First of all for those who don't know this game kicks ass if your not sobber, play your drunkin' friends and race to the end without plummiting to your death.. Oh yeah also look at the Hi-Score.. or rather HIGH Score:: did the game creators do this on purpose ?? probably

I'm having trouble with this theme my Theme Creator doesn't seem to fully work for whatever reason when I try to build the theme, so maybe i can have someone use the files i cleaned all png files / the wheel / background etc, can be downloaded here : http://www.sendspace.com/file/3fyn6e .



I wanted the characters to obviously "bounce" because that's what you do in the game, and one character is even on a pogo stick, and the logo while it's resting to "pulse" slowly, maybe a grow shrink on the Tecmo logo, any ways hopefully someone can help me because HT doesn't seem to be fully working for me.

If your having trouble you can manually edit the xml file with the settings you need, its very easy in a text editor.

[mrclean]

I probably should finalize this one, just curious if any one else had the same problem(s) with HT, although i know it's a low priority in comparison to the actual FE hopefully a V2 comes out with added animations etc

[BadBoyBill]

What problem are you exactly having? Ive made tons of themes with no issues at all.

[mrclean]

basically in the preview certain animations don't work so i figured it would work once i build the zip but it didn't work after i did that either. But like i said some animations do indeed work,

Working:

bounce 3d
chase
Fade
Grow
Grow Bounce
Grow Center Shrink
Grow X
Grow Y
Rain Float
Sweep Left
Sweep Right
Zoom Out


Not Working!

Arc Grow
Bounce
Ease
Elastic
Elastic Bounce

Which animation didnt work if you type it in and run in HS?

[BadBoyBill]

Well ease definitely works I use it on every theme I make, I just made NARC a few minutes ago and all the arts use ease, thats my favorite one.

I think you should make sure you double click the animation or even triple click to be safe, the animation will show in the text box in the properties area so you know its selected.

I'll check the others but im sure they all work.

[BadBoyBill]

Yep I just verified em all , the ones you say dont work , and they all do work. In the properties area you will see a textbox that says artwork type next to it, when you select an artwork type it puts the name you use in that box. If its not in that box then it didnt register your clicks on the artwork.

[mrclean]

even though the artwork name appears in the box it still doesn't show / work in the preview window. but most animations in HT work for me, I know about the double click. And I actually have downloaded HT twice just odd to me, any one else with this problem ?

[BadBoyBill]

All/ or most animations require a starting position, if you have none selected then you obivously wont see anything happen, check that also.. or if you set the time to 0, that will also make it seem like an animation doesnt happen.

[mattedsmith]

I've had this on my list for a while - it's an awesome game. If you no longer wanna do this one, I'm happy to take it on. I have some ideas to make this look really cool
