Behaviors

Path

By R0J0hound

Gravitation

By linkman2004

Description: This is essentially a far more advanced version of my Orbiter behavior. BUT... instead of merely rotating an object around another object in a completely predictable/stable orbit, this acts more like a gravity well. You can set an object to act as a satellite, an attractor, or both, where every object could have it's own pull on the others and orbit the others as well.

Scale

By linkman2004

Description: handle scaling animation

Orbiter

By linkman2004

Description: This is a behavior which can be added to object to make them orbit another object. This usually takes a small bit of complex math, but the Orbiter behavior takes all the math out and provides speed improvements over doing it with events.

to be released

As for the effect list, feel free to pm me about adding/modifying/deleting stuff

PM me when you make a new plugin or effect too... I won't spend my life on the forum watching out for them, but adding them can be really quick.

Ok then, hope it will be usefull

HSV

By Animmaniac

Description: Adjust Hue, Saturation and Value.

Blur

By Animmaniac

Description: Simple blur with blending control.

Pixel Noise

By Animmaniac

Description: Apply pixelated noise with color, opacity and refresh rate control.

Depixelize

By Animmaniac

Description: Smoothen edges of color clusters similar to Eagle and 2xSaI, with scale factor and blending control. Work best with pixelart and flat shaded images.

Comic Book

By shinkan

Description: Apply to object or layer and hit preview.

Sharpen

By Animmaniac

Description: Simple sharpen with intensity control.

Apply Below

By Animmaniac

Description: Allows to apply effects to every pixel below it. All preceding effects in the stack will be ignored. If applied to a layer make sure to turn off 'Transparent' on layer properties.

Lister's Note : In short it's as if all the layer under the one which has the effect get flatten and pasted into this layer, and then you can put an effect on all these layer. No need to copy past the same effect on all the layer below. Pretty Neat!

Curves

By Animmaniac

Description: Abstract implementation of tonal curves for RGB, Red, Green and Blue channels with three fixed nodes: highlights, midtones and shadows. Can be used to adjust overall contrast or create advanced color filters.

Radial Blur

By shinkan

Description: Apply to object or layer and hit preview.

Noise

By shinkan

Description: Nothing much to describe, apply to object or layer and hit preview.

Static Noise

By shinkan

Description: Apply to object or layer and hit preview.

Advanced Filter

By R0J0hound

Description: This is a white level preserving color filter.

Color Fusion (Masked)

By tulamide

Description:This effect should be used as a layer effect only. Although it shares the same name with Color Fusion, it works a bit different.

Basically it recolors whatever is beneath the layer it is applied to. But, other than the original Color Fusion, this version uses the layer it is applied to as a "cut mask". Whatever objects are placed on this layer are used to cut holes into the color field, letting the original colors shine through. Color Fusion (Masked) handles semi-transparencies (fog of war, spotlights, etc.) and even mixing the cut mask object's color.

Color Fusion, formerly Color Overlay

By tulamide

Description: This effect just merges a certain amount of a chosen color to the original. I did this one, because I didn't find a simpler one.

superBloom

By Davioware

Description: superBloom is a bloom lighting shader with adjustable intensity, light bleed, luminosity color weights, and luminosity curve. It also features an editing mode which allows you to adjust the luminosity map (when active, it only renders the luminosity map).

Distance MultiSample Blur

By Valerien

Description: A parametrable gaussian blur

AllWhite

By DravenX

Description: Makes a sprite completely white

NuovoFill

By Davioware

Description: This fills the opaque areas of a sprite with a solid color to a selectable linearly interpolated degree. This allows for smooth transitions between color blending intensity. 3 blending modes are available and changeable at runtime: raw color, additive, and, multiply.

Can be used to create more modern style (smooth transitioning) flashing,damage,and powerup effects.

RetroFlash

By Davioware

Description: Fills the opaque areas of a sprite with a solid color, and features an adjustable automatic flashing effect (can also be set to not flash to simply fill a sprite with color).

Super Emboss

By Davioware

Description: This is like the emboss effect, but features controllable image offsetting. The example .cap shows how it can be used to create a 70's film quality post-process effect.

Gradients

By tulamide

Description: This effect draws color gradients over objects, using the object's alpha as a mask. It handles semi-transparencies and can be mixed with the original colors of the object. It is very useful in combination with (but not limited to) the text object, as you can see here:

[url=http://69.24.73.172/scirra/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4288&p=58431&hilit=

[EFFECT]Alpha+Treshold]Alpha Treshold (old forum)

By madster

Description: Alpha treshold will remap the alpha contained in the source.

Think of it as a smooth threshold. Start indicates the start of the new alpha ramp and End indicates its end.

Color Replace

By R0J0hound

Description: Replaces one color with another.

Scanlines (with offset) (old forum)

By madster

Description: This effect produces dark, smooth "scanlines". You just input the number of lines the screen will have and the width (as a coverage percent) and the intensity. Optionally you may provide an offset, so you can have the scanlines oscillate or glide or whatever. This is done as a percentage, so 0% and 100% look the same.

GreyShade

By tulamide

Description: let you convert rgb to greyscale with different algorithms and event weight channels.

Radial Gradient

By tulamide

Description: A radial Gradient. Look!

ZoomBlur

By tulamide

Description: Exactly what the name implies. A classic zoomed blur.

Disk

By tulamide

Description: The boring basic explanation is, Disk allows you to focus on a part of an object using an oval shape by darkening everything outside the shape.

Hue Shader

By linkman2004

Description: This shader alters the hue value of each pixel of an image independantly. It takes one parameter, Hue, which is a value between 0 and 360, sliding the hue of each pixel based on that value.

Blur Motion (old forum)

By madster

Description: Adjustable-size motion blur. Good for speeding objects.

Use two times in perpendicular angles (0 and 90) to get adjustable-size gaussian.

Refraction [LINK ON THIS POST]

By Damizean

Description: This effect refracts the objects underneath it through the use of a normalmap texture. This effect is useful for distortioning images to make effects like glass or water refraction. The key difference with the distort effect is that this one the distortion over each axis is controllable through the normal's color channels.

As the link to download this effect is now dead, it can be nice if someone, who still has it, share it.

Edit: thanks to newt this fx is now downloadable Refraction

Heightmap plus

By madster

Description: It shades the underying image using a heightmap-derived (grayscale, white is high) bumpmap. Alpha is taken into account, so transparent parts of the heightmap do nothing to the underlying image.

Also, specular spot size and intensity are done as in the phong model.

Coloured Outline (old forum)

By Luomu

Description: a modified version of the basic Outline effect to have a Red/Gree/Blue/Alpha parameter (in percent).

Colour Mask

By Somebody

Description: Basically what it does is: You pick a RGB colour and you can control that colour's opacity

C-DEX

By tulamide

Description: C-DEX is an effect that allows for gradient mapping. An offset parameter enables palette animation as well, which is the highlight of the effect. It is designed to be as easy to use as possible.

Flip Layout

By tulamide

Description: This effect flips a bunch of layers up to the entire layout.

Ellipse

By tulamide

Description: This effect flips a bunch of layers up to the entire layout.

ChannelToAlpha

By Funky Koval

Description: This is mostly an utility effect - it replaces/multiplies the original Alpha channel with/by either the Red, Green or Blue channel.

and a few orphan (no forum post) effect :

AmbientShadow by David Clark

Bumpmapping3D by David Clark

Voil? \o/

If anyone has anything to add/remove/modify feel free to ask, better pm me, I'm not here that often (:

If you create a new effect, PM me to have it in the list!

It would be great if the effects without picture could have a few to discribe them... I like the animated gifs of Animaniac... It's clear and takes less room.

Well enjoy now =D... Time to list plugins too

Here InkBot, same thing, but with half the number of event (14 instead of 33), and potentially... I hope... a bit more efficient.

The function object is neat when you begin to see repetition of the same kind of code. There's a getting a use to it, but it's worth it.

also, you put strange values in the random(), I rewrite these line with the equivalent. But if you wanted a particular range value of force, like between -15 and -20, you should put :

20-random(5)

for -20 to 30 it would be :

random(50)-20

there's only 1 level ... I should have put a "thanks for playing the demo" at the end but I got a bit lazy on that one

yes it was just a demo, you can go to bonus > making of to see what I was planning next.

I don't think I will go on with this project for now. I have to find a job ...

Thanks (:

Yes I described this bug on my first post. I don't know why the game crashes, when I run it in debug mode it says it's a sprite.csx bug, on a sprite that have no event, in an event sheet that is totally unrelated. Well. It's not a really big problem since you just have to relaunch the exe.

The continue is just to skip the cinematic.

Why do I press F5 every 10min? =D

Hi guys, I just got my artschool degree yeeeehaaa with mention \o/ w000t!

Now I want to share with you the game demo I did.

if you want to try it, go ahead it's right there :

Hazardous Intelligence - the demo

If you're lazy and don't want to play, I made a little trailer

Hazardous Intelligence - trailer

If you just want to look at pictures like the one below, you can :D

Hazardous Intelligence - gallery

I have some bug I can't do anything about :

if you go to the end of the level, you go back to the start menu... that's ok, but if you want to replay, the game crashes.
on some computer there're some kind of ugly texture offsetting that can be solved by changing the screen resolution... it seems...
you might not see the 3D eye which more or less follow the mouse in the center of the start menu

Well I want to thanks the construct community, which helped me a lot especially the bunch of idlers who lives on the irc channel and rojo for his help on video integration :D

Yeeppeeeeh! That's working �ber fine =)

Thank you very much for your time. Now I will be able to insert a nice cinematic and I will share this zip with my three schoolmates who use construct too.

I will probably show all my work soon (my deadline is 2011-06-06 extendable till 2011-06-18 I hope )

Thanks again o/

There seems to be a strange behavior when I try my player on another computer.

All works fine on my eeepc which runs on windows XP (32bit)

But when I run it on my home computer which runs on windows 7 (64bit) I get the following error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Big S\Local Settings\Temp\ConstructPlayer\py2\win32com\__init__.py", line5, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found[/code:2wt0jfy5]
I was a bit surprised as I don't know any "Big S"  =)
Then I tried to bring my own __init__.pyc (from my eeepc... I didn't install python on my home computer) ... there was the same kind of error but with my eeepc path.
I infered that the path is compiled in the .pyc, I then tried with the corresponding .py 
Then I get what it seems to be a dependancy error :
[code:2wt0jfy5]Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
File "[PATH TO MY __init__.py]", line 5, in <module>
    import win32api, sys, os
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found[/code:2wt0jfy5]
I then checked the lib you gave me in the py2.zip , I saw  win32api.pyd, os.pyc, but no sys something.
I tried to search the corresponding file in my python folder (back on my eeepc) but didn't find anything conclusive.

As the computers at my school runs on windows 7, I think I need help... again.

Hi!

As my first post in this forum, a little word : construct is awesome, long live consctruct. I'm an old user of mmf2... since I switch to construct I can't go back, it's physiologically impossible <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

Well, back to business : I'd like to ask if someone can provide a little handy .zip with the file I need to provide if I want to distribute... Let say that player I did to see where I can go with Rojo's way =)

ConstructPlayer.zip

I had to use the second way (the Media Player embedded I didn't manage to make the first one work, it was always a blank window), so I guess I have to provide all the ctypes libraries with its dependancies and all or part of the win32com stuff with dependancies too...

I read the little py2exe quickguide by scidave but it seems a little blurry to me and as I'm nearing dangerously my deadline It would be great to have a little help with that thing =)

little teaser of my game demo (for motivation purpose <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> ):
