just for the record - by stepping I meant location change. Not actor walking.

Technical forum / Re: Strange Crash When Playing Loaded Games
« on: July 23, 2013, 05:31:23 PM »
Old J.U.L.I.A. containing scrolling scenes sometimes crashes with 1.10.1 too. No layer / node deletion takes place. It's entirely random though like 1/10 saves and always after load. Saving works well...

I did continue method in J.U.L.I.A. and it's a bit tricky. However I risk that you don't understand me and my French is no longer usable. If you understand English, I'll post you how I did it...

Technical forum / Re: Change the camera FOV in script ?
« on: July 20, 2013, 11:18:01 PM »
I recall having two cameras each with different FOV and switching them in one project I was using 2.5D
It's a long time ago though.

Keep in mind, that WME loads all visuals for the scene immediately. having four views in one scene might potentially feel that the game is stuttering because turning would be instant while stepping would be slower (of course this depends on resolution / computer). I would never do this on iOS for example.
Having scene per view could lead to much stable performance.
It also really depends on what is inside. If it's eg. just static shots, you can simply have one scene for 4 sides and dynamically load each image while having all region entities layered in SceneEdit.
It would look like this:
main layer - just the background image
front layer - all region entities for front
right layer - all region entities for right
etc...
Then with each turn you simply load correct image for background and activate corresponding control layer.
But I would not recommend this with heavily animated scenes because it could become messy unless you are good with creating dynamic environments.
Just my 2 cents.

Technical forum / Re: font size
« on: June 08, 2013, 01:00:00 AM »
for true type font you simply type size in font file:
TTFONT
{
SIZE = 21
FACE = "Verdana"
BOLD = FALSE
ITALIC = FALSE
UNDERLINE = FALSE
STRIKE = FALSE
CHARSET = 1
COLOR { 255, 255, 255 }
ALPHA = 255
}

Bug reports / Dual monitor support bug - incorrect mouse region
« on: April 19, 2013, 11:44:24 AM »
I have two monitors and WME allows me to use either first or the second by selecting on of the two (same) gfx cards.
The image is displayed correctly on the first or the second screen, however the mouse is locked on the very first screen regardless of the gfx card selected so I can't interact with the game at all.
Tested on 1920x1080, dual monitor. Fullscreen.
Thank you!
Edit: Also it's set to extension mode so one huge desktop spanning two screens.

Community bulletin board / J.U.L.I.A. (WME game) is on Greenlight - please Upvote
« on: January 23, 2013, 11:08:13 AM »
Dear muties,
as many of you know, we had to go through expensive legal proceedings with Lace Mamba Global to get back rights. They never paid us a single cent for the release even if the game was quite succesful. We're currently trying to recover from this blow and since (from yesterday) our rights are back, I'd like to ask you for support.
Please go to:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122116943
This will cost you nothing and get you remastered version with some fixes and slight changes (released as a patch for those who already own J.U.L.I.A.) if we are greenlit. For us this means to recover at least some of the ongoing 3 years time and money investition into the biggest WME game we've ever created.
Thank you for considering to support us and all the best,

Bug reports / Re: 3d character looped animation
« on: January 17, 2013, 10:36:57 AM »
I bet on badly exported animation. I used this all the time and never get this problem. You probably exported one (or more) frames than the actual animation consists of. It's not WME bug but rather poorly exported animation in my opinion.

Technical forum / Re: Check if item have been taken
« on: October 07, 2012, 12:17:22 AM »
To be honest - this "check in the loop" is a terrible advice. It will add a lot of unpredictability to your game. Typically when another action will be taking place suddenly player gets random scene change. Is it what you want?
What I personally would do is to make a global Scene method which would be called after each TakeItem.
So:
in scene_init.script
then when you pick either of those items simply do:
This way you exactly can control where your scene changing occurs and you'll save yourself tons of pulled hair from impossible to replicate bugs reported by your testers.
Just my 2 cents.

Technical forum / Re: How does Scene.GetLayer works?
« on: September 26, 2012, 10:20:31 PM »
Ah! I see what you are trying to do now.
It would indeed be better to use separate scene. However if zou insist on one scene, put this background not as a layer but as an entity to the main layer. Then switch it on through var ent = Scene.GetNode("club2"); ent.Active = true; Also don't forget to reposition actor with actor.SkipTo() to adjust to the new camera.

It shouldn't be like that. How about if you ziped some minimalistic project and send it to me? It's really a guesswork right now as it should work and you probably just do multiple things wrong. PM me a link and I'll help you more easily.
