  • Currently playing through the "spiritual trilogy" (Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma). IoG is still my favorite but Terranigma is pretty good too. Certainly more ambitious.

    Also playing through the La-Mulana remake. The original is much, much better :T Give it up for Nicalis for ruining yet another indie gem.

  • Creating the object (not spawning it) at int(Mouse.X/150)*150 should do the trick. I usually make a cursor object that's set to that, then create the tiles at its position.

  • I'm not sure if it's due to a chrome or C2 update, but as of ~2 weeks ago my game is taking upwards of 25 seconds to preview (it usually takes ~3 seconds). I haven't seen any bug reports so I'm assuming it's chrome. Anyone having the same issue?

    On that note, the NW preview has always taken around 10-15 seconds to preview which is really annoying. Is there any way to speed it up?

  • BluePhaze There are no physics in the game. Most things use the platform, bullet, or custom (event-based) behaviors.

  • This has been happening for me and my teammates since spritefont was added. You can 'fix' it by temporarily disabling WebGL.

  • "Properly formatted" I suppose. Check out Pyxel Edit - it's perfect for animating & formatting sheets like you want as it uses grid cels in place of animation frames.

  • Not sure what the point of this would be... If you're going for depth of field you should look into shaders or blurring your BG assets beforehand.

  • Er, well, as far as tilemap features Tiled offers a bit more, but C2's layout editor is significantly more powerful as a whole.

  • This is a fairly common and EXTREMELY useful feature that's been requested in the past. Not only does it allow you to "shift" large portions of the map, but lets you make complex patterns to be placed elsewhere and generally speeds up the entire tile-laying process as you don't have to move the cursor all the way to the tileset just to change tiles - you can pick up nearby ones. Suggesting you export your tilemap to an entirely different program, make one change, then import it back into C2, is pretty silly!

    Also instead of select,copy,paste,etc. it'd be quicker to have a tool where you click+drag to "pick up" the tiles and when you un-click it switches to the draw tool.

  • Oh yeah I forgot you have to use .ReadFile ^^; Like I said I was going by memory!

  • valdarko This can be done with a "zone" object and clamp() to restrict the camera. There is a good example in the .capx tutorial section.

  • Looks like Root is a number variable, but it should be a text variable! Double click it and change that in the drop-down menu.

    Also you might want to add more than just "C:\" but it depends...For example, if my project folder was on my desktop I would set Root, in preview, to "C:" & NodeWebkit.UserFolder & "Desktop\Project\"

    You might want to set a text object to Root to see exactly what it returns (or check it in the debugger) then look in that path to see if the file was created or not.

  • Very simple! You just use the dictionary's "Load" action, then enter Root & <FileName>. The dictionary will then be exactly as it was when saving.
