yeah my concern with capturing to bmp is how processor intensive or memory intensive it is.... unless i can figure out how to make it do some sort of compression in the memory as it records

Anyone know how I can go about recording screen capture in a such a way that is not too processor intensive? any entensions that would help me achieve this?

Thanks guys, I will look into it!

Any idea of any extensions that might beable to convert text to voice? it doesn't need to sound fluid, just basic conversion.

I think you're reading from program files and writing to appdata so it shouldn't be a problem.

You'd only have problems if you're trying to write to program files.

I'm in the same camp by having some experience with Klik n' Play and Games Factory. As they added more features I was able to pick them up at a steady pace. I could imagine it can be overwhelming to...

All users would mean a computer with multiple logins would all share the same data, it's generally a bad idea for gaming as in theory Dad would share the same save data as little 5-year-old Jimmy,...

apppath$ will cause problems for users without administration privileges. Windows only allows non-admin users to read to C:\program files\ not write, so users will report their saves not being saved....

If you do want to go down the path of encryption, I recommend the Binary object. After messing around with the Blowfish extension for a while along with the INI++ encryption, I discovered Binary has...

A very basic algorithm is to use line of sight, record the last place that the enemy could establish line of sight, and then create a node at the location. Move the enemy towards that node, and once...

I think spread value works well as long as you've only got it on one line, an always event so that it can correct when objects are destroyed.

Instead of
On pressing space

This is the guide I used to getting signed for under $100. No problems, it's all done externally to MMF. You basically just feed in your installer .exe

I think if you load it into string parser and use "newline$" as a delimiter, you could count the number of items under list tokenizer. You could also load it into a list object but that would have a...

Based on the expected results posted, the formula needs to be:
round(x / 25) * 25

otherwise 49 will become 25, not 50 as requested.

Had a few more thoughts.
1) You'd want to have two proximity load functions, the first creates the objects and the second activates the physics when slightly closer, otherwise if you've got a stack...

Have you tried using the Surface object for screen capture? The original screen capture extension is fairly limited in functionality. There's a bit of a learning curve on the Surface object though.

Is there already a screen recording object for Fusion?
> Only screen capture, I've found the Surface object is best if you want to reuse or edit the captured screenshot within Fusion, Screen Capture...

If you can find ways to prevent backtracking, either with Mario 1 style one-way sidescrolling, or with jumps that can only be made one way, doors that close behind you or platforms that fall away,...

Temple run isn't really a fair comparison, it's core features are mainly checking for collision zones, all the 3D stuff is handled by the phone's graphics card, not really the game engine, although...
