Just how does your looping code look?
I take it your pew sound is just a single pew. Maybe you're trying to do timing on the sound rather relying on something more accurate like letting all the samples play out and then setting your play-cursor to the start of the sound (or whatever)

Reposting from old thread:

Yo niggas, any of you familiar with SDL-mixer?

Basically, I'm making a small shmup in SDL2. The engine is almost complete. In the last days I've implemented sound and music with SDL_mixer. Everything works as intended.

BUT!

There is one problem. Every time I fire a bullet, the game plays the relative sound effect. Now, this is not the problem, of course. The problem is that if I keep firing bullets, every 2-3 seconds I can hear a small skip in the playback. Essentially, I hear something like this:

pew---pew---pew---pew---pewpew---pew---pew---pew
A
||
(skip!)

I tried messing with every part of my engine to try and fix this irregularity. I even built and ran the game on differents OS (w7, gentoo and void linux). So far, the only thing which improved the situation was changing the SDL-mixer buffer size from 2048 to 1024. This reduced the skip, but it's still there.

I'm going mad if I don't solve this problem. Can anybody help?

Thanks for replying. My looping code looks like the one on this page, where it says
>constant game speed with maximum fps

Keep in mind that I tried changing my looping code to the one used by the vast maiority of games out there (the "fps dependent on constant game speed" option in the link above). It didn't change anything.

I'm using any Timer function whatsoever. Basically, when I press the space bar, a bullet entity is created and a message is sent to the sound system, telling it to play the relative effect with Mix_PlayChannel.

Do you keep your tilesets and objects as separate things, or do you treat them as the same?

In UE4, how do I make it so that a post-process material affects a single mesh and not fucking everything?

I already know that I need to check Custom Depth for the mesh, but what do I need to do in the material to make it do that?

That's a nice picture

>>152152691
I'm using Game Maker, and I store my tileset info entirely in a ds_grid. Then, based off that information, I draw portions of the background to the surface dynamically (so the entire map isn't drawn at the same time, and only draws what the camera needs to show) and do collisions based off my grid coordinates in relation to my tileWidth/tileHeight.

Top-left most tile is (0,0), by the way

>>152153049
>>152152691
I forgot to mention too: My levels are created in PyxelEdit (although Tiled is also a good alternative) which exports a raw text document containing an entire array of tiled level data separated by commas and linebreaks. Once I get my text parser to read that information, then it gets stored in the ds_grid.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong docs. All I can find is http://wiki.libsdl.org/CategoryAudio mix_audio.
Looking at SDL source on github I can't find playchannel..

But mixaudio seems like a very basic function that does the same thing pretty much. Maybe try that?

Alright. Just keep in mind that I'm just an intermediate GM dev, this implementation may not be the best but it should work (and that's what matters, right?)

1) Keep track of score and multiplier somewhere. Here, I'll go with a 'control' object where I'll put:
global.points = 0;
global.multiplier = 0;
when starting a level.

2) Figure out whether your score boosts are static or percentage based.
Here I'll go with percentages: 30% bonus for matching weapon and 20% bonus for point blank. I'll and apply them at the same time instead of in sequence.
That way, a matching point blank kill on a 100 points enemy gives 100 + (30 + 20)% bonus = 150, instead of (100 + 20% bonus) + 30% bonus = 157.5.

3) Define your boosts, along with the multiplier cap, using the constants/macros window (e.g. SCORE_POINTBLANK_BONUS_PERCENTAGE is 25).
Also do this for the point blank threshold that defines just how close is point blank..
If you want these values to change somehow just use regular variables in the control object.

4) If you want different enemies to grant more or less points, give each of them a 'points worth' variable.

Here's some actual code for when obj_enemy collides with obj_bullet:

Reminder to take configuration variables into consideration either before starting or at very early stages of your game's conception, lest your have to go back and rewrite hard-coded constants in controls, resolutions and other things very late into development.

mostly walking from left to right.
but the storyline is about going to a cooking contest for the best chef/foodtruck.
All the other contestants are evil , kind of like in the boyfriends in scott pilgrim vs the world.
So far I've been thinking about an american fastfood restaurant manager , a vegan bro-guy who is totally against anything meat, a sushi-chef who is totally stereotypical and offensive and the rest is still a mystery.

This is on par with Gee-man's shit.

>>152163434
Same desu. I think it's just that as you get more experienced, making things like tutorial-tier platformers, moving sprites around and jumping them and such, doesn't humor you anymore. You need something of substance to feel accomplishment. I don't think it has much to do with choice of engine.

>>152163569
I actually used to be a novelist.

I am making a VN because VNs can have gameplay that require a degree of skill, and also the ability to make choices towards the narrative that effect the narrative is important for a more personal experience. Both with in dialogue choices and choice of what NPCs you want to advance the stories of.

Does anybody have a list of platformers/platformer-like games that introduce a form of flight at some point? I know of Metroid (the 2D games with space jump, that is) and Kid Chameleon (Cyclone powerup). I'm interested in learning how I can apply flight to a platformer context better.

>>152163639
it may not be correct but people certainly find it attractive

>>152162389

>>152163742

Your uy has wings in act raiser 2.

In most games flight just means jumping higher or gliding to get to places you couldnt before. You can force the player to back track which is great for the dev since you are reusing assets.

>>152165336
it's a little late for me to be telling you think but the design on this thing is pretty weak
-even balance of proportion makes the form boring. favoring one element over the others size-wise would make the form more dynamic.
-lack of detail: the form lacks small details. if you look at a real gun, camera or drone you will see a lot of small shift in the form, material, piece transitions etc that sell the realism of your design.
-poor use of color: use color to accent the most important parts of your design. if this is an enemy, it's probably important for the player to be able to quickly distinguish which way it's looking and what sort of weapon it has. use brighter colors to draw attention to these pieces of info.

How much reference is too many references? Many of the NPC's names are references to philosophers that describe their character. There are references to greek stories, myths, historical figures.

Some examples are:
>Solomon's 72 demons
>Aleister Crowley's occult work
>Diogenes the Cynic
>Ship of Theseus
>Socrates's definition of man
>Hobbes's Leviathan & Behemoth
>The Kodoku, Worm Toxin, folklore legend

Basically at what point to references just become pretentious?

>>152166064
If the references overshadow the characters/things themselves.

If they don't feel like yours, then that's when you need to stop.

also excessive references can make you dependent and make you a shitty writer/world builder.

>>152157562
They'd have to want to be making the most mundane RPG in existence. I guess now I know what to do if someone ever asks in the future. And at the very least, working with other people in the past has conditioned me to keep my code commented well and not-spaghetti in advance, so that's the saving grace there.

>>152165185

As I thought. Very insecure.

>>152166064
A reference becomes obnoxious when someone can notice it without knowing the source.

If it's just a name or some imagery then it's fine. It gets annoying when people can notice 50% of the shit you're putting down is reference.

>>152166064
I think the occasional reference is fine, but if the majority of your characters are named after other works, it'll get very embarrassing very fast. Consider using them for inspiration, rather than direct reference.

>>152166298
In the future you should probably just ask what kind of code snippet they would like, and how much.

They don't feel that way, at least to me. They feel like the reference add understanding to the origin of certain personalities/appearances/roles, but are not needed to understand them.

The Ship of Theseus character for instance is a person looking their sense of self as portion of their body are replaced by machines, and they are approaching 100% mechanical.

>>152166168
Ah well.

>>152166652
it would have been a hit 85 our so. :P

>>152166589
Here are some examples.

One of the character's appearance and obsession with the occult is in reference to Aleister Crowley.

Solomon's Demons is the name of a research project.

Diogenes is the name of another research project.

The Ship of Theseus is mentioned >>152166589

Meh, unfortunately, your opinion means shit. Objectivity is hard to maintain and you need outside opinions.

Your example though, could go either way. Just need to release samples and see what others think.

>>152166597
None of the characters are directly names after other works except 2 of the 18. That would be Aleister's first name being reference to Aleister Crowley. The other one is a guy who has named himself Nero after the mad roman emperor.

Most of the actual direct names are in reference to Research Projects, certain technologies, or AIs. Basically things humans named and the name describes the project.

If he wrote his replies here the same way he wrote novels, he'd sound pretentious as hell. It's like how people on some TV shows don't speak the way we do in real life.

A good Christian wife must always attend mass if her husband desires so. Otherwise she's a disrespectful whore that needs punishment. That is unrealistic.

Simply amazing. What has happened that now you suddenly started to make rapid progress?

is it impossible to just start placing vertices in blender? I can't figure out how to do it. I just want to place dot after dot with a line connecting them, then, mirror, then extrude.

>One of the character's appearance and obsession with the occult is in reference to Aleister Crowley.

Fine unless you give him the pyramid hat

>Solomon's Demons
It's bland and obvious but fine.

>Diogenes and Theseus
They're overdone but it won't break your game.

>>152168101
Diogenes is overdone? I hardly ever see references to him.

I can definitely see Theseus.

>>152167916
I am a basic blender bitch and all i know is you can extrude individual verticies to pretty much do that

the quick way to become good at your language is to read up on materials to prepare you for a certification
don't get the certification because programming certs are a useless waste of money, but the training material is generally very useful

To be honest I could study a lot more and have an immensely better work ethic. so it's basically my fault for being a time wasting shitter.

but i pretty much always have an e-book open and read a bit, even if I'm wasting time shit-posting or procrastinating with other games.

A game where you're playing a videogame with a girl you're trying to stealth-bang. It's split screen with your character's perspective of the room on the left and a view of the girl on the right. You have a button to mash to concentrate on foreplay with her, and a button to mash to concentrate on the TV game you're both playing. If you're too good/bad at the game (varies based on difficulty/girl you're playing with) then her suspicion meter goes up, but her tension meter goes down if you don't pay attention to her as well. Do it correctly and as the foreplay escalates you don't need to concentrate quite as hard on the TV and you have more control over the flow of the erogame.

I've always thought about making an actual game with that concept, but I've never really found a lot of appeal in 'actual' porn games, not enough to invest in doing a vertical slice at least

you sound like a fat person who's saying ''comfortable at every size'' ,"bones are for dogs , not for men''.
They are lowering the bar to their level so they feel better.
Stop glamourizing your own flaws

>tfw no one in AGDG will ever combine forces to make a mid-sized game
I know it's implausible and a bad idea anyway, but I would like to work with a team on something I actually enjoyed, for once.
