    Thanks so much for helping again! And sorry for the delayed answer.

    Here are my screenshots:

    On the second screen you see "Monitorbereich" (= monitor area). Options there are "Alle Bildschirme" (=all screens), "Monitor" (greyed out, since I only have one monitor) and "Teilbereich" (=partial area). The last one is "Feststehende Größenverhältnisse", which means forced proportions or fixed ratio. Although I selected both, partial area and fixed ratio, you can see that the rectangle on the left, where my desktop is displayed, is far from keeping the proportions.

    On the same screen you can also see that I can choose a "Modus" (=mode). Options here are either pen or mouse. But I still don't know what the difference is between penmode and mousemode. I can only say that in both modes the pen works.

  • I haven't used a trust tablet before but normally when you install tablet drivers, you get a configuration program installed on your PC where you (depending on your brand) can choose screen or modify active area etc...

    Yes, you're right. And it was that configuration, I was referring to. It's there where I have to set a rectangle that describes the active area. But this rectangle doesn't keep the ratio of my tablet, so that the result is biased, which makes it hard to draw (e.g. need to draw an ellipse when you want the result on screen to be a circle).

    Also no i do not believe that having different configuration profiles is possible, although sometimes program ie. Photoshop has its own panel where you can configure brush settings, sensitivity and such for your tablet. I am not sure but i believe GIMP has that too.

    Thanks for pointing that out! I will have a look at those configuration options in the applications.

    Thank you for the link. Unfortunately it didn't help me with the actual issue, since I have the newest driver, and I'm not working with multiple monitors. I was rather hoping for a solution to restrict the tablet to a portion of the view, not restrict it to one monitor (which is what I currently have).

  • Hi all,

    I'm in no way a graphic artist, but I always had the issue, that I use the mouse with my right hand while I'm left-handed. This is for historical reasons. When I got my first mouse controlled computer (yes, I'm that old) there only was a right handed design, so I learned to use the right hand with the mouse. I simply can't control the mouse with the left hand.

    On the other side, on a piece of paper I am only able to draw with my left hand. So I never could draw with the pc.

    Now I am the proud owner of my very first pen tablet (yes, I am that slow). It's this one. But the handling confuses me. It covers the whole wide screen (24"), but I would rather prefer that it covers only a part of the screen that I define, so that I can use the right hand (and mouse) for the menus, palettes and such.

    Is there any way to do so? The driver offers a tab called "projection" (I'm roughly translating the words from german). There I can select "All screens" or "Section". But it confuses me. When activating "Section" I have to define a rectangle, but I loose the widescreen ratio, if I do so, since all sides move independently. Also, there's an option called "Fixed ratio", but that doesn't affect the rectangle that I define. And last but not least, I also have to choose between a mode. Options there are either "Pen" or "Mouse". What does that mean? How will that change the behavior? And how do I set a widescreen ratio rectangle? And isn't there any possibility to have settings per application? For example, a setting for Photoshop, another for GIMP, another for Inkscape, etc.?

    Would love to see some help here. Just imagine talking to a 4 year old child while explaining

    Thank you!

  • I am surprised! Am I really the only one with this issue?

    Try this:

    When logged in and on the forums, click on your name in the upper right. From the popup-menu select "Logout". You're now redirected to the front page. Note that you will see "Register or Login" instead of your name. Now click the forums tab. You should still be logged in, although having actively logged out.

  • This channel is quite cool. Egoraptor. Subline is "Cartoons about video games". You will enjoy it.

    . It's a video from his "Sequelitis" series, where he compares A link to the past and Ocarina of Time. Awesome! Be warned though, I might be wrong, but from the subtle undertones I vaguely guess he seems to not really like Ocarina that much...

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't C2 a game creation software? As such, it doesn't claim to have integrated IAP for several platforms. It claims to be able to publish games on several platforms. Additionally it offers an interface to IAPs.

    I know it is hard to actually do the programming part on one's own instead of using premade code blocks, but that doesn't mean it's Scirra's responsibility to provide it.

    If I read correctly, you've already done a lot of research and noticed that questions about IAPs in "How do I" are unanswered by the community. So why not you being the first to share what you researched so far? Maybe others will add to that topic then as well, so that such a tutorial builds up from the input of the com.

    May I ask for a word or two? Just something like "Can't do that" or "Great idea! Will be in the next revision!" ?

  • That depends on the exact situation. In the example above, I made 3years ago, the angle is from the center's point of view. In this case it is easy: Just use the opposite angle. Easiest way to do so is by adding 180:

    angle = angle + amountofchangepersecond * TimeDelta

    x = center_X + cos(angle) * radius

    y = center_Y + sin(angle) * radius

    square_angle = angle + 180

  • When logging out I can only make it work by using the big Logout-link next to "Members". If I try to log out using the dropdown-menu the webpage tells me that I was logged out, but clicking on forum makes me magically being logged in still.

  • tulamide has already made some really good suggestions in this topic ( ) , but since then the audio plugin has been neglected from any advancements.

    In the very same topic, Ashley told about the issues he has. If it were web audio alone, it could have happened already. But since audio must also work the very same way on other audio engines as well, he is bound to use the lowest common factor that works on all engines. Unfortunately.

    Nevertheless, fading options integrated in audio actions make sense. It is rather simple code, should work with all engines (since it is just volume automation) and frees the developer of games from repeatedly do the same thing over and over again. A convenience option, so to say

  • > codah, yes, but I really don't wanna create variables for such trivial things.

    I think this creates an one dimensionnal array of the 3 strings, then it choose one of the 3 values (not sure why the +1, does CC needs a 1 based index?)

    Yes.
