Picture stacking for the front page



Could we have a feature which ''stacks'' latest screenshots? Suppose a user decides to upload 8 pictures for his game, instead of flooding the whole front page, he could pick which picture of his stack would go on top (would be visible on the front page) and the rest would be available by clicking the stack?

This would allow more variety of games in the screenshots and just encourage quality of quantity. This example above is pretty silly, the screens all look the same, why upload 8 of them?

Funky Weapon and Armor Ideas

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some funny/original weapon and armor ideas for Slimongo.

So far I've got:

Weapon:
-Boxing Glove

Armor:
-Underwear
-Chef Har
-Friday 13th mask

I'd like to hear you guys idea, the more original the better. It should still be considered a weapon though. If possible, it should be a weapon which is not really emblematic to other games such as overalls for Mario or the baseball bat for Earthbound.

Looking forward to reading your creative ideas! If I take one of your ideas, you'll have a small cameo in the actual game (your name or your project).

Thanks,

Giving Away Graphic Tablet

Hideliho, it's been a while. I was sucked in by the new feature game :).

Anyways, on to business.

I bought a new graphic tablet and decided to give my old one away. It's a bamboo and it definitely is second hand but it certainly is better than using the mouse.

All you have to pay for is the shipping and I'll take care of the rest. I live in Quebec, Canada. So I'm guessing it would be better if your destination wouldn't be too far from mine.

I'd normally offer this at Oniromancie but since they all live in France shipping wouldn't be worth it.

I'll give it to anyone who's interested.

Bowing Out 2

Yes indeed, the time has come.

I was actually considering just never coming back but I thought it would be kind of rude so… :)

Although my time on RMN was rather brief, it was an enjoyable experience all things considered. The mechanics at work at RMN are just plain awesome, the best on the net, me thinks.

I'll delete my project from the database right after this message. I will keep the account open however if only to host the games I've translated. Those games should stay (as I don't actually own them per se).

As for why I'm leaving, for those who'd like to know:

Generally speaking, I disagree with the ‘'anything goes'' mentality which is predominant at RMN. This is often for the best but also often for the worst. I believe that this is what almost brought RMN on the brink of annihilation when WIP was in charge of the website and also believe that this will cause some more trouble in the near future. I'm not saying that it's shit, I'm just saying that it goes against what I believe in.

I was willing to give a lot of my free time to deal with some of the most outrageous manifestations of disrespect at RMN but never really had the impression that this ever was a concern for anyone, administration included. I'm often voiced my opinion about this with little to no impact (more like no noticed impact). Hell, the code of conduct is still gathering dust and spiderwebs in the staff section >__<''.

I was also disillusioned about the decision making process at work at RMN. As it turns out, decisions weren't made as democratically as I would have expected/wanted. This is also something that goes against what I believe in.

The $ subscription system made me make my final decision (not because I think it's wrong, by the way, quite the opposite). I didn't feel comfortable using a website without contributing financially to its survival. I didn't feel this was fair considering I used the website quite often. I also didn't want to financially contribute for a website I was losing interest for day by day.

I do believe that if you don't like a place, you can either try to change your environment or change environment altogether (be the changes you would like to see to quote Kentona). As I didn't manage to change my environment, I've decided to go somewhere else entirely.

Adios!

PS: I'm going to lock this thread as I doubt I'll be back to read possible replies (not that it would make a difference anyway).

The Front Page

Hello fellow members,

I would like to know your opinion about the front page. What I'm looking for is for as many opinions as possible, some sort of extensive survey if you will.

The Front Page has been the source of much debate in the past (when Ciel created a discussion thread about the issue a few months back). Since there will be some important updates soon to come, I would like to specifically discuss the blogs and the latest game.

Here are my questions:
1. Do you think that there should be a cool-down period before being allowed to blog again? Yes or no? If so, how long do you consider would be reasonable?
If you are against specific rules regarding blogging, would you be for or against guidelines?

2. Do you think there should be a cool-down period before updating games? Yes or no? If so, how long do you consider would be reasonable?

I would appreciate if you could share your comments free of sarcasm or demeaning wit. The objective is not so much to start a debate as to get the pulse of as much as the community as possible about this, everyone is entitled their opinion.

Graphic Tablet

I'm currently considering buying a new graphic tablet as a special treat because, well, I never spend money on anything. I currently have a 8'x5' Bamboo which I got for about 80$. I'd be willing to invest up to 200$ in a new tablet and would like to know your suggestions. I'm considering the ''Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium Pen & Touch Graphics Tablet'' right now but I couldn't find information about pressure sensitivity.

What was your choice? How much did you invest and was it worth it?

Movie Suggestions...

Howdy,

I would like to hear your suggestions for good movies to watch. I've already watched hundreds but I haven't watched a good one in ages. The last good movie I saw was 13 assassins (Jûsan-nin no shikaku) directed by Takashii Miike. It was pretty awesome and I would recommend it for anyone who likes Samurai movies.


It's funny because the movie made me cringe just like ''The Audition'' did, one of the sickest movie I've ever seen. I only realized later that they were from the same director. I would strongly recommend ''The Audition'' for people looking for new experiences, it truly is disturbing, even more so than ''Lost Highway'' or ''Mulholland Drive''.


I'm pretty open minded and would be willing to watch just about anything. I'm especially interested in foreign movies (in original language with subtitles) as well as the underdogs (like Kent Park).

Creation Custom Crafts: Craving Criticism

I decided I would create a thread of my own to put my custom tileset creations.


I'd like some feedback about this. Anything at all.

I need the pine tree to match the graphical of this tree (edit by Alterego):


[VX]Displaying Icons

This might be very simple but I can't figure it out.

I manage to display icons in dialogue boxes but can't do so in the Databse/terms/parameters

This is what happens:


Could explain to me how I could make the \IC function work everywhere in my game?

I'm using the following script to display icons in my game:
#==============================================================================

# ** Window_Message
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This message window is used to display text.
#==============================================================================
class Window_Message

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Convert Special Characters
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
alias crea_convert_special_characters convert_special_characters
def convert_special_characters
crea_convert_special_characters
@text.gsub!(/\\IC\[([0-9]+)\]/i) { "\x09[#{$1}]" }
end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Update Message
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update_message
loop do
c = @text.slice!(/./m) # Get next text character
case c
when nil # There is no text that must be drawn
finish_message # Finish update
break
when "\x00" # New line
new_line
if @line_count >= MAX_LINE # If line count is maximum
unless @text.empty? # If there is more
self.pause = true # Insert number input
break
end
end
when "\x01" # \C[n] (text character color change)
@text.sub!(/\[([0-9]+)\]/, "")
contents.font.color = text_color($1.to_i)
next
when "\x02" # \G (gold display)
@gold_window.refresh
@gold_window.open
when "\x03" # \. (wait 1/4 second)
@wait_count = 15
break
when "\x04" # \| (wait 1 second)
@wait_count = 60
break
when "\x05" # \! (Wait for input)
self.pause = true
break
when "\x06" # \> (Fast display ON)
@line_show_fast = true
when "\x07" # \< (Fast display OFF)
@line_show_fast = false
when "\x08" # \^ (No wait for input)
@pause_skip = true
when "\x09" # \IC[n] (show icon)
@text.sub!(/\[([0-9]+)\]/, "")
draw_icon($1.to_i, @contents_x, @contents_y)
@contents_x += 24
else # Normal text character
contents.draw_text(@contents_x, @contents_y, 40, WLH, c)
c_width = contents.text_size(c).width
@contents_x += c_width
end
break unless @show_fast or @line_show_fast
end
end

end

RPG Maker VX: Speech Bubbles

I would like for the text in my game to appear in speech bubbles like in a comic book.

Could anyone help me out with this please?
