  • Tom Could You make text for "Last edited by xxx on yyy, zzz, edited 1 time in total." a bit smaller, It's taking about 1/4th of the post currently.

  • Sorry for hijacking this thread, but if we speak about Node-Webkit... Is there a way to secure package.nw file? Because for now I can double click it (I'm using Total Commander only on daily basis) and all my game files are visible. So I can just copy them, modify, delete... whatever. And for desktop games it's kind of unacceptable.

    After spending month on your game anyone can just rip all of your texture images without great effort. I know there is no perfect solution against piracy and sprite thieves, but currently it's more like an invitation for them

    Edit: I'm asking that because I've made some sprites for sale, and make a nice "demo" of every sprite, animation etc... And now I'm not sure if I should publish this. If I put it as a html5, every single browser can download all of my sprites with few clicks. And now when I decided to use Node-Webkit I accidentally found out that ripping sprites off Node-Webkit is much easier than from browser :/

  • You can't change Tilemap image on runtime.

    What you can do is to make few Tilemaps with different textures and just swap them - they should be exactly the same but with different look/style.

    For example if Tilemap1 have tiles:

    0 - alien sand

    1- alien grass

    2- alien rock

    then Tilemap2 must have:

    0 - desert sand

    1 - desert grass

    2 - desert rock

    So if you swap them they will have same id's on screen but with different image.

    Other thing you could do is to make one tilemap with all graphics. Let say tiles id 0 - 16 would be alien planet, and tiles id 20-36 - desert.

    Then if you will need to swat texture you need only add 20 to every tile id.

  • Guizmus 9patch was my first thought, but unfortunately 9patch can't be rotated.

    Not sure exactly which example hopr37 is referring to, but if it's the one I'm thinking off, arrow in that example was rotating to mouse position. But I can be wrong.

  • I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for.

    Groups are groups. "System| Group "xxx" is active" is a condition to check if Group named "xxx" is active or not.

    If you don't have a Group called "xxx" then "System| Group "xxx" is active" will not even let you make this condition.

    Edit: And why do you want "a lot of the same event groups on the sheet for each" that have no sense.

  • SeekerSK Yeah, it's just that first middle mouse click. I'm making a level editor and middle mouse button is assigned to pan around the screen. Every time I run preview I'm panning straight away, but instead of scrolling my level, my entire game scrolls. And it's hard to habituate to press left or right mouse button somewhere on screen and then start panning around .

  • So renaming animation is doing that!

    I had this issue many time but couldn't figure out why is this happening.

    Easy solution save your file as a project folder. Then when you open image editor it will be fixed - if not then right mouse click on animation frames panel and select Reload from disk.

  • Can't think of any other way.

    If you need more control create a sprite, make it follow mouse. Set mouse cursor to none and set this sprite to work as mouse cursor.

  • — I've just placed, I believe first attachment on this forum Works great!

  • BluePhaze It's new, it's shiny, fast and easy. hehe, Tom added them few minutes ago

  • BluePhaze I'm not moaning about, just saying

    I've sent him a solution to use variable with CSS, then I've realized I forgot to attach a file and send another one with file.

    My solution was exactly the same as newts, but in my file I make it to fade entire textbox, not only a text.

    If we want to be specific, he asked to contact him directly with his email address, which I did.

    I'm not sad, mad or whatever...maybe a bit disappointed. Newt got the money and I'm fine with that... Like I said, world is cruel

    Edit: Let me use our new lovely "forum attachments" on this file, yey
