  • Nope, like I said it needs a bunch of optimization. A lerp on the x axis is needed.

    Actually I'm not sure if you can have horizontal movement with vertical on tiled background, but you could have the ship do that instead.

  • I'm not sure there will be any flash runtime support, I think they have to buy a license to be able to use a flash runtime.

    Nope.

    The viewer is freely available to anybody, and the source (version8?) was made public quite some time ago.

  • Well you wouldn't have to use a soundfont. You just need the information contained in the midi.

    You could even use some other form of notation, like tablature, ABC, etc.

    Also a sound bank of wavs probably isn't the best way to go either, the file size would be huge.

    Like I said a generator, or even a vst could be used via Pyhton, or a plug if your feeling froggy.

    This might have an additional benefit when you take into account you can only cache so much sound into ram.

  • Yeah, I think I submitted a bug report last year. Any way yeah the work around is to flip it.

    I don't think that really adds a lot to it since the data is already in memory at that point anyway.

    Also this only happens on sprite.

    You might check the tracker, as I recall it was reported with a couple other bugs.

    Might even make up a new ticket for it.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Ideally you would want something that works with midi files. Not just something that plays them, but gives you access to the score. You would also need to be able to use some sort of sound generator.

    ....cough, Python.....

  • No idea what your getting at. Could you be more specific?

  • Just a quick and dirty example of one way to get a truly fake 3d effect using an fx.

    [attachment=0:12n8rxgz][/attachment:12n8rxgz]

    Note:

    It needs a lot of optimization, but you get the idea.

  • How about Python?

    Its a bit hazy if it will get it or not, but given all the recent cool stuff, I'd say its a gotta have.

    But, one thing I'm wondering is if it would be possible to use Python graphic commands in the C2 window?

    There are literally thousands of libs/modules out there, many of which have some draw functions we cant use. It would be awesome if we had access to those.

  • The fake 3d's not too hard. I mean we have z depth, and you can do a few things with fx for the backgrounds. The fake collision detections on the other hand...yeah kinda.

  • -this one could sound a bit absurd but.....a logo change?? i mean the current logo is a cog , game maker's logo is also a cog, stencyl logo is also a sort of cog. I know, when you think of game development tools you first think of hammers, cogs etc. but it will be better if we change it to something else, maybe a small competition for making the best logo??( mary jane would probably win )

    Chronologically Construct had the cog first I believe.

    Then again that's probably a good reason to change it.

    Also nb4 Drule

    Proper screen resolution support.

  • Well you can always set an objects collision mode to none.

  • I thought I might start a thread about what the users would like to have in Construct 2.

    Its been stated that C2 will have Opel GL support, and should be easier to make cross platform, but what else is in Ashley's bag o-goodies?

    Keep in mind this should be about the system, objects, and behaviors should probably be discussed somewhere else. It should also be limited to things Construct cant do for what ever reason.

    A couple things I would like to see are:

    • Sprite[index]: An automatic id for multiple instances.
    • Flip & Mirror: These are available for some behaviors, but it would be nice to have if your setting up your own movements.
    • Zero based... everything: An ease of use thing, like Array's start with one, animations start with one, but distortmaps, random(), etc. dont.
    • Access to resources stored in the exe: Explains itself I guess. Would be nice to at least be able to read an internal file, even better if you could write to one, but I doubt if that could happen.

    I'm sure there's a lot more, feel free to post some of your own thoughts.

    Well within reason I guess, no 3d, etc.
