Title: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: Minimi on Mon 31/05/2004 14:27:49
This is the thread in wich I will keep updating all new things I make. That could be games, open sources, gui, spritepackages, midi, sounds, and more... Everything is free for download, but if you use something for your own use, just give me credit, and it's ok :)
I hope there is some helpful stuff inbetween. If you click on a banner, you go to it's info page, or direct download.

You do know that treasure is spelt TREASURE, no?

And what is the "Bugger" game about? The mind boggles!
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: Minimi on Mon 31/05/2004 14:56:41
crap, I didn't know about treasure! I should really fix that! ;)

Bugger is a platform/action game. You need to avoid the bugs falling down, by jumping around. Here's a screenshot :

Couldn't you just make your own website than use the forums?

No this thread is alright, but since this givaway thing seems to be something that more people could possibly do, perhaps it could be combined into one MEGA RESOURCE THREAD!

I agree with LGM's logic.

Minimi, if you've got a website, how come you're posting all your resources here?

Tell us the method behind your madness so we may understand.
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: SSH on Mon 31/05/2004 17:15:51
As it says when you post:

Three golden rules:
1. Is your post interesting, helpful or funny? If not, don't post it.
2. Post in a mature manner. Remember, the minimum age here is 16 - if you're unable to act that age, don't post.
3. If you're not a moderator, don't pretend to be one. If a thread needs to be moved or locked, the moderators will deal with it.

On the other hand, I'd recommend, Minimi that you exchange links with junc' s site, which has a bunch of resources too (and no-one complained about him posting) and maybe instaGame as well. Maybe you can start and AGS resources web ring!

Also, Minimi, I recommend you look a Webster's Revised unabridged dictionary:

bugger

\Bug"ger\, n. [F. bougre, fr. LL. Bulgarus, a Bulgarian, and also a heretic; because the inhabitants of Bulgaria were infected with heresy. Those guilty of the crime of buggery were called heretics, because in the eyes of their adversaries there was nothing more heinous than heresy, and it was therefore thought that the origin of such a vice could only be owing to heretics.] 1. One guilty of buggery or unnatural vice; a sodomite.

So you've basically named your game after Vel...

But I'm not pretending to be a moderator. I was simply curious as to why Minimi posted all his resources onto the forum instead of a link to his website with the same resources. I didn't accuse him of violating forums rules or anything else. I was simply asking a question in order to gain some enlighenment.

As for junc, well, I'm asking the same question now. I'm wondering why all this sudden posting of open sources and resources.

I mean, doesn't it seem a little... odd... to you?
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: SSH on Mon 31/05/2004 17:27:26
Why not copy some of his website info here, too? People do the same in the Games in Production forum and it saves them clicking a link..

And I won't complain if people post lots of helpful resources here. I mean, people post lots of links to silly flash animations, 20 questions sites and moan about their birthday presents. At least this post is potentially useful. I mean, why did I contribute a savegame with screenshots tutorial to Vel's ezine? Why does anyone make a free game?

It seems like a strange question to ask... do you suspect that junc and Minimi are controlled by George Lucas and are trying to undermine the whole amateur adventure community by some evil secret code hidden in their contributions?  ;D
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: DGMacphee on Mon 31/05/2004 17:37:46
Now you're just being silly.

All I'm saying is it seems a little redundant to post all your resource links when you've got webspace. That's why I wondered if there was some other reason why people were posting this kind of stuff directly to the forums.

It's just a simple, polite inquiry, SSH. I don't see what the big deal is in asking it.
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: SSH on Mon 31/05/2004 17:47:43
To give it publicity, obviously. Why do you announce games here when you've added them to the games page and got your own website? Becasue you want people to use them!

And yes, I admit I was being silly. Here is some more sillyness:

STFU n00b, you can't stop my free speech, etc.

But isn't that overdoing it?
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database

Overdoing it from which point of view? Do you mean Minimi has spent too much time creating this thread, or that you had to spend too much time reading it, or that it uses too much bandwidth, or that you're fed up of hearing about the stuff so much that you're put off trying it thus backfiring?

btw, did Minimi give you some money to keep his thread at the top of the forum, too, or are you enjoying the cut and thrust of the debate  ;)
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: Minimi on Mon 31/05/2004 18:03:13
Ok stop it DGmacphee...

I posted these resources simply for the reason SSH already mentioned. Publicity. Yes, I do have my own website... but not many people go there, and still there are new members who want some useful stuff to use. So I followed the example of junc.
Sorry, if I gave anyone the wrong impression with this, but it's in no way my intension to bore you, with useless threads. I really think this could be helpful to someone new.
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: DGMacphee on Mon 31/05/2004 18:13:54
Whoa, you're getting the wrong idea here, guys.

First of all, SSH, I'm not too sure what you're on about, possibily because you're speaking some kind of retardese.

I politely asked Minimi why he was posting his stuff here. Publicity, sure, I can understand that. But suddenly, you're accusing me of pretending to be a moderator. I'm being polite and not condemning Minimi for his decision to post here. I merely made an observation about both Minimi and juc's recent decision to post. I don't see why you have to resort to accusations and retarded crap about George Lucas and being paid of by Minimi. I don't see why you have to act so retsrded when all I'm doing is just showing interest in what Minimi is doing.

Minimi: Read above. Like I said, I'm not condemning you. Just merely interested. And now that SSH is being an idiot, I regret even asking the question in the first place.

And with that, I leave this thread.
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: juncmodule on Mon 31/05/2004 18:20:45
The only problem I see with this is that it appears your "games" are included too. Are they open source? Because that's not a resource, that's pimping your games.

Everything in my thread has the source available, and it was the first time I ever released all of the source. So it was something new. I even considered starting the thread in the completed games forum. This appears to be a collection of your work which has already been released elsewhere. I'm not saying it's bad, I just think you should perhaps remove anything that actually isn't a resource (the games without source code).

Other than that I would have to agree with SSH. This is a good trend, lots of people releasing resources. On the other hand, the points I made above also make DG's agruement valid.

later,
-junc

It was a joke about George Lucas, for goodness sake. And the moderator stuff was more aimed at LGM who obviously hadn't noticed that Minimi DID have a website. I didn't accuse anybody of anything.

Read above. I didn't condemn anyone, I just wanted to pre-emptively stop the thread turning into a "how dare you fill up the forums with this" type of thing. And all I did was politely answer your questions, albeit with some silly jokes thrown in.

It seems weird that you blow up about this now and start calling me names. You've had your question answered by me and from the horses mouth then you attack me and say you won't post more in the thread... and you still haven't said what you mean by "overdoing it"

Why so much fuss about a thread which could be really usefull? Why don't you bitch about nonsense "guess what I got for my b'day" threads? I don't get it... BTW: It's really nice of you, minimi, good job.
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: DGMacphee on Mon 31/05/2004 21:20:53
We sorted the situation privately. It was the result of a misunderstanding between SSH and myself.

So, carry on with the normal business, folks.

Yo minimi - i'm considering using your wooden gui in a cowboy game - that's cool isn't it?
Of course you will get full credit.
I just can't be bothered to make my own! :(
:D

EDIT: this should probably go in the tech forum - but perhaps i can get a quick fix here.....
I downloaded your cool wooden gui - but i'm dumb and don't know how to put it in a game - i have added it to gui list - so it's on the ags engine - and when i start my game the 'new game' 'load game' screen comes on - but there's no gui at the bottom of my game when i play... any ideas?
sorry if it's dumb. ??? ::)

Post by: Minimi on Wed 02/06/2004 18:23:12
It's cool to here someone is going to use my GUI in his game! It's good ofcourse... with credit ;) Here is some things that could help you out!

- The only problem I can think of, is that you are using 320x200 resolution. I made this one for 320x240, so it appears at 200 till 240. If you want to show it, set the Y-position of 0:WOODGUI, to "160"!

furthermore, you could just delete 2:INTRO if you have no use of it.
and also, if you don't want to show the gui at a certain point, type as action

GUIOff(0);

or...
GUIOn(0);


Good luck with your game!
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: Johnny Odd on Thu 03/06/2004 13:16:29
thanks - that works now - Of course full cred will be given :D
Now all i gotta do ius resize my b.g's  ... damn - one more thing... how do i change the credits to tell people info on the game ( don't worry - you'll still be on there!)
I'm guessing it'll be some kinda script - i'm pretty new at scripting... very new actually!

P.S I know this shoulda been on tech forum - but the first half of conversation was on this thread anyway - so sorry!! :(
Title: Re: Solidus Software - Resources Database
Post by: Minimi on Thu 03/06/2004 14:21:09
Goto "GUIs", and click the edit script. In that script you see somewhere written the phrases between "", like "Graphics : Johnny Odd" ... so just change the text between there.

Bytheway, you do not HAVE to resize your backgrounds. You could also make that the GUI is hidden, and when the mouse is on the bottom, it pops up. I'll see if I can edit this, and private message you about it ;)
