that's bad news you do not share a beta mantic ruins?

Doesn't matter. We'd have to have the engine to support water... X-O

Man, talk about your work going down the drain. 'SHOT'

Seriously dude, I'm sorry... that project was looking awesome. Too bad it had to go and be delayed like that...

how badly damaged? did you lose the files by deleting/overwriting them, or did your hdd crash? have you tried any file recovery software? i'm asking because there may still be a possibility to recover your stuff and save time.

that's too bad. sorry to hear that. It was looking awesome.

on the other hand, not everything is bad. A good side would be being able to use a newer version of the engine.

If I move the levels to the new engine is there a way to program the red rings, speedpads and such back in the game with the new object file?

Yes, you can make these and many more. From what I've seen on the videos, the only thing you can't do through scripting at this time is water. You'll need to hack the game if you want it, or stick with the old version.

So you're saying I could even make acid objects that take away 1 ring per quarter-second, and make the acid shield proof to this?

yes.

What about the 4-way pipe system (not the nodes)?

yes...

anything that is "simple enough" and that does not require advanced math, as this first version can't handle mathematical expressions.

I will make a new version (2.0) that do the game energy supports.
I'm going to do this in a different language so there is a linux version (and maybe Mac).
because I totally to start over with LC, this take a while.

Re: Sonic and the Magical Stone (9-10-2010) - Download Demo : )

reeeeeeeeeeeaally nice demo!

I really enjoy your level design. Spider Hill is the one I like the less. Wind Chime 1 is my favorite. The levels are diverse and not linear.

Too bad you lost many of your levels the other day. I'd love to play the full game. x_x

I'm not sure why do you use so many "loop" objects on areas where they aren't needed. Example:

These objects do nothing. Same about Jungle Jamboree: you have lots of loop objects where passable bricks would suffice. Since the loop objects are used to disable certain bricks, they may cause bugs if the player does not touch a "loop off". Luckily, for the new movement engine we're adopting a new, more intuitive system. The "loop" objects will be kept for backwards compatibility, but they will be deprecated.

The oil ocean barrel is fine, but wouldn't be nice if the corresponding bricks get their z-index increased, so the player would appear to be "inside" them?

I'm not sure if its a problem with the engine or my computer. Sometimes the title screen music doesn't play. Neither does the invincibility music or speed shoes song.

The only problems I've seen related to audio are when too many samples are being played, they get clipped out. The audio system needs some improvements, but I prefer to leave that to 0.2.0.

Also the spikes collision box should be tweaked.

How exactly? We found a small mistake in Jungle Jamboree:

You're using a brick that looks like a spike, but the brick by itself does nothing.

And um there is no way to change the speed and invincibility music is there? ^^u

Yes, by changing their respective files in musics/ . Perhaps we'll get a new invincibility song (by Di) to 0.1.4.

Still, your demo is so much fun. Congratulations again, wrath

I'm so glad you liked my levels. : )

Wind Chime is of my newer designs and the levels I was redoing follow that structure so its good then. Spider Hill has been revamped but I hope I can finish that later on.

As for the spikes, its just that, ok those aren't an error, I added the spike looking brick so I would use the danger tag on top of them instead of the included spikes but it didn't help. I find that its too easy to get hit by the spikes if you touch them from the side. That part in jungle jamboree if you spindash that wall to reach that secret area the spikes would hurt you. Sometimes I've been hurt by them by just walking next to them.

As for the loop tags. That's something I carried from the old versions I kinda forgot about the Z-index. so I would use those to make sonic get behind objects. ^^u

Also apparently the title screen music just doesn't play after ending the quest and returning to the title screen. A friend of mine tried the demo too and happened to her.

I don't see a link to change the speed music and invincible.it in the samples config. Would I need to replace it with another .it? would it accept another format?

Okay, I'll improve the logic a bit.

Unfortunately the samples config is only for samples. If we get an .ogg for the invincibility song today or tomorrow, we'll tell you, so you'll be able to replace it by another .ogg.
PS: you replace musics/speed.ogg by something else

Talking about music formats... .ogg is very heavy. Maybe we can implement the .mp3 for the music. More avaiable and needs less memory

Piece of cake...!

Well, there's a lot of mp3 to ogg converters out there. Try Audacity, for example.

Ogg is actually smaller at most times when I convert them... 'shrugs'

It's the opposite way, actually.

If you need even more lightweight music, use .mod/.it/.xm/.s3m
