lua-enet only sending some messages

Hey there, it's a network question again :D After fiddling with luasocket and UDP for a while I moved on to using enet which seems kinda cool. I got a working server-client connection which I have tested to work fine on two win10 machines in the same WLAN. However, before actually trying to building...

Re: Rock Raiders inspired game

Or tooltips over every action buttons would be useful.
That's a good idea; thanks for the suggestion! I am working on tooltips already ;)

Re: Rock Raiders inspired game

Thanks again, ReFreezed! Amazing how stupid such bugs seem after overseeing it for soo long ^^ I found what is wrong in the map editor and also with the sliders. As for the latter, I already fixed it. I'll look into the map editor tomorrow. The problem lies in trying to use the tools (walls, terrain...

Re: Rock Raiders inspired game

There were actually two version of Rock Raiders - this RTS game for PC and a top-down third-person game for console. I only know the PC version, but that was enough to hook me in :) Using a hovercraft to move over water or lava will make the vehicle get stuck there Ahhh, I knew instantly why :D an ...

Re: Rock Raiders inspired game

addendum: This game will create a folder in your APPDATA directory (windows) where you can save custom maps (and later, savegames will go there too...) plus it also allows you to choose the ingame language in the lang.lua file (English/German).

Rock Raiders inspired game

Hey guys. Does anyone know the (old) LEGO Rock Raiders game? Playing this as a kid was blast! So I decided to create a similar game, except adding some tower defense-ish elements. (which I think the original game was missing out) In case you don't know, you could explore caves with your Rock Raiders...

Re: Acceleration with dt

For a simple acceleration mechanic I used something like this: player.body.x = player.body.x + player.body.velocity.x * dt player.body.y = player.body.y + player.body.velocity.y * dt ... for the actual movement where velocity.x and .y are equal to the current speed in these directions. And player.bo...

Re: issues with text alignment

Thanks a lot, pgimeno! I am still a bit confused why this works the way it does, but hey at least I get the intended behavior. Btw where did you gain that knowledge from? Experimenting? Because I mainly use the love2d wiki as a source of information for such topics though I did not find the mentione...

post attachments?

Sorry for the double (triple?) .love attachment. It's all the same file. I edited my post and somehow it appended the file again(?)
Also when editing a post it seems to somehow f*** up the inline images... I seem to be to stupid to understand how this works on this forum :D

issues with text alignment

Hello there, I struggle with text alignment. I created some super simple message boxes where I want to be able to align text to the left, center (and potentially right, too). All that should happen within a certain frame. However, only for "left" alignment the result looks fine. Have a loo...
