  • I am actually, I hadn't thought that would be the culprit! I'll try it and take a look.

    Are you using the draw-self mode? That might explain the issue. If you'd like you can send the simple example file to me and I'll see if I can figure anything out while Edgar is busy.

Maybe it's a problem with the C3 runtime nearest neighbor? Some parts of my sheet aren't even rotated or scaled or anything, and it looks like (in my opinion as a graphic designer) it's trying to resize to like 99% or something.

  • Sorry everyone, I'm tied up preparing for a Spriter 2 update announcement, but I'll get back to any outstanding construct issues as soon as that's done.

    If anyone is curious, btw, and hasn't seen our latest posts on social media:

    That looks awesome! Hey I also appreciate the prompt reply and the update. Looking forward to feedback on the matter - if anyone else has any insight please feel free to weigh in!

  • Hey lucid and everyone - man, Spriter is really so cool and I've enjoyed using it for a long time now. I've been working my way back into game design this year and trying to jump back into a project I had to put on hold a few years ago. The project worked pretty well in C2, and I transitioned a lot of my major sprites to Spriter with some great results. I spent some time today prepping and getting everything ready to port over to Construct 3, and ran into a few issues when I realized that the problem was the runtime! So I got rid of some deprecated objects and turned on the C3 runtime. I'm getting some pretty weird results. Hoping someone can help me out!

    The main issue is that for whatever reason, certain parts of my animations are rendering with some weird anti-aliasing/blurring. I'm not sure if there's a sampling setting that I'm missing or what. I'll post some side by side comparisons for C2 and C3.

    (C2 on the left, C3 on the right).

    What's weird is that, in certain layouts, everything looks totally normal! See below -

    Here's a boss battle from later on in the game that was pretty epic thanks to Spriter (seriously, it's so rad - even without the final graphics) and for some reason in C3 even though the character renders correctly in this particular room, the boss is completely garbled.

    I would appreciate any help I can get... I want to finish this bad boy, but I don't know if I can until I figure out what all is going on here. Thanks!

  • Does this work with construct 3?

    I haven't had any problems running it on construct 3 - it doesn't use any third party plugins or anything.

  • Hello mudmask

    Great game!

    How did you made that crawling enemy in your game?

    booleans! but yeah I made my invisible container for my character go to a smaller size if crawling was activated from the crouching position, set a boolean (or probably a variable) and had a whole new set of controls for that mode.

    this is pretty old... still working on finishing this project but painfully slow.

  • Working on a vertical platformer with drag and jump style game play! Actually uses the platform behavior as opposed to the physics behavior.

  • Ive never used platform but had a quick look at its expressions and

    dx and dy in the first example = exactly what would be x and y movement vectors

    And (sqrt(Self.dx^2+Self.dy^2)) = exactly what would be player speed

    So you can just substitute them over. i.e on collision with ball then player x vector = player speed * cos angle ball to player etc

    I just gotta say, this worked really well. I'm doing sort of a drag and aim style of game play, but as it's for a vertical platformer, I was trying to see if there was a simple implementation using vectors and the platform behavior. works great so far!

  • Cool throw stacking mechanic mudmask ! I wish I could continue my bomberman prototype.

    thanks man!

    Not so far actually haha, after the first waves it gets very hard.

    50 meters..

    The coins are not resetting after crash, if you double tap it will start again with the coins from last time.

    Awesome! 50 isn't so bad Eventually there will be a shop system, so the coins need to remain the same between rounds and play sessions (nothing in there yet though)

  • Very nice, it reminds me of that game that is a chicken crossing the street.

    Keep going

    Thanks my friend - how far did you get??

  • Hey Everyone -

    I've been working on this game for a little bit longer than I planned, hopefully to be able to sell it to a local business in my town. I'd love it if you guys gave it a shot! You can use arrow keys OR touch controls. Would love to hear how far you all get - sorry no leaderboard functionality quite yet!

  • a bomberman style prototype/proof of concept, with 8 direction throwing (Z) effect, bombs bouncing off one another, other stuff -

  • As C2 is in 'maintenance mode', in that only bug fixes will be implemented, it's likely that current addons will continue to function.

    That's great - that thought crossed my mind after I posted this. There's always the possibility I guess that something could change one the Firebase end too...

  • Hello Construct Community -

    I've been messing around a bit with the Firebase plugin by rexrainbow, and it's actually a really cool plugin! It's super simple to use, and firebase seems like a really powerful and user friendly database service. I've also recently just figured out a way to take in-app HTML5 purchases using paypal, and having those purchases update a firebase database, which can then be read back into your game (ie., in game currency purchases, etc).

    I want to move forward with these tests and make some cool projects. However, rexrainbow no longer seems to be updating any of his plugins. What are the chances of a plugin like this being deprecated by a new C2 update? Would it be unwise to move forward, given that support for this plugin has ceased indefinitely?

    Just wanted to ask around before I go and try to make something potentially big, and then end up in a pickle because I'm dealing with people's moneys.

    Thanks everyone!
