Better tile support, with true GUI mode for drawning like most other editors offer, it's extremely difficult to create something complex with the current tile set editor and it takes way to much storage space on PocketPC devices to use multiple layers of huge images rather than tiles.

Rotation under key control

Postby IPete2 » Fri Feb 04, 2005 11:34 am

2d - clockwise/anticlockwise rotation of actors (animated or static) is desperately needed fo lots of game types.

This would save a lot of memory, although it may be that Pocket PC doesn't have the grunt to achieve it. I would have thought that if transpanacy is available then roation shouldn't be too far behind!

Imagine - you have a creature animation viewed from above, or a spaceship attacking (again viewed from above) or a magic spell viewed from front, or a simple shape such as a cube... adding a rotation in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction (RotationAngle) for example would simply rotate the graphic this much in the + or - direction.

It would be an extremely useful addition to the GE system power.

Docs, Alignment, Scale, Rotate, Lighting

Postby Cleve Blakemore » Wed Feb 16, 2005 3:54 am

There needs to be far better documentation for the editor, most of the CHM file is incorrectly linked to topic and the documentation that is there is very sparse. More in depth coverage of scripting access to things like paths and regions and manipulating the view.

There also needs to be much finer control over alignment and positioning of actors apart from the mouse dragging. Menus like those seen in Visual Basic or C++ Builder to align, size and stagger actors correctly.

For example : Center in view window for text actors being used as menu buttons, or align to left ... or even a popup dialog to permit direct entry of offset values. The ability to select and stagger at even intervals a group of actors.

Also needed in upper right corner is X,Y offset from view corner in addition to global offet, current actor info (name, size, etc.) to get precise positioning and size of interface components and widgets relative to the view itself or the screen area.

Obviously, scaling, rotation and light sourcing, being built into the Kyra engine, must be in the next version and would be greatly appreciated. A whole new world of opportunity opens up once scaling and rotating through script or design time becomes available. A lot of particle effects can be enhanced through use of scaling and rotations.

Yes I can. :)

Imagine a player, an enemy and a wall.

If the player is standing behind the wall the enemy cannot see him.

The enemy has no Line Of Sight to the player.

The enemy may not attack because it cannot see the player.


I have designed a function specification that would work for many types of games:

What about the ability of changing actor's pivot ? That would be an incredible change !

The most important feature at the moment for me vould be support for video files without converting them to huge inefective GIF files.

You can't use video files like mpg, but you can use any image format to import big animations. This animation will be loaded on demand with a small memory usage.

Then can you reccommend a way to convert uncompressed avi files or codecs over to tiles and preferable a way to keep the audio in sync. Thank you.
