I wanna be the Engine Seph Edition

[Sephalos]

About
This is a engine I made using the Yuutu engine as a base.
I mostly made it for my self, but I would still like to share it with everyone.
This engine requires Game Maker 8.1.

Features
+ External Sound Loader
+ Options Menu
+ Rebindable Controls
+ Clean

Information
This engine assumes you have experience with GameMaker. It provides only the basics. There is no trigger system, no delicious fruits, no reverse gravity, only the base sound effects and the sprites that were needed for the engine. If you're up for it, I did leave some comments in there to help you navigate your way around.

Use the musicFunction script to add music and use the oRoomSwitch object to move between rooms.

Downloads
I wanna be the Engine Seph Edition v4.0 (FMOD Support)
I wanna be the Engine Seph Edition v3.1 (SuperSound & CleanMem Support)

I still have some work to put into it.
Things like a options menu for key/music config and getting rid of some useless leftover variables from the yuutu engine.

Version 2 update.

+ The player object is now destroyed when pressing "R". +
- World Object, Press R Event. [ note: before loadgame script is executed ]
// Destroy Player Object
if instance_exists(player){ with(player){ instance_destroy(); } }

Is this an important change that I should port over to the game I'm making with version 1 of your engine? I haven't had any issues so far, just wondering what prompted you to include this.

It's not that important, it's just when you press R while falling you'll keep your falling speed.
Destroying the player will reset his vertical speed.

I quite like the way the blood works

I wanted to see how this engine works, but this is incompatible with GM 8.0

I was considering the other day how all of the Japanese and Korean players I have seen play cultured have had broken sound, and I was considering the differences between culture and K2 and other games produced my Japanese players such as permanence 2.
The main thing I noticed was that they other games all used the DLL, and that maybe that had something to do with it, although I have no way to be sure. I just thought I would bring it up as your engine or the games made using it might also suffer if this is the case.

The problem with cultured's music is too inconsistent to really be sure what exacly is causing it. If I would have to guess it would be because there's too much sprites, backgrounds and sounds stored in the memory. So when it tries to load music, it can't fit certain songs into memory.

When you look at a game like Kamilia 2 & Kamilia 3, it doesn't even compare in number of screens/rooms. The only reason why it would feel like a bigger game is because you spend so much time learning and fighting the bosses.

I'll see what I can do about the DLL though, I've been wanting to make the switch so people don't have to download and install the extention.

I think but im not sure, the same thing happens with I Dun Wanna Be Anything, sometimes when im about to stream it and open it, i get an error "Failed to open Sxms dll" if i remember correctly, i will confirm it if i get t he error again. The deal is, once i get the error, i have to ignore it so much and the music is completely broken however the sound is completely fine. I don't know if it's an actual DLL problem or if its because the game is using a different engine.

[Sephalos]

Sxms.dll is very different and I have no experience with it. Make sure you have it in your folder. I'm really not sure just how optimized his game is, I might take a look at it to see if it might not be memory related.
