LarkSS Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Finished my 15 pic puzzle pack: Download Instructions on how to set it up are in the zip folder. I can't wait until I'm able to share these through the Online option. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 OK, this is really annoying. You're game is running at an unplayable speed despite taking up absolutely no resources. I got it to run smooth before somehow, but every time I open it it screws up again and is running at like 5 FPS despite the timer, etc, going at normal speeds.. Edit: the main reason it's so annoying is because this is such a fun game. Just saying in case you'd take it the wrong way. ^^ Edit 2: Neat pack, LarkSS. Ironic, though, that the only one you had as "Free" was the only one that had multiple solutions. Granted, it was only the corners and there were only two possibilities, at the very end, so it was still simple enough. I really liked the Starcraft Wraith one. You should have made that one free.

Xtreme Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I just found out that this game isnt a new concept...nonographing is 22 years old! Still though, this game is flippin awesome! I haven't hidden it. I've said "you will recognize the concept". Many similar games exists on the net I believe that is incorrect. As a counter-example, I bring up the following puzzle:[qimg]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/kainsirusque/nemegraph.png[/qimg] When there are multiple solutions, 720 to be exact, so you can't complete the picture, it's simple. In the readme txt, I've said that I will add a feature to know if a picture is completable. In the Free mode, you can make hypothesis, okay, but in both modes, you won't fill the board at random ! It's as logic as Sudoku. For the slowdowns, I suggest to close every big application. It runs perfectly on many computers. EDIT: I've tested your pack, LarkSS, and I was very impressed. But I don't recommend to share a pack like this, because there are some values to be changed in other files... . On the other hand, please sort the pics by difficulty ( The Starcraft Wraith is quite hard, but it can be completed without guessing, so the Strict mode is appropriate ) As it is written in Readme txt, you'll be able to share a pack yourself in the future, but not right now. For the moment, use the connect button to send me the pictures, or send me directly an email because I need to test your pack before release it. Indeed, just only one picture have to be removed: it's winamp because there are 2 solutions. I'll edit it and your pack will be released as an official pack Thank you for your creativity.

LarkSS Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Edit 2: Neat pack, LarkSS. Ironic, though, that the only one you had as "Free" was the only one that had multiple solutions. Granted, it was only the corners and there were only two possibilities, at the very end, so it was still simple enough.I really liked the Starcraft Wraith one. You should have made that one free. Thanks for trying it out. =P The reason I made the one pic free was since it had 2 different solutions at the end. All the others on strict I tried myself and shouldn't be too hard if you figure it out, but can take awhile anyhow. Btw, not sure if it matters or anything, but I experience sudden slowdown after I place a certain amount of blocks on a big puzzle. I'd take it that the object limit was already increased though. =/ Edit: I changed the Starcraft Wraith pic to freemode, so I'll sort them, do something about the winamp one, and send you an email Xtreme. And thanks. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 And maybe you can add a music for your pack ( put a music file named LarkSS.muz in your folder ). Mods ( mod,it,xm...) and ogg runs fine ( the music must be less than 1 Mb ). Anyway, an update will be available in the next hours. EDIT: Beta03 is available. Use the online mode to download it ( 996Kb ). Tell me if the update was installed successfully. Beta 0.3: ->Some glitches fixed ->Updater improved ->English mistakes corrected ( thanks to Rogueyoshi ) ->The game runs smoother ( tell me Kain if it's better ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 The update installed great for me, though it changed the list.grp file to the default state. ( Meaning I had to put my pack info back into it. ) Good news though, it doesn't slow down at the title screen anymore. Trying to find a good bgm btw. I was wondering what that .muz file was. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Good to hear. I've changed list.grp because it needs to be clean if anyone wants to install your pack in the online mode ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Ah, in that case, I had no problems with the update then. =) I sent the updated pack in your pms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yea, the update seems to fix it, which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 The first pack is up. Enjoy 20 new pictures. Thanks to LarkSS If you have installed the pack before this date, please re-install Nemegraphe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I like some of the changes you did, though I'm confused as to why you seemed to rename one of the pics into something french. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyoshi Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 crap, i realized i over looked some stuff when i fixed the translation. ill send a pm with the stuff fixed. also, ill help with the readme too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Thanks again Rogueyoshi. I haven't noticed that mistake in the pack. It's fixed. If you want to download the pack again, download the full version of nemegraphe ( http://futuroueb.free.fr/files/nemegraphe.zip ). Then extract and replace Data/data.dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyoshi Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 ok i found a few bugs. i beat the starcraft wraith picture, but it still shows a ? sign on it. also, the number says 20/20 even though the wraith pic has the ? sign. in the edition menu, the music does not loop properly. after loading a game, the board does not show what lines are cleared until you place a box or a check. this also happens after performing a hypothesis. btw, good pack LarkSS. the wraith pic was particularly challenging.

LarkSS Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Whenever I click the Connect button to send a pic, it says "Cannot connect to the server" even though I can use Online Mode without any problems. And thanks for all the positive feedback on the pack. =) Perhaps some other time I can try to motivate myself to make another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Xtreme, good work with Nemegraphe. I found a bug in beta 0.2 (i didn't try 0.3 yet, so i don't know if it was solved) It is related to he bug that Rogueyoushi posted. I was playing with one of the pics from LarkSS, in the middle I saved the game. Later I continued, and when I beat the puzzle, the image in the selector was still ?. I had to replay the puzzle without saving to pass it. This only happens if you save. When you beat the puzzles without saving, there's no problem. Actually, it's the same bug that rogueyoshi posted, but I post this to complete information. The bug affects not only the wraith one. Great game, also I have a question. How do you make the little image that appears next to the pack's name in the selector? I mean the image of the palmtree in case of Pack LarkSS or the little T of the Tutorial Pack?

Xtreme Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thank you, and don't worry: this bug has been already reported in details by rogueyoshi and it will be solved with the beta 0.4. The little image is named tutoriel.icon or LarkSS.icon. It's just an active picture EDIT: beta 0.4 is out ! Important bug fixed ( save a game ) Fade in/out of numbers at loading the game fixed Connection to send a picture improved ( tell me if there is no error ) Music loop in edition mode fixed English mistakes corrected ( thanks to Rogueyoshi again ) I've also made a Nemegraphe forum: http://www.nemega.hyperphp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Sending a picture was successful now, and I can't seem to find any bugs at this point. =) Great job with the game Xtreme. I tend to play this a lot during the day now to pass the time even if I'm just doing the same puzzles over again. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Great ! I've just received 01 - Other.nmg I've found few bugs in edition mode so we're still in beta testing. Anyway, I will add 2 new feature in the next release: -> Possibility to load a bmp file inside the Img edition mode. -> Possibility to test a picture in the edition mode. And there will be a SAGE 2007 Pack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there will be a SAGE 2007 Pack... Actually, just now as I finished sending you some more pics, I found a few bugs too, but they seem pretty hard to recreate. Once, when I loaded a pic, the mini-pic at the top-right was blank until I went into image mode and then back. Also another time when I loaded a pic, the mini-pic was the color of the last color I used to edit instead of black. I'm not sure what could be the cause though since it doesn't happen every single time. Edit: Some of the pics I made were actually just real pictures that I took the time to recreate into nemegraphe. I thought it would be much easier if there was some kind of way to import the picture into nemegraphe without actually requiring the picture to go along with the puzzle. I gave it some thought and came up with a way to do this. http://larkss.supersanctuary.net/PublicFiles/PicToPixels.zip It basically goes along the picture retrieving RGB values and then transcribes them into objects. After it does that, you can use whatever method you used to save the positions and colors of the objects so they can be loaded later; like for example as it's converting the picture you can store the position and RGB values of each object into an array or something like that. If you already developed a method to do this, sorry. =/ I had some time to waste. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amesuki Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I've just downloaded the game, and I got to say it was very atticting. At first, I couldn't understand it, but now, once you do, you just love playing it. You really got some great talent, ^^. Twas worth the download. Keep it up, -Amesuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thank you Amesuki -> Possibility to load a bmp file inside the Img edition mode. If you already developed a method to do this, sorry. =/ I had some time to waste. =P Indeed, I've already implemented this function to Nemegraphe. It's similar to your method but simplier, and it takes only 4 events. Anyway, your tut is very well made, so well done, it can help a lot of people who wants to try overlay. Hope that this new function will help some people to make pics faster. I'm almost sure that the next release will be the 1.0 because I think there are no bug anymore. In that case, I will send the games to other websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
