[WIP] Kingdom: Rise of the Dark Knights

[AFlakjuju]

I decided instead of making the whole game at first, i'm gonna make just green grass and a couple of enemies and then have all of the weapons and spells so you can get a taste of the future game.(so there won't be a storyline of any sort. but in my future ones there will be of course~.^
whats a ZMRPG without the role?)

still working hard....
your friend at the kingdom,

[itsnotabigtruck]

Alright. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew, at least at first.

[Cutlass]

Sounds great! hope this works out well. If you need any help with story just ask Id be glad to help.

I know the name got changed, so does this game have anything to do with the circle trilogy anymore, or did you decide it would be better to do something else?

its because i made the name black: birth of all evil before i emailed ted for the rights to make it. but he said no unfortunately so i decided to make Kingdom. that way its not copyright infringement. any book of ted dekker would be an exciting game but, the only problem like i said before.The Copyright Infringement. lol
sorry for the misunderstanding.

definitley! maybe in the future i can just make the game, but not post it on the zuneboards site and send part of the game to ted dekker to see if he wants to buy it. but that means you guys will have to buy it.... it will probably only be like $5.00 though...(im talking about the black birth of all evil game)

[deathnote0]

SSounds interesting

Yeah, I'd buy it if it was about the circle trilogy.

More on topic now though. Kingdom sounds like it's coming along great; looking forward to it.

i'm deleting this code so it won't cramp up this forum.

Did you identify them? They sound like they weren't named or something.

If I'm even close to right, I'm extremely happy. I know no code.

Also, please don't double post, especially a long code thing

[AFlakjuju]

thx. i accidentally clicked on the enter button twice
what do u mean by identify them?

[Bolt]

I don't know, I'm not a coder. Is currentFrame a preset command? Maybe the code doesnt know what "currentFrame" and "currentSize" are

[AFlakjuju]

ok, im typing from a book called learning XNA 3.0.

[Bolt]

Truck says I was on the right track, I just used incorrect terms. You're trying to use a variable you didn't define. So you're trying to use currentFrame, but the compiler doesn't know wtf that is because that variable doesn't exist

[AFlakjuju]

i'm deleting this code so it won't cramp up this forum.

[itsnotabigtruck]

It's also case sensitive FYI. That means it needs to be currentFrame.

[AFlakjuju]

ok thx. i forgot about that
*************************************************
i tried that, it didn't change anything. then i moved the variables down to where the currentFrame stuff was, and it worked. i got rid of all the bugs. then i debugged it... and got this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll

Additional information: This method does not accept null for this parameter.
Parameter name: texture

Code:

spriteBatch.Draw(texture, Vector2.Zero,
new Rectangle(currentFrame.X * frameSize.X,
currentFrame.Y * frameSize.Y,
frameSize.X,
frameSize.Y),
Color.White, 0, Vector2.Zero,
1, SpriteEffects.None, 0);

can somebody with code experience help me.(Again)

It looks like you have a variable called "texture" declared but not set to anything, that is why it is saying "This method does not accept null for this parameter. Parameter name: texture"

There's 2 steps to using a variable, you must declare it, so you probably have a line near the top of your Draw() function that says:

Texture2D texture;

but you also have to load that variable with some data, right now it is set to nothing (or null). To load data to a Texture2D use Content.Load:

texture = Content.Load<Texture2D>(@"Images/background");

Sometimes you'll see both the declaration and setting the variable all in one line:

Texture2D texture = Content.Load<Texture2D>(@"Images/background");

Hope that helps!
