:roll:

Nice, just make it C&P.

At least write it out so people learn something from it.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Acruno - 18-08-2008

Sorry, I meant to mention, I will add explanations tomorrow, I just wanted to actually get it up first, a bit busy IRL at the moment :roll:


Re: Sliding Map Transition - TehGrunt - 20-08-2008

Seems to me like it needs Optimized Surfaces, because it uses MiddleBuffer, LowerBuffer, and UpperBuffer.

Then again, I'm probably wrong. :|


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Robin - 20-08-2008

It's built for the latest version of Mirage, which comes with optimised surfaces.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Acruno - 20-08-2008

It works fine with a Vanilla MS3.43, not sure what DFA and Dave has changed/removed since then though.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - GIAKEN - 20-08-2008

Wouldn't it be better to just move the map on the same layer instead of doing it on another one? It would be harder, however...I think?


Re: Sliding Map Transition - GIAKEN - 20-08-2008

Ah well I guess I just think of hard ways to do things. Tongue

Nice work, though.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Acruno - 21-08-2008

I've found a bug in the transition. When the map slides, it displays the tile at the top of the column that your tile is in, as opposed to the tile itself. I will have a look at the code and see what is wrong.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Rian - 22-08-2008

I support your decision.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Rian - 22-08-2008

I made a copy of it too. I also don't intend to use it on my game (nor scrolling maps). Though I do have a project in mind that sliding maps would be use full for, I think I'm just gonna use MS4 (or whatever it's called these days)


Re: Sliding Map Transition - wisefire - 24-08-2008

Damnett, I didn't get a copy of it.. Lol.

not like I'm going to use it though, because I'm trying to get scrolling maps working on mine.

You mean Dugor is.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - GIAKEN - 24-08-2008

Somebody PM this to me, please :?


Re: Sliding Map Transition - GIAKEN - 24-08-2008

I know I just want to see how you did it and since I've never tried to do it myself I don't know how to.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Matt - 25-08-2008

Download the source that has it? It's really not that hard.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Robin - 25-08-2008

Download the patch file and add it in? :|


Re: Sliding Map Transition - GIAKEN - 25-08-2008

It's not in the source yet besides the SVC patch (right?) and I can't get subversion to work yet.

It's plaintext. Open it in notepad or something.

No I did that and it was just a bunch of binary.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - Acruno - 25-08-2008

No..
Try again.
Trust me, it's in plaintext.


Re: Sliding Map Transition - GIAKEN - 25-08-2008

Oh...well I could have sworn it wasn't...

Well I got like 3 PMs and an email so I'm good. Thanks Wink

People enable people to be noobs Dave. You know that.

Giaken will forever be one. *shakes head* It's a shame.

I spy, with my little eye, hypocrisy.

A hypocrite is someone who...But then, who isn't?
