Newbie Issue (catch the fruit tutorial)

[JC_LEON]

Hi, I bought the book AWESOME GAME CREATIONS 3RD EDITON (J Darby) and when I was trying to make 1st tutorial (alien wars) today after I saved and reopened the project MMF2 doesnt open any file or project so I assumed It war because MMF2 was demo and now I'm going to buy MMF2 personal..
But what I want to know is IF with MMF2 I can do a survival 2d game with an open world setting like project zomboid projectzomboid.com where player can:
1)Harvest tree’s, berries, gold mines, etc.. using appropriate tools.
2) Build campfires, electric fences, portable generators, Molotov cocktails,barricate itself, etc.
3) Find survivors and learn from them, unless you got them killed.
4) Find food & water so he doesnt starve, protect his goods from bandit’s etc

I know it is an immense project but what I want to know is if I can use MMF2 and its event diot to have that or if I can use a more complex tool like Game maker etc..

thanks

JC_LEON, if it's 2D, then there is a 99% chance that MMF2 can do it. The things you listed sound very much possible in MMF2 at that, though it might take a little while to learn how to do them.

is not a problem for me spend time to learn how to make all features i need..I guess I can do them with mmf2 or mmf2.5 and form me is enough

Certain issues of Clickdisk come with exclusive extensions, but not all of them. I personally don't have any. Here are a few objects that I advise you download, though:

Surface object (temporary download link while Clickteam.info is down): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80112437/Surface.zip

Tile map object (also temporary download link until Clickteam.info is back up): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...37/TileMap.zip

ForEach object (you'll need to register your copy of MMF2 to download it from the link I provided, as it was uploaded in the MMF2 owner's lounge (which will also let you access beta versions of MMF2)): http://community.clickteam.com/threads/82853-For-Each-Extension

These were the first ones that came to mind. I'm sure there are more good ones (I personally have more, I think), but these are a good starting point.

thanks for your reply and links

by the way I downlaoded bonus pack 1 & 2 and z33z Exstension AND all stuff form clickteam /resources too http://www.clickteam.com/resources

I must install them or are included in my mmf2 yet??

[JC_LEON]

solved , I installed everything but for soud pack first teo ( 1 & 2) are in my library folder when I search for sounds but 3,4,5 there arent..why?

@ happygreenfrog

I downloaded links you posted but for ForEach object I have not permission to downlaod.. so what I have to do to registr my copy of MMF2? any link ??

and I simply put extensions I downlaoded in extension folder in MMF2?

[happygreenfrog]

This is where you register products so you can access the owner's lounge: http://community.clickteam.com/usercp.php

And you put the extensions that don't have installers in the same folder as MMF2 (something like "C:/Program Files/Multimedia Fusion Developer 2/" (it will be "Program Files (86x)" if your computer is a 64-bit computer)). Simply extract the two or three or so folders (they should be called something like "extensions", "data", and, for some of them, "examples"), and not their contents, and then it will put them in the folders and sub-folders of the correct name for you (it's why the folders are named that way in the first place). For the ones that do have installers, simply run the installer, and it will handle everything for you.

THANKS I registered my product and i downloaded foreach extension ..thaks again

bit sorry for my noobish but vI didnt uderstand very well for extension without setup

for example.. I downladed Surface .zip extension ..after I extracted it I have a surface folder with 2 subfolders named "data" and "extensions"..so what I have to do now..put the entire surface folder in C:\programs(x86)\Multimedia Fusion 2 folder OR I have to put every single subfolder (in this case "data" and "extensions") into relative subfolders in MMF2??

any idea because soundpack 3,4,5 files doesnt appear in my lib??

[happygreenfrog]

I don't know about the sound packs (as I don't have them), but I think you need to copy and paste the two sub-folders in the surface folder (data and extensions) over to "C:/Program Files (x86/Multimedia Fusion 2" (or whatever the folder you installed MMF2 in is), then delete the surface folder. I wasn't aware that the surface object would extract like that, sorry about the confusion.
