Glad you did!

Anyway, I found a way to set up Mini-Games inside the FPS version of SB until we get our own MS-DOS Batch file's running.

I'll send the code to you along with the map :)

Here's the map:
Platforms1.zip
Note: code not working properly. I'll try to fix that soon. It's still fun to play :D

I´ll try to look your code later today, but unfortunately I´m unavailable for 1 more week :( , because I have to go help my dad, i´m leaving tomorrow, I think I´ll be back next weekend, sorry for that :(

*EDIT*
I managed to make the code better, I added stuff and made your stuff work, managed to do everything except the achievement showing. If you make a model and set its level trigger 2 it worked, but wont work without a model, I´m going to try to repair that later.

I did, I think its amazing, one thing bothers me tho. The fact that you have to be in editmode to see the mini-games option. I think it should be moved next to multiplayer maybe and seeable without being in editmode, then its perfect :P.
Another thing to do is making special menus for mini-games, so they will be loaded when you choose mini-game and when you exit mini-game they will be unloaded. (like the thing I put into platforms map, but so that it loads with mini-games mode not with certain map :P)

Hmm that's surprising as it works in regular mode for me. I don't need to enter Edit mode....

It should look like this:

Code: Select all

guilist [
         guibutton "Toggle Editmode (e)"   "edittoggle"
         guibutton "Load Map"      "showgui maps; MODE = (getmode); mode (getmode); initmapgui"
         guibutton "Load Custom Map"   "showgui loadmap"
         guibutton "Multiplayer"      "showgui multiplayer"
         guibutton "Help"      "showgui help"
         guibar
         guibutton "Mini-Games"      "showgui minigames" <-------------------------------------
         guibutton "Options"      "showgui options"
         guibutton "Jukebox"      "showgui jukebox"
         guibutton "Change Skill Level"    "showgui skilllvl"
         guibutton "About"      "showgui authors"
         guibutton "Exit The Game"   quit   exit
      ]
   ]
]

It kinda does that already, but would it be like the unloading the Village UI?

It wouldn't be too hard to add some options to the menu as well as the maps, just a simple line of code. I can work on that with mine for now, get the kinks out of it, then send it over to you :)

A simple stats page would be good.

It would hold achievements, coins, maps completed, multiplayer and singleplayer options etc. The first three would include Integer Arithmetic which I'm not to experienced with.

About those start pages:
I´m not experiened with those either, but I think that with a bit of trial error I can do it, so when I get back I´ll work on it, this time there is nothing in the way anymore, no more trips :D

And the efitmode thing was my bad, I just wrote the code to the wrong place :P

Nice!, the only yhing I need is SVN version :S, which program do you use?

Also maybe sb should talk to mike, cuz he wrote that in the new release there will be vehicle mode etc, but nothing about mini-games :(

Anyways Bye!, I´ll be back after a week
