  • TiAm That was what I was missing! thank you..

    it's not that intuitive since it doesn't even mention a Sort order in the dialogue box.. and checking the manual it mentions ascending only.. strange to have it be a whole different Action.

    A little bit cludgey.. but it'll work!

  • Aphrodite yes it's white because of the Blend mode/webGL effects.. the image is actually white and the effect makes it transparent.

    when I disable the webeffects and make the blend mode normal I don't get the distortion..

  • oh, it's a WebGL problem.. It looks like its the Multiply effect on your Mask sprite.

  • I exported HTML5 and I'm getting the blurring as well..

  • okay, I'm seeing the same blurring in Chrome.. I didn't see it before because I didn't resize the screen...which as ramones says makes it a lot worse.

  • Pakost install the version of Node I posted.. I'm not sure which version it is, but I know it's the version before 0.11

    NW 0.11 still has the jank issue so I don't use it... I use C2 r187 which I believe was the first update you had to update NW separately. So installing r187 won't roll your NW back, you need to reinstall NW by itself.

  • Can you really only sort arrays in ascending order? Or is there other ways people get around this?

    I have a 2D array with 7 rows:

    Score, TeamName

    and I want to sort so the highest score is at the top.. then I can print to the screen

    Sort(X)

    For each Element

    Append Text = Array(CurX,1) & Array(CurX,0)

    *this will print TeamName and their score but in ascending order - meaning the lowest score will be at the top! And while this might be good for a golf game, it's not what I need.

    I know I can do a For Loop and set it to loop backwards.. and that's how I got it to work.. but I can think of situations where I'd need this array sorted in descending order. Do I have to breakout my bubble or btree sort and convert it into C2?

  • ramones is this from Node Preview or Export? which version of Node do you have?

  • Do you guys see this normally?

    yes this looks fine to me.

    do you know what version of Node you are using?

    here's the previous Node install..

  • farflamex, no I never did solve this, I made a tiledbackground that is around 512x512 huge: 40,000x40,000 the player could run out of it if they kept going in one direction for a long while.. but I try to keep the action close to the center..

    I still need a solution. I was toying with the idea of making a set boundary and then making the edge push the player backwards as if some sort of gravitation pull is keeping them from going any further...not crazy about that idea though..

    your cloud pattern looks animated! how did you achieve that? seems like its more than 1 image and they are moving with bullet? how do you keep them repeating way far out?

  • thanks — but that doesn't work quite right..

    probably an animation loop is best at this point...

  • its like I need "treadmill" effect or something, just around the ship.. it doesn't even need to take up the whole screen...

  • A0Nasser its a tiled background..so can't use frames.. but I could load a different image into it... not sure how that will look suddenly.. but a static image is not what I am after.. I'm looking for some sort of trail effect..

  • looks cool! good job!

  • it all depends on the duration of the audio.

    a rough estimate

    1 min audio uncompressed (like wav or aif) = 10MB

    1 min audio compressed (mp3, ogg) = 1MB

    but with ogg you can bring the compression down with quality and make the file sizes smaller.

    you have to play with this setting.. but you are probably not going get much smaller than a 1MB/per min and sound good. Depending on what it is you might be able to get down to 900/800kb per min...
