Dialog Extension / Re: How to Install for Stencyl 3.4

« on: November 20, 2019, 06:09:40 am »

Hello,

I just found the Dialog Extension did not work for me when updating. Could you please help me out in this case?

Edit: The game compiled successfully with the extension, but it crashes every time a "show dialog" block is executed. I'll have to go back to the previous version for now.

I'm dying to try 4.0 but I'm afraid about the Dialogue extension as I use it a lot.
Can you guys confirm it's working in 4.0?

It's been a while. I've been steadily working on the game.
I've changed direction a bit. Instead of just enemy arenas, the game is now a full-fledged high speed platformer with scrolling levels with an emphasis on managing your jump energy, maintaning your combo, and collecting "bits".
Here's some of the most important things I've been working on:

• Vertical scrolling levels
• New dynamic camera
• New HUD
• Improved sprites
• New collectible coins (called bits in game)
• Interactive elements on the title screen
• Fully configurable controls for keyboard and gamepad
• Language options (English & Spanish with more being added)
• New intro animation

Updated player and enemies

Hello guys,

I just changed my game's resolution and now my game doesn't load out of the blue. Changing the resolution back doesn't fix it. Can you check my logs (I checked them but have no idea what I'm looking at )and help to identify the issue?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the comments!

Nice to see all the attention for detail, very inspiring.

So with the addition of weapons and infinite jumps, what type of hindrances will there be to limit the player from staying in the air forever?

If I understood correctly, the battery charge is linked to the ability to jump. If you kill an enemy you get some charge for it, so you can only stay in the air as long as you're able to hit enemies.

That's right. Air jumps are not infinite. Right now with a full charge you get 10 jumps/shots which you run out of quickly if you don't jump on something. I make it look easy because I play it every day, but it'll be a challenge to stay in the air. I'm also working on enemies which shoot projectiles and other hazards in the environment which will make it harder still to survive

Good news. I tried updating Stencyl to the latest build (Build 9000). Now I could access the culprit font and rename it, and it works. Also the other Java error seems to have gone away. Awesome.

A funny thing is that after the update my player was falling through the floor. I found that the "Collides with" settings in my collision groups had been magically altered and I had to set them up again. No biggie

I know the tweens are not precise, but in this case the move one is not that bad and I can set the y position right after the tween so it lands where I want it. I don't have the knowledge to create my own tweens yet

Did you mean the grow self over x seconds block?

Yes, I was going for a "grow in" and "grow out" effect for the text.
