every time i run it locally to see how its doing... It asks do i want to open my webcam.. i hit share it... it shows it for about 1 minute... then fire fox crashes and sends a report to firefox...

will this go away when I export or is this a sign of doom.

Events:

user media, on media request approved, user media, get media sources.

touch, tap gesture, user media, request camera source 0

touch, tap gesture, user media, request audio source 0 and route to audio tag "mic"

For some people Firefox runs very poorly with HTML 5. For the best performance I use NW.js. Chrome comes in at the second fastest.

Firefox , Edge and Explorer all totally suck for me though.

The plugins have a lot to do with it. If you use the following disable them:

Adblock Plus

Element hider for adblock plus

Firebug

Unity plugin (the old 4.0 one)

NoScript

TorButton

Download Helper

You might notice a big performance boost after you kill them all off. Some people have absolutely no issues with it though.

Best thing I have found is to just set the Default browser to Chrome, and I tell all of my game players that the game is not compatible with Firefox, Edge or Explorer. This has eliminated most of the performance complaints I have been getting from Kongregate players.

There is some built in NO-overlap things with the 8-direction and platform behaviors IIRC. Just add the behavior, and see if they still overlap. I think they will try to push away from each other by default.

Speaking of GPU usage. Stacking alpha masked textures on top of each other and manipulating the opacity in real time also sucks up GPU and CPU power.

Mine keeps the exact same opacity, and is only 2 sprites stacked on top of each other.

I like how your can have the ability to spin the textures though. That adds a bit of realism that i can not achieve with my method.

I like your price too. It is very reasonable for such a nice effect.

Sorry for the filesize mixup vtrix

Use the effect Set color and adjust HSV... There is also a change tint. Play with the effects browser, and you will probably come up with something

Here is one with an animated sprite. Just put your sprites into the Shadow family and enable it by setting the instance variable Shadow to True. Leave the original set to false. Then Invert the Y axis, and make the height about half the original height.

You can pass commands to the CLI from Node Webkit. I think it is called Run application.

I have a solution I am uploading now, Check your PM in about 5 minutes

In my opinion faking it the way I suggested would give better (and probably less gpu-intensive) results in your case..

another way would be setting the shadows to a certain amount of opacity and using the Alpha threshold effect on the shadow layer..

Hi LittleStain, great way to put it.

One of the best "Rules of thumb" I have heard for Video game development is "Better to fake it than make it".

An old trick we did with the blender game engine was to take the 3D model which was casting the shadow, replace the material with a flat black material, then Smash the model flat on the same normal as the light direction. Then flip and mirror the object to make an exact shadow.

In Construct 2 you can do the same thing with the sprites, by duplicating the animated sprite, Use the Set Color to Black (0,0,0)

Here I make a Jumpman with a fake shadow for you.

I am doing it in real time, just for this example, you are going to want to do this shadow sprite in your image editor.

Just Flip it , and smash it. You can also Skew it in your image editor, but I suggest not doing that. Anyway, enjoy your Lazy-Mans-Free shadow Hack!

Have a good day <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

I studied physics for 4 years mate, I know how to calculate velocity

I already have 8 direction behavior so I can't use any others.

The second answer i gave lets you know that the Physics behavior has the Velocity. You can get the speed from the 8 direction movement, but not the Velocity, it is speed in pixes per second IIRC.

So to use the 8 Direction , and get the velocity, you are going to have to put your extensive physics training to work . First you will need to determine your scale though.

Have a nice day

Well, I should say 2 games.

Red Orchestra 2 is based on WW2 Europe, and Rising Storm is based in the pacific.

The reason I say 2 games is because one is by Tripwire, and the other Tripwire bought from a Mod team. (Or they hired them i forget). The guns, and movement are really different, but core elements like the aiming mechanics are all the same.

The artwork is AAA, and the combat makes you really feel like you are in a huge battle. They mix Ai with humans so you really get a massive combat feeling when you play it.

The Team work is pretty much automatic, As soon as someone sees an opponent, they automatically cry out, just like in real life. No fumbling for Voice Com keys, no relying on lame team mates.

It is not as fast paced as any arcade shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield series. Bullets actually hurt! If you get shot, you are most likely going to die, so you really need to stick to the cover, and use the crouch-aiming mechanics for snap shots around corners. Running directly into the front line will get you shot almost instantly by a human player. This makes the combat have a much more real feeling to it. Battle field 4 and Call of duty make me feel like I am in some cheesy 1980's movie like Rambo. RO2 and Rising storm are much more realistic!

Hope to see you guys in multiplayer, the community is still huge after all these years.

really nice! thank you for doing this!

You need more than 1 layer.

The lamp and the shadows should be on the same layer IIRC:

I dont use them very much, sorry my memory is hazy.
