Newbie questions (Fusion 2.5)

[Perry]

Hi, I am completely new to CF 2.5.
Played with the Example tutorial and things looking nice.

have a few questions

1. IS there somewhere a complete manual, like PDF ? found a help file within the program, but would like to read offline while I am doing other things.

2. The screensize I know you can change, but do you have the option to resize your window(or make it fullscreen) so that everything else resizes as well?

I'm looking into creating a logic game

Attachment 11329

So that's probably a huge challenge for me... unless there are some examples somewhere...


Thank you

ps. sorry wouldn't let me post an url to show

For the first one, I don't believe a complete manual has been wrote for Fusion 2.5 in particular yet. I think there are quite a few manuals and guides and stuff like that for MMF2, though. If a tutorial is what you wish for, then I do believe that there are a few in the beta-test forum for Fusion 2.5, but that isn't open to the public yet, unfortunately.

For the second one, there are actually a few options. The easiest one is to use the Ultimate Fullscreen object and let it change the properties for you. It also will make your game maintain its aspect ratio, meaning it will display black border on the sides if the aspect ratio of your game is different from the aspect ratio of the monitor. This will also make it so the user can stretch the game to any size they want. There are more options, so, if this one doesn't suit your needs, then let me know.

Thank you.
I downloaded it, trying to figure out how to add this to CF 2.5 have an mfx file and no clue what to do with it..

[happygreenfrog]

You put the MFX file in the folder labeled "Extensions" under the same directory that CF 2.5 was installed in, if I remember correctly.

[Perry]

That did the trick.
Thank you.

You're welcome! For future reference, this is where you should post questions about MMF2/CF 2.5: http://community.clickteam.com/forums/190-Multimedia-Fusion-2-Technical-Support

Funny you mentioned that... That's where I posted it last night..
Thought maybe the mods moved it for some reason.

[happygreenfrog]

That's weird. I don't know of any mods that would move it from the most relevant location possible to a much less relevant location. The only places here that I can think of that would be less relevant for this post would be articles or paid requests.
