[PLUGIN] Paster

irina

You can rotate particular objects in the same way as the player polygon is isolated. When "loadobj" is called you can provide a "group" tag that you can use in the rotate function later so you can only affect those points when rotating. Zooming can be done by scaling. There is no function for it but it's just a matter of multiplying all ( or just a certain group) of points by a number. You can change the scaling center by doing this: x=scalefactor*(x-centerx)+centerx.

thanx... just one quick question... why is that not working on 6th example?

irina

I don't know, I haven't touched that capx in a while.

I have small issue with paster that loads image from url.

When i preview in Cocoon it shows images only in canvas+ not in webview or webview+

is that normal or is that plugins problem or cocoons problem?

how can i solve that?

thanx!!!!!

irina

Sorry, I don't really know. I haven't tried most of the exporters. The code that loads images from an URL is basically the same as the sprite object. So if loading works for the sprite object and not for the paster object then I'd guess it's an issue in the paster plugin.

I was thinking you could add new action free memory which is based from FileChooser has an action that could liberate memory.

In that case, I have a capx that would stack memory, it's worse.

Click image to destroy, until all images are destroyed and right click to recreate images from start, you see red text in bottom right it represents the memory is stacked.

An action shouldn't be needed, the textures are told to free in the appropriate places. I don't know why they aren't. I'll look into it more later.

I've searched around the thread but I couldn't get this to work:

I'm trying to take a screenshot of the whole layout. If I press P, Chrome downloads the test.png file but I can't open it. Not sure if I'm missing something, any help?

R0J0hound any ideas? I'm at a loss..

Sorry for the late reply. The saved file should open. Now the file may be a blank image, though. I wasn't able to get the action that copies from the canvas to be reliable all the time.

On another note the load texture from canvas action only loads what's on screen. Or should if it's working

Aah, that might be the problem then.. is there any way I could use this to take a screenshot of the whole layout? I'm trying to map my game and the default screenshot function in C2 doesn't do that, I was hoping this did.

Thanks!!

andreyin, you could try using paste families to achieve what you want with few events:

You can play tunes with the resolution etc to get the effect that you want.

You can use the system:snapshot layout action to do it. Just set the canvas size to the same as the layout, wait a frame for it to update and then save snapshot.

Tested to work here with a 4000x4000 layout.

Thanks for the help! R0J0's solution works perfectly. I can even name the screenshots to the actual layout I'm in so it will be pretty easy to map out my game. Only thing I had to change was the layout scale before taking the snapshot.
