I'm creating an offline version

david3262009 · 11/18/2024, 20:35

Hi, I'm currently creating an offline version of DarkOrbit in gamemaker 2.1. Years ago I played offline versions like DarkOrbit Remix which I thoroughly enjoyed. A while ago I decided to learn programming and wanted to try to create this game from scratch. It's been a challenge because I'm not an expert, but my goal is to finish it and make it much more complete than the offline versions that came out years ago. I'm focusing on the 2010-2013 version although I might be a bit late

Finally some good new... would be lovelly to play an offline game like a campaign without anything competitive to worry about. Been waiting for a new, better, long term, more complete and challenging DOR for years.

Good luck with your project. We all know that it is a hard path.

A little help for dealing with ship rotation in movement:
If you import the ship sprites in different orientations into a single sprite as frames, then you can use the following code in your mouse event for moving:

direction = point_direction(x,y, mouse_x, mouse_y);
facing = round(direction*36/360) // math is: round(direction*framecount/360)
image_index = facing

Hii , A small update, I haven't been able to make much progress due to the time I have left, but I'm organizing my time a little more to be able to move forward with this project, in the future update I hope to be able to finish the store, the equipment and add all the missing maps and NPCs.

so, added the cubikon enemy, and other implementations

Are you using the built-in draw_healthbar function, or you use draw_rectangle instead? and if so, what is the reference point for them? It is interesting for me how big the healthbar is respected for the Cubi

draw_healthbar,

just had a problem with the width of the bars, but I already solved it.

I need help with a few things.

What percentage of damage do enemies take directly to their health?

What is the percentage of shots the player misses towards enemies?

Also, the percentage of missile misses. Does anyone know these values so I can add them to the game?

- I'll swap you the question, the shield absorbtion for enemies is rand between 60-80%

What is the percentage of shots the player misses towards enemies?

- The base is 30-35%, so it is 70-75% that you will hit the enemy.

Also, the percentage of missile misses. Does anyone know these values so I can add them to the game?

- Same rate as lasers, 30-35%

Hii, Any idea how to implement evolution points for drones? And also for ranks, something similar to how it was in Darkorbit Remix, but I honestly don't remember how the points worked there.

I don't think that the drone leveling was ever implemented into DOR, but it shouldn't be hard to recreate, I can refer you to this DO forum post:

Code snippet from DOR 5.3.2 for exp:

Code:

you are a god, thnks bro

I've already added the equipment, extra generators, etc., and the drone rotation logic. After this, I'll start with the drone view and equipment, also implementing the levels in the drones and in the range. Thanks, bro.
