Modules, Plugins & Tools / Re: PLUGIN: SpriteVideo v0.9.4...

Last post by Crimson Wizard - Fri 17/11/2023 20:05:42

But to get to the actual release i'd need to do alot of tidying up.
* Add file stream to the 3.6.1 plugin API.
* Clean up plugin sources after lots of experimenting.
* Ensure plugin still runs with older engines, and correctly limits its functionality.

This is practically done, what is currently pending is to merge the new API into the 3.6.1 engine, and then I'll be able to release a plugin's update that will fully functional on Android.

As a consequence of these changes this plugin will actually be able to load OGV videos packaged inside ags game too (previously it could only load from standalone files).

@AndreasBlack

First, thank you for your message!

Second, damn it! I just wanted people to have fun, not being frustrated all the time! 

Well I guess it's an experience to learn from a first release. But Im' very sorry you had this one bug! 

Because, how did you manage to do that?!

I spent the last 15 minutes trying to crash the game in various ways with the ladder thing and it always works perfectly.
I have no idea on how this went wrong for you.
But it obviously did...

So I took your advice to make those kind of rare moments even more impossible, thx!

The newly patched version is now online and you can play the game as it's supposed to be.

Uh-oh, we have a game breaking bug! I tried to climb a ladder

Spoiler

after the first robo fight, trying to climb the ladder bugs the character out completely. He started his climbing animation on the left wall and missed the ladder completely! The game then crashed and complained you have no frames in loop 2 (i've done these type of mistakes myself so...). To avoid this from happening in the future make sure the character is faced the direction where you have the climbing frames before calling the animation. Which i guess is loop3 = up, but since i turned him a different way it tried to get it from loop2 where you have no climbing animation. Just go player.FaceDirection(eDirectionUp); before changing to the loop animation. That way you are guaranteed it will run the loop you want afterwards. Or just copy paste the climbing frames on all the directional loops which is 0,1,2,3 and it wouldn't matter which loop he was on previously. Got damn it, i just want to finish the game! When i finally beat the robot it crashed on me, gaaaah!!!

Been working on a MAGS game, using the RON assets. My game leaves Josh and Davy stranded in an alternate dimension, so, naturally, I began thinking about getting them back home, in a follow-up game. Shiny bauble syndrome. Instead of working on my MAGS entry, I've been messing with this:

Obviously, not the RON they're looking for...

From ITCH comes
cosmo's trinket hunt
that could be categorized as joke since it lasts one click only

I guess it depends on how you and the text and fade to work.
If you need/want the text to show during the fade, then you need to use Matti's solution. If you just want the text over the black screen, then a room will do just fine.

It is a great topic. I've already splashed out a good half of mine. The planets aligned and I had a long break at work followed by a string of cancellations and I happened to have brought my laptop to work.
