  • Hey lavra, I've been working on my first game for a while now and I've been looking for an autosave script call + single save file system. I just wanted you to know how glad and thankful I am for the plugin you created, it's absolutely imperative for the "Gacha" mechanic in my game to work.

    God bless you and thank you so much!

    I have a problem with Iavra gif. Everything's ok sometimes and sometimes there's a black screen instead of the animation. How do I fix this?

    Please do not use Status Updates to ask Support questions, that is not their purpose which is meant to be 'lighter' - random thoughts, odd bits of info, stuff like that. Please post in the thread for that plugin. Particularly as anwering your question would require a lot more detail than you've given.

    Would it be possible for you to update your Particle Engine plugins? They're severely outdated considering they're over 2 years and a lot of PIXI's functions have been changed since then.

    Please do not use Status Updates to make requests of this sort, that is not their purpose. They are meant to be much 'lighter' - random thoughts, odd bits of info, things like that. I suggest you post in the thread for that plugin.

    Iavra I've used your plugin in a free game called "The End of Warren's House" you can find and download or try at www.nbgstudio.com/en/
    This is for credit your amazing work! Thank you so much!

    Seems like i got caught up again and will be really busy for some time...i know some guys are waiting for me to review and/or fix some bugs, but i don't know, when i will be able to -.-
    hey larva can you tell me how to use your gif plugin? i need to know it step by step like where to put the plugin commands how to do it for battlebacks and all. please if you could tell me
    Iavra
    No internet at home for the last few days and it's probably not getting fixed until next week.


    What am i going to do with all this time? :o

    Writing new great plugin :) or updating old one :D
    Iavra
    Sorry to everyone waiting for an update to my plugin. It's basically working, but i'm kinda busy and the new PoE season starts tomorrow, so i'm pretty much out of time :D

    If you post what you got in plugin development, I can look at it (before I get impatient and start trying to process how those light effects work on my own) and lend a hand, hopefully.

    @taarna23 Well considering you're from Canada and the animation is also from Canada...I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're thinking of the same show. My older two love it (the younger two still being a year or so out from caring what's on tv yet thank god) but it just gives me ageist thoughts and makes me rethink my whole "no televisions in bedrooms" rule.


       Though on the plus side, I do find that I'm more productive overall during times such as those where I don't have control over the television.

    Show? Nah, we mustn't be thinking of the same thing (mine: rear end in a top hat judge from The Wall).


    My daughter got a TV and DVD player when she was around 3. Her father and I could not handle seeing Shrek again. Sanity was at stake.

       Yeah, what I'm referring to isn't so subtle, as it's literally called: The day my butt went psycho.


       We learned our lesson and threw out the dvd players in a similar manner, but for us the culprit was Finding Nemo, can't tell you how many times I've been forced to listen to/sing the just keep swimming song.

    Has anyone so far started working with WebGL filters in RMMV 1.3?


    It seems like vTextureCoord in PIXI v4 now also takes the overall position of the sprite into account, meaning the filter behaves differently, when the sprite moves around.


    I don't recall it being like this in older versions, which really throws off the filters i've done so far...
    Iavra
    So, apparently WebGL filters in 1.3 work completely different from before...someone has a working polar-rectangular conversion for me? :p

    I need to make some modifications on an application i wrote 4 years ago. Find myself wondering more and more why i did it the way i did and would like to rewrite the whole thing :D


    It will get replaced sometime soon, though, so i need to do it with minimal effort.

    I kinda lost all incentive to do something with MV, now :( Basically all of my ideas require WebGL filters, that won't work in the current PIXI version and i'm way too lazy to modify/rebuild the engine (also, i generally want my plugins to work for everyone, not just me).


    Simple plugins or generic RPGs don't fancy me and i've already rebuilt the particle engine like 7 or 8 times, so i've probably seen everything there's to it.
    Iavra
    Seems like i've come to a dead end with my lighting. There are 2 problems i can't solve:


    - Unless i want the shadowcasters to be fully shadowed, themselves, i can't make them visible, as light (and shadow) are drawn on top of them.


    - MV's PIXI version has some serious bugs with filters, that receive other textures as uniforms (like the AlphaMaskFilter). I just can't get it to work with the correct coordinates.


    If i wanted to create my own game, i would probably build a new engine from scratch at this point, recycling some MV parts and PIXI v3. Since i don't want to, i will probably go back to the particle engine...at least that one works.

    I could actually solve the first issue by calculating the shadow for each caster separately (only during the first pass, i can merge afterwards) and exclude the original texture, so casters behind each other would still be shadowed.


    But this won't work, because the AlphaMaskFilter is bugged beyond repair and i can't seem to find a WebGL blendMode to subtract one image's alpha value from another -.-


    I think i'm giving up at this point.

    Just changed light bulbs on my car...1 hour working blind with just enough space for a single hand. About 0° C and windy. I think i deserved a warm chocolate, now :D

    I'm not even finished, since there's another light, than needs to be changed. It's probably easier to explain in german:


    Meine Abblendlichter hab ich gewechselt, allerdings ist das Standlicht auf der Beifahrerseite kaputt, und da komm ich von oben nicht ran. Also müsste ich das Rad abmachen und die Abdeckung vom Radkasten öffnen, was mir persönlich zuviel Arbeit ist. Ich warte lieber, bis ich Reifen wechseln muss, die sowieso ausgewuchtet werden müssen. Dann können die in der Werkstatt auch gleich die Lampe wechseln.

    Yes you do!  And BTW... nice feat!

    Aaand i'm back to square 1...my code works as long, as it's used as a shader, but as soon as i use it as a filter, i'm seeing nothing at all -.- But i need to use filters, because shaders are bugged and can't deal with additional texture parameters.


    If any is interested (i guess not), that's the GLSL code so far to perform polar-rectangular-conversion on a texture:

    Code: 
    #define PI 3.14

precision mediump float;
varying vec2 vTextureCoord;
uniform sampler2D uSampler;

void main(void) {',
    vec2 norm = vTextureCoord * 2.0 - 1.0;
    float theta = PI + norm.x * PI;
    float r = (1.0 + norm.y) * 0.5;
    vec2 coord = vec2(-r * sin(theta), -r * cos(theta)) / 2.0 + 0.5;
    gl_FragColor = texture2D(uSampler, coord);
}

    There doesn't happen to be any math and/or WebGL crack around here, who know what to do? :D

    Ohh, I see. Seems weird, but I suppose it makes an odd kind of sense. I wish I could help, because I could really use what you're trying to do here!

    GLSL itself isn't that hard, but i haven't found a real explanation for the math part, anywhere and it seems like shaders behave differently than filters. For an example, y coordinates in shaders start at the top, while filters start at the bottom.


    Since i don't know, how exactly the math works, i can't even start to properly convert it from one system to the other and end up randomly throwing numbers around.

    Well, sometimes that's programming. Just try things and see what happens. That's what the guys at work do to me. Go change this. It's in that giant codebase somewhere. You'll get it.

Is it me or are steam reviews getting more and more useless? I'm finding a lot of games now the reviews are like great plot well developed characters...and the truth is far from that.

Or the 'plot' is the AO patch.

Or both.

Rare 2nd Status Post: I do everything the most complicated way possible at first. I was just experimenting with fading in a picture by using the Show Picture command with a tiny Wait and changing the Opacity. When it finally looked right, I realized I could use a Loop & script to condense everything down to just a couple lines in the Event instead of hundreds of lines. DOH! But hey, I learned something new.
