    Can you please reopen this? Sorry, I accidentally removed the file cleaning up my dropbox. The link works now.

    Hey all,

    I noticed that putting the task kill within the game doesn't always get rid of the extra process.

    You are better off running your windows executable through a script.

    Create a file called rungame.vbs and put the following in (replace nw.exe with your game's exe on lines 2 and 4):

    Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "nw.exe", 1, true
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.Run "taskkill /f /im nw.exe", 1, true[/code:19hh0z3k]

Next create a [b]GameLauncher.bat[/b] file with the following one line:

[code:19hh0z3k]cscript rungame.vbs[/code:19hh0z3k]

Put both the vbs and bat files in your win32 and win64 directories.

Instruct your users to double click [b]GameLauncher.bat[/b] to run your game.  This ensures the game is actually closed and runs the task kill process.

[i]Note:  If you game's exe contains a space (you evil person you), you must add quotation marks to the vbs script like so:[/i]

[code:19hh0z3k]Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run """My Game.exe""", 1, true
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.Run "taskkill /f /im ""My Game.exe""", 1, true[/code:19hh0z3k]

  • I stumbled across the same issue. It's somehow related to having ping-pong set.

  • Problem Description

    Changing the animation speed every tick (like matching animation speed to sprite's movement speed) breaks a looping animation that has been set to ping pong. Instead of smoothly changing the animation speed it stops using all the frames and only uses 2 frames.

    This only occurs with ping pong selected. If you loop without ping pong it works ok.

    Attach a Capx

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/358 ... speed.capx

    Description of Capx

    Watch the flapping animation. Click "fluctuating speed" to set the animation based on a sine. Click "Static Speed" to set the animation speed to a set number.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Create Animation that loops and ping pongs
    • Change animation speed per tick
    • breaks!

    Observed Result

    The animation loops using only a couple of frames rather than the whole set.

    Expected Result

    It should smoothly change the animation speed without breaking the animation's flow and should use all the frames instead of a couple.

  • Ah OK. Thanks for the quick reply.

  • I've explained on the thread already that I don't have access to anti-aliasing in the new version. You can still use the old one for that.

    Are you updating the old one anymore? I tried to use it because of the anti-aliasing in v2 but in v1.12 I select size 8 and it goes up to 8.25. Won't select a whole number.

  • I can't reproduce here, but I think it's related to another bug I already fixed, so closing on the assumption it's fixed in the next beta. Please report it again after the next beta if you can still reproduce.

    Confirmed that the bug is gone in the new version. Everything's back to normal.

  • My bad! Edited the bug report.
