itch.io

Sorry to sort of re-open this. I was messing with LUA again (and purchased again via itch.io just in case) to see if I could get this to work. At first, no. But after an evening/night of debugging, I finally found out what was going on. (And it works, by the looks of it! :O) So just for reference, this is with a fresh download of, I'm pretty sure the latest file (between itch.io and where I originally purchased it on the GM marketplace.)

- With the newer versions (2024.1400.3.something) with a Windows VM (and even newer with the Linux beta only versions) it just fails to update properly. As in, it can update everything about the project, except the extension itself. And if I tried to copy fils from older something in, it also cries, complains, and crashes. The solution? I think it was the ./export/for-gms-2.3+ folder something, which actually did contain the extensions, and at least runs with a Windows VM. And from here, I can get a lua state up and working. On Linux? Not so much.

- Turns out on the Linux side of things, it's because the extension (for Apollo.dll) is marked "Windows only," so I just ticked Ubuntu to add it (do not *undo* the Windows tick, because that causes more errors) and it actually started to work. So, I suspect the same issue will pop up for anyone using a Mac, too; that was also unticked.

Anyway, after getting this to actually run, I ran it through a local package export and for extra safety, exported as .yyz for myself. Both seem to open just fine (between Windows VM and Linux) without breaking now, I can create lua states, and when I tried on my Linux part, I was able to add my Print() functionwith the lua_add_function() and call it lua_add_code( LUA, "Print( 'Hello, World!')"); and it worked!

That being said, I'm quite happy and excited now, and sorry for the hassle/bother uh... over a year ago. lol I'll be busy for a while now. lol

So, just a heads up for anyone running this with Linux; apparently if you just use the GUI archive tool, it doesn't extract the files properly with literal backslash characters as file names instead of directory separations. So on Linux, it doesn't actually launch properly.
So use the terminal/CLI to unzip the .zip file, *then* run it with Proton/Wine as desired. That seems to have fixed the issue.

These sketches look so familiar.... lol Was this commissioned by Carbots or did someone else do it in the Carbots style?

Incidentally, while I don't have GM Live, I still caught this post thanks to the screenshot in my email feed. -- Does emailing you thing count for any of your projects and not just this one? (I posted on the forums probably a month ago regarding Apollo.)  -- I kinda hate to just be asking about this too.

I'm sorry, I can't presently figure this out. I'm able to create the two GmxGen and GmlCppExtFuncs with the terminal no problem (once I figured out what was going on with that side..) Everything I did with Visual Studios was uh... Miserable. I still can't figure it out (lol :/) and this might be where I'm stuck, if anything. My best guess/hope was that from the V3 github page, it was going to build all the scripts into some .dll or .so files so that it could be imported to the GM Extension, but... You know, didn't make it that far. (And I probably am on the wrong track, anyway.)
I suppose for the time being, I can default to the Steam Proton and Windows variation to use Lua (I think with the 2.3 scripts?) And if GMS Linux ever leaves Beta, hopefully it'll be able to make use of the .so files; I'm assuming it's the beta that's at fault and not able to make use of the .so files, anyway. (So, thanks for taking time to help, I appreciate it!)

I had ironically avoided this in the theory that running Gamemaker through Proton layer would introduce some extra instability or something. lol Thanks, that did work (and I wasn't expecting that.) Even works creating a Windows based game with a working lua script test, just outright. Wrapping this back to Linux directly (So, again the beta builds) it now imports properly, but I can't get it to work properly, apparently not creating a state. (Windows multiple states follows the standard 0, 1, 2, etc. Linux stays at 0, 0, 0, and the scripts don't trigger.) At this point, I'm unsure if it's because Linux beta GMS something, or the .so isn't triggering properly. I'd love to provide more information if I could, except that I'm woefully incapable of diagnosing this. (Being I'm listening to Chat-GPT, ugh, and running Ghidra with GPT's instructions. lol) So, sorry to uh.. "Dump" this problem back onto you, otherwise. :S If you by chance need anything from me, please do let me know.

Fair enough, but then I don't have Windows anymore and Linux' Ubuntu build is Beta only. :( I might be getting some success anyway, but I'm a bit busy and can't get back right away. I seem to have gotten as far as creating a lua state at least.

I seem to be struggling to set this up in my projects right now, and this is also roughly the only "extension" I have tried in a really long time. So...
No matter how I try to import this, at best, it creates an empty project without assets. It has one included file; ApolloHelp.html is the best I can manage, and this is because that was in the datafiles folder.  Beyond this, I can fiddle around trying to create an extension and import all of the scripts, but I have no idea if I'm even doing any of it right, 'cause I have to import all the files one by one and I'm not sure if they're the right files, if they're out dated, wrong files, etc.
I've been able to figure out that I can import the .gml scripts into the extensions and it'll be able to find the functions per the extension editor, but not the .dll/.so. I'm further unsure if I've imported those properly or not, which I'm sure I'd need, I just have no idea if they're linked properly.
For context, I'm on Linux and using (currently) 2024.1100.0.713 Beta Runtime v2024.1100.0.726.

Anyway, TLDR I'm confused and I don't at all remember how to do any of this, and there doesn't seem to be any guide anywhere. (I mean, aside from just hit import or something.) But then it's still... Not working right. Even importing directly from the market place (where I purchased this some six years ago) all it manages to do is import only the .html file.

Ok, I'll grant giving you a break... But it would be really hot to be sold... >,> So, "please?" lol Future/soon-ish(tm)

Defeat.😈

Parody universe; might as well. Infested Stukov existing when Kerrigan first gets kidnapped and transformed doesn't make canonical sense anyway; he gets infested after the brood wars somewhere. That's my cranky old man opinion. :P

If it helps, downloading the game via the itch.io launcher probably skips over that. Speaking of, I'm not sure if my install is also uh.. bad for the same reason; I'm just starting my investigation now but it seems to not want to display images. (Also on Linux.)
Quick edit: It seems to only like it if I run the game directly from the downloads folder, doesn't matter if it's in the home folder, manually downloaded, or elsewhere, so long as it's in the downloads folder. (For whatever reason, probably Linux/permissions related.) But to that extent, I can have it in a subfolder of the downloads otherwise.

>,> I too, had my 31st birthday yesterday..

Shame I can't rate for the jam submission, 'cause I didn't submit one myself. Would like to see this game more developed... After judging, apparently. lol I'm a total sub for this kind of game. >,>

So, bug report, I guess? But I did find this funny, personally. lol -- The remastered version of water works? Uh.. Sorry, the one where Bandit is just waiting there and you have to rescue the other miners. -- A couple Rapid Riders I had actually drove on land (where there was a refinery) to directly deposit some energy crystals into the tool store. lol

Here's my bug report file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-HqaRLvjtkYYx0fHXAPXBOciTYdoAr3_/view?usp=shari...

It was a complete fluke that I came across this yesterday through my Youtube feed. (Hours after the premiere released, apparently?) This is SO a game I didn't know remember I wanted, because I lost my original disc over two decades ago and emulation just a decade ago had the game too obsolete to do everything. lol (Wow am I old..) I also just want to note that it was a rather nice touch that you added an option to have a random crash every 40-ish minutes emulating the original game. lol

Oh that's what I was thinking before. Sleeping I can understand not resetting the restraint, because it's progress and all. But the mental ward where you get the shower where the gear is taken off and put back on... That doesn't make sense that it isn't reset.... Might need to make the "rest" option in the cell restore energy to keep at it, before shower time.

Rambling tower... For a "typo hero," this actually sounds like a legit dungeon. lo

I think you can import sprites from another editor (like Aseprite, Paint.net, or if you really want, MS Paint itself) and likewise you can just edit the images from the project's save directory itself, and it updates in Gamemaker, doesn't it? (Just something to help out, but considering your work on shaders and how beautiful the demo looks to begin with, I doubt you need this little tip. Otherwise, I agree that Gamemaker's sprite editor is bad. (Good to at least "have," but otherwise I've never really touched it and much prefer other image editors because I'm used to them anyways.)

Wait a minute... Meat to feet... That was a double typo, there is an imposter among them!

Regarding your streaming bit, if this is you getting your own ISP service etc. It may be worth noting that you should make sure you get at least a 5mb/s upload speed (to do, safely, 720p @ 30FPS. You could technically go 1080 @ 30 or 720 @ 60 with that speed.) -- Not everyone is aware of the upload demands of internet, after all. Just a brief (helpful?) PSA. If 1080 @60FPS is a demand, you'll need 10mb/s upload, mind you.

I seem to have run into an error (I'm not familiar with Ren'py errors, so good luck with this report) when doing Sport is Life level 3, I think. (Maybe level 4) and decided to "bite off" Stukov's member. (After what I imagine was a "silly" scene, I started to run into a bunch of exceptions after "failing" every quick time event.) After "failing" every quick time event I realised this seemed to transition to possibly Stuck In Wall 3, but the triggers seemed to auto succeed? The original event did not complete and likewise seems to have corrupted the main scene now, too. (Fortunately, I made a backup.)

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Not just this game, but a few, can't be downloaded through the itch.io launcher. (It's unfortunate, CrossCode is one of them.) If you download them manually from the website, you can get the game, the full game, as you own it.

Would like it, but I'm unsure if they care about itch anymore, actually... Looks like they last posted some 2-4 years ago. Maybe if you're lucky and can ask on their Twitch once in a while? They're working on another game there, once in a while.

Otherwise, looks like they're putting the DLC on Steam and Switch. (I'll be happy with Switch port, at least..) -- Would like PC port too, though.

I don't know if you have any plans to do this, so just a personal request really (But one I'd love to see) is if we could get some art designs (maybe imported too) to place along the edges of the dice faces in some way? I suppose the best way for myself to explain this would be to post this (recent link) that shows dice with all their fancy graphics on the edges: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/levelupdice/level-up-dices-complete-charact...

I very much enjoy the mechanics here. I understand it's early access, but I would prefer more early game start stuff, maybe a bit of a survival/story, too? Still, great game.

I also decided to try this from my notebook which has Intel i3-8130u processor, instead of the Steam's minimum i5; it still works perfectly!

Would like to at least imagine it is, something about keeping your save files for later, when you're "completely done," the game. [no spoiler.] Like @DeathStar25, I very much love this game. Would love to see more, myself. :)

A simple node to overlay one image over another. Script acts by considering the lowest RGB value as if it were an alpha value. Titled the node as "Cover."

Update because the link (Cover) doesn't work anymore (oops) here's the script itself again, anyways. (Just fixing my oops.)

function init()
     setName("Overlay")
     setDesc("Overlays texture on another.")
     setSize(140, 24+64+8+8+18+18+7+4)
     addOutput(24+32)
     addInput("Underlay", 104)
     addInput("Overlay", 104+18)
     addInputParameter("Tolerance","Minimum Pixel Value",104+34,1,0,256)
end
function apply()
     Size = getTileSize()
     for x=0, Size-1 do
         for y=0, Size-1 do
             T1R, T1G, T1B = getValue(0,x,y,255)
             T2R, T2G, T2B = getValue(1,x,y,255)
             Tol = getValue(2,x,y,255)
             Min = math.min(T2R,T2G,T2B)
             if Min >= Tol then
                 setPixel(0,x,y,T2R,T2G,T2B)
             else
                 setPixel(0,x,y,T1R,T1G,T1B)
             end
         end
     end
end

(Put this in a text file, make sure the extension is .lua, and stick the file in the install path --> nodes.) -- It'll show up as whatever the file name is.

It took me way too long to get around to this game. I finally did and absolutely love it. Can't wait for chapter 2, 3, (I assume,) and the like.

I just did a bit of testing at my main Windows 7 computer, it seems the entire mod menu can break if there's more than one mod active at a time. (Windows 7 or 10.) This doesn't seem like a mod issue, but a version issue. (0.0.24c) My mod, in particular, shouldn't be incompatible with any other mod at all. (Except another sort of "play as any race" type of mod.)

Yea it's really weird too. Because it's an "add at line" to the main file, not replace it or anything. Don't know why it's stuck like that. :/

However, for the idea of using constants along with this one, my best suggestion is to load up my mod here play any race, get your preferred race, save as soon as you can, then change load order.

While this any race mod would be compatible with any other mod... This kind of makes a problem with other playable races. lol :/ (Being to start as said race, etc...)

    This mod lets you play as any race. The mod uses the game's race list array to just let you play as any race in story mode. This applies to playable character and starting slave. The file can be downloaded here: AnyRace Extract to the game's mod folder as per modded guidelines.  Mod made for and compatible with 5.24c

Unfortunately I discovered a problem on my windows 10 device, where only one mod can be active at a time, but my windows 7 PC is just fine. Not sure what's exactly going on, if I did something wrong or I missed an update or what.
