  • Could also be that he is an active twitter follower... I managed the lightning draw with the last release, as I have a plugin in my browser which instantly notices me of a new tweet... saw it, clicked the link and downloaded.

    7 times in a row? Most approximately around 4 seconds? That's some very unlikely fast reactions.

  • Either way the download race has always amused me, I think it's great fun!

    I think it's great fun too! But only if it's fair. Reputation is a good way of letting people know at a glance how much they use the software. This aruche is a newbie that's taking advantage.

  • Looking forward to how this turns out in the stable release!

  • I just want the light to create perfect shadows, meaning if the light source is behind a wall, the light doesn't appear on the other side (as shown in my image. I find that if I set the light radius set to 0 I'm still getting shadows and light appearing where they shouldn't.

    I also want to have the light set to 15 so I can get soft shadows

  • Man! Love this plugin... but the way it is atm, I can't make the game I want to make!

    Also, I kind of need WebGL for what I want it to do... and atm I can't use that...

  • Hmm, to get it to work the way I want, I have to set the light width to 0... but then I can't get soft edges. Strange.

    The colour changes are in the events... "Set Shadow Colour"

  • That's what I thought too... but the light is 15pixels, and the sprite of the light is 30 pixels... and I have a clear gap either side of me... Odd.

  • I'm not sure I understand what I'm seeing with the shadow system... Has anyone tested out the penumbra example?

    If you position your light source where I have, do you also see the light appear? I'd have thought it should go on forever, so it shouldn't appear at all!

  • Ashley I'm having issues with my HTML5 export believe it or not. Seems very intermittent in whether it decides to load or not. Tried it on 3 browsers, and 3 computers.

    It works fine on my main PC and laptop, but for my client it simply won't load. It just sits on my loader layout saying it's loading. Apparently they sat there for 5 minutes before contacting me and asking why it took so long to load.

    It didn't work on IE or Chrome (oddly enough), and only loaded on Firefox. A few minutes later, however, they closed it down reopened it, and it wouldn't load properly.

    I have it set up so when the loader layout has finished loading and the preloads are done, go to layout. Not sure why it would only work some of the time.

    I'm guessing it's simply a problem with their PC, but I thought I'd post anyway just in case it is related somehow.

  • Surely this would bump up his reputation, allowing him to get a high rep without really doing much of anything. Strangely, he also has 23 quick draws. 40 posts, and over 5000 rep.

  • Tom - Is it possible for you to please explain to me how aruche is always managing to claim the lightning draw badge almost every time there's a new release, and usually within a matter of seconds? Either this guy is an unknown developer who is testing out the download after uploading it, or they're using some kind of hack.

    In any case, they're just mining those reputation points, and taking the spot away from others who actually have a fighting chance. I used to find it quite fun to download as quickly as possible to get a badge, but with guys like this just snapping them up, what's the point?

    r167 - aruche - 4.35 seconds

    r168 - aruche - 4.027 seconds

    r169 - aruche - 3.277 seconds

    Give me a break. Can't stand hackers.

  • If it works on the WiiU, I have no issues, but it might be nice for other users if this was the default plugin. It's a lot more user friendly.
