Visionaire 5.0.4 update released

  • #10, by SimonSTuesday, 27. March 2018, 11:44 6 years ago
    @AFRLme: start color overlay is here since RC2.

    tween value tweens a value, can be used for the sound system.

    @TinTin: I need more info about your configuration, how many turn animations do you have and from where to where do they turn ?

    Did the walk sound value ever go down when the character walks back ?

    @Atrus: If you start on scene the game will set this character.

    @esmeralda: It seems some operators are not correctly working for the dialog part values. I'll collect bugs as always and then fix them in a bundle.

    Really? I never noticed. grin

    To be honest I don't remember, but then again I've been using a more dynamic approach since day one anyway. It's an interesting idea. Base the volume on the scale of the character, but it should be made optional if you decide to implement it as maybe not everyone will want it to work like that.

    Thank you for your update Simon, nice update.

    I agree with AFRLme. Here is my example how I proceeded in my project (I did not use lua but I did not reduce the volume when the character moves away, but it's a good idea smile)

    For step sounds, I used a value in each of my scenes. Then, I then defined in "At beginning of scene" :

    -- normal Ground

Value 'walksound' = 1



-- grass

Value 'walksound' = 2



-- floor tile

Value 'walksound' = 3



-- water

Value 'walksound' = 4




    After, in each keyframe where the foot of the character touch the ground, I put an action:

    If value 'walksound' = 1

 Play sound 'normalground.ogg'

  Else

   If value 'walksound' = 2

 Play sound 'grass.ogg'

  Else

   If value 'walksound' = 3

 Play sound 'floortile.ogg'

  Else

   If value 'walksound' = 4

 Play sound 'water.ogg'

  End if

 End if

End if


    And in some scenes, I added in Way systems, Action area, one of the values 1,2,3 or 4 (for example, if in the room there is an area with water, I define the zone of water in action area like this:

    Execution type : Character enters aera

Value 'walksound' = 4


    and

    Execution type : Character leaves area

value 'walksound' = 1

    Yep, same here on windows. 
    In the characters tab the zoom doesn't react at all.

    It's my Turning page. VS play it in random for me.
     

    Footstep sounds works up and down volume automatically in the previous version ( Final 5.0)

    ive never experienced a builtin footstep volume change depending on character position. In fact it makes no sense having it automatically change because the engine doesnt know whats intended by the programmer.

    Regarding turn animations: i think there are some animations missing. What about when the character stands SW and needs to turn to N? Depending on that it will not work like you want.

    The problem with the turn animations is the inconsistent behavior. When turning left to right (there is an animation for that) the character turns sometimes and sometimes not. No idea why.
    It worked fine with only one turn animation (same direction in/out).  (can't test, if it still works in the updated version, because I can't put in the animation due to the zooming problem - my character is on the bigger side, so I need to zoom out to place the animation center)

        It's "SW" to "NE". No "N". It's a diagonal direction that I need it.

    I think the zoom issue seems to be affecting dialogue areas as well. For some reason I am not able to see my dialog-area background after importing. Also its not possible to add the text-area. It seems glitchy.

    I have a request for future updates.
    Could you make it possible to manually enter a number higher than 1000 in the coordinate display of the animation center in the character tab?
