Yes, I've read that already, that's why I moved the project folder to Documents.

ADDED - wow, I just checked out the scripting in WME, I'm totally lost. Even the section in the WME Book Online. Can anyone recommend a better way to learn it? Maybe I should get a book, like a guide to JavaScipt? What do you think?

Yes I have the latest stable version, not the BETA.

I haven't changed any scripts, as far as I know.

Thanks.

The image in my last post is a thumbnail link, it should link to a large screenshot.

I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is, I think it has something to so with Windows Vista. I've moved the project folder to My Documents. It's no longer opening the original demo background, but now it's just black (blank).

This problem is very early on in the WME BOOK Online.

http://res.dead-code.org/doku.php

Section 1.3. Scene Editor, almost half-way down the page, it says "Ok, save the file and close it. Now in the Project Manager set the Startup Scene in Debugging settings Section to our warehouse.scene (browse for it). And let’s try our nice scene. Press f5 and walk around with molly."

I start it up by pressing F5, all that happens is I get the demo, the original demo, nothing changes. I can't figure out what I've done wrong, in fact, I started all over again, but the same thing happend when I got to this section. Here is a link to a video, it's not good quality, but you should be able to see that the debug startup scene is set to warehouse, and for the hell of it, I even changed the startup scene to warehouse.

Thank you for your time. Any help would be great.

Hi, : )

Did you add a new scene and do file save?  To add a new scene you right click on the scene folders and add a new scene, name it and then in the case of the wme project you're doing, you have to copy some contents in there.

You can then open that scene in the scene editor and make the background whatever picture it's supposed to be and place the items, like the crate and the actor and save. 

There are 2 places to set the beginning scene, one is at the very bottom on the left in that white column and the other is about in the middle in that same white column.  Set the beginning scene in those 2 places then do a file save.  Now whenever you open that "game" and do F5 you should have the game starting with your new scene. 

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, but I'm pretty sure I've done all that. Maybe it's hard to see it in the video, here is a screenshot, is there anything out of place. Also, surely just changing the 'Startup sceen' in debug mode should do it.

Game design / Re: Good 2D art tutorials?

« on: August 09, 2009, 12:25:28 PM »

Hi scutheotaku. I don't like it when no one replies to my messages, so I thought I'd post. Though I'm afraid I probably won't be of much help. I think no ones replying because the question is too general. Basically you're asking how to draw an animated character, that topic has entire sites and university courses dedicated to it. Learning to draw and/or animate takes a long time.

Some things come to mind; Look up a book called 'The Animator's Survival Kit' by Richard Williams. And I think what you're refering to are character turn arounds, like these;



And these;

The key words are turn-around. Also youtube is good for drawing tutorials.

Scripts, plugins, utilities, goodies / Re: RPG on WME

This is awesome Connway. I'm (still) a noob to Wintermute Engine, but using your battle system would be great.

You start off with 90 health, when you win and go back into battle, it resets back to 90, would it be possible to retain your previous health level? And then perhaps be able to pick up health in the rest of the game?

Also would it be possible to NOT have the perspective change when you enter battle? So you could fight an enemy just as you find them?

Thanks.

« on: June 27, 2008, 07:58:57 PM »

Hello, I was wondering if you found english speaking writers to help you?

Also, I am a big Silent Hill fan, so I'm interested in your game, how is it progressing? Does your game have a website?
