animated load screen

[Ebonfix]

so is there a way you could load a gif or multiple images as the loading screen?

I've moved this thread to JS Plugin Requests. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

I would recommend against using gifs as loading images, as they can have the opposite effect to what is intended: if something goes wrong, they tell the player something is definitely happening, when it quite possibly isn't. Which is frustrating.

(Better option would be a loading image that updates every few frames by the game engine, exactly like a gif but actually a representation of what is or isn't going on.)

 

[Ebonfix]

so like multiple images instead of a gif?

I will be providing a solution for animated loading screen.s

So, any chance to see a plugin for this?

Soulpour777  has a plugin similar to what you are searching for:

Unfortunately, that plugin doesn't cover the actual loading screen. I need a plugin that allows to have an animated loading screen instead of a static image.

I already did a gif plugin (which doesn't work in this case), so it shouldn't be too hard to create an animated loading screen. 


/edit: Sadly, i can't post again, but i will link the plugin, anyway:


http://pastebin.com/W2PiwBz0


Please give it a try and inform me of any changes you'd like to see. I should probably add an optional background image/color as well, as putting that into the image strip would only bloat the file for no reason.


//edit: Added an optional background image to be displayed behind the (animated) loading image. It will automatically be scaled to fit the screen, so if you only want a single color, you can use a 1x1 picture for that.

I've made some edits to SoulPour777 plugin so that it will play upon map transfers....or rather I used his code to edit a main js file to pull that off. I've tried contacting him to see if he could update his plugin to have this function. Check out the link and let me know what you think.

Thanks, I will give it a try!

Thank you, too!

How would you provide loading screen content in the first place? I notice sometimes there is a bit of lag when you are loading large projects in test mode but I'm not sure where this comes from? Or is this just simulated waiting periods done with the wait command and showing picture?

Are you referring to the lag of pressing the playtest button and the title screen? I've noticed that as well but I assume that to be a normal boot period for loading the the assets and running through the first thousand lines of code to cache some of them.


As for providing content for the loading screen the video above was a plugin from SoulPour777, It wasn't intended to be used for anything else other than saving and load the game. Nor was it set up for interchangeable assets, although I'm working on all of that now. I was hoping he would update the plug-in but if not I'll try to make my own and share credit with him.

 

[Skurge]

Mostly referring to the play test lag that's taking in all the content, what I'm really curious to know if the actual loader is really loading something or just providing a delay leaving an impression like it's genuinely loading something.

Did you mean that if Rename the Loading.png in the img/system folder as Loading_animated_10_20.png and add frames to it, will it work?

I really like this plugin!

There is a small change I would like to see. Instead of splitting the image, I'd like to have several pictures which should be shown in order (or random). Can you make this happen please?
