  • ...So, the only solution I can think of is to pain ass my way by opening a second window of C3 of my project and remove all of Lite Tween's ACEs. Then use my first window of C3 as a reference to where I have to add it back in. In theory this could work. Wish me luck!

    Thats exactly what i spent the last 2 weeks doing. Removing the two 3rd party plugins Litetween (reproduced with events) and localisation 18N (making my own with dictionary json file).

    It was a real pain but on the upside i found a few annoying bugs i managed to fix along the way and my games cpu usage under the c3 runtime dropped from 30% to 19% with now solid 60fps.

    The next problem is that the c3 runtime has broken my game in places and i can't yet work out why because the new c3 runtime debugger causes extreme lag.

  • I had relied on a 3rd party plugin to handle localisation but i'm in the process of removing all 3rd party plugins from my project so it works with the new c3 runtime.

    I created this test of doing it myself with a dictionary json file and text objects in families.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ottass2ku1lt23x/CustomMultiLangSupport.c3p?dl=0

    It works fine and easily supports variables in the text.

    Has anyone come up with any simpler solutions?

  • I did a test and it looks like all the annoying issues with the text object in the c2 runtime have been fixed in the c3 runtime.

    Text width and height appear to update straight away and it looks like updating text every tick doest have much effect on cpu or fps.

    I think most game engines turn text fonts into bitmaps internally, is this essentially what c3 runtime is doing now?

    With regards to the new text improvements does this mean that with the text object its no longer cpu intensive if its being updated every tick, say for if you wanted to produce the effects you showcase in the blog?

    Also do you still need to wait a tick for things like text length to be correct after they are set like in the c2 runtime?

  • The easiest way is to apply a shader effect to the sprite. Open c3 and check out the shader examples which come with it.

  • You put [ ] around them.

  • Intersting solution, thank you.

    However i prefer my method as i'm able to easily define the movement state by checking currentJourneyTime without any distance checks.

    If currentJourneyTime < totalTime then objects moving, else objects reached destination.

  • Figured it out.

    totalTime = 3

    if currentJourneyTime < totalTime

    then

    add dt to currentJourneyTime

    lerp(startX, endX, currentJourneyTime/totalTime)

  • How do i move an object from point A to B in a linear fashion in x amount of time rather than speed without 3rd party plugins?

  • Can you bring back being able to see when a person was last online? It was useful to see if a person was still around, especially 3rd party plugin developers. It seems to have been removed for "comments, followers and following." and other useless things.

  • If anyone would consider porting this to the c3 runtime i'd be willing to pay them something if we could agree on a price.
