  • Hi, i don't know if this is a bug, or if there is a shortcut to fix this...if so, sorry for that.

    I usually have 2 monitors in my PC, but one of them is broken.

    Now, i have only one pluged, but with this configuration i can't open the Actions window in Construct2...well i think the window opens, but in the position that it usually open(in my 2nd monitor)so i can't edit the actions and i have to press "escape" to be able to exit construct2.

    This is really weird and i don't know if this make any sense...

    I am using r122, but it seems that it happens in previous and newer versions.

    tks

  • I'm making a procedural dungeon generator myself , gotta re-write it tho ...

    Great, show us the result when it's done.

  • Hey Cesisco, could you help me with the magicam (or magicam-like) settings? I tinkered around quite a bit but couldn't make it smooth with lag like yours.

    Best Regards;

    Windwalker , just use lerp.

    create a variable "camera1"

    camera1=0-set scroll X to lerp(scrollX,player.X,2*dt)

              -set scroll Y to lerp(scrollY,player.Y,2*dt)

    then you can set the variable to other values if you need other camera types, or to scale the layout to do some cinematic transitions

    camera1=1- set layout scale to lerp(LayoutScale,0.5,0.5*dt).......

  • Wow this is a cool project. Nice work.

    Thanks danny

  • This is really nice, the camera is quite finely implemented (I'm trying to fo the same thing but fine-tuning just never ends :) )the simplistic style is awesome. Even now this is huge. May I ask about the performance hit if you create larger caves?

    Hi,tks.This is a 48x32 array generating 700/800 objects, and it runs pretty well on my PC, when i have some time i will double the width to see what happens

  • interesting man,,, nice generator.

    Thanks tchem.

  • Oh man. I wish I could do something like this. :(

    EncryptedCow, i am busy right now, but i will post the capx here, i just have to clean it a bit and add some comments/notes to it.

  • cesisco nice examples. Thanks for showing us what you are working on.

    Thanks czar

  • cesisco is there any good way to limit the height of any particular section so that you can't get stuck in areas that are too tall to jump out of? I mean I see that you could just give movements like double jump, wall jump, etc... but that limits the type of game you could use it on. A way to control to some degree some of the attributes of the randomly generated terrain would make it much more flexible...

    BluePhaze, yes you can make rules for the type of game you want, next week i will take a look at these examples and i will split them in different categories, cave , platform, autotile etc, because my capx are rigth now a big mess.

    here an example for a random platform game, is a very rough, but in this example the player can jump to every terrain in the level.The player can jump only 256 pix high.

    random terrain

  • cesisco Wonderful news, and I've always wanted to see how the bitwise autotile method worked. Is it a custom behaviour or just some clever event work?

    Wrangler, i use events for the Autotile system, actually i'm working in a terrainn library to use with the autotile system, and it will have more than 50 types of terrain, i will talk about this in other post.

  • It looks great and it seems to have a gameplay with a lot of depth <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • newt thanks for the advice, my Google chrome takes only 6 seconds to generate the cave and Firefox 10 seconds and they run very smoothly with this 48x32 Array.

  • BluePhaze, thanks, i don't have IE 10, that is a lot of time!

  • Wrangler EncryptedCow , thanks!Yes i can release this as a .capx as soon as i have a flawless cave generator without those disconnected caves(the hardest part of the job).Take note that this .capx uses the bitwise autotile method for the terrain sprites too.

  • Thank you guys!By the way, any performance issue?I wonder if these caves will be playable if i make them 2 times bigger, right now it's a 48x32 array.
