TailsSena Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hey, havin' troubles again. I have yet to learn good level design, anyone willing to help out. (Please do NOT point to the level collab, it confuses me) What I do have in Leafgreen is mostly flat terrain, no springs yet, going to add that. Also, something is wrong with the spike sensors, can anyone help with that? Details: You will only bounce back if you hit that corner not covered by red... But it always knows you got hit, and rings will fly. Red has "Traps" qualifier, and Black is an obstacle backdrop. The actual Spike sprite has no collision, it does nothing.

luksamuk Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Are you using an older version of Sonic Worlds, anyway? Tell me which one is if you aren't. If you're using your own engine, could you show me a screenie of your spikes code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Using an older build of World's Physics engine, that's it. gsoft called it SonicWorlds360Base(Sonic Build)... Yeah... I have no clue what version it's from. My guess is 1.0 So I guess beyond that it's my engine, with Homing attack ripped from BlazefileLP's '06 engine. As for the spike code... Yeah, I'm thinking it may just be too simple for MMF2 to handle, since it's kinda lame like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 You know, taking a look at your code, I figure that you're comparing for collision between the mask and the spike top. In the newest builds, the spikes are only one solid object; every sensor is configured to collide with it and stop Sonic. Except... if, for example, the Bottom Sensor is colliding with the spikes.This way, if you jump/fall over them, instead of stopping, you will get hurt. Anyway, configuring the app to check if the Bottom Sensor collided with the Spike Top Object might solve your problem. If you leave it comparing with the mask (the Green Big Ball), yeah, it will probably enter in contact with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time the main sensor has collided with the bad spike mask, the bottom sensor has picked-up the backdrop mask! I think I might know a quick, easy way to fix that.

TailsSena Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Okay, now I need help with Springs... Got my actives animated and such, but what now? Got some rudimentary events that don't work... Grrr... How come YSpeed doesn't affect as much as I thought?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 What did you exactly do, what doesn't exactly work, what are you aiming to do? If you're programming springs, remember to make them set the value "Ground" to 0, as well as set the YSpeed to whichever value you want (Negative for up; positive for down). This is not necessary for horizontal springs, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TailsSena Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yet another issue regarding springs... Up springs only bounce you up if you're holding "A"... (Or whatever you set it to) Check out the newest build in General Fangame Discussion to see what I mean. It's on page 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TailsSena Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Just mess with Mega Collection Music to make it sound like Advance in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Alright, someone with Music Remix/Editing skills (Betaman, I'm calling your name!), can you help me by HD-ifying these tracks, or telling me how with Audacity? I need them mostly for boss themes. Boss1 Boss2 Boss3 THANKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypersonic645 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 pfft... if you wanna "HD-ify" and remix 16-bit soundtracks, you gotta use something more than Audacity. You have to change the whole song and replace the instruments with real instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazefireLP Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 You need to get musical experience on your own, people can only teach you so much but one thing I recommend is FLStudio (FruityLoopsStudio) which is good for remastering anything really. Nobody here can or will teach you how to make music from absolute beginner. You could start by investigating whether you have natural rhythm or non. There are tutorials for FlStudio at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Oh thanks... Played Violin, but I guess that doesn't mean a whole lot, huh...? Guess all it means is I can read Violin/Piano sheet music, and have a fair sense of rhythm... EDIT: Only a demo, wow... Looks like I won't be doing much in the way of music...

Ristar Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 or you could use Reaper (http://www.reaper.fm/) which is cheap (£35). I swear by it, I record, mix and master all my music with it. It's not as "easy" to use as FL Studio but it has a lot more versatility and customization options. But basically, in order to make those tracks sound anything near to "HD", you're going to have to recreate them by ear. In all fairness, you're best off letting someone else take on such a big project because if you try to do this as your first experiment with making music you are going to fail hard. Whether you use Reaper, Cubase, Ableton, FL Studio, Sonar, ProTools or Logic it's going to take you at least 3-4 months just getting used to the interface never mind how to use a piano roll, using midi bends, programming synths, learning how to use samplers, how to use a groove engine, optimising your individual tracks, reverb and delay settings, sends and returns, mixing, mastering and more. (P.S. this is just my own opinion here, but I do not recommend FL Studio. I used to use it, but thanks to it's "easy" interface I developed quite a few bad habits. The "pattern" idea is all fine for repetetive techno tunes but it really restricts you doing anything else with it without a fight. My personal recommendations are Ableton Live and Reaper as they allow more flexibility and more room for creativity. Just sayin'.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
