My Senior Project

Here is what I have so far for my physical project. Comments are welcome, and suggestions are needed. I dunno what else to add...

I get some err.

Line 41: Property Picture in picFight had an invalid file reference.
Line 82: Property Picture in picCharacter had an invalid file reference.
Line 128: Property Picture in picTiles had an invalid file reference.
Line 168: Property Picture in picSign had an invalid file reference.
Line 41: Property Picture in picFight had an invalid file reference.
Line 82: Property Picture in picCharacter had an invalid file reference.
Line 128: Property Picture in picTiles had an invalid file reference.
Line 168: Property Picture in picSign had an invalid file reference.

frmMain.log file ....

Just pop the pictures in where they should be (bigSign in Sign, Tiles in Tiles, etc...)

Here's a fixed MoveCharacter routine. Before, the character would move about 5-6 spaces until he stopped. This will make him only move one:

VB Code:

Private Sub MoveCharacter()
If SpeedCount Mod 3 = 0 Then
'move the character
If Key(vbKeyUp) = True Then
'move the character up on plain grass
Key(vbKeyUp) = False
If MapArray(uCharacter.x, uCharacter.y - 1) = "G" Then
    uCharacter.y = uCharacter.y - 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
    Exit Sub
End If
'move the character up and fight monster
If MapArray(uCharacter.x, uCharacter.y - 1) = "M" Then
    uCharacter.y = uCharacter.y - 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
End If
End If
If Key(vbKeyDown) = True Then
'move the character down on plain grass
Key(vbKeyDown) = False
If MapArray(uCharacter.x, uCharacter.y + 1) = "G" Then
    uCharacter.y = uCharacter.y + 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
    Exit Sub
End If
'move the character down and fight monster
If MapArray(uCharacter.x, uCharacter.y + 1) = "M" Then
    uCharacter.y = uCharacter.y + 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
    Key(vbKeyDown) = False
    picFight.ZOrder 0
    picFight.Visible = True
    picFight.SetFocus
    FightInit
End If
End If
If Key(vbKeyLeft) = True Then
'move the character left on plain grass
Key(vbKeyLeft) = False
If MapArray(uCharacter.x - 1, uCharacter.y) = "G" Then
    uCharacter.x = uCharacter.x - 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
    Exit Sub
End If
'move the character left and fight monster
If MapArray(uCharacter.x - 1, uCharacter.y) = "M" Then
    uCharacter.x = uCharacter.x - 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
End If
End If
If Key(vbKeyRight) = True Then
Key(vbKeyRight) = False
'move character right on plain grass
If MapArray(uCharacter.x + 1, uCharacter.y) = "G" Then
    uCharacter.x = uCharacter.x + 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
    Exit Sub
End If
'move the character right and fight monster
If MapArray(uCharacter.x + 1, uCharacter.y) = "M" Then
    uCharacter.x = uCharacter.x + 1
    BitBlt picGameArea.hDC, uCharacter.x * 32, uCharacter.y * 32, 32, 32, picCharacter.hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
    picGameArea.Refresh
End If
End If
 
'show information sign
If Key(13) = True And MapArray(uCharacter.x, uCharacter.y - 1) = "S" Then
    DoSign uCharacter.x, uCharacter.y - 1
    picSign.ZOrder 0
    picSign.Visible = True
    picSign.SetFocus
    Key(13) = False
End If
End If
 
End Sub

I made them false once they had been validated so they wouldn't be again.

Thanks Sastraxi. I knew I had to fix that, but I didn't think of that. I had the If SpeedCount Mod 3 = 0 going up in numbers to try to slow him down, but the way you mentioned works a lot better, and peet, do what sastraxi mentioned, put all the pictures back in their pictureboxes. I guess it got corrupted, or it lost the pictures along it's way across the big internet :).

Your FRX was referring to pictures that weren't there, although I thought they were STORED in the FRXes. Go figure.

I thought that too. At least I read that somewhere. Oh well, that's why I included the images, just incase something like that happened.
