Just downloaded it: First thing I noticed, the executable is 77MB? How the hell did you do that? Mine never got above 7MB o_O. That made the game load TERRIBLY slow.

You can just load these files from the data folder, which would make the game use ALOT less RAM (Currently using 2GBs of RAM already, and it's still loading).

And he probably misunderstood the "planned" features for released features.

EDIT: Its been loading for like 10+ minutes now. ( Running an AMD FX-8120 @ 4.5ghz, 8GB RAM @ 1866 mhz, and a geforce gt630 2GB @ 1300mhz )

On my PC it's loading for 1 or 2 mins.

If you have an idea how to "change" or "fix" that, write it down here.

U should know that, that graph like in DO (32 imgs per ship) takes a lot of memory ...

I'm waiting for ideas ...

For all the alien sprites you can just use globals, and import them with their .res/.gmspr from data folder. And for that laser bug; I see something in the log files concerning the drones. You should just set lasers to 1 instead of 2. And Stop the drones from looking at your target. That'll fix the cubikon bug.

For the backgrounds;
Download: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] place it in /data folder
and change the 2nd script event from room start in Backgrounds object into;
Code:

It's actually really easy; Create a background, save it as a .gmbck file. Then just change the name to .res. Same goes for the sprites. You can change the HUD images with that too by renaming the .res to .gmspr -> edit -> save as .gmspr -> change to .res again.

EDIT: Too bad I lose my source file, I could've helped you with some stuff. ( Like ranks, galaxy gates etc )

If i need help i will write to you :)

Ranks isn't hard to add ;) I just need to add EXP and HON and calculate rank poits with specific formula like:
Code:
rank_points = EXP/100000+HON/100+LV*100+ship_type_numb*1000

Tbh, I know it's not hard. But it's an annoyance to make all stats save properly. I've tried it using the default saving method a few times, but it ended up corrupting the savegame each time. So I had to make a new saving routine.

- shields take up to 10min to recharge.
- cubikon attack range is huge. and 20k dmg with a 10min rechargeable shield is not nice.
- sibelons compared to goliath is an midget.
- sibelons gives just a little x4. it should be 100, or add an galaxy gate.
- stills save-editable. wich is nice.
- drones sprites when looking up/right gets bugged and they look strange, wich shoud not be that
- after jumping drones get crazed.
