Mr. Hoppington's Shape Search - A Kid's Doom mod (release!)

[lizardcommando]

I just ran the fixed level and the switch didn't work.

So here's the Decorate coding for the monkey and the blue shape.

Code: Select all

ACTOR HappyMonkey replaces HeartColumn
{
  Radius 16
  Height 32
  Scale .7
  +SOLID
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    MNKY A 10
    MNKY BCB 5
    MNKY D 5
    MNKY A 5
    Loop
  }
}

actor BlueShape: Key replaces BlueCard
{
  +Floatbob
  inventory.pickupmessage "You found the Blue Circle!"
inventory.icon "BKEYST0"
Inventory.PickupSound "misc/i_pkup"
  states
  {
  Spawn:
    BKEY A 30 bright
    BKEY B 10 bright
    loop
  }
}

A switch is supposed to spawn those two items and yes, I do have mapspots 1 and 2 on the map.

---

try setting the normal tag to 1 (which is currently 4) and not the "MapSpot Tag"

[lizardcommando]

Alright. It works now! Thank you everyone for your help!

I'm trying to replace the health bonuses with a custom item, but every time I try to start a new game, it'll crash, saying something about a

Script error, "shapesearch.wad:DECORATE" line 198:
Unexpected 'shinycoin/pickup' in definition of 'ShinyCoin'

What does this mean and how do I fix this?

Code: Select all

ACTOR ShinyCoin replaces HealthBonus
{
  +Floatbob
  +COUNTITEM
  +INVENTORY.ALWAYSPICKUP
 Inventory.PickupSound "shinycoin/pickup"
  Inventory.Amount 1
  Inventory.MaxAmount 200
  Inventory.PickupMessage "Picked up a shiny coin!"
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    COIN ABCD 5
    Loop
  }
}

try replacing the actor declaration line with this:

Code: Select all

ACTOR ShinyCoin : Inventory replaces HealthBonus

if you want ot to heal, replace Inventory with HealthBonus.

Cool. It works now. Thanks

This looks very interesting. I'd love to see the final product.

[lizardcommando]

I just realized that the HUD won't work in resolutions lower than 1024 x 768. What can I do to fix this?

[Demolisher]

ACS or SBarInfo?

[lizardcommando]

I made it in SBARINFO.

[Demolisher]

Well it shouldn't break unless the images are too big, or the text isn't positioned well enough. Try adjusting text position and image sizes.

[lizardcommando]

This is what I have for the SBARINFO coding:

Code: Select all

height 0;
CompleteBorder True;

statusbar normal
{

     DrawImage "KEYHUD", 190, -470;
     DrawSwitchableImage BlueShape, "nullimage", "BKEYST0", 170, -470;
     DrawSwitchableImage YellowShape, "nullimage", "YKEYST0", 190, -470;
     DrawSwitchableImage RedShape, "nullimage", "RKEYST0", 210, -470;

}

statusbar Fullscreen

{

     DrawImage "KEYHUD", 190, -470;
     DrawSwitchableImage BlueShape, "nullimage", "BKEYST0", 170, -470;
     DrawSwitchableImage YellowShape, "nullimage", "YKEYST0", 190, -470;
     DrawSwitchableImage RedShape, "nullimage", "RKEYST0", 210, -470;

}

What would be the ideal position for it to work in any screen resolution and not just the highest resolution?

[lizardcommando]

I'm trying to get my HUD to work in all resolutions, but I can't seem to get it working right. The problem right now is that the HUD will only work properly in the highest resolution. I want it so that the HUD is always displayed on the top middle part of the screen just like how it's shown in the first screenshots. Can someone please help get this coding to work? This thing needs to be done by next week.

Alright, so I messed with the coding some more and I'm still stumped. I was able to have it so that the HUD is displayed at the bottom of the screen. It works fine like that in all resolutions. In fact, I'm going to keep it like that for the normal HUD position. The Fullscreen HUD i want it so that it is displayed at the middle top like in the first screenshots. As mentioned earlier, however, that will only work in the highest resolution.

K, so there apparently is a way to center your HUD but you're going to lock your scale in to whatever you choose. I forget if there was a way to have a true centered bar unfortunately...
