:roll:

Nice, just make it C&P.

At least write it out so people learn something from it.

Sorry, I meant to mention, I will add explanations tomorrow, I just wanted to actually get it up first, a bit busy IRL at the moment :roll:

A lot of that code is unnecessary (like copymemory) and the comments I added were just there because that's what I did first, and then changed it.

So clean it up and make it seem somewhat intelligent, instead of just saying exactly what the svn patch says.

Seems to me like it needs Optimized Surfaces, because it uses MiddleBuffer, LowerBuffer, and UpperBuffer.

Then again, I'm probably wrong. :|

It's built for the latest version of Mirage, which comes with optimised surfaces.

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
It works fine with a Vanilla MS3.43, not sure what DFA and Dave has changed/removed since then though.

Wouldn't it be better to just move the map on the same layer instead of doing it on another one? It would be harder, however...I think?

I'd see no advantage to reverting to "the old way of doing things"

The entire map is only drawn once, then the appropriate sections are copied to the back buffer.

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
Ah well I guess I just think of hard ways to do things. :P

Nice work, though.

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
I've found a bug in the transition. When the map slides, it displays the tile at the top of the column that your tile is in, as opposed to the tile itself. I will have a look at the code and see what is wrong.

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
That bug must be because of the new MS version.

It works perfect in both my test bed, and in Merrimint.

Robin nearly has it working in Winds Whisper, too.

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
Anyways, in the MSE thread Acruno said he wouldn't make it a copy and paste tutorial. This is clearly a copy and paste tutorial, so I am going to (for once) exploit my moderator powers and remove it. It can be reposted in a not-copy-and-paste format if someone wants.

I support your decision.

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
I had a feeling that would happen, which is why I made a copy for personal use :P

not like I'm going to use it though, because I'm trying to get scrolling maps working on mine.

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
I made a copy of it too. I also don't intend to use it on my game (nor scrolling maps). Though I do have a project in mind that sliding maps would be use full for, I think I'm just gonna use MS4 (or whatever it's called these days)

he's trying to get scrolling maps working period, lol. once he gets it working in a blank MS, him and I will work on getting it into my game. But yes, he's been helping me a lot lately and doing an awesome job.

lol srsly, it's really easy to do...

Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
I know I just want to see how you did it and since I've never tried to do it myself I don't know how to.

Download the source that has it? It's really not that hard.
Author:  Robin [ Mon Aug 25, 2008 1:50 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
Download the patch file and add it in? :|
Author:  GIAKEN [ Mon Aug 25, 2008 2:22 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Sliding Map Transition
It's not in the source yet besides the SVC patch (right?) and I can't get subversion to work yet.
