Editor Discussion / Special Pillar Boss

« on: September 15, 2013, 06:49:37 AM »

So I'm trying to figure out how to make doodads/theme_a/a_special_pillar_boss start out as down and when you push the button it will go up and wait a bit and then go down again.

It doesn't seem like the changedoodadstate effect them.

repository was the word i was looking for

Thank you

I could make a theme yes, It's wouldn't be the best thing in the world since graphic design is not my strong suite but if someone helped me than it would be 10x better

lol

I do web development and phpbb is a lot easier to make themes for and the framework is easier to modify. You find more people willing to work with phpbb since it is the biggest open source bb. The PM system has a better notification system. I'd like to make a file archive for mods and open resources so it is easier to find and download.

All in all it's more for the framework

So I've been trying to get Myran to use phpbb3 instead because it is a whole lot better than our current one. We can even convert the current data we have to it as well

http://www.phpbb.com/

Converter: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=13219422#p13219422

I shouldn't take any longer then 30 mins at the most.

If I could get a current copy of the database I would do it myself and just give you files and you would only have to change the mysql information in the files and upload the file. 

So anyone else would like a better forum software?

Redownloaded and reinstalled, still have the same problem. I have checked both video driver devices... The other one is a Radeon (TM) HD 6770M... seems it's up to date, so I don't know What video driver I should try?

Try using Catalyst Version 13.4 because I have no issues with that with the same series of card. Seems to be a big issue on the steam forums and I've been trying to help people to narrow down the issue.

Also have you tried enabling hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering on your GPU?

Last edit: Some people fixed the issues by installing the latest net framework
http://filehippo.com/download_dotnet_framework_4/

Tryed, still not working, pixels floating everywhere. Got both the framework 4.5 and used Catalyst :/

I'm not sure then
One of the things seemed to help the other people but you said you did all that (actually did and not just that is already installed) so i don't know my friend.

a lobby when you drop in so you can pick and class

Wait, so it will be possible for one class to drop and be replaced with another? What happens to skills then? Will they be converted between classes somehow, or maybe gold given back to let me pick my "build"?

I've never seen a Ranger buying Overgrowth in a co-op campaign, so let's say I'm jumping in as a Warlock to replace a Ranger, I have no money and no Life Steal Nova? (I'm guessing normally that conversion would happen, both being the "defence spell" of their respective classes.)

What we are thinking is that if a completely new player drops in they get to pick a class and they will start out with no upgrades but as much money as everyone has collected, so they will be weak until a shop is found.
If the player has already been in the game they will just drop in like you can do now with your character who has everything he had when you left and has gotten any additional money that was picked up.

That sounds logical

Mine is giving me 'failed to load level' when trying to run any game from editor. Even ones that worked previously like the Test level that comes with it? :*(

This is weird because it was working before, and now its not?

Seem to still have the issues off and on even if it's in the steamapps folder

Start with map: ..\..\..\..\..\..\name of map


How do you run in debug mode?
