Hello
Haven’t used timelineFX since last Spring (2010). I have the latest version – 1.25, and I’ve got a few problems.
First off, every time I run some code that uses timelineFX, I get “Debuglog: GREYSCALE” dumped into the debuglog.
Second, my particle effects in my game, run at approximately double the speed they run at in the editor. My timing code is below although its identical to the code I used for Magicville with older versions of TimelineFX, and it worked fine then.
Repeat
Repeat
Self.timing.SUelapsed=MilliSecs()-Self.timing.SUtime
Until Self.timing.SUelapsed
Self.timing.SUticks=Self.timing.SUelapsed/Self.timing.SUperiod
If Self.timing.SUticks>1000 Then Self.timing.SUticks=1
For Self.timing.SU=1 To Self.timing.SUticks
Self.timing.SUtime = Self.timing.SUtime + Self.timing.SUperiod
UpdateLogic()
Next
Cls
Self.DrawScreen()
Flip True
ForeverMy timing object looks like this:
Type tGameTiming
Field ReqFPS:Int = 60 ' how often to update logic
Field SUperiod:Int = 1000 / ReqFPS
Field SUtime:Int = MilliSecs() - SUperiod
Field SUelapsed:Int
Field SU:Int
Field SUticks:Int
Method resetTiming()
SUperiod = 1000 / ReqFPS
SUtime = MilliSecs()-SUperiod
SUelapsed = 0
SU = 0
SUticks = 0
End Method
End Type
Any clues as to why I’m seeing such a difference in effect speed?
[edit] Just checked with 1.17 (the only other version I’ve got) and I get the same speed difference there, too.
What am I doing wrong?
Never mind on the speed thing – rebuilt mods and it seems fairly normal now.
Still got the debuglog thing, though!
Hey GfK, yeh that debuglog thing is prolly something left over from when I was debugging something or other, will sort it as soon as poss. At the mo I’ve just moved house and on top of that the PSU on my main dev PC has blown up 🙂 but hopefully I should be all systems go on wednesday ish. I’ll do a quick SVN update then.
Any ETA on this being fixed? Or can you point me in the right direction to remove the debug stuff myself?
Ta!
ok, it was a friends leaving do at work yesterday so I never got a chance, but will definitely sort today! 🙂
Hey GfK, I just committed a new version, but to be honest I couldn’t actually find any debuglog in there any where, so I think I may have already taken it out at some point but not actually committed for some reason. Try updating to the latest version via SVN and rebuilding and see if it’s still there. Cheers!
