You're using the old engine.

[Mecha the Slag]

no. I just downloaded it from the first post.

[RetroXYZ]

That was the old engine. This is the new one.

[Mecha the Slag]

why would you put an old one in the first post.

anyways same problem



and moving up/down slopes is wierd. Its like he gains speed when he is moving up a slope. What.

[RetroXYZ]

Okay, I've removed the really steep slopes since they were causing all of my problems, and it doesn't really make sense to have them anyways.

The slope problem is fixed, and I've added some brick blocks.

First post updated.

[SuperCapeMario]

Mario can break brick blocks by falling down the side of them.

[RetroXYZ]

Agh, I forgot that glitch. Anyways, I've fixed that, added sprites, and raccoon mario. It may be hard to notice in the small space, but gravity is actually a bit smaller when run-jumping with a leaf.

I'll implement invisible blocks and a few others next update.

[Ultramario]

Sometimes when you're facing left and jump, you move to the left without the need to press left and getting stuck to slopes and blocks is still pretty common.

[SuperCapeMario]

Jumping on the spot while holding the run key, your sprite is the run jump; I think it should be the normal jump.

[RetroXYZ]

Okay, so I'll add in speed checker as opposed to checking the run key. And... blocks? I understand slopes, but blocks? I need a screenshot to believe that.

[Ultramario]

Because screenshot doesn't really prove anything

[RetroXYZ]

=/

Well, I thought I turned off precise collisions on blocks. >_<

Damnit, Game Maker is glitching again.

[Ultramario]

Blocks aren't perfect squares, that's the problem.

Use masks.

But I turned off precise collision checking! It uses the Bounding Box, not the sprite!

[RetroXYZ]

Okay, I've updated it. Slopes are 90% perfect, but inform me of bugs. I've also added invisible blocks and made a better test map. Next version will feature a HUD and more sprites, along with more blocks.

[RetroXYZ]

I really hate to triple post, but I've updated it and want to avoid getting this topic near the bottom of the page so I won't have to make a new topic.

Anyways, collisions have been perfected, sprites have been fully implemented, and I've added in a placeholder HUD. The HUD doesn't do anything right now, but at least it's there.

First post updated.

[SuperCapeMario]

When you run up the steep right slope the character stays in his standing sprite.

Otherwise good, but the leaf seems to fall a little bit too fast and unaturaly.

[RetroXYZ]

That's only running. In the next version, I'll change slope movement to feel more natural.

And the leaf... unnaturally? What exactly do you mean? I can lower the speed if you want, but is that what you mean?

[SuperCapeMario]

It seems to turn too quickly and it is a bit too fast.

[RetroXYZ]

I think I've fixed the leaf, but not entirely sure.

Either way, updated. Added sprites, implemented the HUD, star blocks, sprite effects, and things like that.
