  • It does appear with the correct measurements when i run it. But in C2, it shows as a smaller sprite-preview inside the actual sprite boundaries.

    Yup and that is a known bug when you use the windows zoom instead of the C2 zoom.

    All I can suggest is you use the C2 zoom and zoom to 100% and then save your game and close it and then shut your cumputer down and restart.

    That usuallly fixes it but it may have crashed your graphics card so look at that if the problem persists.

    If the sprites don't come back delete them completely from the project and save and then reload them into sprites.

  • Let me guess: you are using windows zoom controls instead of the C2 zoom controls in the view tab?

    Does the object appear the correct size when you run the game?

  • More info I just read:

    Along With A Decline In Fourth Quarter Numbers, GameStop Announced It Will Be Closing 150 Stores

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/along-declin ... 45767.html

  • "Shares of GameStop fell more than 13 percent Friday after the company reported sales declines in almost all of its segments during the fourth quarter.

    GameStop reported Thursday that hardware sales declined 29.1 percent, and new software sales fell by 19.3 percent for the quarter — two categories that were once key in boosting revenue for the retailer."

    Wonder if online gaming is cutting into that?

  • The bullet behavior will always change the sprite angle to match the movement angle.

    You can set the animation to a different animation so it matches the angle you want.

  • If you are doing that you need to use a button not asociated with a different movement.

    You can add a condition to check if a button is down and then check if a key is pressed.

    On key is Down: Do something

    On Key pressed

  • I'm using "7Zip". With http://www.ezyzip.com/ the load bar doesn't even start lol.

    It's weird, I've just made another game (just a small one to test) and it works, but the game I want to upload is not working. What could be causing this?

    I wouldn't use 7zip. I had that same problem with that format.

    Delete the old game files and try it again with ezyzip. Remove the index file and upload it seperately. Put all other files in one folder with no subfolders and it should work.

    Like I said Kingregate takes some time to approve new games so it may not show up for a few hours.

  • I call it a trailer or tail and there are a few ways to do it.

    You can add a particles effect to your layout and create the effect and call it when the player is moving.

    You can find lots of tutorials on particle effects.

  • It sometimes takes Kongregate awhile to approve a game so check back after awhile and see if it works.

    It sounds like you did it right but you may be using a strange zip format not recognized.

    I use this one online and it works fine on Kongregate:

  • It isn't showing any problems in my browser or the layout. Check your graphics card and see if it has crashed.

  • well ok then. thank you very much sir i appreciate all your help!

    You are welcome!

  • It looks like it's because i have them set as sprites. when i made them a tile background it doesn't look lik they have the same issue.. But i need them as sprites so i can set their collision polygons..

    and how do you mean window zoom? I use CTRL and Scroll to zoom - i'm assuming that is incorrect?

    Yes do not use the regular window zoom controls. Go to the View tab at the top of C2 and you will see zoom controls.

    Use those instead. I have had that same problem happen and can be very frustrating but your game is fine and is just happening because the zoom has a bug.

    OK I downloaded it and looked and it all looks fine and no gap showing in the layout.

    My guess is you have been using the windows zoom in and out instead of the C2 zoom and when you do that alot it throws off the C2 window and results in the layout and sprites looking screwed up. It is a known bug.

    Close your C2 game completely and then download your game from your own link and it should be fine. You may have to shut down your computer and restart if that doesn't fix it.

  • soirry mate, what is capx?

    A CAPX file is a file of your game saved as a single file.

    I can load that and look at your layout to see the problem.

    It looks like they are being stretched which is probably a sizing issue. That gets worse when you stretch them more.

    If they look fine in game play it is probably your snap to grid settings not matching the tile settings.

    I really can't help more without seeing a capx sorry.
