ge8 demo

i thank all of you great programmers for helping me over the years. I think I owe you a little status report on my rpg.

Status - ...still 50 billion years from being completed~! However, being on my 8th game engine, I've perfected a lot of the core coding, like graphics and tiling and such.

I threw together a quick demo of my basic game engine, and as a bonus, threw in my level editor as well~! I'd also like to appologize in advance for having to include my crappy, not-quite-finished tileset as a sample.

Don't usually touch an exe, but tonite i thought 'what the hey'.

Opened it, and it immediately quit. No errors, no nothing, just opened, screen went black, then back to desktop.

Hope this helps.

could you take a look at the log that may or may not have appeared on your desktop. if it crashed during a DD sub, it probably left a log.txt

be sure to take a look at the readme, also. i threw the demo together quickly, so it's not very generic - meaning there's a few things you have to do to make sure it runs correctly (save everything on c:\windows\desktop, save the map file as testmap)

Lol, my mistake. Didn't read the ReadMe.

Works great. No problems wotsoever. Looks great as well.

Havn't got time to test the editor now, got an assignment due in fer tomorow, and am struggling to finish it ;)

I'll have a look at it wen ive got time.

If it must be on Windows\Desktop, then I'm afraid I and many others will be unable to run it; Only 9x/ME stores it there. Other OS (such as Win2k/XP) store it in Documents And Settings. It ran, gave a ding sound, and turned grey- as if there was an error and directdraw ceased to have control of the form. Then i pressed Ctrl-Break and it threw me back to the desktop.

Nice one...I love it...Looks like one of the old Nintendo 8bit guys running around. Just a lot faster...love it....:)

Yer thats what happened to me. I'm runnin Win2k as well. I just created the folders myself and put the files in there.

I use WIn2K to. But saved it in windows/desktop...no problem at all

Nice, nice! And you got that character (or characters) off of RPGMaker 2k, I think...

ya, probably :D one of my friends sent a bunch of sprites to me one day, but i have no idea where he got them ;[

nice :)
