[PLUGIN] Paster

R0J0hound thanks, it work!

Great that Paster can use webgl effects - but Blend mode (additive) does not work.

I have a litle problem to render the tilemap layer in this capx:

Is a split screen game, I used the demo "QuantumBlast" to create this demo but I can't find the error

Only the part of the tilemap that is onscreen will paste, and since the player is offscreen nothing is drawn. That is done by C2 by design and under normal circumstances it reduces the render load. It isn't ideal for the paster plugin though. I found a workaround that involves leaving the paster object on screen and instead move the tilemap object.

Such a workaround should probably be built in but I've lost interest in working on plugins unfortunately.

Can you take a look of this capx please?

I'm trying to do the procces:

1. move tilemap to the negative of the location you want to draw. (-x,-y)
2. move paster to the top-left of the screen
3. paste tilemap
4. move paster back to original location
5. move tilemap back to (0,0)[/code:1mfnw56p] 

into the player's 1 screen but I have not result. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Can Paster be used to allow the user to load an image into the screen? I am trying to use Paster and NW.js to let the user select a image file off their PC and load it into the top corner of the screen. (Like choosing an avatar picture for example). I've not had any luck yet.

Thanks,

You have to load the image into a Sprite and then paste it into paster.

At the risk of stepping on toes, I needed a PasteLayer option a while back and always meant to forward you the code. Since you aren't actively working on Paster anymore, I offer this addition, should anyone else find it useful.

That's cool. I haven't looked at how you did it but I'm glad you were able to make sense of the code to modify it. Especially since working on plugins haven't been an interest to me for a while now.

This version can paste de tilemaps?

EDIT: Ok, works fine.

I had a quick look at your capx but I don't have time to figure out what's different from the other example I made. Sorry I can't be more help.

where do you put the .addon file

where do you put the .addon file

This is covered in the How To Install Addons pinned post.

Just drag and drop the file onto your Layout and follow the prompts.

Will this plugin be supported in Construct 3?

I use the textured quad stuff to do shadows for my sprites, and it's pretty sweet

I need to wait till C3 is actually released.
