Topic: Game Development Issues / More than 2 joysticks

I know that GM can support up to 2 joysticks, but I was wondering if there is
any way that would allow me to use more. (4 preferably) There is probably an
extention file out there somewhere that does what I am trying to do but I can
seem so get ahold of it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps =]

Topic: Game Development Issues / TDS: Multiple lights?

What you need to change it that you are going to need multiple rectangle for
blacking everything out, I believe the easiest would be something like this:
Code

var i,ii;

i = instance_nearest(x,y,obj_light)

if point_distance(x,y,i.x,i.y) <
max(view_xview[0]+view_wview[0],view_yview[0]+view_view[0])+800

{

scr_light

}

Platformer, no doubt. Best at programming and designing them.
I've tried to make almost every genre there is, but I like platformers the most,
those (my opinion) are the funniest, both to make and play.

If some time down the road I develop more free time than I can handle, I'll take
a look at it. Until then, I'm a bit too busy for a MMORPG.

Topic: General Chat / What Genre Game Are You Best At Making?

I dunno... I make different stuff, normally i don't finish them though, (with a
few more weeks of development they probably would be though).
I have made:
a top down boat/gunner game
a maze generator
puzzle game
Platform game
A side view 'protect the castle' type game
Now im making a game a bit like settlers...
I basically just try out different stuff. Never used GM for a 3d game though...
Im trying out Dark GDK for stuff like that.

Nailog advertised for DDO a huge load of times a while back, so you should be

Cool sound. Dr. Salvation is already working on ambient BGM for the game. But I
don't think we have any event music yet. You know, boss battles, story scenes,
and such.

It was supposed to be Sneakier, but I somehow missed the 'n'... I keep kicking
myself for that. There's no way I'm paying $10 just to fix that. It'll probably
end up as either Supafly777 or FergusMacRoich, a hero of the Irish Ulster Cycle.

Topic: Game Development Issues / TDS: Multiple lights?

Ok, yet again I come here for help. I'm still working on my TDS and finally got
around to making a 'flashlight' effect based on the example from the tomb game
in the apprentice book.
Here is the (loosely edited) script from the book:
{
//only draw if you have flashlight
if ( !obj_char_1.has_flashlight ) exit
//determine size of lit area
var x1,y1,x2,y2,ww;
if ( global.light_on ) ww = 800 else ww = 300
x1 = argument0-ww/2;
x2 = argument0+ww/2;
y1 = argument1-ww/2;
y2 = argument1+ww/2;
//draw darkness
draw_set_color(c_black);
draw_rectangle(0,0,x1,room_height,false);
draw_rectangle(x2,0,room_width,room_height,false);
draw_rectangle(0,0,room_width,y1,false);
draw_rectangle(0,y2,room_width,room_height,false);
subtract light image
draw_set_blend_mode(bm_subtract);
draw_background_stretched(bg_light,x1,y1,ww,ww);
draw_set_blend_mode(bm_normal)
}
That part works fine. But I also want to be able to place other lights
throughout the 'world'.
So I wrote up this:
draw_set_blend_mode(bm_subtract);
draw_background_stretched(bg_light,obj_light1.x,obj_light1.y,64,64);
draw_set_blend_mode(bm_normal)
It draws it out properly but it gets 'shadowed out' like all the other objects.
I know that it's because of the other script drawing the blackness everywhere
that isn't covered by the light for the player. What I don't know is how to
change it to work correctly. Thank you!

Adventure games, I like to mix it up a bit. Personally I sometimes go a week or
two without doing anything until I get an idea then I will work for a weed or
two. I like a game to be long but exiteing never knowing what comes next.
