can you make games like the NES vershins of mortal kombat and streat fighter?
sarry about spelling
-
Yes, you (Editor: Censored)ing can! You just need to read the (Editor: Censored)ing RPG Code Help Files and make a (Editor: Censored)ing shitload of images!!!
YOU = (http://http://motd.ssxh.net/forum/images/smiles/newbie.gif), and I (Editor: Censored)ing hate n00bz! Especially the dumb ones that don't bother to read the god-damned help files!
-
I red the (Editor: Censored)ing help file
-
you read them? good, now go study grammer
-
Well put, Tosoto. Well put.

shut up, zero. I hate to be so harsh and seemingly without consideration, but shut up.
I have multiple reasons:
A)We were all newbies once
B)He needed help and you shot him down like a horse near death
C)Like it or not, we will be replaced someday and all of the newbies will become midbies, then oldbies. Unfortunately, it's people like you that set the precedent for THEM to be the same.
Acting as immature as you did just now tells me that you are, yourself, a newbie, and do not belong to the respecting community that this (used to be, at least) is.
Maybe you should just go away for a little bit, calm down, and come back.
As for Game Shark, it is indeed possible, yet just not feasible to make a fighting game like Mortal Kombat in RPGCode, which you would have to use. It simply isn't, as of yet, fast enough to handle that kind of thing. For now, I would use Game Maker. Or, you could just wait until the TK somehow gets faster code... which I could only see happening if there were a way to compile RPGCode into Assembler/binary code, so the proccessor could handle it directly, instead of going through Trans3 to Windows to the processor.
Hope that helsp Smile

Well, excuse me, but if he read the help file as he claims, then he would have understood variables and image positioning. Since he apparently doesn't understand anything, I've come to the conclusion that he skipped over the help file and just came straight to bugging us.
And by the way, if I am a n00b, how is it that I am working on a battle system without bugging Xorlak or Rueben?
Yeah, sure I did summer 2002 through Winter 2002, but I've been working from scratch without his assistance for quite a while (iow, I've thrown away what he's helped me with and I've started a new BS without help)
And if as you say I don't (Editor: Censored)ing belong here, fine. Email Mikey Hill and tell him to (Editor: Censored)ing ban me. I'll go and delete my IFX account and the Toolkit.
I'm sure there's a better rpg engine than the Toolkit. I'll let you know when I find it.
-
Damn. There are noobs and there are no noobs. Let's just suppose the guy here is NO NEWB.
Okay, so THERE IS A WAY but because you're a noob like we all are it's not practicaly possible to do in time we all have to spare for our existence. This will take about 2-3 generations, so begin teaching your children rpgcode already.
But GOD OR WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE DAMN IT! Stop making this forum melt in blazes you all spit here! It is possible. I hate noobs, especially noobs that throw "you're a noob" whenever they encounter someone asking a simple question.
I am planning (in logic, not already in tk) how to make a board-based "heroes of might and magic" like battle system where you can move, have melee/ranged/global attacks and solid obstacles. Am I a noob? Of course! We all are! Gaze upon the mirror and if your mirror image is gazing straight at you, you're a noob! If not, buy yourself new glasses.
Amen.
-
Will some one pleas type up a programe pleas it would be apreshiated and I will give you credit in the game thanks
-
Credit? Credit? Sorry - for me it would be enough - altrough I believe it would take 15 years and during this time I'll get thrown out of school, f*** up matural exam and become workless drunk on train station (because of dedicating myself to this task would take all my time) - but I guess even if you'll increase the so-called CREDIT to a 10000$ reward there won't be a man - except maybe Xorlak or some other maniac who would dedicate his life for making such a program in rpgtoolkit - to make it for you.
It's RPG toolkit, sorry! Ask cmb to make FG (Fightning Game) Toolkit if you need.
It's not that I don't like you (though you throw your f***s everywhere and generally are somehow noobish, indeed) but it's not a ABRA CABADRA PROGRAM READY thing. Even the easiest BS takes some work to do, and asking for a combat fightning game program is extremely hard - if not impossible with TK - thing to do. Pray to God or whatever you believe for that, he may be the only one who knows how to make this.
-
Dude you need to calm down!! You say all that crap to him and it hits me because I am still somewhat a noob. That hurts. I thought you were a kewl kid, too. Apologize please and be done with this animosity!!!!
Oh G Shark, YOu pretty much can't and you pretty much never will with TK, sorry dude!
-
Calm down? What the hell you want from me now?! Surprised
I am ABSOLUTELY calmed down and have full control over my words!
-
hah, <_< ...wel game shark...i may be a able to help some...im still a half noobie with graphics...but for programing im pretty good...ill try to help Very Happy , just email me what you want and ill do what i can with it Lightmage26@aol.com . but if im not able to do anything with u better go use the game maker..ive used it for that kind of thing...not the toolkit...i doubt ull get any help here -_-
-
at least with a fighting game (srry bout that cesque ad xorlak!) they have helped me a LOT Very Happy
-
Really, some of you have nasty tempers. No offence, but Aliens right, calm down before you hurt yourself. Also, could you please refrain from using profane language. This is a discussion forum, not a some school playground.
-
Of course we have nasty tempers when we are bugged...wouldn't you be bugged if an idiot noob bugged you for a combat engine when a simple RPG battle system can take months to complete? An advanced one can take up to 9 months for the average programmer, and 4 months for the godlike programmers *cough*Xorlak*cough*
A fighting game engine would require a SHITLOAD of methods and shit that work together, AND the engine alone would be up to 20 programs long. All I have to say is "HELL NO!" Nobody will ever work on that shit for ANYONE!
-
well, its not as hard as you make it seem (but still near damn imposible) but yeah, if you realy want to make a game like that, i would just try using the game maker, and you can find a lot of people graphics, aliens and other crap too, but just dont try to use the TK for this unless you want your grandson to be wonking on it
-
And by the way, if I am a n00b, how is it that I am working on a battle system without bugging Xorlak or Rueben?
Yeah, sure I did summer 2002 through Winter 2002, but I've been working from scratch without his assistance for quite a while
:blink: that's a lot of time
made one yesterday in 6 hours non-stop Smile
Kinda 2D fightin' game like gameshark mentioned only a bit of a FF add. Even if it isn't tested and there probable are some bugs in..... <_<
@Gameshark - I could send you this program to let you see how it could be (it's not exactly what you mean but it's an good introduction. Send me a mail if you want it, k?
[email:ef130]info@cornalien.tk[/email:ef130]
-
Well, i don't have a lot of time to spare...see, unlike most of you ppl, I do things other than make games. I have a shitload of homework on a regular basis. I have 2 hours of martial arts on a daily basis. AND I spend 4 hours every saturday checking out girls at the mall...hoping to get a new gf.
-
I just happen to have the most important exams in my life so far this year, and the mocks for them in a little over a week. The mocks are also important because they determine where I go next year. I have no time to do anything. My games are on hold. This year has so far sucked. And it has a lot mor sucking to do in the next 2 terms.
-
Yeah, sure, Mark... With you face- ekhm, I mean, talent, you'll sooner find a GF in meaning of "guardian force" than "(Editor: Censored), ekhm, girl friend".
Apologizes for above.
I really apologize for the above! Live this damn katana alone!!!
Eeeeh... As long as I have where to sleep, what to breath, what to it, what to drink, and some fun in live, I'm happy! I love this world! I love God! I'm a happy happy man! What? Ah, yes, school starts in 2 days. DAMMIT!
-
Yes, i know my school pic sucks. You haven't seen any of my better pics...check my yahoo profile. I have my most recent pic there. Link is in my sig.
-
You're really 15? You either look like 17 at least or take too much steroids, dude. Smile
I dare not to listen to your voice, brrr, howl of banshee combined with Michael Jackson's voice is propably less blood-chilling...
-
Yes, I'm 15...and I don't take steroids or anything.
And the voice file was a bad recording...I'm working on a better one.
And btw, Sarah and I got back together.
-
Good for you. I suppose. What does she think about the tk?
-
Congratulations...
But you go to gym from time to time? Wink
Or perhaps it is because of Chernobyl that in Poland folks look less, hmm, packed-up at the age of 15.
-
No, The UK and Us are exceptions, almost everyone in the UK and Us are packed up and/or fat. I am not packed up, just a little plump.
All the rest of the reasonably rich world has better looking people, or maybe it is just "grass is greener on the other side".
Oh, yeah. Congratualtions. Sorry, I should have said that earlier.
-
Yeah, sure. Each country has something special about it.
USA - Far, eat hamburgers all the time, country is crawling with niggas
UK - Same as above, almost, altrough the situation here is better, country is crawling with arabians
Germany - Drink beer, beer and beer
Russia - Same as above except for vodka
Poland - Steal and lots of bandicy all around
Ukraine - Glow in darkness thanks to Chernobyl
Bielorus - All the b***es of a bit more western europe are from Bielorus, a country of prostitutes, simply...
Czech - Funniest language. Really, children would have fun by listening to bohemian talk, it's the funniest language I've ever heard!
Itality - Fashists, spaghetti and pizza
Skandinavia - Ecology, legalised porns and aliments as women's greatest source of cash
Romania - Poor starving children on streets
Nairobia - Same as above except children except they have no streets and children starve everywhere else
Brazil - All the popular long stupid TV serials are from here.
Columbia - For all your drugs need... Ehem, for all drugs you need Wink
Koreans - Use "gosu", "hasu" and "sayan" words too much, laugh "kekekekekeke".
Japanese - Storm world with manga, anime and dog robots which cost 999999$ and can bark in at least 7 languages
Chinese - Communistic worko-holics which are more red than their eyes are funny
Etc, etc, etc...

He trains psychically weak granmas to sit in circles and speak their miserable prayers while he eats homars and crabs in best restaurant in town he visits. Man. I HATE THIS!

Chechnia: Very bad things happen there. It seems that they want independance. So why not give them independance? Reason, Vladimir Putin, a bastard, counts his political career as more important than other people's lives.
There are huge numbers of religious fanatics in USA, so many religious TV channels. In some states you are not allowed to teach evolution, but have to teach that the bible is right in EVERYTHING!
-
Forbidding teaching about evolution in some states? Damn, this country is heading backward. Crazy mennonytes.
Religion causes shivers down my spine. Tonight I had a dream where a local priest
openly said he belongs to the Gnostics, dressed up like a giant chicken and taught people about the power of the Gnosis... Hmmm, got worse dreams, trust me.
Nearly every political bastard counts his career as more important than other peoples' lives.
Sunnis suck. Shyites are the ones that have right of rule due to mahometan lineage of Ali which started sunni-shyite conflict.
-
I did not know about that.
Personally I think Iraq should be split up on ethnic lines.
-
Yeah, I also didn't know my local priest dresses up like chicken and foretells the power of Gnosis! Who would dare to suspect him?
-
Only the Pope. He meets him every day (except sundays) for the chicken dance.
-
Whoa! No! Not the pope too! Soon all of the church will look a like my granma's farm 30 years ago!
Duk, duk! Co-cococo-coco-coooo! The Gnosis comes! Let us dance and feast all night as it's the Chicken's Day! Duk, duk!
-
Actually, I can tell that there are many assumptions being made abotu America.
Forbidding the teaching of evolution: illegal. As is stated in the constitution, there is separation of church and state, and thus public (mind you, public) schools are required by law not to teach religious rights, and some have in fact been sued and jailed for it.
Further, the testing done to all students in America would not meet national standards without the study of evolution.
Oh, and how was Martin Luther King Jr. a bad thing?
As for the racist thing, only in the South of the USA. Anywhere else, being racist will likely get you shunned, or even shot.
Oh, and have you seen (American) football? The ball has been known to be hard enough to put a nasty bruise into your shin.
-
In the past, some states did forbid the teaching of evolution, in fact one person went to jail for teaching it.
Martin Luther King was not a bad thing. The list was not purely of bad things. The fact that most things were bad just reflects on what the world is like.
Yes, racism does seem to be more intense in the south. However, there is still segregation, of a kind. The kind where most of the white people live in suburbia, and the black people in ghettos in the urban areas. And the fact that the white people in the suburban areas always seem to be afraid of a raging horde of black people entering the suburban areas. If an unexplained crime is committed, then people jump to the conclusion that it was a black man. Was there not a case a few years ago of a woman who killed her kids and claimed that a black man had kidnapped them? And everybody believed her! Also, how many rich black people are there in the USA? Watch "Bowling for Columbine."
Have you ever played or watched Rugby? Besides, what is the point of playing a game where it is imperitive to your safety to wear padding?
Lastly, the list is not all bad, and not all present tense, see my first point in this post.
-
You make some valid points there. I guess it's just where you live...
In California, a person in office was impeached because he said he wanted to cleanse the sate of black people (or something like that).
The reason football requires padding is because the ball is made out of a very tough material, and is awkwardly shaped for more didstance. However, that shape adds a point to each end of the ball, which is the dangerous part.
I donbt particularly have a taste for footbal, and indeed soccer is my favorite sport.
As far as black people go, that's the South. We tried to get them to change (the American civil war; most blood ever shed in a war America was involved in, and it was between itself). The North might have won the war, but the South never really gave up their old way of life, which was to treat black people like dirt. Thus, the black and white are often separated, but mostly in the South.
I'm not sure about the rest of America, but here in California, there is so much variety (the minorities, together, outweigh the majority by a lot) that we are forced to accept people into our community, black, white, hispanic, whatever. That's not to say that that's a bad thing, though Smile.
Why, two students got suspended the first month of school for writign "K.K.K" on a bench and drawing a swastika in the bathroom.
Oh, and I don't know what statistics you're looking at, but the reason there aren't very many rich black people is because THEY'RE A MINORITY. They make up a lot less of the population than people tend to think (though they are a lot more common than other minorities). And there are rich black people. They simply aren't as common nor as publicised.
And as far as conviction goes, yes, you are correct; blacks are, in the eyes of many, more likely to commit a crime. However, that woman could have blamed anyone and they would have started looking for him/her. Most likely a him, because sexes are a lot more stereo-typed and discriminated than races, though in different ways.
I won't bother to go anymroe into this right now; I have stuff to do Smile.
-
You should still watch Bowling for Columbine Smile That was one of my main sources.
I live in the UK.
You like soccer (known in the rest of the world as football, the great thing is you actually kick the ball)? Good on you!
White in suburbia, black in the city.
Still, the majority of black people in the USA are poor. There is a disproportionally high amount of poor black people.
Bowling for Culumbine= Best film ever.
-
You are right; there are a lot of poor black people. I will agree that that is indeed because of segregation.
The way the system is right now, if blacks are (or believe they are) refused jobs because they are blacks (or white, or hispanic, or female, etc), then they can sue and go to civil court. However, who wants to go through all of that if they're job hunting?
-
Noone would go to that much trouble unless the rewards were high.
Black people in the USA tend to live in certain (poor) areas, with not very good schools, therefore not very good education, therefore not very high prospects, therefore offspring live in same areas, therefore their children go to the same schools etc.
This is made worse in Michigan by the "welfare to work program."
Why is it that the USA has an almost non-existent welfare state?
-
Now THAT I don't know. The way it is right now, those in poverty get free welfare, the rich can afford it, and the middle class is kinda thrown in the gutter.
That's something they should fix. I wrote an essay about changes that should be made to America (that was one of tehm), and I got $25 off of it Razz
-
In Flint, Michigan, a six year old boy killed a six year old girl at school with a gun that he had found at his uncle's house. He was staying there because his mother had been evicted from her house that she rented, the welfare money was not enough. On top of that she was a compelled member of Michigan's "welfare to work" program, meaning that she hardly met her son at all, partly because she had to do two jobs just to make ends meet, and it did not even do that. Perhaps the fact that she was forced by the state not to look after her son that he went to school and shoy a girl in his class.
Did you know that 12% of Americans live below the official poverty line?
In comparison to the rest of the rich world the USA's welfare system is pitiful.
-
Hmmm, in Poland the official poverty line is perhaps all those guys sleeping their vodka-sleeps near monopoly shops and still about 30% folks are below that.
We have not much guns in Poland... People refer to knives when problems come.
And we don't have separated church and state, which means God is everywhere and as long as pope is polish, no one would propably do something about that. Not that I'm against, but there isn't much tolerance in it.
-
30% below povery line in Poland? Sounds about right. Considering you are a former communist state.
Everything to do with state should be secular, it is more fair. That is one of the maoin things I hate about the UK.
-
Pardon! We weren't communistic STATE! We weren't part of USSR! We were a free country, altrough ruled by communistic leaders in alliance of USSR, which makes our country better the Belorussia, Ukraine and such. Same was for Czechoslovakia, for example.
During communist, people WERE poor, but they weren't presenting the DEN they now present! Now, the "poor" are drinking alcoholics from pathologic families, some time ago being poor wasn't bad, as no one really had money, and those alcoholics were living happy lives working physically... now they are considered a lower class, they fell from their laborer grace, became workless and lost their reputation of people who "build our country". They are human sh*** now, and I must say I understand them.
-
Poland was ruled by a communist party, therefore a communist state. Member of Warsaw pact.Communist does not mean: part of the USSR. It means a state which is totalitarian and things are supposedly shared out equally. Do you mean to say that China is not communist, or are you saying it was part of the USSR?
You were, theoretically, a free country, but it did not seem to make any difference to the USSR. Look at Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic and Slovakia) and the Prague spring. The USSR goes: Hey, this is dangerous. Send in the Tanks!
Notice I said former communist state. All the former communist states are not doing too well. Russia: not good, Ukraine: not good, Belarus: not good, Germany: still has problems woith its eastern half, Romania: not good.
Can you tell me of any former communist countries that are doing well? The only possible one in my opinion is Czech Republic, and that is because yopu never hear about it...
-
Wha wha wha? I've never heard about Czech Republic? Czech Republic, yeah, it's doing really well, I love this country. Far better than Poland. At least they build nuclear reactors.
No difference from USSR? Well, pardon, again. We were USSR pawns but it all depends on what president we had. There were actually good presidents during communism (Gomulka, Gierek) but they were later dismissed from the party by the USSR supporting politics. We haven't got public executions, mass-murders, gulags or absolute fight with religion which was better than USSR.
Hmm, sorry, I just thought about the word "state" as in "united states", for example...
Hmmm... Doing well? Cuba? At least it's not as poor as Ukraine. Litve (is that the english word for this country?) also it not worst (compared to others).
Doing well, yeah. This also depends. Who is doing better... Man which has home, work, enough money to survive a cheap car and safety, or a man which has troubles with finances, hates the work which he can lose anytime because cold rules of stock exchange are more powerful than living people, and every moment can get attacked or robbed by bandits?
-
I meant that the USSR treated eastern Europe as part of itself. After Yogoslavia left the Warsaw pact there were more propaganda posters from the USSR critiscising Tito than the USA. Yugoslavia had gone out of line.
When I talked about the Czech republic I think you misunderstood me, I apologise.
I should not use too many English coloquialisms. The "you" meant "one", as in "one never hears about it." Which means that, in the UK at least, you never hear about anything bad or controversial happening in the Czech Republic, whereas we hear quite few things about Poland and Slovakia and Serbia etc.
Cuba, as a communist state, has almost failed. They use more US$s than Pesos.
Litve? I think I can guess what that is, possibly. Is that Lithouania?
-
The only thing reminding me after "Lithouana" is "Litania" in Polish which means, well, "litany", a prayer.
It's... let me check... Yeah, Lithouania. What a stupid name, muahahaha!
Several polish country names:
Poland - Polska
Germany - Niemcy
England - Anglia
Spain - Hiszpania
Lithouania - Litwa
Belarus - Bialorus (translated, "white russia")
Russia - Rosja ("rus" in older times)
Latvia - Lotwa
Hungary - Wegry
Switzerland - Szwajcaria
Italy - Wlochy (or "Italia")
Croatia - Chorwacja
(in polish, "w" reads like "v" and "ch" like "h")
-
Thankyou! You have helped me understand a bit of Napoleonic history! I read a book and it said that Napoleons men were frozen to death the most in "white Russia" I now know what it means!
Rus I think was an early Russian word for "Scandinavian" because of the Vikings which settled there.
-
Not at all. "Rus" was just a word for early russian tribes, which came from Scandinavians.
It's not Rus but Ruś but you propably can't see the specific polish letters Wink It's a really soft "s". Laughing
-
I hardly ever see Polish letters. Actually, what type of Alphabet do you use? Russian/Greek type of Latin type?
-
We use the regular latin alphabet but have several additional letters (same is for Germans with their U with 2 dots above etc), but in pure polish there are no letters Q, X and V (they exist in non-translated words but there is no pure polish word with these). Q is replaced by "kw" or "ku", X is replaced by "ks" and V is replaced by "w" so there is no need for them...
So where's the W, you ask? Well, for W as it is read in english (like in words Word or World) we have a letter Ł (crossed L).

The Icelandic alphabet has no c, q or w, i am not sure about the x.
In addition it has Á Ð É Í Ó Ú Ý Ö Æ Þ.
