what would you use it for?

I couldn't come up with an use that would justify writing it

Weird how I tried this once and never thought of using a "get up" button

:s

I was aiming for full physics platforming though.

you can always pan manually, leaving the volume untouched

but that test would also stop a sprite from falling if, say, its head is 1px above the platform.

For solid platforms is not an issue, as the rest of the sprite cannot overlap the platform.

When the platform is not solid (solid attribute unchecked, platform attribute checked) a 1px offset collision would yield true both for the player standing on top of the platform and overlapping the platform but with its feet poking out of it.

I can't think of a way that doesn't involve a think detector sprite and that woudln't work if the sprite is going faster than 1px per frame, that's why I ask

Kitten Cannon is nice too but it's missing music and it keeps making me reach for the mouse and then back for the keyboard.

Also, no specials

How does the platform behavior detect when a player is standing on a non-solid platform?

How does it detect walls, celilings?

I'm thinking of ways for a 2.5D behavior and I can't get this bit right

It could be your audio drivers, but sounds unlikely.

can you post a .cap file so I can try it out?

Again: Occlusion Query

I believe it does this exact same thing... though it would have to be a plugin.

For an explanation on these things and any further discussion of video codecs and players and whatnot, kindly head to this NEW THREAD in open topic

There was talk of K-lite Codec Pack, the Combined Community Codec Pack and VLC and Media Player Classic HomeCinema

I'll mention what they are and what they aren't.

Codec Packs, both k-kite and CCC are just that: codec packs. They bundle a bunch of codecs and splitters to be installed in the windows video codec system, which is pluggable.

They usually state a list on their downloads page of what's in the pack. You can download and install those separately for the same effect.

I usually just install XVID, RealVideo and MP3 support, and Matroska if I'm in the mood.

VLC and MPC-HC are players.

MPC-HC supports several video containers such as AVI, WMV and others but for playback relies on windows codecs, meaning you'll still need them.

The nice thing about VLC is also the bad thing about it. It has its codecs compiled in the program, so you don't have to install anything. If you update codecs, it has no effect in VLC.

That's why I usually use VLC to play Matroska. Also its a pretty nice DVD player, with no horrible 'deck' or 'remote' control like the other players out there.

Codecs decode streams. Splitters split the streams from it's original file. For some reason the player still has to allow you to open the file to be split ( splat? XD ). WMP doesn't allow you to open several file types such as matroska, so even if you have the splitter and codecs for the file, it doesn't (I think) work.

AVI, RM, MKV, WMV, MP4, QT and other video files are "containers". These files contain the streams, which can be coded in several codec choices, depending on the format. Some formats allow ANY codec, some format allow ANY AMOUNT of streams (MKV!!).

I hope this helps. Please continue video discussion here.

Lucid (who made the bitmapped text plugin) did consider doing unicode text, but didn't know how that works.

Maybe you could help out
