Could I get somebody to help me with sorting a code problem?

[MaynardStaly]

Hi guys, I'm well on the way with the engine/stencil to my first game wth FC2.5. I'm wondering if I could upload the skeleton (without the many media) to somebody here who could assist with going through and seeing where there are errors and kinda fine tune some parts if one thinks that some events could be looped for speed etc. I'm getting far too much lag but can't find a way to find out which/what has caused it. I keep getting frozen out and runtime crashes. If somebody has a good method (not too complicated or time consuming) to appease this frustration then I'll see about sorting it myself, but I'm scratching at tables. I am severely visually impaired so can often miss things so I apologize in advance if there is an active or something to help with error checking.
Also, it there or has there ever been an issue with having internet browsers open whilst using CF2.5?

One thing is for sure... if you upload your MFA file, people will look at it and give advice...

I don't think i've ever heard of anyone with issues from a Fusion app causing a browser to open unintentionally.

Cheers for quick response, Tuna. I'll upload the mfa ASAP with this... but the problem isnt the browser opening randomly or anything... that was a seperate thing. I'm getting frozen out on my browser every time I'm trying to work on my project. I have it open in the background listening to audio books and such. Is that something to do with adobe flash player being an arse?
No the code and the lag in the game is the major frustration Linking it. Much Cheers.

Link to MFA - apparently too large for here. The one title LCE sprite engine...

***Also feel free to download and play the sodoff kitty game I made with adventure maker. It was only a piss about but there weren't enough features to support an RPG. (Though be warned, it's not for kids and is the 5th episode of a net animation on my channel.

MISTAKE! I uploaded the old copy of the file by accident. Same name different folder. Here is the engine link: It has more sprite animation etc. http://1drv.ms/1z7Q5IU

*Edit when testing, for some reason you have to press shift to make the character jump before the control starts too. Dunno what that's about.

If anybody can find what's wrong with it so far and get me back on track, I'd be hella grateful. Even give em a wee shout out in one of my next shows. If somebody is looking at it can you PM me and let me know so I can remove it from my public drive?

So it's been four days. I could really do with a pro having a looki here. Please! 165+ people have seen it one person must have advice. Just what could be looped and what's causing the errors and the lag? I posted the MFA as I was advised.

I did have a look, but had trouble installing one of the extensions, this could be the reason why you haven't had any replies. I can't remember what the extension was, but it is not listed in the fusion extension manager. If you could link to the missing extension then this would be useful.

[MaynardStaly]

ah reet. Cheers for the response, Jay73. Do you have the extension title? The file says it uses the following which I installed from the clickteam extension manager...
INI++
Cursor
Perspective
Physics engine
Physic Particles.

The following shaders
Duel glow
drop shadow
hueshift
heathaze

Also could you tell me how to remove an extension from your data? I have not used the heathaze or the hue shift yet as I can't get the colorizer to work so for now I just wanna remove them from my application.

Cheers. If I know the extension which doesnt work and I can remove or upload it I will in the morning. Peace!

[jay73]

It is the inventory extension. To remove it you just need to select the extension in your frame(s) and press the delete key on your keyboard.

[MaynardStaly]

#Deleted the inventory object. Recently learned the basics of arrays so gonna try it with artwork and arrays instead. Cheers for having a look, Jay! Seriously. It's still lagging especially at the start. I'm guessing a running loop has gone wrong somewhere along the lines.

ERRORS NOTICED:
1. When the game starts press shift to jump: For some reason the controls don't kick in otherwise.
2. When game starts, cursor object won't jump frames with wheel: you have to die and respawn then it will work. Walk into one of the squares, (enemies) bleed out and die then right click the Suixxie avatar on the lower left of the screen to respawn.
3. LAG! lag makes the backpack object displace from the sprite and.. yeah... lag!

Controls:
Shift: Jump Ctrl: Crouch (press same or right mouse to stand up) Wheel up and down operated the tool menu in the cursor.
CTRL: Hold down to aim and you'll see a highlight appear, press return to change weapons (not yet programmed in visually) /press middle button for special power.

Wheeling to the cog icon (work icon) on the cursor and clicking right whilst stood on a dig hole will dig.
Right mouse click whilst on:
Cursor- hand: Pickup
Axe: (Over wood box) Chops

I finally got my poser 8 working so I'm gonna be redesigning the sprite to incorporate more of an aerial 45 perspective eventually. Just trying to finish the whole engine.
