Topic: Suggestion Box / DDS reader

Hey ppl!
I have had many times when graphics were tight, and DDS files had what I needed.
Just wondering if there is a way there could be some sort of plug-in or
extension for 7.0 and up that could do this. Any ideas on how this could be
done?

Why don't you ask for a redo-review? If you explain his mistakes and stuff he
could fix them and then you could both be happy.

QuoteIf only we could have it like it was in 1950.

Oh yes, good times for all [/sarcasm]
I believe that everyone should be treated equally, that means equal punishments
for the same offense regardless of gender, and this applies to more than just
criminal offenses. For example, it's ok for a women to criticize a mans
appearance or behavior in public. But if a man does that to a women, it's
unacceptable. Even though both are the same thing, and equally bad, the gender
decides what happens.

I think (not trying to start a debate) that the "global warming" being sold to
the world is untrue.
But I do believe that one day we may run out of resources. And we should
definitely reduce, reuse, and recycle.
But since I don't sign up for random newsletters from anonymous people I'll have
to pass, good luck with your mission tho.

Well then you probably can't play anything decent.

Topic: Game Development Issues / Where to begin with Fog of War System?

Ello again, here with another tricky question. I've decided its about time I
implemented a fog of war into the RTS I've been building. The only problem? I
can't think of a feasible way using GML code to make a good fog of war that
won't lag the game out horridly. I don't know where to begin with this one. If
somebody has had some experience with this particular setup, could I possibly
get a tip or two on how to do something like this?

if your drawing the score with the draw score action that will not work you must
use a draw variable action and select the p1score and p2score variables

Let's put it this way, GM7 exes do not run, Runescape Lags too much, and to top
it all off, it lags even when I'm on websites that don't have advertisements.

ok... now im not getting any error messages but its not adding to the score. how
do i link the p1score variables to the score that's displayed on the screen. i
have the score set up in the draw section its set in both players just in
different places. sorry if this is a dumb question im extremely new to this
program

Topic: General Chat / Was there 6 stars to rate from?

Yes there used to be 6 stars a rather odd but unique number.
The 5 star change reaction was mixed though

Topic: General Chat / Was there 6 stars to rate from?

Ok, now I have been with Yoyo since it came out(its transition from
GameMaker.nl), and I can't remember too well, but was the rate limit 6 stars
back then. I probably would remember this, but I took a long(2 year) break from
Yoyo, which is when I ditched my old account for this one. I see alot of
comments(usually in the first-ten pages) saying things like "Great! 6/6" or
"That sucked, 1/6"...Can somebody who remembers answer that question?

[ball step]
if (ball.x<0)
{
p2score += 1
//destroy ball or put ball in middle or whatever*
}
if (ball.x>room_width)
{
p1score += 1
//destroy ball or put ball in middle or whatever*
}
To have the best effects, put the origin of the ball in the center of the ball.
*I don't know how you are doing that part.
[ball create]
p1score = 0
p2score = 0
What you did is create a variable in each player and tried to access another
variable with the same name from a different object. Another problem is you set
the variables to 0 in the step event. This would constantly set them to 0 after
you added anythin to them.

Topic: Game Development Issues / (solved) keeping score on pong

event of my player 1 but when i score it sends me an error saying that p1score
is a unknown variable and the same vise versa for player 2 what did i do wrong?
