Any chance i can get a gm 6?

Ah well you down have to because ill be back on my windows 98 by tomarrow so nvm...(but i garranty some people will want this)

Im ganna test the exe though, looks pretty good!

[mike0281]

thats a nice engine edmunn but you said eletricity twice! XD

[Games]

Nice one edmunn..

Ultimate test. You know basically everything has moving platform technology..

Could you make the pushable block have the ability to bounce?
Or make it possible to pull it, with a certain keyboard key of course.

Seems like a good idea, im working on slopes and sprite angles at the moment though, so i may add that to my todo list.

[mememe]

I really want to test it but I have GM6 Reg. Could you make it GM6 as well?

[edmunn]

I no longer have GM6, sorry. But i have included an EXE in the zip remember

[[M]edieval]

Heh, very obvious that you have been playing Jumper a lot . Very good engine. Too bad about not having GM6 though.

Heh if someone wants to change it to gm6, be my guest =P

And I've made a small update, now includes switching spikes and falling spikes.

[SquareWheel]

Very nice engine. It seems very complete and polished, people could really use this.

[edmunn]

Thankyou, anymore comments in which i can improve this engine?

[jedi_man]

Hmm... I'll turn it into a gm6 for you guys.

[Element_TJ]

This is one of the better platform engines that I've seen.
The only problem I'm having is the FPS. I think it may be
Vista because I just upgraded. Other games work fine.
Any suggestions to how I could improve the speed?

I run at about 10FPS in small rooms or big.
Oblivion runs faster than this...

Holy cow, how old is your computer?
Mine runs at 60 FPS constantly.

[Element_TJ]

Holy cow, this computer is brand new!
I bought it a hallf a year ago for $1000.
You'd think a GFX card with 128mb of
memory would run something this simple...
Hmm... I thought it had 256. I'm getting a
new one anyways. Two 8800GS's.
That, and a 64-bit dual core...
Agh. I'll just give you the specs.

[edmunn]

hmm ok, ill add a function to change the SFX on electricity and things.

[[M]edieval]

You could add wall and skid jumping.

[Element_TJ]

What would you need to change the effects
for? I don't think that's what is slowing my
computer down. I kinda think it is Vista.
Other games run just fine though. And also,
with or without the electricity, it still runs slow.

I've been testing some stuff. A room with nothing
but the menu gives me 60. A room with one block
gives me 60. I outline the room in blocks.
It gives me 30. I add the player. It gives me about
22. I add a moving block. It gives me 21. I add a
super and a follower. Same. This is a 640x480 room.
That's all. I add two verticle and two horizontal
electricities. Same... I add one block, one crate, one
switch, one door. 19-20 FPS. Weird huh?
I can't figure it out.

Amazing engine, I love it!

[edmunn]

Thankyou for the comment. Just incase anyone cares, i have perfected the slopes, and am fixing some door bugs, so expect a new version soon!
