How much does it need to build BSF 2 on a more modern game engine?

I think Kickstarter is a great way to both build popularity and funding required.
I lack the programing ability otherwise I would dive into game making!

That is, if Sean is still around.

I guess I do owe you guys some explanation. So what it boils down to is that it'll take time, but at some point I'll just do BSF properly in my own engine. That's at least a few years coming though (I'm taking an accelerated course so I'll graduate in mid 2013). I do want to emphasize that making B...

Apart from missing mission finale and a few glaring bugs in the ship maker (gets it wrong when reading trigger laden ships), Battleship forever perfect in my book. I am very very annoyed though that when GameMaker compiles a game, what it does is basically compiles a a GML interpreter, rather than c...

I can't remember whether the error message is the same but The game fails to start whenever Anti Aliasing is enabled with my graphic card, which is a ATI graphic card. So make sure the AA, anisotropic filter settings are off. DirectX 9 doesn't comes as default in Windows 7. Try updating graphic driv...

Although this is very unlikely but I sincerely hope that we maybe able to see the game completely re-done on a custom engine. Gamemaker is just too old and obsolete to scale with modern hardware. If in say 5 years time the development on BSF has ceased and the devs have no plans to support it, I hop...

It looks Welsh to me.

Weapon with trigger-on and trigger-off from two different sources As of 0.90d, you cannot properly save sb4 file of a ship when your ship have weapon(s) having its/their trigger-off and trigger-on coming from two different sources. SHP file created will work without glitches, but SB4 file will have...

I use notepad++ actually.

Lol I thought I have mis-read it.

Position 20 is the character number on that line of code and is irrelevent hence. What I'd do if I were you, I would manually open sb4 file with notepad (keeping a backup of course) Then delete all doodads using notepad. sb4 files now is unencrypted and sometime it's easier to delete stuff there. We...

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforever/shipdatabase/uploads/TriggerBug.zip With regards to the attached sb4: The yellow line indicates "Trigger off 1" paths pointing from the circular section to 3 weapons. These links do not save properly when the sb4 file is saved and re-opened. They ...

Sorry if this is been rectified.

Majority game problem with new Vista PC is when people forgot to install DirectX 9 runtime, which is not installed by default for Vista.

Another small bug I've mentioned before but still persists. Keyboard 'Ctrl' key will be automatically pressed and held during the SM "Launching Battleship Forever" dialogue. This can be tested when you minimise the main BSF game and do other stuff. The Ctrl key problem is gone immediately ...

Check your other processes using the task manager. Perhaps your antivirus is running scans. Perhaps a crashed application is using much CPU cycles.

With regard to Annihilator's pic, what do the purple lines mean? Then magically appeared on one section in a ship I was making, and I have no idea where they came from or what they mean, so I deleted and replaced the section - anyone fill me in on that? Purple lines are trigger off lines, and cyan ...
