That is actually how we do get most developers, that is also how I actually came to this project, when YYG kicked me out for criticizing them one day. After having bought GM8.1 I will never buy another version of GameMaker.

General ENIGMA / Re: DevOps
« on: January 22, 2014, 04:52:23 pm »Quote
Paying $800 is one thing but their IDE is utter rubbish. It is clear that their software does not support large projects and large resources, the IDE simply crashes. And $299 for their YYC compiler which is a joke, that in my opinion is highly excessive and hype.I do hope you mean their IDE and not LateralGM, because after a bug fix the other day it loads TKG's 100MB GMX in 5.8 seconds flat for me. It is also loads and ENIGMA runs my 3D Mario game, which is also a big project.
That said, this topic is specifically regarding criticism of me, so unless you have something specific to criticize regarding my development habits, and me personally, keep it in off-topic, please.

Not sure what unmonitored contributions I allowed when I was active on the project. Or did you mean another word other than "retort"?No actually, I meant what I said, I thought you are saying that is what I do.

Actually I feel I followed the extreme opposite of that, which I now think is precisely why LGM stagnated in both developers and development -- because every commit had to be reviewed by myself.Nonsense, the issue isn't that commits need reviewed, because they do, the issue is due process, it should be done in a timely fashion.

General ENIGMA / Re: All Roads Lead To Rome
« on: January 22, 2014, 04:46:46 pm »
A couple of things, first, LGM is not ENIGMA, it is a separate project founded and lead by IsmAvatar, which ENIGMA just happens to use.
There are multiple IDE projects, the developers here may or may not be affiliated with them, but it is important to note they are not the ENIGMA project, the ENIGMA project is nothing more than a compiler and engine. Criticism of any IDE project, is not to be given to ENIGMA, and is off-topic, thus why none of the poll options are related to LGM, at least not directly.
Quote
In my opinion I would put new platforms at #3 or even #4.File conversion is currently the main selling point of LGM, it is what most people want to use it for, as I said in another post, I've had the unpleasant experience of people showing up using LGM to convert a GMX file, and then telling me to fuck off about the engine, and then leaving.

Nah, we're open to any and all criticism, my only concern as this doesn't spread out to 50 different topics and end up in peoples help desk topics, as that is rude.

Personally I think no one should brag but still it's a public forum here with no rules so yes we have the technically capability to do as we please here.Nonsense, we should all be open to criticism, otherwise we are never presented with the opportunity for improvement.

I have actually been thinking about this for a while. As you can see on the Wiki...

These can be put through an XML processor and turned into other formats. I have not event tried to do it before though.
Edit: If you don't mind I am going to move this to Proposals, since this really isn't all that off-topic.

It's easy for you lot to say "Oh we don't have to do this or we are not required to do that, it's free" rubbish, fine, but this is besides the point....you talk rubbish about another product, well can you deliver any better ?Maybe you are missing the point entirely, there are thousands of better game engines much better designed than GameMaker, much more stable, and much more complete. Take Unity3D for instance, whose free version has essentially no restrictions for indie developers, unless you make profits over 100 grand, in which case you are no longer and indie.
Quote
and I am shocked at how it stalled and where it is heading, that's all...How has it stalled? It stalled temporarily due to commitments by some of the developers to things regarding their personal life. I partially stalled and got a little lazy lately, but what do you expect, when I have absolutely 0 incentive to do so much work. You can't dispute the fact I put a LOT of effort into this project, I became one of the 3% most active developers on GitHub as a result.
Where is it heading? Anywhere its developers or users want to take it, the project belongs to everyone. I even wrote a small library for loading action libraries yesterday, what person in their right mind that isn't as insane as I am, would even waste their time?
Quote
.Unlike what you think I DO want to see ENIGMA compete and do better.The project doesn't have to compete in order to be useful or popular. LGM has a wide array of usages, one being the only IDE that can edit GMX or GMK on an operating system other than Windows, GM don't unless you use an emulator. The other being file conversion between all formats, I've even had to deal with people looking to convert a Studio project back to GM81, and basically telling me to fuck off about the engine after having converted the project. But never the less, it served a purpose.
Quote
Mentioning competing software on that site, especially in a positive light, is prohibited.Mike Dailly said something along the lines of "I don't know if anyone has heard of this rubbish or not, but I have tried on several occasions to get the thing working and couldn't, keep this garbage off our forums", I am paraphrasing of course because I don't have the exact topic, but it is still on their staff board.
Quote
I think it's mostly Robert who bashes YYG. It's always on his mind lol, it's just his personality to be really competitive.Actually, I bash ENIGMA just as much, so you can't say I am not fair and balanced. I am like Fox News if they tried to kill themselves. Some of my complaints recently are drawing functions not being designed for optimized rendering. DaSpirit, you know this, you read my posts, I criticize everything and everybody.

Josh just merged my commit fixing the stretching issue in GL3 on two games.
https://github.com/enigma-dev/enigma-dev/pull/624
If you can supply me with a GMK I can see if it fixes in your game as well, or you can open git-bash and try it yourself by typing "update" and hitting enter then reloading it and testing the game with OpenGL3.

General ENIGMA / Action Library Reader
« on: January 21, 2014, 12:34:26 am »
Well, it came time for someone to port the Java LGM Action Library code over to C++, so Josh asked me to do so, and I did. I have created this repository it the hopes that it will be useful, but the main reason is to help NGM out and anyone who wants to make an IDE.
The lib is licensed GPL, you can find out information including further license details in its repository.
https://github.com/enigma-dev/ActionLibraryReader
It has not been tested yet, but the LGL format has an issue at the moment with being able to load and split the subimages for the actions, but LIB format is completed.

In addition to this ego, I hope my fix worked, but I just finally realized, Studio corrupted your project. A fresh extraction of your game and viewing the rooms/main.room.gmx you can see in the following code that there are a ton of instances placed with no object type.
Now when I open up the GMX in ENIGMA, it becomes clear what happened.
Studio placed a null instance of no object type, everywhere you placed a tile, notice I deleted some in the top left of the room to show the tiles underneath.
