umm..

you just extract them to effect folder where c2 is installed and create a config (unless you have one already) so it shows in c2.

p.s. using shaders is just using fx files to calculate each pixel through some magical formula

Fimbul - well you're wrong about a few things...

well what's wrong with "dumbing down" windows? i'm pretty sure that microsoft has the idea of creating a operating system where you can do everything without complicating much. so is android / ios /etc.. therefore AI is getting better (cortana / siri / etc..) and so on... The good stuff with windows is that these options are hidden - therefore Power users can still change and play with them. Normal users don't even know what registry is, and they probably don't want to mess around with it at all. plug and play is all people want today. Developers want custom control and fine tuning, but developers are 1%, 99% are customers.

when it comes to missing some parts of customization in windows - i think they choose what should be and what shouldn't be customizable. like UAC. noone (users) messes with that. maybe a few, when they want to disable it. most of it never touch it ever. work as it is. for me as a PU, it's annoying and goes off immediately.

i don't see why win10 is "free to play".

yes privacy is the biggest issue in terms of not releasing your information to outer world. like name, age, where you from, your social numbers, card numbers and so on... and i'm sad to dissapoint you, but if you have Facebook, you've already given 70% of your info to the world.

windows 10 phones home? first time i hear about it, can you provide some info about it? link or something? also - each option i've disabled - is disabled and doesn't change on update, nor does it work accidentally.

also you gotta take in consideration if your info is valuable ? - does microsoft care who you are? no. do they care what you have to say about their software? probably. do you want them to know your secrets ? it doesn't matter - if they do - noone else is going to know, only them, and if you don't want them to know you can disable it all.

and again sad to dissapoint you but this is where things get wierd for users - chrome / firefox / whatever need tweaking and people don't whine about it and they are way less private then they appear to be, but when it's windows everyone starts losing their minds

windows is great, and while linux doesn't have as good thing as windows has directX, software support and more.. it will never change. and people are just going to have to update. p.s. linux won't change windows soon. imagine if people switched to linux (normal users..) they'd be blown away by not knowing anything, and having to learn how to work in terminal... that is just... a big no for users.

yet you still haven't proved how linux (links pls, or arguments with proofs) or any other OS is better then windows and why is windows still holding 90% of market share (we're talking desktop/laptop here)

ErekT - interesting. i've stopped using facebook because i've had nothing to do on it, but i get your concern. still i don't think they have any advantage or what not if they take my data and build some profiles. still i don't think there is any potential dangers to them having that info, but even if some of the info leaked you'd have something to use against the company and sue them. that's why those informations are kept with great security.

i don't see why everyone is throwing so much hate on win10.

i'm using them for 3 months (and upgraded from 10240 to 10586) and i can't be happier. i was on xp/7/8.1/10 and i can tell you the best windows for me were 8.1, but now i'm suddenly more into 10 and they're taking me over from 8.1 (yes i know how everyone hated that metro menu).

and when it gets to "normal" users like me, you, someone else, and so on.. i don't see what the big "privacy fuss" is all about. like you ever spend 20hours reading eula before installing windows. just because media went batshit crazy on the privacy issue like it's something big doesn't mean that win7/8 isn't "spyin'" on you as they call it.

sending data through internet is done no matter what windows you use. your browser collects it, google collects it, everyone collects it. you can't get rid of it. and trust me, i'd rather have an updated windows system then some linux (i'm not saying that linux is bad, but it's got a lot of problems & driver / partition issues and so on..), because it runs fast, supports everything and their new "stuff" is somewhat taken from linux (multiple display desktops and such ideas) which is nice to see. but performance in general vs 7 (fps and other things - > way better on 10, even 8.1 was way faster). Also i dig the new "flat" look because simply win 7 (we're talking defaults here) look like garbage for todays standards (i know you can shut that off and all but ok..).

actually they're pretty solid now after 10586 update. yes i know privacy is an issue, but you can turn it all off without any hacks and shit. haven't had a problem since i've reformatted (a couple of months ago) till now. everything works perfectly (and 10x faster then win7) (the trick was actually in doing a clean install, which most of people didn't do so they had problems :/)

when you put an event:

system - every 0.2 sec

subevent: pick all instances of that object

subevent: regen map for those objects (not sure if you can just use thatobject.regenerate map) or you have to loop through them with foreach (i'd say you can just call regen map since you've picked them all on screen)

top events happen each tick. but when you put each 0.2 sec that particular event is skipped, and happens only each 0.2 sec

or simply go to win10. no aero bullshit there

add pick all instances (moving object) before you regenerate map.

also system:each tick is not needed if it's a top level event.

also i'd recommend every 0.2sec instead of each tick. too cpu massive

i know it is, but noone is probably going to memorize all that. so some baloon tips or such could appear in editor from time to time, ofc. with ability to disable them once you learn the stuff

i'd say we need more exposition Ashley - we need to see what c2 can do. like a cheat sheet. shortcuts tutorial when you first run c2, and such.. would greatly improve workflow. i currently don't know any shortcuts (it's not a bother, but if i knew and it would increase my develop time, i'd love to be aquainted with them in c2, not by searching lots of manuals)

agreed partially. it's actually how much javascript can your CPU run in one second. if you check c2runtime (nonminimized) and data.js, you can notice how things work. if you have seen there how it works, then you can actually predict how much code can you approximatelly run in a second. sadly there is no measures how much linear code can be done in 1 second, but it also depends on the structures used.

anyway if you disable /enable events things should go faster, and using triggers / functions / families = gg

i don't know. it shouldn't be too hard to create a game through it though.

it all depends.

if your game is organized nicely you can reduce number of events for your whole game.

for example - if you create a family that has 10 enemies - you need only one trigger where you say - if myfamily.health <0 do ... something (explode, count score etc..)

other way could be : if enemy1.health <0 do... something ( explode, count etc..)

if enemy2.health <0 do... something (explode, count etc...)

.... and so on for each enemy. this means - > 10 events for each enemy instead of 1 where you just drop your sprites to family.

and such "optimizations" could be done to reduce number of events. you can achieve that wih families and functions easily. and creating new levels, spawning and all other things are suddenly super easy
