  • Thanks these plugins will be very useful

  • This is really great, thanks R0J0hound

  • Hi, i have been testing the python examples to load videos using python by R0J0hound and these work great. There is a problem however which is if i try to change it to use the app path i get errors.

    This works -

    flash.LoadMovie(0, r'C:\Tooltip.swf')

    These won't -

    flash.LoadMovie(0, r'.\Tooltip.swf')

    flash.LoadMovie(0, r'System.AppPath + Tooltip.swf')

    I tried various other things but nothing works but the fixed path so i am wondering what is the correct way to make it load a file from the same folder as the app instead?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Thanks for the update, this new Variables system seems very useful.

  • Just wondering is there any API/SDK Reference available?

    There is things like .x .y .angle etc and i can find others in the SVN plugins sources but is there a more complete listing? I cannot find one so i am guessing not but i was thinking maybe some one could post a list if they had noted any or made a cheat sheet etc. Thanks

  • procrastinator - MMF2 is not a Construct clone, if anything it would be the other way around. Clickteam has been around long before Scirra and started the style of event editing that both Construct and GameDevelop (and maybe others) use today. I think the Scirra developers used to make extensions for MMF2 also before creating Construct.

    GameDevelop has differences like working on linux as deadeye says and as far as i know it is also not even a project fork, it just looks similar to Construct and uses the same event system but is different and i would not describe it as a clone.

  • Nice i can't wait to test this

    By the way what is Terraria, is that a new game you have made?

  • These flowchart systems work quite well for graphics setups like 3d shaders etc but for game development not so much and click programming/event sheets are probably the best method i have seen other than coding.

    I could imagine making something complex then forgetting what something was doing later. You would also have to search around a lot to find certain events if you wanted to edit.

    With the current event system though that is not a problem so i would agree with Ashley as i think a flowchart system would make things more complicated than they need to be. Making a new events system would just slow down development also and i think there is a lot better things time could be spent on now with C2.

  • tulamide your python class works great when setting the values if i set them directly like -

    Convert.set_hue(0.25)

    Convert.set_saturation(0.5)

    Convert.set_value(0.4)

    however when i do this to have EditBox input -

    Convert.set_hue(EditBox.Value)

    Convert.set_saturation(EditBox2.Value)

    Convert.set_value(EditBox3.Value)

    I am getting errors, so i am guessing this might be the wrong way to get EditBox values. Is there a way to make the EditBox inputs work?

  • Thanks,

    I think the reason i could not get this working was the fact i was using Icon mode. If i set it to Icon or Report mode with your example it also does not work. So this plugin is clearly broken/buggy i think.

    Also i notice if you have 100x100 images it will cut part of the image and you also can't set the spacing correctly so i think i will avoid this plugin as like you say it's not really what i want plus it also seems to have bugs.

  • I wanted to make a simple list of thumbnail images which get the pictures from a image folder. I know there is the Image List Object which you are to use with the List Object but i can't figure out how to use these objects.

    I tried various things but as there is no documentation i don't really know how they are used correctly and was only able to get some text to appear.

    Does anyone know how to correctly use these objects to show image lists?

    I have now got this and have it working well now with the Windows DDK. Thanks again for the help R0J0hound.
