Creativity / DigiTrack - Some Strange Rhythm-Action Flash

« on: April 04, 2012, 06:26:18 AM »

DigiTrack
A Flash game where I have no clue on how to create
"What if this dies off like the ski hill!?"
                        -Mushroom Man

It's some Flash thing that I decided to create while I was sitting around in the school library after school. I chose flash as I wanted to learn more about Actionscript, plus the added benefit of visualizations with the music.

General Concept
If you've played Guitar Hero or TapTap before, you won't find it too different: When a target reaches a certain point of the screen, you press the correct key at the correct time. The targets usually follow to the beat or rhythm of the song.

Here's the general layout I've come up with:



Scoring
Here's the scoring formula:

Target Worth * Combo * Zone Multiplier

Target Worth: Regular targets yield 25 points. Trailers yield 2 points for every 100 milliseconds (?) of holding down.
Combo: Every successful hit adds to the combo.
Zone Multiplier: A target hit on the "good" zone will be worth x1.0, when hit in the "perfect" zone it will be worth x2.0 as much.



I actually have no idea how to make this work. I've tried many approaches, but none have worked the way I want. I'm still stuck on how to make the targets give points when the key is pressed, how to make it dissapear, and how to make trailers. Any help will be appreciated.

Modification Help / Asking around

« on: March 31, 2012, 04:42:59 AM »

...for like the zillionth time, but whatever. I'm incapable of doing anything. Okay? Okay.

I need someone who can make player-vehicles. The player-vehicle I have in mind must be mountable by more than one person and can be moved by events like addVelocity, but doesn't have to move on its own. I'll tell you more details when you are chosen.

Suggestions & Requests / Anti-Aliasing Graphical Setting

« on: February 04, 2012, 12:17:42 AM »

I know there's a way to set anti-aliasing if you have a nVidia graphics card, but I have an AMD Radeon and the Catalyst Control Center doesn't have an option to individually set graphics for an application. I keep forgetting to set anti-aliasing back to "Application Managed" every time I play something other than Blockland.

I'm not a computer whiz or anything so I don't know if the engine supports something like this.

Thanks in advance.

Add-Ons / Glass Shatter Explosion

« on: January 16, 2012, 05:57:05 AM »

Glass Shatter Explosion
Not much to say, but it's an explosion for glass complete with custom emitters and sounds.



Use: Due to addon-engine-blahwhatever limitations there will be one items added to both the spawnExplosion and spawnProjectile menus. There's not much difference between spawning either one, they practically act the same. Use it for your movies, DMs, I dunno.

The explosion does not hurt, but causes camera shake.

Modification Help / Looking for scripters and modelers

« on: January 14, 2012, 03:41:47 AM »

...scripters, mostly.

Let's see...I'm thinking of making a futuristic weapons pack, I just thought there was a lack of them. I've got most of the concepts down and even modeled a couple weapons already. I can do some basic copy-and-edit-values scripting but I'll need someone like x50 better than I am because some of these ideas I have might be harder to figure out, supposing they're possible at all. It would be even better if there was a solid way for me to know you're up to the task. I might also need a modeler capable of doing animation.

As for pictures, I won't show any, I want it in secrecy until I have a couple weapons functioning properly. You know, suspense and everything.



Thanks in advance.

I love those two. Especially when they're together. So I made this 720p video. In Flash. Fragmented sentences in OP. Yay.

Help / Spawned? Lies

« on: October 20, 2011, 06:15:17 AM »

Probably the most peculiar freezes I've ever had.

What happens is that I watch the loading bar load datablocks and objects. As soon as I finish loading objects, spawn messages (e.g. Rules) show up on the chat, as well as "QuantumEagle spawned." However, I'm still staring at at loading screen with a full loading bar. Nothing happens. I can press the escape key to attempt to stop and get back onto the main menu, but the menu now has terrible FPS and I'll have to restart Blockland for it to be playable again.


I've attacked my console log. Don't mind the Could not locate texture: Add-Ons/Print_1x1_SierraKSOD/Prints/._Logo3.png yada yada stuff, it's some old addon I made with a couple missing files. I never had this problem before

The console is a sequence of me attempting to start an online server, then escaping out of the "frozen" loading screen and exiting Blockland.

___________ in a Nutshell
(Noun related to Blockland)                                                                       

Blockland has a lot of special things that may seem confusing to newcomers. If you're confused yourself, don't dispear, Quantum to the rescue! I make videos to summarize different things related to Blockland.

Drama / BlocklandBubba - "GTFO STOP MAKING VIDEOS YOU SUCK BALLS AT IT ASSforgetER"

« on: October 14, 2011, 07:15:27 AM »

Here's a

pleasant individual

that we should add to our ever-lengthening banlist, BlocklandBubba on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=-ajzHdc4ADM
(Note that YouTube does not sort the comments by time. I don't know why.)

So those of you who were kind enough to watch this video may have noticed (or read) that it was "filmed" in Suburb's City RP. So along comes a guy called Gunjoy899:

Lol.  That's surb's.

Then a guy called BlocklandBubba comes along as well:

@gunjoy899 no stuff dumbass

Now there's a great sign.

Gun comes back with a dose of logic.

@BlocklandBubba

Yeah, that's a totally reasonable reaction to my comment.

You seem like a pleasant individual.

All of a sudden, Bubba suddenly reveals that he has been hit by a truck and recieved brain damage at one point or another.

@gunjoy899 SUCK MY rooster THE ONLY REASON YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS VIDEO WAS BECAUSE ME AND CODZ97 FAVORITED IT!!!!! cigaretteGIT

Codz also tags along to help with Gun.

@BlocklandBubba I didn't have anything to do with this video being famous. He's just an amazing video maker.

and @gunjoy899 I think it's Bubba

@Codz97

Any reason why he is raging so hard at me?

@gunjoy899 No idea he does this quite often on popular videos

So then I attempt to dismiss him, as well as Suburb.

@BlocklandBubba Wow, you're a starfish.

I hope the guy with the shoulder minigun thing comes and kills you

@BlocklandBubba Hey, this is surburb who owns this city. Bubba what is your in game name exactly? Because your sounding like a strange person.

BUT whoever guessed that his brain hasn't healed, you're sadly correct.

@surburbful I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU friend ASS DOUCHE BAG I DON'T CARE IF YOU OWN SURBURBS CITYRP U FAIL AT BEING AN IMPOSTER GO forget YOURSELF

And stuff keeps happening.

omg bot evnts dont work with v20 i hate v20!!!!!!!!!!!

No, actually, nothing to do with v20.

In the output events setBotAim and setBotMovement, there's an option called "vector". Now I'm not going to take any mathematics class explaining vectors anytime soon, so how on earth do they work?

Off Topic / A Foundation of Sorts

« on: October 06, 2011, 09:37:23 AM »

I was just sitting in The Box of Random Spontaneous Ideas (better known as the shower) when I suddenly imagined Blockland in a giant conflict. I have no idea on what this would be about, it's just that there's a lot of fighting going on. Firefights in Diggy's Metro, dogfights over the AA airports and land forces crawling over Badspot's Block Party. There's some sort of board of people with the top Blocklanders discussing tactics and assessing situations.


Now excuse me while I go check if the part of my brain telling me it's a silly idea is still functioning.
