Blue Emerald Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 There's nothing to fix in the other one. Just change the global variable "GameMode" to 0. GameMode 999 is quick test, wich disables the titlecard Are you serious?? I would have never figured that out; of course, the name GameMode is kind of misleading. If I had known this sooner, this would have saved me a few good hours of experimenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had known this sooner, this would have saved me a few good hours of experimenting. Edit: Ah, no, there's not. Probably forgot to put it anyway. Since you guys have been using a RC, not a real release version, I would've put the game mode back to 0 in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem to make any difference, anyway; the title card still works the same with or without the GameMode variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Here's an beta/test SS stage. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WPCLTZN2 You need fifty rings to enter. 1.) Go down and you'll see a protection shield and speed shoe. Hit the blue button. 2.) Spin dash and break the walls. 3.) When you get to the top thing, jump on it. It lifts up then stops. If you have 50 rings. jump under it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Azu, you are awesome. And this is a cool idea for a Special Stage, too! I had fun trying this out. (I even added the Emerald sound effect to the stage for fun.) However, is it just me, or do the pinball flippers seem a little less "slippery?" It just seemed easier to roll around on the flippers. Was that intentional? Either way, I love this new addition. +Rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah, it's weird. I don't know why they are less slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Probably some conflicting code. That'd be my wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I bet it's because I have Sonic always rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Emerald Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I bet it's because I have Sonic always rolling. If that's what you have it set to do, that's most likely the case. Without that, Sonic should still be rolling all the time, since the flippers will force Sonic into a roll, and Sonic will always be jumping around in the stage anyway, so it renders the event obsolete. Would it be possible to post these inside a ZIP or RAR? For some reason my computer does not like downloading .MFAs as-is :S Are you sure it's not just your browser? Perhaps you'll be able to download it if you use a different browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael0505 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Lark was kind enough to host this on another couple sites for us. I made a site update announcing it.

Asuma Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I feel like a Sonic 3 2 Act thing. I just might do that. By the way, I suggest you guys make copies of your gimmicks objects and place them outside the level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbohog Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah I liked the whole layout to the side that was on the original Worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 @Azu: That won't really be effective unless you have a level editor to load the second act while at the end of the first. If you just try to make a huge level to fake them both together, more than likely many users will suffer from rages of mmf2 lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Really? I guess so. I know I wouldn't get lag, but I guess others would. So, what would you suggest? By the way. There's a rings bug that been bugging me. Somethings I get 10 rings, when there's a row of 14. Then there's times when I get 15, etc. It seems the faster you go, the less rings gets collected. Just notice the rings counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Dami and I have talked extensively about that issue. We basically came to the conclusion that MMF is a pile of junk and that any effort to fix that issue would come at a cost of massive cpu time.

Asuma Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ah. What about a 4x4-ish pixel in the middle of the player's mask? Edit: That seems that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damizean Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 It seems more like a problem with the magnetic shield to me. Plus, your 4x4 box isn't going to behave better than the 27x27 one. Edit: If you watch your own video you'll notice it. First, you have two problems there: a) The ring's initial direction vector (when they're affected by the magnetic field) is weird, it doesn't seem to point correctly to the player. Either you need to change the activation radius, or use other methods for detecting. The rings object is deactivated when outside the screen. If you haven't bothered on creating a new object for moving rings once they get magnetized, you're going to lose them once they get outside the screen boundaries. The only case scenario in wich a collision with a ring would skip is when Sonic surpasses the speed of 27 pixels per frame, wich is never going to happen, mostly because the engine is unstable when approaching a certain speed (therefore, that's why there's a speed cap).

Then there's times when I get 15, etc. It seems the faster you go, the less rings gets collected. I usually find that using an overlapping condition combined with a pick-one condition ( of the object you're collecting ) works better than the upon collision condition that's being used for ring detection.
