| Nobody could. My router decided that this was the perfect time to lose all its settings. I can't get anyone to connect to me now, once again, and so I can't host any more games until I get this sorted out with my router(which may take a while because I don't even remember some of the settings). Somebody else could host one, though, if they have a static IP and no firewall/NAT interference. I could probably join one still. I need to witness the effect of lag on the client side myself, anyway. Until I get it fixed, however, I'm working on the next version...with custom skin support! With this, you can play as whoever you want in multiplayer! Right now I'm only using it to make the four Marios different colors, but I'll expand it so that you can use custom ones. Even on the internet! If whoever you're playing doesn't have the skin, they'll download it before the match starts. Now then, since the format's already figured out, you could go ahead and design a skin now.  This is the template for a skin. It's 144x112, enlarged here so you can see it. It's separated into 16x16 blocks, so it would be a good idea to use a grid in your paint program so you don't overwrite the boundaries. Other than that, just write your own graphics frames over Mario's matching frames in the template. Pure black(RGB 0,0,0) is considered transparent in the image reader, so if you do need black to show up, do as I've done with Mario's outline there and make it very very dark, but not completely black. Keep in mind that no matter what you design the skin to be, it will still handle exactly like Mario. That means you can pretty much play as anyone or anything you want. Also, it has to be in BMP format for it to work in the game. Not the PNG format that Imageshack converted this to. |

| You're not alone, Danielle. The "dude" syndrome is rampant where I live too. Too bad I'm probably just as much a part of the problem. I talk like everyone else around here. However, here in the middle in Missouri, that's not necessarily....good. My speech isn't near as proper as is my writing on message boards. If you talked to me in person, you'd probably hear a ton of slang and fillers. The biggest problem is probably those "fillers". More than half my sentences usually consist of that, making my speech more pointless mumbling than it is actual information conveyance. You know, things like "Hey dude! Dude, you know at the pool." "Yeah." "Well, ummm, I was there, see? And, OMG, I swear, I saw this dude. Well, uhh, I think it was a dude. That, ummm, hey, that's the whole point here! I couldn't tell, man! Yeah! It was freaking nuts, dude! He, or she, or whatever had boobs AND a bulge, if you know what I'm saying. "Whoa, dude! Yeah, that's some freaky shit!" If it makes you feel any better, stupid things like that are usually the kind of things that keep us entertained. We even bet 5 bucks once on what gender we thought this one dude/chick was at a restaurant! Too bad we never found out because the person who was gonna ask chickened out and the person left.

| Passive or aggressive? When it comes down to physical terms, I'm usually passive. But boy, if you get in an argument with me, I'll be pretty aggressive then. Same thing with competitions, I won't just back off. Leader or a follower? Absolute follower. If my friends didn't invite me to come do stuff, I'd probably just rot in my house every day. Large groups, small groups or by yourself? By myself. Can't trust anyone better to do my work. Unless I don't care, then I'm all with YD. I'd rather be in a large group so everyone who cares does the work while I just sit in the corner picking my nose. Chatty or silent? Chatty on the net, silent elsewhere. In real life, you will NEVER, and I mean NEVER, find me starting a conversation. |

Originally posted by Yoshi Dude Agreed 100%. It sucks. A lot. Shy people are the type that end up bagging groceries for the rest of their lives simply because they don't have enough persuasive skills to get any other job. You have to be social, outgoing, and likable to get anywhere in the world. Nobody will hire a person that can't work well with other people over someone who can. Being shy doesn't just hurt you in the business world, it hurts in almost every area of life. Dating, for instance. The saying "Nice guys finish last" should become "Shy guys finish last", because shyness/outgoingness is the #1 thing that determines your chances there(well, for guys at least. Shy girls still get picked up. For women it's attractiveness). If there's one thing I hate about my personality, it's my timidness. Severely shy people like me will be in deep shit later in life, and that's not something I'm looking forward to.

I guess this is the place to put composed music, right? It's my best guess. |
I'm been doing a few MIDIs with a freeware composing utility. Mostly stuff that could be game background music. My earlier ones probably suck more (my first five sound very alike and crappy, can you guess which ones they are?), which means there are some that are okay, some that suck, and some that bleed your ears. Well, enjoy! The titles aren't very descriptive, but hey, I write music, not names!  The List boss doom1 doom2 doom3 final forest mystery mystical puzzle round timed violin1 vs NOTE: The three "doom" pieces are all the same song, played at different speeds. That's because they were for a game's final level, and the music got faster as you got closer to beating it. There's also a few more music pieces that I didn't put up. But most of those fall under the "bleeding your ears" category.

Holy crap! 2000$? Wish I had that kind of money of spend! Course, if I did, I wouldn't spend it on music stuff. Probably PC stuff instead. |
Originally posted by DurfarC Well, my current composing utility doesn't seem to allow chords(without using an electronic keyboard, and I don't have one, so I just punch in the notes with my mouse), so maybe that IS a problem. But a "real bassline"? Tell me more.

Hmmm....Well, I'll try to include some more and differing percussion next time. I also figured out that you can do chords on my program. The problem was that I didn't know how. Still don't. Is it 3-2-3 keys apart? 2-3-2? I honestly haven't got a clue. |

Can you give me the error number? I can't know what's going on unless you tell me that. |
I also thought I saw somebody post a sprite sheet. Whatever it was, it wouldn't work though. Sprites must to 16x16 and 16x32 to work. Originally posted by Zerodius You can't do adventure mode with custom skins. It's only for multiplayer. Well, I basically stole music from many game series': Mario, Zelda, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, all of those. Then I wrote the final challenge music myself. The extra bosses' music tracks are both from the Zelda Oracle games; I thought they sounded alright. Originally posted by Zerodius I could, and probably will, add some sort of walls, fire or otherwise, to the real final boss fight. However, jumping on the guy's head over and over is meant to be able to happen. For those skilled enough, however, it can become to easy. However, just becasue skilled Mario fans find the fights too easy doesn't mean everybody else will! I installed this game at my school's computer lab, and some of them struggled with the boss fights! I did think of something else, though. That "invinciblity" thing you mentioned could happen at every fight break point(every 5 hits) so you couldn't just continue hitting the guy indefinitely. Originally posted by Zerodius That would be hell. It's so tricky to get moving on wax that it would hardly work over the internet with even slight lag.

Error 10: File does not exist |
That means you're missing one or more of the files. Reinstall it and make sure you unzip everything into the same place this time.

I sure hope to god that'll be true for me. Because I happen to know of somebody who's 30 and still very shy to this day. Still all the conditions I listed above. Still not advancing in the career world. Still never had a girlfriend. Still lives in fair reclusiveness. In fact, from what I was told, his situation was exactly like mine while in high school. So I've got a good reason to worry. |

He's the only other shy person I know, but maybe that's just because I don't know many people, being shy myself. Anyways, I have a rampant fear of fKitten Yiffer, so risk taking really doesn't work for me. |

Funny, even though I can't understand a word that's being said. |
