Picture3.hDC, 0, 0, Picture1.Width, Picture1.Height, Picture1.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcAnd)



I think it's blue because of that : Picture3.hDC

[DaoK]

I think it will work on a background with a multiple color ( I hope :D ) we should test it and we have to work to the mouvement part with the new code :)

Cya After school

[stickman373]

not sure it will work
It takes the color of the total frames box so if you change that blue to a different color it will go over.

[DaoK]

Why all game use Bitblt then ? :confused: :eek:

[stickman373]

i just think it's the way i coded it, i think there is a better way to accomplish it. :D because this might not work right!

[DaoK]

I feel sick so I will go to bed sorry I didnt work on the project but I really do not feel to work on it, I will tommorow.

[DaoK]

I will fix the fall problem for tommorow :)

[DaoK]

Have you worked on the Bitblt and masking thing :) ?

[stickman373]

not today btu i will get a better workign version soon i hope.:)

[DaoK]

cooOOOl :D

[DaoK]

I have solved the collision detection with all block. All work now. Now I need to find how to make a fall with the gravity thing ;)

[filburt1]

Gravitational acceleration = 9.80 meters/(second^2)

[DaoK]

ok i found a nice way to fall but each time the heros fall he fall to the floor and not to the object under him :mad: well I will continue to work on it. have you worked a little on the Bitblt ? :)

[DaoK]

Here is the screen shoot of a problem all the ZONE who have X red i where it the problem. All work until you go downstair of the block ( who is the top hight ). When we jump under the block that do not work and I do not know why :(

http://vbforums.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=606482

[DaoK]

Gravitational acceleration = 9.80 meters/(second^2) ^_- thank you but in the game my Const for my gravity is : 20 lol :) Well I use mu jumping code but only the last part so that do like a half jump...it look nice ;)

[DaoK]

Are you dead :)?

[stickman373]

I'm sorry i have had a lot of other things to do! Plz don't hurt me;)

I'll try to get back on track soon!:)

[DaoK]

It's ok I just wanted to know where you were to be sure you didnt let me alone :)

[stickman373]

Leave you alone, never! Who knows what would happen if you are alone.:D

[DaoK]

lol :D You so right :)

[DaoK]

This project is not closed it's only I have reformating my hard drive and I need to reinstall all so I put it on the ice for the next 3-4 days.

[DaoK]

Ok some news about the project, I will continue to work on it in about 5 days.

here is a link who can be usefull : BitBlt (http://vbden.tripod.com/articles/invmask.htm)

[DaoK]

OK, I will start to work on the project again :)

[DaoK]

Stiky Stiky where are you :)I am not modived without you :p

[stickman373]

LOL, :D :D :D

I'm here but have been a bit busy for the last week or two. Sorry!

I'll try to get back on track soon.:)

[DaoK]

Cooooooool now I will work on it to :) :) :)

[stickman373]

where do we stand on the progress?

what are the main focuses?

[DaoK]

I have some problem with the jumping thing, all work nice UNTIL i put two block one over an other.:(

[MoMad]

Hehe, DaoK, your sig is just soooo funny and its everywhere!! lol. I didnt understand this forum but it looks like everyone these days is off working hard on their new project :) So good to see this! Anyways, Ill be hanging around, hope you dont mind... I cant believe i still couldnt figgure out a simple problem i had with conversions like 4-5 months ago. Anyways, some of the problems you are facing can be solved like this:

1. make a "class" or "udt" for each object
2. make an array of those objects
3. loop through the array to do collisions etc...
but remember you dont want to do dumb looping, instead
do a smart loop like have each object check if there is something
to the left of it, and to the top of it. That way, you automatically
know whether things are colliding based on the objects.

Remember the best part of game programming: test, test, test, test, test and test untill you have whooped the whole game into shape!!

Best Regards,
MoMad

[DaoK]

Thx Momad but I have put that project for the moment on the ice :) But I will check for the array and smart loop :)
