Good news, Faraz. I've installed the 3rd demo. :)

THANK GOD...I mean...THANK TRIPOD! (Take that, Plasma :cool:)

I got a fatal error and the program terminated itself right after the first dialogue... :confused:

That must be your computer.

That must be your computer.
Sure... let's just assume the problem is with my compoter instead of the program...
I bet you didn't test your little game with others OS but Windows XP or something, did you?... :rolleyes:

Anyways, by your last message i must assume you're not very willingly to know whats happening or even try to fix it...so...good luck with it... or w/e ;)

yay!

are your really going to make teamalpha2?

First of all, Calm down! If nobody else got the error but you, then it must your computer. It's common sense, which is clearly something you don't have. You also told me what happened. "Fatal Error". Don't you remember anything?:-/

yay!

are your really going to make teamalpha2?
I appericiate your eagerness. With enough support, I hope to make TA2.

Nice Demo, it worked now.

Umm... Faraz,
In my old avatar (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30087282/), you do know that the metal object at the side of the head was the shapeshifting hand, right?

Uh...Oh...
It looked alot like an accessory on your head soo...:-/ :-/ :-/ :confused: Sorry!

EDIT: Plasma and I chatted on MSN, and we agreed that the wierd thing on Plasma's head is a communicator that's used to channel his 'lord'.

About the 4th demo. Would this be the final demo before the actual game? I'm curious. :-/

About the 4th demo. Would this be the final demo before the actual game? I'm curious. :-/
Yes, I think the 4th Demo would be the final before the First Version of the game (V. 1.0.0) is released, since I don't want to give too much away. I think I'll probably release once I get to the part where you enter Alien King's lair. By that time, you would've done all of this:
- Killed Plasma
- Killed Plasma's Boss
- Killed Tactica (You'll know who he is soon)
- Found The Glove of Power (Mentioned in Mission 07 By Iguana)
- Killed **CONFIDENTIAL** (...:) )
- Found Alien King's Lair. (After Searching, Of Course)

Then you go onto:
- Find AK
- Kill AK
- Retrieve **CONFIDENTIAL** From AK
- Kill **CONFIDENTIAL**
- **CONFIDENTIAL** Activates **CONFIDENTIAL**
- **CONFIDENTIAL**

Of Course, These are all general. The **CONFIDENTIAL** Parts are already planned but I'm not revealing any more information other than **CONFIDENTIAL**.
HINT: The guy at the end of Demo 3 is somewhere in there, and he's NOT Tactica.

- Killed Plasma
That dont sound too good...
- Killed Plasma's Boss
You mean I wont get paid for doing my job in this game?

Kill AK

damn

i didn't live long did i

anyway, the demo seems good but the passwords don't seem to be working

edit: turns out it's just because you spelt thief wrong

and chase doesn't even exist as a password

alright is spelt with only one L too

and please get rid of the transition effects between screens. it's irritating

That dont sound too good...

Actually, The AK mentioned in the list and the **CONFIDENTIAL** after it are connected in a way so you're not killed.

Yes, I forgot to put the password for "Manhatten Project". But I already fixed that right after I put the demo out.

What's wrong with the transitions?

PASSWORD PROBLEMS:
Only enter passwords once you're at least 4 seconds into the game. That should fix the problems with the passwords not working.

I'm onto Mission 09 now. It's a big rescue mission.

What's wrong with the transitions?

1. they look cheap

2. they get tedious very quickly as it means unnecessary waiting

4. no sound plays

What's wrong with the transitions?
They're very irritating, and shows that you didnt make them to suit the game.
PASSWORD PROBLEMS:

That's another problem with the transitions.

And the bad gun rotation thing is fairly annoying me now. It's a very easy bug to solve, presuming that you are good at solving logic problems. Otherwise, you haven't really got what it takes to be a good programmer.

They're faster and stronger. The Overheat meter at the top-right also has a smaller maximum, which means that you overheat faster. And to top it off, the goal is further than it was in Mission 03.in my opinion, they are faster and weaker, the overheat meter is longer, and the goal is shorter.

also, "voilent beast" is still there:p

They might be annoying, but the game actually loads while it's in transitions. If you don't like them, then you're going to have a white screen for a couple of seconds.

Maybe you're just too good ;)

I've already used the sprite for violent beast too many times so I can't change it.

Taking the lazy route to making this game, eh?

Taking the lazy route to making this game, eh?
The game system is handeled differently than Game Maker. Once you use a sprite and change it in one level, you must change it in all the other levels as well, which is a real pain. Trust me, it is. I'm working hard on the rotation currently. As I mentioned before, I have to copy the events associated with it and paste it in every other battle, not to mention change the color of the hand for some of them.

I was aware of that, and is why I said 'the lazy route'.

I'll get around to it eventually. Just not now.

Well, Here's a little proggress report:

The actual game and the levels are progressing very slowly, since I've been attempting to fix all the glitches and haven't had any time to work on the missions. I fixed everything that comes to mind, except the hand graphic glitch. Sorry, Plasma, no matter how hard I tried to tinker with the program's source, it still wouldn't work. But hopefully, Demo 4 (Final) will be released and then the actual game. I'm currently working on a new menu, by the way. I'm going to give it a bit more buzz If you know what I mean.

So, you're getting rid of the current menu style for a much better one? Sounds spiffing. :)

Anyway, try your best on getting it done. Good luck. ;)

Sorry, Plasma, no matter how hard I tried to tinker with the program's source, it still wouldn't work.
*Sigh*
Fine, I'll do it for you!


First, you need two sprites, preferably in the same gif (demonstration):
27337

Then it's simple coding (in GML, step event):
//remember that, in GML, 0 degrees is the gun pointing left and 90 degrees is the gun pointing up

//if the point from object to crosshair is between 90 degrees and 270 degrees
if point_direction(x,y,Crosshair.x,Crosshair.y) > 90 and < 270
{
//changes sprite of object to second gun sprite
Image_single = 1
//ange of sprite = point from object to crosshair + 180 degrees
image_angle = point_direction(x,y,Crosshair.x,Crosshair.y) + 180
}

else
{
//changes sprite of object to first gun sprite
Image_single = 0
//ange of sprite = point from object to crosshair
image_angle = point_direction(x,y,Crosshair.x,Crosshair.y)
}

I know how to do it in GML. The coding is easy. But I use a different engine on TGF which doesn't allow me to do that.

Progress Report:
Well, Progress is slower than ever. I'm starting to lose interest because of the lack of public support. I mean, only 2 people post here: Kenny and Plasma. But, I made a promise that it would get finished, so I'm still working on it. If, at anytime, the topic dies, I'll be sure to ressurect it with some new info. But for now, I'm working on the rescue mission after which Iguana gets captured.

Don't worry, at least you're making more progress on the game, that's the main thing. Anyway, good luck again. ;)

BTW, will Aku ever be playable in the game?

1: Go to my topic, look at the last few pages, and note the people who posted. It's not actually that few people like the game, as I know a few forumers on MSN that do like it but didnt post.
2: There also isnt much to post about.

That's right, sorry but just because I don't post doesn't mean I'm not watching this. Don't give up, we may be lurking in the shadows, but we're still here.

I should've known that. :p
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the whole thing being completed, but it does take time.

Good luck (again)!

Damn, Kenny, you sure are into this!

Progress Report:
For the next mission, as I said before, Iguana gets captured by Tactica (Remember Him?). Kenny and Faraz have to go rescue him from Plasma's Boss' base. Since Plasma's boss is like one of those power-crazy scientists that creates those wierd but powerful things, there's a new stealth system for this level. All of the enemies have a POV (Point of View), and once you step into their view, they'll begin firing at you. Since they're mounted, you can escape by leaving their POV. This way, Team Alpha has to sneak past all of the guards and find Plasma's Boss, kill him, and rescue Iguana.

OFF-TOPIC: Tomorrow Never Dies!

Damn, Kenny, you sure are into this!
Let's just say that I can't help it, really. Or I'm not THAT desperate.

still slow, eh?
can't wait!

Wow! Haven't Posted here in a while!
I've been busy playing Worms 4: Mayhem! Man, that game is fun! Also, I've been playing alot of Civilization IV too. I started work on a couple of new flash projects, including a non-flash 3D-Animation movie based on my used-to-be-popular mod, Agent Jose. This one, though, doesn't follow the story of the original Agent Jose. Well enough about that! Let's get on with TA:

Added more stealth mechanics, including sound
Added extra objectives to the stealth level
Fixed a bunch of glitches (Hand Bug still not fixed)
Got some work done on the Redone menu
Removed the useless box with the weapon in it
Did some new sprites

That may seem like alot, but really it's not.

A week to be exact.

Anyway, onto TA itself. It's a pity the hand glitch is still there, but you're doing extremely well otherwise. :)

Keep it up. You're doing great. ;)

Woopsy! Looks like this slipped onto the second page!
Anyway, I'm working on some new stuff, and I've started work on the levels too! It's finally the last few levels. I've found some more glitches and fixed them as well.

It's dying! Oh No! But whatever. No big progress to report here. Just dropping by.

Just to let you know I'm still working on TA.;)

Good to hear, but not that much people are really replying about it at the moment. Only me, apparently. Probably when the 4th demo is done, they'll be a whole lot more replies, I hope. :)

In all honesty, I actually think that menu is horrible. Make the bars horizontal and not so in your face. Mabye just have long rectangular boxes.

No it doesn't. It makes it ugly and ineffecient. Style comes with smaller changes that are not hugely in your face. Buttons and bars do not go accross the screen.

Btw, does this TGF accept .dlls? It might help with some of your probs if it does.

I don't really like dealing with too many files at the same time. I usually encrypt them into the game before releasing, but I can't do that with dlls.

I don't think the menu is "A non-standard spelling of all right."

Yes. It was mainly pointing out the mistake you made.

TGF supports extensions though.

As for the gun-rotation thing, you should be able to just have the gun have two "animations" and switch between both depending on the gun's direction.

I think he meant "what happens when you do his suggestion?"

Oh, well, since I have to double all the code that the left gun uses, I do it for the right gun. But sometimes since I do the same actions for two objects, the program gets confused and glitches out. For example, if I put "If Mouse1 is pressed, create an object (0,-23) of gun 2 if gun facing right >1" Then I do the same code and sometimes it gets confused and shoots a second bullet going the other direction. There are also graphical issues with it.

NEW PLANS FOLLOWING TEAM ALPHA'S FINISH :eek:
I've came up with a concept for a Worms game that I wanna add on to. After Team Alpha's finish, I'm gonna work on this. This will be AFTER Team Alpha, so I can finish that up.

Worms: Crisis
I thought of the idea of bringing the "Kid's game" that is worms to a new level. The story is intense and the action is brutal. No more "bazookas" or "sheep." It's Desert Eagles and Uzi's. The story will be concrete, involving serious matters such as the Mafia, Murder, and such. Humour will be kept to a minimum. I'm planning a Point Blank type concept. You can be killed as easily as you can kill someone else. This will bring the kid's game of Worms to a more mature audience. Of course, I'm not destroying the entire Worms design that we fell in love with. Terrain destruction, strategy, and grenades are all back, plus a lot other things. Online Play and Hot Seat is all present.

This is a forum game. That means that forumers will be present, but instead of in the story, they will be in the multiplayer portion of the game. You start out with one or two sigworms, and you can unlock more. Every mission has a rating. If you get a (currently unset) high enough rating, you will unlock a certain sigworm of a senior and respected forum member. I decided not to add people who nobody's heard of and add only well-known forum members. The sigworms that you unlock will be available in Online/Hot Seat mode, and that mode only. The story characters are all original and are not available for Online/Hot Seat. Although unconfirmed, I might also add a simple "Create-A-Worm" program that is simply the poor man's sigworm unlock.

POSTER, POSTER, POSTER, POSTER, POSTER, POSTER!
I'd like to thank Iguana for ATTEMPTING to make better gore and blood. Although it wasn't used, He still tried and put his time into it. All of the content is orignial hand-drawn by yours truely.

Of course, I'm not destroying the entire Worms design that we fell in love with. Terrain destruction, strategy, and grenades are all back, plus a lot other things. Online Play and Hot Seat is all present.

This is a forum game. That means that forumers will be present, but instead of in the story, they will be in the multiplayer portion of the game. You start out with one or two sigworms, and you can unlock more. Every mission has a rating. If you get a (currently unset) high enough rating, you will unlock a certain sigworm of a senior and respected forum member. I decided not to add people who nobody's heard of and add only well-known forum members. The sigworms that you unlock will be available in Online/Hot Seat mode, and that mode only. The story characters are all original and are not available for Online/Hot Seat. Although unconfirmed, I might also add a simple "Create-A-Worm" program that is simply the poor man's sigworm unlock.
So in other words, it's gonna be the same as your current game, except with no humour, more features, and more blood?

And I will not give you permission to be allowed to use my character! I refuse to support a fangame that's based entirely around changing a game designed for all ages into a game depending on gore and blood being the best thing that goes into a computer game?

First of all, the focus isn't gore and blood here. It's the story, the multiplayer, the character development, etc...

Second of all, It's not going to be the same as TA. It'll be completly different. Different sprites, different concept, etc...

So, you're basically planning an entirely different game before you even get your first one done? That'll get you far...

NEW PLANS FOLLOWING TEAM ALPHA'S FINISH
I've came up with a concept for a Worms game that I wanna add on to. After Team Alpha's finish, I'm gonna work on this. This will be AFTER Team Alpha, so I can finish that up.
...:rolleyes:
I haven't even got started on the new one because I'm finishing TA. The only thing I've done is the poster and that's it. Oh and speaking of which, NEW SCREENSHOT!

This time, Kenny and I infiltrate Plasma's Boss' lair and try to rescue Iguana. This is the begining of the one-before-the-last chapter in TA. Chapters are basicly locales. Like Thailand was a chapter, and Manhatten was a chapter. You can see that the enemies have sight. This is because it's a stealth mission. You have to get to the end without raising the alarm, which is activated when you're in the sight of the enemies. You also walk slower because of, again, the stealth system.

So that's the reason why your worm's wearing some sort-of stealth-suit. I was just about to say what's with the suit, but there's no need. :)

It's actualy just vision. It helps you sneak better because you know when your enemies are gonna see you.

That would depend. If he's making games so that he can play them later, then it's a bad thing to start a secpnd game. However, if he's making games because it's fun to make games, or for practice, then it could be a good thing.

I just make games for fun and/or as a hobby. Not entirely for practice, but I do learn along the way.

I'm just saying that usually it's good practice to only start to plan your next project when you're done with your current one.

Team Alpha is nearing finish so I thought it was about time. ;) Plus Worms is my favorite subjects to make fangames based on. :eek:

HA. I think of tons of projects before I even possess the MEANS to work on them. :p

HA. I think of tons of projects before I even possess the MEANS to work on them. :p
Lol Nice.

I just finished Mission 09. Moving onto Mission 10: Moonraker! I also plan a big cinematic video for the final cutscene. :eek:

Also, I might scrap Demo 4 and work on the other parts of the multiplayer and the tutorial for about a month and release it as the full game.

EDIT: Also, Alien King and Tactica have been shown for the first time, not to mention that THE MASTERMIND'S IDENTITY IS REVEALED!!:eek::eek: All I can say is...it will be surprising! Other apearances include Tactica, the purple guy at the end of Demo 3 and the Glove of Power, plus a brief apearence by the zombies from Thailand, as their true identity is revealed, and the Diamond makes a return :o

EDIT 2: EVERYONE! THE SPACE SCIENTIST POSITION IS NOW OPEN!! CLAIM IT BEFORE IT'S GONE! This is because Horrigan has been inactive for a long time.

I suggest using Snoozy, 'coz he has a jetpack. :p
Mine isn't appropriate. I don't know what I'm posting. :p

I thought SupSuper was gonna claim it, but I was wrong! Hehe.

OK your worm is a Mr. Game & Watch worm. So basicly I should just draw a black and white worm, right?

I'll stay out of your project, thank you very much.

edit: I haven't read through this thread in its entirety, but has anyone pointed out that the Taliban are very different to Kamikaze pilots in many respects? I may be getting confused here but it seems you're saying the evil zombies are both. That's a bit, erm, wrong.

Sorry, Vader, Shockdude took the last part. Last year when I was first making this (Not this thread, the old one) You were actually in it :eek:. I pulled you out at the last second for this because you were so inactive. Don't worry though; I destroyed the spot with you, so nobody can take your place :). But glad to see you're back

As with the taliban/zombie army, this will all be revealed in Mission 09 which I completed 2 days ago, along with alot of other things. No, the pilots aren't the kamikaziers. They belong to the Mastermind. (A.K.A Plasma's Boss)

I thought you might find this screenshot interesting, though.

How on earth did your worm get into solid land?

Wait, am I gonna die twice?
You never died once.

How on earth did your worm get into solid land?
If you play the whole level, you'll see that there's a ladder sticking into the ground that you can climb into and I used a transparent rock tile to illistrate the fact that you're underground.

Wait, am I gonna die twice?
Actually, your worm never died earlier in the game.

First, your worm gets knocked out when losing to WormOfFire in the skies of Thailand, and managed to escape. Then your worm gets beaten again, this time by Iguana in Manhattan, but made a rather quick recovery from the battle, and escaped with the diamond.

Short answer: No.

OMG!!! Somebody's been playing the demo....:p
Hehehehe, but thanks for bumping the topic. I was gonna do it today but I see you already did. Next time, I better offer some extra discussion when I post.

So, you guys think I should end on The Mastermind's base or in Alien King's hideout? Note that AK's Hideout will take some time.

Wait! What's this, a fangame? Damn, I should check this forum more often.

It's been going on since January too...

I've been mildly noticing this every time I come on here, but never actually bothered to see, or indeed cared, what it is. Now I'm annoyed.

Same here, I feel so sad.

My fault really. I really should've included Fangame in the title. Meh, I'll include it in the next one (Read the bottom of the last page).

So any suggestions for where I should end? I have a good ending in mind if I end with Re--Mastermind's base.

To give you suggestions I might actually have to play the game, and since I do not have a part in the game I really cannot be bothered.

Umm...OK...?

The old-ass Team Alpha site get's a Flash Makeover! OMG!
Click here to visit! (http://farazparsa.tripod.com/teamalpha)

That's pretty smart, and I'm on the Home page, he-he. :D

Still smart, and it kinda resembles with the Worms Blast site. With moving from one section of the site to another, a different character appears. :)

Very smart indeed. Like the glow on AK's rod, or whatever it is.

Why am I mentioned in your site?

Because you post alot here. ;) Want me to take you off?

The sigworms aren't in any particular order, other than the order that I felt like doing them in. :p

I've never seen the site for WB. Then again, I never liked WB.

That was pretty easy to do and it isn't that special. ;) Looks like you like the site very much.

Nice stuff, but the demo thing on that site doesn't work for me.

EDIT: Works fine for me.

Meh, problem my end then.

I might have to find a new host sooner or later, so I'll host it on a better site. Prefarably one that's easy and fast. Probably Google Pages.

Hold on there! There's something missing from my worm's bandana.

Oh! I forgot the knot at the end! I'll be sure to fix that when I update the site again.

OMG WTF IS THIS?

Yay! Finaly finished the cutscene! About 1:15 minutes long. Took about 6 hours to make, not long. Everything is hand-animated. I took a more James Bond-ish approach towards the scene, with a comical entrance. And you can't have a comical entrance without the proper music, so I used a remix of the 007 theme I got from a friend. It's two actually. And the music actually blends into the entrance and other stuff.

You know, I have no idea if I am in this, as I cannot play it.
I think that I asked to be in, but I dunno.
Funny how things turn out.

Keep up the good work, I assume.

I finally downloaded and played the demo today.

It was alright, I suppose.

Would that be the same for Zshowski?

You guessed it! :o.

A few days ago I learned how to program a proper level editor...Too bad I can't use it in TA since I already mapped it. I should be able to implement it in Crisis, though, and since they're about 6 KB, they can be easily downloaded from servers.

Yes I know I already finished the cutscene, but since I'm working on a driving engine (HINT HINT) there's nothing to show.

I finished a destructible terrain engine and I'm applying it to the levels in which you control the following:

It is deliberately in squares because it is the Pixeltron. Also, you can see Cisken in there. You'll have to beat him first to get his vehicle. Then you can go on a rampage crushing everything! OMG! The cameflauge is there because it's originaly Cisken's.

PS: JPGs messed it up. Sorry.

Can't wait Faraz.

It's a lean, mean, Alpha crushing machine. And Cisken ,the lean, mean cigar-smoking machine, means business.

I guess you know what I mean.;)

Anyway, it looks good, even though it is pixelated. :)

1...2...3...3 Means! :o

Also, the whole point is that it's pixelated, just like those old NES games. Or maybe you mean pixelated as in quality-related. That would be the crappy JPG that messed up the size.

PS: Fixed some leaks and stuff on the Pixeltron. Didn't update the pic though.
PS2: How would you guys feel about giving it little cannons to shoot rockets? :o Overpowerd?

Depends on what the Pixelator's up against.

?

I tried the 3rd demo,and on the second battle when i have killed both worms it says game over and i have to start over...

Never mind that

I know that you did old wallpapers in the other TA thread, would you be able to do new ones, with those new worm styles?

Just wondering. :)

Depends on what the Pixelator's up against.
Iguana and Kenny. Preferably, just one of them, since you can only play one at a time.
Never mind that
Allrighty then...Do you see yourself in the pic? :p

Also i like bikes in real life too...that cutscene will probably be cool...heh

There's also a mission where you ride the bike too.

PS: So how about those shoulder cannons? Should I put 'em there?

No ?

Also i like bikes in real life too
You just made a new friend... i should run if i was you XD

No shoulder cannons, one minigun on the back.

Wouldn't that mess up the whole Konami feel of it?

For noobs:
Konami's bosses always have a weak spot at the back which flashes when shot. :p

Hmm. Question. Why don't you concentrate on realising the full game, rather than a small set of demo's all the time? Normally games only release demo's during the final beta stage.

well, what if he shoots his tire?

Mind that the 4th Demo will be the last demo that Faraz will do (or is currently doing) before he finishes the actual game. Keep that in mind.

Okay so no shoulder-cannons. hmm...Let's see what it has so far:
Pixeltron:
Machine gun mounted on both "hands"
Rocket launcher on both "hands" (Alternate fire; runs out of ammo)
Crushing feet. (Walk on small items and SPLAT!)

I think it needs a more distinquishing feature. Ideas?

LOL Good point. In the meanwhile, take a look at these little models i made in my spare time. I didn't have enough blocks to make a proper worm, but I did have enough blue to make Kenny:

NEWS N STUFF
Still trying to get the freaking AVI working.

Does conaman ever read the rest of the thread?

Anyway, you're taking your sweet time getting this 4th demo done, if it isn't for your AVI.

Good luck, dude. ;)

Took me a long time to reply again!

No no, I finished the AVI a long time ago. I'm just trying to get it to work in the damn game. >_<

Does TGF even support AVIs? I thought it only took FLI/FLC crap.

Thank god for Extentions eh? :o

Well if you're using extensions, I don't see why you're running into so much trouble. :p

I've abandoned TGF long ago anyways, MMF/MMF2 are much better.

I wanted to try some things out and see which is more for me and I guess this isn't. ;)

Let's all thank Blood Money for being so addictive. :rolleyes:

Yay! I have my internet back!
The good news is that I got the AVI working!
The bad news is that it doesn't have audio. :-/
The other good news is that I got MMF2!
The other bad news is that it doesn't except TGF Files. :(

Yay! I have my internet back!
Oh my god! Run!

If you got no sound with your AVI files i think you need a better codec, i had it once then i downloaded some random codec found on the internet and it worked.

Rofl, I use the best; DivX/Xvid. That's why it wouldn't show up before. Yeah I'll browse around www.codecs.com or something.

The other bad news is that it doesn't except TGF Files. :(Umm, yes it does. MMF2 even opens as old as Klik & Play files. Just make sure you're selecting Open and not Open Project.

Rofl, I use the best; DivX/Xvid. That's why it wouldn't show up before. Yeah I'll browse around www.codecs.com or something.DivX/Xvid are video codecs, not audio codecs.

DivX/Xvid are video codecs, not audio codecs.
IIRC AVI is a Video File.

IIRC AVI is a Video File.AVIs are Audio Video Interleaves. They're connected but they work separate (thus why sometimes videos don't play audio or go off-sync), so he'll need both a codec for the video stream and a codec for the audio stream.

yeah i know, or just convert the AVI to an AVI file with an MP3 sounds thingy thing.... yeah... ok. Because IIRC almost every computer can play MP3's...

Playing MP3's requires a bass.dll which is, approximatly, 20 megs. X_X (TGF btw)

Oh, BTW SupSuper, I tried to open the TGF File but it wouldn't work. I think there's something wrong with my copy. It's been acting really strange since I got it (i.e it's a little untidy; windows are wierd, etc...) I'm trying some CS.

Maybe you have MMF2 Developer, since it's the only one I haven't tried myself.

And moving from TGF to MMF2 is a big change, but it still works like before, only with a revamped interface.

...
ah, still busy
i hope

Yeah it'll be a big move but right now I'm waiting for a reply from CS. I'm wondering, ATM, if I'll lose some of my stuff because of extensions or something else.

Ah, I finally tracked down the cause of the error. 'Seems that MMF2 thinks it's using a non-existant extension. Any ideas on how to fix something that doesn't exist? :p

Well if your game uses any TGF extensions that MMF2 doesn't have (or can't find), that would be the problem.

If they work on MMF2 too (or you can get versions of them that do), just copy them over to MMF2's Extensions folder and then it should all work fine.

If not, you'll have to remove said extensions from the game on TGF, import it to MMF2, and then put everything back together. (using other MMF2 extensions and what not)

So, how much longer will this take then? (I'm very patient) :)

Not sure but it won't be soon. Also SupSuper, I'm not using any extensions that MMF2 doesn't have. That's why it's non-existant.

You know...I'm thinking of dropping this...

Er... Why?

if you feel like it, go ahead, but at least post the (not-finshed) game!

There's no public interest (at all) so I feel it's just a waste of time and to the reason keep working on it is the million dollar question. (Lol Max Payne)

Also, looking back at the whole thing now, it's really crappy for my standards and if I'm gonna continue I feel like re-doing the engine.

No need to apologize. I kinda understand what you're getting at. The problem isn't nobody posting. I was talking to RenB the other day and he told me that if I keep something in development hell for too long, nobody's gonna want it anymore.

if I keep something in development hell for too long, nobody's gonna want it anymore.I think it's the other way around.. just look at Splapp's sigworminator, he kept us waiting for soo long and we wanted it even more!
Please keep going *kneels, begs*

The problem here is whether I should redo the game or just keep going with the current engine.

Well, if you REDO the game, with better graphics and such, we'll have something new to.. mhhh... wait for?! but just post some little things to make it look very exiting or something. myes. Just, whatever you do, DONT rush it! And keep up the good work.... myes, but its your own choice (did i spell that correct?)

Well...I could finish this on the current engine and then revamp it on a new engine...

Do that. :)

Depends. I would suggest finishing what you started and get the full experience. Then move on to doing something different or better.

Hmm...so you're saying I finish Team Alpha on the bad engine, and move onto something new with a better engine?

Bascially, yes.

yeh, make Worms: Half-Life on your new engine!!11 with Gordon Freeworm!

The only problem I'm seeing is that TA will be medicore when I finish it.

LOL Gordon Freeworm. Along with G-Worm, Eli Worm, Alyx Worm, Dr. Worm, and the Wormbine battle in Ravenworm, City 1337 and Nova Wormpekt. That'd be a fun little title, but it wouldn't be original. I was thinking a more Total Wormage war-torn style rather than W2-W4 comicy style.

how about an fps worms... no wai...

Nah, make a Metal Slug-like Worms (Metal Squirm ? :p )

no finally don't do that, it's MY future game project

Your game is funny, but it has been done with TGF, and TGF sucks !!! :eek: This stuff is for Windows 98, not XP.
and you need better sprites

Just out of interest, what are you using to code this? C++? Game Maker? etc.

Oh, and you're first post is adamant that this will get finished. Are you going to go back on your word? :)

He is using The Games Factory. (C++ ? Are you mad ? :eek: )

Yes. Woop woop woop.

Anyway, had I bothered to read the first post more carefully, I'd have noticed the part that says he's not using game maker. And C++ is one of the first languages that came to my head, which is why I mentioned it. That was probably a stupid idea too.

There's already one. Worms HL. Go try it. It sucks, but it's still worms.

I bought MG Anthology yesterday. It brings back alot of memories.
Yeah, the engine is VERY outdated. That's why I want to make a move to MMF2.
Oh, and you're first post is adamant that this will get finished. Are you going to go back on your word?
No. This has been going on since July '05 (Big 'blank' period in the middle). It was the first forum fangame but since I had camp it had to be put on hold and so on and so forth.
Yes. Woop woop woop.

Coding an entire engine from C++ would take AGES so I'm skipping on that.

Worms: Half Life?

Isn't Worms HL just a mod for Half Life ?

Heh, if you are still working on the game, maybe this would help. :)

I like it!

Me too! Looks great! I see you stuck yourself in there as well...lol.

They look awesome! If only I didn't have to redo everything to get it working in-game, I would totally use them! Major thumbs up! Perhaps you could help with the next project?

Anyway, I finally got TA working with MMF2. The only problem is that it's extremely glitched, and basically nothing works so...I'm kinda at a dead-end.

Those sprites are Great, _Kilburn, you just need to add my sigworm, and then its perfect.

The same as in your avatar?
