  • Just as an update, R0j0's suggestion completely solved the issue I was having, this thread is definitely solved.

  • Awesome!

  • Thanks, R0j0

    I'll give this a try, so if I understand, this expression is doing a momentary resize of the canvas for the sake of the snapshot, regardless of how C2 is fullscreen scaling?

  • The goal of the entire project is to output single screen png's, and aside from my inability to properly change resolution when the snapshot is taken, it works perfectly. Guess I'll just have to 2x or 4x my target resolution for the actual tile placement work, and then downscale the png's manually later to fit the sizes I want... pretty disappointed if I'm being honest

  • Hey all,

    So here's the question: I'm trying to create a "level editor" that exports 256x240 pixel png's, but I don't want to work designing the screens at that size, when I try manually changing the "window size" it messes with the mouse tracking I'm using for placing tiles, so is there a way to switch between fullscreen scaling modes (none, letterbox, etc.) during runtime? or is there a different solution I'm not thinking of?

    Thanks

  • Thanks guys I have a little more planned in terms of polish once the base engine is done, then its just a question of expanding on enemies and bosses if I feel like it lol

  • That it does lol and thanks, the visuals are kinda low on the list until I get the entire engine finished, but thanks!!!

  • After a grumpy end to my week last week, and decided to cheer myself and make a thing over the weekend. Welcome back to the 80's.

  • Hey all!!

    Announcing the Kickstarter for b10b's game, Dangerzone!

    DANGERZONE is a head-to-head air combat game that combines Street Fighter II + Spacewar + Top Gun.

    Thanks for any and all support!!

  • Thanks for the reply! The exposure bit has definitely been the hard part. Neither my friend nor myself are very social online, and as a result really don't have much in the way of communities we belong to (I'm primarily on these forums, and he's on FGL, damned Flash user!! lol) So we both feel that our success/failure will likely hinge on exposure (the game itself aside, that is) I'd never heard of Crowdfunder, so I'll have a look for sure. We're already ready to launch on KS however, just gotta push the button.

  • Hey everyone,

    Just curious if any of my fellow Constructors have any tips or advice with regards to Kickstarter. A friend I'm working with is getting ready to launch his and we could use some help sorting out how to generate an audience and drive traffic... any ideas?
