NightmareFelix

Hi, folks. I'm running into a bit of a scripting clash that I'm not entirely sure how to fix or what's causing it. I've been using Kellessdee's Dynamic Lighting script for ages, but in certain areas where I've got a lot of events there's tons of lag. So I added Near Fantastica's Anti-Lag script, and it works great. EXCEPT that there's something wrong in regards to refreshing the page while scrolling, and the dynamic lighting effects no longer scroll with their respective light sources, they just stay put on the screen.

Hollow Creek Stories: Felix's Nightmare After a lengthy development cycle and a strange sort of release purgatory, I finally present you with Black City Studios' flagship title, Hollow Creek Stories: Felix's Nightmare, now available to play for free in its full game format! What lies within? On the trail of a deadly serial killer, a small team of special investigators find themselves stranded and separated in a deserted estate that houses many dark secrets and dangers. Can they save the life of a lost child and solve the mystery, or will they become the next victims? And what will they learn about what their teammates will do to survive? You're not finished here yet... A single-character turn-based engine puts you alone against the horrors of the Weston Estate, with its complex puzzles, deadly monsters and long-forgotten secrets. A survival-horror structure makes you weigh gaining experience and clearing rooms against the threat of death or wasting your limited ammunition and health. Find out if you have what it takes to survive. I KNOW YOU To learn more about this game, more screenshots, character descriptions, and its finer details, check out the page under our Games tab right here at gdunlimited. I'll even link ya! http://www.gdunlimited.net/games/hollow-creek-stories-felixs-nightmare/home But for those of you who just want to cut straight to the meat of the game, DOWNLOAD IT HERE!!! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31107893/HCSFN.zip And thanks for reading. Any feedback, reviews, bug reports, etc. can be sent straight to me and will be greatly appreciated, or you can just ask questions or whatever right here in this thread.

I was just exploring and building a game page when I ran into some connection problems with my router. I'll finish that up before long. This site is really impressive these days! Thanks for warm welcomes!

Hi there. Most of you probably don't remember me. In fact none of you probably remember me. I was last on this site maybe 2.5-3 years ago, just around the time it changed from rmxpunlimited to gdunlimited. I'm stopping back in because about a year ago I finally finished the rmxp project I took five years to make, and I wanted to drop in, share the project, and talk RPG Maker. I've finally gotten VX Ace and haven't quite decided if I want to stick to RMXP for the sequel to my project or not, and a lot of my scripting and events knowledge is incredibly rusty, so I figured if I need to discuss that sort of thing, why not come back to the community that helped me so much in the first place? In the wake of finishing a big project, I'm sitting around WANTING to build games but lacking a bit of direction. The game I was creating was a survival horror title, and I got RIDICULOUSLY great help in very large amounts from so many people here both on the forums and on the chat room, all of whom are actually thanked in the credits of my game since I took a note down every time someone helped me. So if you've been around awhile you might be there. But this threat isn't about my game (that's for another part of the forum), it's about me saying hi again, reintroducing myself, and making sure you all know that I came back here because this is one of the single most helpful and friendly communities to which I have ever belonged, and I'm just not half the game maker I could be without you guys and your support!

Well, I'm going to start lurking it whenever I'm online. For funs!

Dude. 3 freaking lines. Thank you so much. I really don't know why I didn't think about Input.update.

Below is a chunk of my "Scene_Title" page. I have added this just under the creation of everything in the Scene_Title class and before the Main Menu appears. This script is supposed to make 3 splash screens that fade in on an effect; (one for RMXP, one for my studio and one for Bon Ink) and they're supposed to be skippable by pressing the action key. But the skippability seems really inconsistent and I just can't figure it all out. Someone please read over it and tell me what I"m doing wrong. sprite = Sprite.new sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('rpg maker xp') Graphics.transition(50, "Graphics/Transitions/010-random02") count = 0 while count < 150 # 5 seconds break if Input.trigger?(Input::C) Graphics.update count += 1 end Graphics.freeze sprite.dispose # BGM $game_system.bgm_play($data_system.title_bgm) sprite = Sprite.new sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('blackcity1') Graphics.transition(50, "Graphics/Transitions/010-random02") count = 0 while count < 200 # 5 seconds break if Input.trigger?(Input::C) Graphics.update count += 1 end Graphics.freeze sprite.dispose sprite = Sprite.new sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('bonink') Graphics.transition(50, "Graphics/Transitions/010-random02") count = 0 while count < 200 # 5 seconds break if Input.trigger?(Input::C) Graphics.update count += 1 end Graphics.freeze sprite.dispose @sprite = Sprite.new @sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.title($data_system.title_name) Graphics.transition(50, "Graphics/Transitions/010-random02") s1 = "New Game" s2 = "Load Game" s3 = "Quit"

Hello. I am NightmareFelix. I make scary games. I will pressure you to be active in the chat, because that's the environment I remember in the golden days of this fair website and I consider it the best way to get help from the more experienced members.

There's a lot of types of ambient creepy music. I would need more background for what's needed to make some.

Mandanchi, you are speaking my language.

I mean... RMXP, pretty much.

Where is the GDU chat full of people when I need scripting help, chances to show off, and people to banter with whilst I work? That chat used to be hoppin' back during the RMXPU days.

I'm doing some finishing touches on my own project, but it's not enough, really, and my next big thing is kinda in the brewing stages. So... if anyone has a map they need finished, or a cutscene or some other triggers made, database editing, or even a song composed... I'm kinda on a work binge today. Throw it at me, I'd love to see if I can help.

I didn't see that written in the instructions, but now that I've gone back and done that, a lot of things that looked thoroughly unconnected to that are no longer producing errors and I'm way happier with it. Thanks.

I'm having huge issues with each of these. That nice short one is my favorite, but I can't quite get the step timing to be right. I created a dash button and the character walks at 3 and runs at 4. The very last one I've tried before and can't stop it from giving me a lot of errors. Every time I fix one another turns up.

XP. The only reason I said that about it having so much is that I only got this to try to get a cat follower and here I am dealing with auto font installers.

I got some sort of an error about the auto font installer from trying to run this demo. It's clearly impressive, but it's also very clear to me that there's about twenty times more in this than what I'm looking for.

All I want is the ability to create footstep sounds based on terrain tags. One noise when the player steps on each tile, and that noise differing depending on what terrain tag is used on the tile. I would like for tiles with 0 to all have one default footstep, then be able to add new ones for each of the other terrain tags. For example, my terrain "1" is shallow water, so I'll throw in little splashy noises. Okay, too much info. I'll handle the noises, could someone just help me make the most simple script to do that possible? I'm doing it right now with events, and it's a humongous, disorganized clutter that's causing me to lose my actual events in a forest of shallow water noise events.

That changes the entire sprite's opacity. Is that how bushes have always worked?

Sounds like my country at least. I don't think it should be illegal, but I do think any site that focuses on it should have a section of the site where each girl explains on video that she is a model, performing voluntarily.

Kell, I'm starting to think you created RMXP. Oh, should that just go in its own script?

I don't know about walking outside naked, Jon. Reminds me of this Vandals song that says if you think you're free, try walking into a deli and urinating on the cheese. Theres a huge difference between freedom and anarchy. Nakedness has apparently offended people since Genesis was written, and it's been reinforced by the fact that people who run across soccer fields in the buff or stumble out of bars with their pants around their ankles usually, at least here in the States, aren't people most folks really want to see naked, and thats generally why public acceptance of public dangliness hasn't... erm... Gone up. I used to not believe people were so influenced by what they watched, until I really started watching them. Until I noticed that women who listen to country music are now more proud to act like rednecks and destroy someone's car because they got cheated on than they've ever been in another generation. Why is that relevant? Because country music females in my generation song about taking their ex's stuff or in a LOT of songs, beating them up or killing them, for cheating. Women start believing that just because the law doesn't like it doesn't mean it isn't the right way to feel or act. I feel like half the reason they're being cheated on in the first place is the images in popular music. We have crappy alt rock bands like Hinder who elevate cheating to be dramatic or, in their case, calling the "other" girl an angel. Angels don't become homewreckers. Then we have hip hop, which, in its mainstream incarnation, in my opinion has idolized all the wrong things since the 90s, in just the right way to basically keep blacks from ever moving up in the social ladder. They're encouraged to spend all money right now on flashy cars and swag, encouraged to survive on huge music dreams or nothing, and encouraged to have a self image oriented toward gang life just to believe they've been "through it all" by the time they're sixteen, and since theres no incentive or message to make it through life the conventional way, graduating high school becomes less important/likely. And yes, I feel like the media people are exposed to is directly responsible for influencing these behaviors. So throw rape porn on top of Fifty Shades of Gray and you've got one great big American ideal that while rape is still illegal, it's just the way you are, and it's only illegal because the man is keeping you down. I don't know how it works in you guys' necks of the woods, but if I know my country and how bad we are at stuff, that's fairly accurate.
