  • thanx gamma

    A bug and a thought.

    The condition "on last character" is causing a crash. Obviously it cant be used as in the cap, but like Ashley says "crashes are always bugs".

    http://files.getdropbox.com/u/666516/lcharw.cap

    Also have you thought about using the sprite tag feature?

    Edit + also~ nice work

    thanks newt, btw, the way you're using it should be completely fine

    EDIT: Found the problem

    you're right, it's definitely not supposed to crash

    it's because the text is scrolling outside the bounding box, and Confine Text To Box is on by default

    it's supposed to be invisible when it leaves the bounding box, not crash

    some features I added later introduced this problem, and it is fixed for the next build

    if you use the ConfineTextToBox Action, and set it to "No", it won't happen

    thanks again

    this is exactly what we need

    also, what do you mean by sprite tag?

    SpriteFont (Release Candidate)

    SpriteFont!

    includes simple "hello world" example cap

    this is a very large plugin with alot of features, and will require good documentation

    I will get to that as I can, however, for now you can play, and I check the forums several times a day, and I will gladly answer any questions you may have

    Changelog:

  • thanks for all the support guys

    beta tonight come hell or high water

    It'll be a new thread, cuz I'm sure plenty of people stopped checking up here

  • I play everything in 1920x1200 with everything on ultra maximum...

    yeah, baby

    except the newest few games are starting to slow down if I don't turn down my AA to 2 or 4

    so it's about time for an upgrade

  • doesn't autoplay attempt to load the file each time?

  • if I play in an event it works

    the first time only

    I tried stopping and playing each time and it doesn't work

    I tried setting position to 0 each time and that doesn't work

    the only thing that works is setting position to 0.0000001

    if I want to play from beginning

    I'm assuming that's not how it's supposed to work

    what am I missing?

  • I'd advise against going over 1024x1024 since the runtime requires temporary textures the size of the window and some video cards will create a 2048x2048 surface for anything bigger.

    really? so it'll kill the speed at 1920x1200?

  • wiz, that is awesome stuff, man

    please post exes and stuff

    that's beautiful

  • if I 'return 1;' in the OnFrame function, when does it get called again?

    at first I thought that returning 0 was a way to avoid having it get called at all

    but I can see in other plugins that's not the case

  • read you loud and clear,

    the changes have been made and tested with subevents

    thanks as usual
