Last post by nabz32 - 2024-Jun-18Hi Gernot, the Problem is rather finding the polygons for the triangulation dynamically.
I have run into two problems while developing further:
I noticed that I can´t make faces transparent using alphamode when I colored them, I wanted to make different shades for the lawn tiles based on their angles, so I created 16 plains with vertex colors ranged from rgb(0,0,0) to rgb(255,255,255), it looks really nice, but the faces that have not rgb(255,255,255) won´t render transparency (ghosting) correctly, they just stay solid (transparent texture color is not displayed, as it should be).
Is this a known bug, is there a workaround for this?
Also I noticed some performance decrease where I just can´t find the reason, when the player is above a hole the performance drops for some reason, are there some performance analysis tools in the GLBasic IDE? Otherwise I need to log each function call and its duration manually to find the culpit.
I also made up my mind of the new direction of the actual game I want to build of this and made some gameplay drafts ( in Notepad++ ). Basically it will be focused on melee combat with enemies, the jump and run aspect will still be there but not as dominant like in the previous formula. And of course it will have a (hopefully ) nice story. Graphics wise I will polish it a bit, but I will still go for this N64 retro look.

Bug Reports / Jpg doesn't work
Last post by Qedo - 2024-Jun-18Hello everyone
I have a problem with GLB steam version 16793 win 10 which didn't exist until 15 days ago and therefore shouldn't be a bug.
It happened that win10 got corrupted and I had to reinstall the OS and also Glbasic by downloading correctly from Steam.
From that moment on, any glbasic program no longer recognizes jpg files, only png and bmp.
name_jpg$="D:/greg66.jpg"
IF DOESFILEEXIST(name_jpg$)
LOADSPRITE name_jpg,10
DRAWSPRITE 10,0,0
GETSPRITESIZE 10,ssx,ssy // result ssx=0 and ssy=0
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
endif
With this example program nothing is displayed
Anyone have any ideas?
PS with Glbasic15 no problem everything works

Last post by dreamerman - 2024-May-16And what kind of monitor do you use? Standard standalone or some laptop built-in, crucial thing is, does it use PWM for dimming/regulating brightness or DC. Personally I get headache from monitors that use PWM.

Last post by MrPlow - 2024-May-15Thanks - good idea - Just download f.lux and eye-saver programs for windows - see if they help
I will try dark theme too - but in past that didnt help the motion issues...

Last post by dreamerman - 2024-May-15Another thing (beside larger font with bold style) that I can advise is to use dark theme, as it is gentler on they eyes.
What kind of monitor are you using? Playing with blue light filter/color temperature, brightness and contrast may help a little - like one preset for coding/browsing, other for watching movies/YT.
