If you are not part of the tester team yet, feel free to request access by replying below.

Basics: (Updated: June 10, 2009) -OLD: Latest FAQ can be found right in the Game's title screen or with F1
Code: Select all
>Registering/Login:
Just enter a username you want, and click Play. You will automatically be registered as a Guest account, with a locally stored password. You can only log in from the same PC with a guest account.
After 24 hours, when you try to log in, you will be forced to register your Guest Account, turning it into a Normal Account, with a password. You can then log in with your Username and Password from any PC.

>Controls:
WASD - Move
T - Chat
B - Build Menu
Left click on Inventory Items to either Equip or Use them
Left click on a Building/Object/Terrain to use your Equipped Item on it
Control - Use Equipment on selected Building/Object/Terrain
F12 - Settings / Log Out

>Set Construction Jobs
This required no resources. Press B to bring up the Build Menu. Click either Objects or Buildings. Pick one. Click anywhere on the map to schedule a Con Job. If you picked a Building, you can drag the mouse to resize it. Con Jobs can be Constructed by anyone.

>Gather Planks
Chop down Trees: Click Hatchet/Saw to equip one of them. Then move towards a Tree, and press Control (or click it). You will get 1 or 2 Logs.
Logs->Planks: Click Logs to turn them into Planks

>Build Con Jobs
Equip the Hammer, select a Con Job, click it/press control. You can mouse over Con Jobs to see how many planks you need.

>Destroy
You can use the Saw to get 1 Plank from a Sign. It will do some damage to everything else. The Pickaxe is currently ranged, and does the most damage. You can click on things that are a few square away from you.

>Try other Scrolling Modes
Press F12 to go to Settings, and try the Look-Ahead and Dead-On scrolling modes

>Cheat
Give yourself more planks by press T to talk, and typing /giveall
Warp to another area by typing /warp AreaName
Example: /warp Sandbox

Ah, of course. SmileyHouse vetrans are always welcome! :)

The game is still very active in my mind, even if action is a bit limited right now during my Master's exam period. Hopefully I will be able to resume working on it soon. :)

Wow, last post was sept 10th!

Hey I played smiley house today, if not just to revive some old memories. It's still a cool game.
Pity no one plays it much anymore.

So are you still working on this? The game hasn't changed much since I tested it.
If you aren't planning on finishing this I think you should add some new content to smiley house to make it fun again.
It was a really cool game back in the day!

Peace!

Certainly am planning on continuing development of Smiley Country, but as you can see from the DevLog, I just haven't had time lately. I'm sick today, but I hope to look at SmileyCountry again soon.

I'm still thinking of making SH open-source, but I haven't found anyone who wants to covert it from MMF1.5 to MMF2, plus I don't think many people would want to work on it in MMF1.5, since MMF2 is out and a lot nicer.

I have both mmf 1.5 pro and mmf2 dev. I don't know if I'd ever have time to convert it because I'm working on my own projects, but I'd certainly like to see the source :)

*Link Removed*

Anyways good to know you're still alive!

Well, the website surely is mysterious, but no more discussion about other games in this thread, please. Feel free to start a new thread though.

Well, I'm still kinda sick, but I'll look into SmileyCountry now. I need to re-focus on the direction I want to go in before I do any further coding. Time to re-read my idea logs.
