  • dazedangels do you get this kind of issue too?

    I've been experimenting with 3D too, but I can't solve this problem where when transparent sprites/boards go past each other there's a weird glitch.

    Even with different layers and changing draw order.

  • The notifications list is much better than it use to be.

    2 suggestions:

    • Clicking on the link, or marking them all as read, should clear the list, so you don't see that entry again until a new update comes through. It causes confusion, my expectation is that once I've viewed the notification that it would go away, so when I see it still on the list it makes me think there is a new post. (Imagine if you could never clear the list of notifications on your phone.)

    • The default drop down size of the list is too small, I can only see 1 full notification at a time, the list could drop much lower on the screen and show multiple entries at a time.

    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to use this to make billboards?

  • Thank you for your plugins!

    Would it be okay to get an example of a billboard with this 3D object? The ones in your piggy example show a 3D model, but the billboards are still 3Dshapes.

  • Fantastic, thank you!

  • Is there an easy way to get the Date from an online source?

    The date object only gives user's time, which is easy to manipulate/cheat.

    I need a reliable/accurate date for my time sensitive leaderboards.

  • Does Advanced Minify change all variable names (global etc.)? The manual doesn't say what it does specifically.

  • If you put the flat sprites/billboards on their own layer on top, with the 3D boxes on a lower layer, does that help?

  • yeah I had to switch to just using the browser, it feels worse and is not as well featured as this desktop version, but it works!

  • bump

    This is essential for pixel art developers

  • Yep, sometimes unzipping then zipping it again doesn't work for me, so I just directly open the .c3p file with 7zip without unpacking it.

  • there's a button that takes you to settings, you can then change which version you want to use!
