hey what do u think i should do if i use this menu in a game with music but no sound effects? im thinking i should remove the sfx volume option because it would be confusing if its there.... but then if i do that, i should probably also remove the option select bleppy sound and the [sp]kitty meows[/sp] because theres no way to change the volume of them anymore, and idk if thats a good idea.....

Er, why not just have a global volume that applies to everything then?

love-game.net/megamountain/

decided to see how annoying it is to integrate teh options menu into an existing game.... turns out its pretty annoying but it should go better next time i hope

tell me if u notice any weirdness.... also this version of the options menu should save your settings between plays, so let me know if that works (it only saves when you select "resume" though, so if u just change some options then refresh while still on the options screen, it wont save)

Saving works.  Hard mode is hard.

wow i was looking at my very old game "slime attack" which i thought was a solo project but apparently vg did some of the programming for it and mitch did the music?? how did i just forget that it was a collab lol

im thinking of porting it but i wonder how i should credit mitch..... like does he still use the name Mitchell_XD

I don't really remember which one that is, but okay. (Is it the one with Attacking In Eight Directions?)

He switched from Mitchell_XD to MCXD for a while, but I think now he might go by Grand Honchkrow. You could probably use any of those names, though.

its the one where u bounce on slimes and buy cute hats and weapons....

its very possible you didnt actually work on it tho and the programming credit is because i used to just copy your platform movement code instead of doing it myself

heres a fun question:

should the key repeat options actually apply to the options menu itself, or should they only apply to the game & the options menu will have its own fixed delay/speed?

the main problem i have with the former is that changing the key repeat speed option using the keyboard is kinda awkward because it starts repeating faster/slower as you change it

im thinking the latter would be better but maybe it would confuse people if they change the setting & then it doesnt have any effect until they go back to the game......

Seems like it would be nice to have vertically, because you could test it easily in the options menu.  But horizontally it should probably be consistent - at least for that option.  Unless that's too complicated then I'd just say have a fixed speed.

love-game.net/blockpusher

this is the game in question.... i did basically what u said, it uses the custom key repeat settings when selecting "option categories", but uses fixed settings when selecting/changing the actual options...... thanx for the feedback  :honeydew:

Oh, I actually read it backwards.  I thought horizontal values would change the dropdown values for some reason.

But yeah, having it hardcoded for just those dropdowns seems good.

im replaying "blob attack" and its such a buggy mess lol, i got up to wave 20 or something and the game just randomly softlocked on me

and i cant even fix it easily because i used drag & drop instead of gml so the code is a nightmare

maybe i just shouldnt rerelease some of these old trash games.....
