I have now added the dll's and put all the files in a ZIP folder. Thank's for pointing that out.

Very nice.
Any explosions are there?

The game has potential but nearly everything I do crashes it.

Hold and draging the remover tool can cause crashing.
Holding CTRL and right+left click can cause random crashing.

Also, loading the wheels takes quite a long time.

[Chopper123]

I find this game pretty fun. Few things to work on though. Sometimes i randomly get GM errors. In the game I can keep jumping forever, make it so u can jump once, and maybe another time in midair, (double jump) and than just fall. Also, when i make a rope bridge (hang a rope between 2 props) and put weights on it, the rope will detatch itself for a few seconds than jump back to where it was, being attached to the prob, and letting what ever objects fall through that hole.
And when i create a drivable wheel, and than remove it, i get a windows error, which crashes the game (i use windows XP).
All together it is a very fun game, and has ALOT of potencial.
I can't wait untill u add more props, and extended maps.

thx,
Chops

Lots of undefinted variable errors, usually with an 'h' object.
A semi-good physics engine, it could use a little more user-friendliness, it was taking me forever just to figure out how to properly make a car.

Several undefined errors as well, when trying to make a powered wheel, or something of that sort.(player controlled.)

Yeah it's been having a few handle(h) errors. But it hardly ever get any... The powered wheel has never given me any problems apart from deleting it, and that has been fixed for the next update. I will look into it but right now i would recommend just using thrusters until the next update.
EDIT fixed for next update!
I have added a (not to good) tutorial on making a car in the help file for the next update. Press F1 to see it.

In the game I can keep jumping forever, make it so u can jump once, and maybe another time in midair, (double jump) and than just fall.

I will have added double jump limit + wall jumping for next update.

And when i create a drivable wheel, and than remove it, i get a windows error, which crashes the game (i use windows XP)

.
I have fixed that for the next update.

Also, when i make a rope bridge (hang a rope between 2 props) and put weights on it, the rope will detatch itself for a few seconds than jump back to where it was, being attached to the prob, and letting what ever objects fall through that hole.

The ten ton weights are heavy enough to distort rope. I have made them half the weight for the next update.

Hold and draging the remover tool can cause crashing.
Holding CTRL and right+left click can cause random crashing.

The problem with dragging the remover is that you are probable dragging it over powered wheels or props connected with springs. In the next update you can delete powered wheels and objects connetcted with springs.

Also, loading the wheels takes quite a long time.

The MT wheels? They are very unstable and glitchey and have been fixed for the next version.

Thanks for all your positive feedback!

VERSION 0.4 RELEASED
All Above glitches fixed

VERSION 0.5 RELEASED

[Chopper123]

sounds great! One last thing. The walls are sticky. When you jump on them, and keep pressing the arrow key into them, than u will bounce back and forth slightly, and VERY slowly move down the wall.
Might be something else you would like to fix.
Its a great game already! Nice job!

[cooldudetb]

Thanks!
I'll try fixing the stickiness of the walls but I might not be able to.

Normally I'd make a game and love it, then give it up 2 hours later.
But every time I get positive feedback it gives me motivation not just to give up.

Please remember to rate or review!

version 4 and 5 were released and have fixed all these glitches.

I'm hoping to add a custom sprite loading tool and redo the whole Ctrl Menu for 0.6

nobody's rated yet...

PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE AFTER PLAYING

[Chopper123]

Oh, i didn't notice the new versions! im dling right now.
I also reviewed the game for you.
I gave it 3 stars overall, and it could possible be a 4 or 5 with some sounds.

Sounds will be added soon. Maybe not 0.6, but 0.7.

If you could specify any random errors then I might be able to fix them.

[Chopper123]

I don't seem to get them anymore =] ill edit review. Good job!
A few suggestions and questions tho;
How do i reverse the powered wheel?
Maybe add brakes to the wheel.

[cooldudetb]

How do i reverse the powered wheel?
Maybe add brakes to the wheel.

Hold numpad . and press the wheel's command key (numpad key specified)
It's in the help.
Brakes... Good idea. I might add wheel breaking later.

Oh and by the way, a story is almost impossible

New Ctrl Menu out now! More user-friendly!

Please rate as well as review!

VERSION 0.6 OUT NOW

I know a story mode is almost impossible for a game like this, but i can't really give you 5 stars for a story mode that doesn't exist. Maybe add quatation marks around the key that you are talking about, because in some areas the help is hard to understand, as the "." in the help for reverse just looks like part of the sentance.

I agree just leave it with 1 star.

'.' I'll change that for the next version.

That was very fun, a little good operating sandbox. I hope to see more functions in the future. I did find a bug, if you attach a lazer pointer to an abject, their depth becomes massive and they are in front of explosions and the ctrl menu.
