carlsson Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Actually, generally all topics under Programming are editable, except the subforums for respective contest where topics are not editable. I think we should ask an admin to enable editing for the entire contest subforum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Black_Tiger Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I love how the text scrolls. The overall fluidity and polish already feels like a major release for something like the GBC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 New features demonstrated: - keycard access required for opening certain doors - rooms inside buildings can be interconnected. - more intricate enemy patrol routes - right hand side dashboard being reworked. - able to read notices on walls - a helicopter... more to come on that 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Game is getting there... New features demonstrated below: - Elite enemies: this video shows a trooper wearing a "Kusanagi" suit, which enables intermittent cloaking. (And you thought you were the only one going invisible, heh?) - Inventory system: can be called by pressing a specific key. Provides item descriptions and allows player to equip/unequip items. Equipping some items will actually unequip others in the same "category"... for instance, only one key card can be equipped at a time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artrag Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Maybe you could simplify it allowing the sound on one single channel instead of using in turn the one which is not used by sfx or, if all are used, the one with the sound with the lowest priority (lower than the current effect)... If you use statically one channel, you have only to test if the channel is used or not and, if it is used, if priority of the new sfx if higher or not It would mean to replace lin atFX-ROM.BAS lines from 42 to 134 by just one "if" Assuming to use always C3 it would be something like: if (ayc<=ayFX_C3) then ' --- Stream will be played on channel 3 ayFX_C3 = ayc ' new ayFX stream priority saved in RAM ayFX_a3 = aya #ptr_ayFX_C3 = #ayFX_BANK(1+aya) return end if this because unused channels are with priority 255 These are explosions from MG an Zanac on msx metalgear_11.afx metalgear_12.afx metalgear_13.afx metalgear_14.afx metalgear_9.afx metalgear_10.afx zanac_12.afx Edited October 31, 2020 by artrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I managed to make it past the mine fields, and collected the level 3 battery. I also managed to find the night goggles and got through the forest levels. But the cloaking solders got me before I could get past a big gate. I think I was headed to a green truck or another helicopter. At that point, I was getting mauled! 25 times spotted, 29 times damaged, and 1 objective completed. Still weak sauce!??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made excellent progress, and thank you for sticking to it and playing again and again! How did passing through that mine field go? Anything to report? "Weak sauce" just seems unfair given your progress. I feel like I need to fine tune the rating system as part of the next update. FYI, the math I have in place is this: - each objective completed gives you a 25% rating boost - each time you are spotted, and every point of damage you take removes 1% from the rating. So your score was 25% - 25*1% - 29*1% = -29%. Since I'm not allowing ratings to be negative, it got capped at 0%. "Weak sauce" is the label for when your rating falls within the 0-20% range. So getting to 100% requires not only completing all objectives, but also being undetected throughout the game. Maybe I should lessen the penalty from being spotted and getting injured. If you have any suggestions, I'm open. Edited November 4, 2020 by cmadruga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
