For the record, I tested and it does not work with sub apps.

Another follow-up. My previous solution still works, but I would like to know if it's possible to get this fixed so that sub-applications can adhere to the layers order. For example, if I have a...

You are an absolute lifesaver. I don't have any sound effects in this particular project, yet, but I did have a sound clip I was using for testing purposes and I removed that to get everything...

I am having this issue as well, although I think it's related to the iOS version because on an older iPhone it's still working. I can't get it past the "wait for touch" on iOS 14 (this was possibly a...

Thank you for your response, Looki. It is not something urgently needed and I am currently using the workaround of just keeping HWA disabled. It would be amazing if it could work with HWA someday...

Ah, I had ruled out an ALWAYS spread action because I almost never use ALWAYS as a general rule. I will see what impact this has on the game. Thanks for the suggestion.

So after more testing, it's definitely an issue with HWA. If I keep HWA target disabled, the output is exactly like the GIMP output, with the alpha channels blending perfectly. Once HWA gets turned...

It looks like the results are the same no matter if I'm running in DX9 or DX11. The only way to get this to blit properly is to disable HWA, which of course makes the operations take about 10x as...

Switching to DX9 doesn't change anything.

Trying again.

Here is an example. I've included the circles and the mfa. I also noticed that it doesn't matter if I have "convert to HWA texture" or not. It seems to only care if image 0 has "convert to HWA...

Per your suggestion I tried all of the effects options. I tried all of the "Set by Index" options, but aside from a few cool effects nothing was useful. As an aside, I tried the tinting effect and...

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I have "Enable blit alpha composition" and "Enable blit transparency" turned on.

I discovered that if I remove the actions "Convert to HWA target" on image 0 and "Convert...

Oh, okay, I didn't know that. Yes, there must have been some codec pack installed at some point. So if I understand correctly, I can still have my app running in DirectX 9, but just use DirectX 11...

I think maybe there was a recent update to the Active Direct Show Object because it wasn't playing videos for me before unless I turned on DirectX 11 for my entire app but now it is! So that's...

Would anyone know if this was ever converted to DX11? shapemask2.zip

Did you ever find a converted version of this? I am trying to find a DX11 version as well.

I really appreciate you working so hard on this. I know that normally it's an issue with AV programs, but when I didn't change anything significant in my code and I'm suddenly getting a lot of false...

One of my clients has been losing a lot of customers because of this. I'm wondering if I should try to rollback to an older version?

Any possibility of increasing the limits of this object for both name length, and more importantly, number of scores?

I have encountered issues similar to this before, and it drove me mad trying to figure out what was going on. My quick solution was to create a little countdown timer which subtracts 1 every .01...

I agree. The more time I spend on this, the more I realize it's something that needs to be corrected in the exporter. Not to mention the buttons and edit objects are all messed up as well.

I appreciate the suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't affect the edit objects the way it does the strings and graphics.

Just a special note to anyone else who comes across this thread and wants to do something similar with INI++ formatting, be aware that the Lua script removing tabs will break the subgroups option in...

Thank you for responding and for explaining how some of it works! I got used to being able to use tabs for formatting code in other scripts and then realized my ini files would be much easier to read...

Thank you again, for your help.

It looks like it DOES allow multiline entries like this:
line=
command
string1
string2
etc

But it doesn't automatically remove the TABs, so I end up with...

I guess it's my fault because in my original example I had:
item=
this
is
a
string

But the way my scripting works if the first string following the "=" is like a command, with the following...

Well I figured that part out, but I was trying to make it so I could have something directly following the "=" because right now it only works if I do this:

item=
string1
string2
string3

And...

Sorry to bother you again. Would you be able to help me with one more thing? I've been able to replace the \n with a delimiter I use ($), but I can't seem to get the script modified to allow me to do...

Yes, that did the trick! Wow, amazing help! And yeah, I didn't know Lua could do all of this (well, I didn't even know what Lua was). I might need to delve deeper into this scripting. It could cut...

Wow! I tried it out and it works great! I realize INI++ would destroy my formatting if I tried to save back, but seeing as I use a different file for saving purposes, and I only needed in a read-only...

I am thinking maybe if I can figure out how to replace all strings between two delimiters $NewLine and "=", then it could at least detect when it's truly a new item because it would recognize the "="...

Wow, this is a great reply! I'm very appreciative of your help. I've not had experience with Lua so it's all new to me, although I have the Dev version of Fusion 2.5+ so I'm not limited by extension...

Hi Jax. Yes, this would be mostly for formatting purposes. From a scripting perspective, it really helps to be able to format an ini similarly to other coding languages for ease of use and...

Would it be possible to add sometime in the future, a setting which would allow a value to have a real carriage return? I know you can do the \n escape character but I would like to be able to have a...

I've been doing that as well, but I wanted to be able to have multiple lines in an ini file work as a single item, so instead of using a code as a delimiter I could use a NewLine$ as a delimiter, and...

I forgot I could upload and attach files here.

I appreciate the suggestion, but it doesn't work.

I have attached a sample so you can see my attempt to implement this.

Thanks for checking that. I have a LOT of code, so there might be something else going on elsewhere. It's really strange, but I ended up just rewriting those lines so the child actions only went down...

I am trying to figure out if it's possible to have an ini file handled with the INI++ object remove line breaks (i.e. carriage returns / NewLine$) from the file so a value can be retrieved from...

It looks like the "Break" action is not firing when it's in a third-tier child or greater. When I have it in a first or second child event it works.

I can't seem to find this action anywhere. Trying to use it to Preload images for an HTML5 app.

I ended up building to a new folder and it started working. The only thing I can think is the first time I did a build I didn't have the Multiple Touch extension, so subsequent builds to that folder...

Well, that is true. I just through maybe since the Multiple Touch extension is having problems in both Android and HTML5, maybe the issues were linked.

Any idea why Multiple Touch would be working...

Is it possible this bug is with the entire Multiple Touch extension? I haven't been working with Android recently, but I have discovered that if I Build & Run an HTML5 app the Multiple Touch...

Oh wow, I couldn't figure out why this wasn't working. I didn't realize there was an issue until finding this thread. For me, it works fine when I do a Build & Run (with Edge browser) but if I upload...

Absolutely! It sounds like a lot of users would love an extension like this.

Thanks for sending me the beta. It works great! I just switched to DirectX11 and it loaded up an MP4 encoded with h.264 no problem. I didn't even have to do a "Build and Run" like I normally do with...

Would the VLC extension require the end user to install VLC as well or would this all be embedded in the EXE?

I agree. I really don't want to have to mess with having players download a codec pack. As I said, WMV would be fine it the framerate could be controlled. Right now I'm experimenting with loading...

I've touched on this in other threads, but I didn't see a thread dedicated to this issue so here it is.

It looks like "Set Rate" does not work for WMV files in the Direct Show object. It does,...

Maybe I'll do some testing to see how much I can push it. I just didn't want to bog everything down with MySQL queries which are going to return nothing most of the time.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've used VirtualDub, Adobe Media Encoder, and several others with different mp4 codecs like x264. They all play if I run them in "Movies and TV" or "Windows Media Player"...

I appreciate you checking for me. I've got the right codecs installed because I can play the MP4 videos directly from file explorer. Also, I am running in DirectX 9 mode, which I think provides the...

Do you know if there is a way to control the playback speed of a WMV file in MMF2.5? It looks like only AVI files are responding to the "Set Rate" action.

I'm also finding that MP4s do not play under any circumstances, including the method you recommended. I've also tried MP4s encoded a multitude of ways, including several which are considered native...

I load and play a video with the Direct Show object in Windows (using Build and Run) but if I use the "Set Rate" event it won't change the speed of the video. I have tried 50, 200, 300, etc. and the...

That is great insight. Thank you so much for responding!

Working on a small app which can communicate with other instances of the app via MySQL. For example, when USER1 sends a message it is stored in USER2's table with a binary switch set to let USER2's...

Nice! That sounds perfect. I'll check it out!

Oh, okay. I'll give that a try. Thank you!

Actually, this is weird. It wasn't the é causing the problem. It was an apostrophe I had along with the é and I removed them both, not realizing the ' was the problem.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just read the reply talking about using characters with accents. The filename had an é in it, and I assumed it was okay because it's part of a French name and, you know, Clickteam...

Yes, that sounds perfect.

Does this have a color swap function where you can pick, say red, with a certain tolerance, and it will swap it out for blue?

Also, would it be possible to change two colors at once? Red & blue...

I'm interested in this as well. Were you able to find anything? I'm sure I could code it myself, but I might be willing to pay for the code to save some time.

This is how I solved the issue.

Okay, thank you for the workaround, Yves.

It looks like if Direct3D 11 is being used, the game will not change the font name with the "Set font name to" expression.

Yes, I was hoping to load them via expressions, but if that isn't possible then I understand. My scripting system works off recognizable names rather than assigned numbers, so it would be easier to...

Thanks Marv,

I think hex tiles look a lot better with a pointed top orientation because they work better with an isometric perspective. The flat top orientation has the effect of making hex tiles...

Another question: is there a way to change the orientation for the grid from a flat-top to a point-top hex pattern?

Thank you for the info, Fernando. I am running 292.7 but I probably haven't exported my apps since the new version so I'll go ahead and update all of my apps. Thanks, again.

My mistake. It is working. I just needed to do a full, final xCode build instead of an application build.

So I'm, once again, an idiot for not doing a complete final build. I was just doing an application build and copying the file over.

Fernando, if you hadn't confirmed it was working for you I...

Do we know if this is still working for iOS? It seems to be working fine in Windows but in iOS it doesn't work and I can't even get a counter to display the map width.

The Wargame Map Object works perfectly fine when I run it on Windows. However, when I try to run it in iOS the game acts like that object doesn't exist. It doesn't crash or anything, the game simply...

I ended up submitting a support ticket and they helped me out very quickly.

Ah, okay. That's good to know. It looks like the majority of active users are probably getting 2.5+ anyway so I probably won't worry about it. I just finished working on a really great example but...

This is what I'm saying. OHeight does not return the height of the string object. It returns the height of the string object down to the farthest point of actual text. If the string object dimensions...

The string object doesn't have a YScale. I noticed that using Bottom Edge of Y doesn't work either. The only workaround I've found so far is to have a line at the bottom edge of the object and...

Ah, that's a good question. I didn't think about variables.

So if I save an MFA which has child events in MMF 2.5+ and post it to the forum, then someone who doesn't have 2.5+ tries to open it, what will happen?

So I noticed that if I get a string's OWidth it will be the X size of the string object, but if I get a string's OHeight it will be dependent on how many lines the string currently has. Is there a...

The only objects I had other than normal strings, actives, etc. are iOS (not currently doing anything), ini, Screen Zoom, String tokenizer, and Layers. I didn't have camera or Picture object. Maybe...

That might work. Thank you again!

Ah I see. So it probably wouldn't be useful for saving data from an array.

I don't usually use Apple devices except to test apps, so this was driving me crazy. Thanks, Fernando!
