Can we pin this post ?

It already has Google's attention, we now need to do this:

Unnatural20 - again - he wants to do it in runtime - no programs, no extra steps - load the file up and C2 should analyse it and make an optimal version. Which, to be honest, is beyond what C2 can do (at least natively). You can split sprite strips and such using plugins like Paster, but I don't think anything has the ability to load GIFs frame by frame. Even if something did you would have to guess or limit the amount of frames, etc.

Best bet is a custom plugin, but that's some crazy work.

Overall it sounds like JethroNull is trying to make an app using C2, which isn't a bad idea, but perhaps a hard one for this task.

I read the tutorial about dt, but I didn't figured out how to achieve what I want.

Thanks for the short version. How can I add a "duration" parameter to this ?

dt is your time - every second it will add up to more or less 1 - so if you do something like Value + dt*50 - within one second that value will go up by ~50. If you do dt*25 then it will take 2 seconds and so on.

Just understand that there's no limit to it, hence the "If value >50" in my example, otherwise if, for example you do an "Every tick" condition it'll just endlessly add 50 every second. Which is one reason why the Tween plugins mentioned by codah are pretty neat.

If 60 fps isn't fast enough that means you need less frames - just use every 2nd frame, for example.

You mean layouts, not layers. You don't have to have a new event sheet for each one, no. Do read the manual entry for them.

You should read about delta time, but the short version is: if opacity > 50, opacity = opacity - 50*dt

Another suggestion is to invest in a good nice pen and paper! Draw, write... write the order of things that should happen. Try to break down in the way a computer would do it. It will make it easier. Also if you have problems with math/logic it helps to write down the numbers, draw graphics.... arrows, pointers.. visual aids!

The rest are really good suggestions and this one is as well, but I would like to update it for the 21st century with a suggestion of a decent Android tablet with a stylus - you can save all your notes, you can draw and you can take thousands of those things with you. If you upload to the cloud it'll probably stay with you forever, which sheets of paper rarely do.

I did, since this problem also affects a project of mine - it doesn't work - perhaps you aren't following the instructions. Here's a visual:

If we open a file, then try to open the "same file" (no matter if it has had changes or not) it simply doesn't load again.

As far as I can tell, the bug you have reported is that when you turn seamless mode off, seams appear. Is that really surprising?

It's not readily apparent (thanks, weird image size limiting scrolling box), but the problem in the images is that tiles that should look like this /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ suddenly look like this /\/\______________/\/\ with seamless rendering on.

If the aim is for a story-tale sort of feel then they fit quite well. If it's meant to be a "realistic" horror setting then the proportions and such may seem a little too cartooney. So far it's like a weird mix of sufficiently creepy parts and realistic shading with these weird proportions that take away a bit.

Glad to hear that a bigger project benefited as well. It just proves we should never be complacent with what we got. got.

*sneaky mode on* This would be the perfect occasion to look into pasted object opacity being set to 100 every time as well *sneaky mode to moderate*
