> You know what would also be cool? Platforms that move. (left/right, up/down) Either when you step on them or by themselves. You know like they move back and forth and you have to time your jump just right or something.

I like that idea, a lot. I'll write all these down!

[Chakkra]

Oh, before I forget, does this engine support diagonal ground tiles yet?

[shadowdeath]

No, I don't believe so…I think.
I may or may not have tried it.
;D

@Chakkra:

Currently it supports a very **rough** version called "Sloper Tiles." It hasn't been debugged as far as offset variables are concerned. It works, though. It can definitely be improved.

[Chakkra]

I'm guessing after pixel movement is implemented, it will work a lot better?

[shadowdeath]

@Miguu
Really? I tried it as a test and it failed.

[mrmiguu]

@Chakkra:

Yup. Offsets turn out to be a real issue with side-scrollers. Don't worry. We'll get this all figured out. I want the best for you guys because I love Eclipse like that.

Hmm. It might very well be bugged still. I just gave it some tests. I didn't test it enough to find any loopholes. That's what you guys are for, though. To test the engine from all different angles.

[shadowdeath]

When I tries it, I used the "Sloper Tiles" and I fell through the floor and got stuck on the top row of tiles with out anyway of getting back.
I had all the attributes set right.

[Chakkra]

I'm excited for the new PV (If it has all of the features I presume)! I'm startin' my tiles again.

You need to look at map 2 for reference. I think I have it setup to where you need a platform tile beneath each slope tile.

[shadowdeath]

@Miguu
Ah….I see. That could do it.

[luriok]

Man I'm getting all hyped for this PV with pixel movement.

[shadowdeath]

Yes. I bet you are…As am I my friend.

how to make player sprites 96x96 in PV stable ?

@ramoneknot:

> how to make player sprites 96x96 in PV stable ?

You need to change how the engine reads sprites by altering _sub bltplayer(byval index as long)_

[ramoneknot]

and bltplayer top right?

[mrmiguu]

@ramoneknot:

> and bltplayer top right?

Yes. Sorry, forgot about that. Make sure both are 1/2 the height of 96 since they display on top of each other.

[Bafoon]

I found a massive bug. Im not sure if its just me or what. But everytime I log out on a platform attribute, which I must, obviously, I get a bug saying PV Origins cant respond and it glitches out. I've made multiple accounts and tried it and it does it everytime. Is there an easy fix or is this a major bug everyone is getting?

[Carim123]

Maybe it's just you.

Hey, Miguu, can you help me out here?

I read on the "changelog" file, and it claims that:

**- NPC animations dynamic like player sprites.**
I tried, but instead I get an entire row of dynamic sprites showing up.

**- Allow NPCs to fall off the edge of platforms**
Maybe it's just me, but it never seems to happen, for me anyway.

**- Added spring tiles.**
I can't see it…?

**- Added option to choose fullscreen mode.**
How?

Sorry if I'm being irritating, but…

Sorry. Forgot to include that those were pending and not actually in the engine. They didn't have the [DONE] in front of them.

I don't think so. Can't remember exactly when it happens. If you could, which would be great, fill me in on when you get that error.

[Carim123]

K, thanks Miguu.  :azn:

[Lavos]

Has the connection issue with PV Origins been fixed yet? Just wondering about it.
