texture

Hello all, despite learning so much I am still no doubt a noob. SO I have a shop in my game that lets players buy upgrades, When buying, Is texture swapping is the best choice for my game? The problem is this creates a lot of synarios. For eg, if I have helmet, chest guard and shield I must...

For example, if you wanted to tint/change the game environment, you could redraw all the sprites in their new form directly to the texture page, rather than doing it in real time every step using a shader or even image blend. I'm sure this could lead to other problems, similar to the problems...

I want to know how safe it is to use 4096x4096 for android and ios devices? In 2021 what percentage of devices don't support this size?

Hi All, I'm pretty new to shaders, and relatively new to coding (this is my first game) so this may be really simple to solve. Basically, I'm making a top down space combat game (think asteroids type movement), where one of the ships can produce a "Gravity Wave". I want this effect to be...

This is more a theoretical question, no code has been written down yet. Let's assume I want to create a dynamic environment and I want to use vertex buffers to draw things so I will be able to use vertex shaders to create some effects. Of course there is going to be a need to have many different...

good morning community, I have a question I am optimizing a great project for mobile devices, I have exported to YYC and I have had good performance on high-end and mid-range and low-end devices I have had problems, so I have optimized as much as possible ... At the moment I started with the...

I'm working on a game right now that I want to be a simple 3D platformer, using cubes/prisms made from vertex buffers for the terrain. My problem is the way I want to texture the terrain differs based on how the terrain is shaped. Something like this below: I understand I might not be able...

Hello! Once again I got some troubles with GMS and still do not understad it, maybe because I'm still new to it. What do I have: 1) A 256x256 sprite called spr_moon which has the following checkboxes set to true: tile (both horiz and vert), separate texture page. 2) I'm drawing a textured...

Hello, So I am working on an Android game on GMS2, and the volume of sprites I am going to use is pretty large (> 100MB). I know how texture pages work, and how to optimize them to avoid too many swaps. However, considering that Google Play limits application file size (to about 50 or 100MB...

So one of the biggest questions I have in my game is about how I should optimize my texture pages. Each card in the game has a 600x600 px piece of artwork. As of now, I have just been throwing all of them into a texture group and calling it good enough. My texture page sizes are 4096x4096 so...

I have a shader that simply draws a texture over top of the sprite that calls it. It works perfectly when the dimensions of the sprite are a multiple of two. 32x32, 64x128, etc. If they're not then the overlay texture gets stretched in a weird way. I believe the problem lies solely in my shader...

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me how many texture pages is not too many for android? Or how many texture swaps in debug overlay? Currently my android game has 7-8 texture pages per level each 2048*2048. Im afraid its too many or too big to work fine on mediocre and low-end devices. Any help is...

Hi experts I am experimenting with the possibility of using normal map textures to enhance the look and feel of my sprites. So I created tree objects - a circle, a square and a star. l of them rotate in Step event. Also I use a custom shader to use the normal maps, which I prepare it in...

Created with Gamemaker. First created in March 2019, Version 1.287 is fully developed to it's limits. Now working on version 2.0 to be ready for Summer 2020. Featured on the 80LV webpage: https://80.lv/articles/hair-strand-designer/ Hair Strand Designer is a tool that creates hair strands in...

I have a dll that uses directx11 and I wanted to get a texture (sprite_get_texture, surface_get_texture, ...) as an ID3D11ShaderResourceView so that it can be manipulated on the dll side. Is this possible? I thought those functions gave us pointers to a directx resource or are they a local...

There is function called texture_set_interpolation but there is no such function that checks its value, like texture_get_interpolation. How to get current interpolation?

Hello there! I have encountered this problem and after reading here and there, I still don't know what solutions I can apply to the following situation: -It is normal that when working on a project for HTML5 there is a texture problem where all the images appear wrongly. This is solved by...

I'm designing my current project to a 1080p standard. However, some of my assets ideally need to be above 2K to give some flexibility for zooming/panning. This is all fine and good on my PC when running with texture pages set to 4096x4096, but some of my low-end test devices struggle with this...

I'm drawing a part of the application surface for a shader, but keep getting an error message: "Trying to set texture that is also bound as depth buffer - bailing..." I've tried removing the shader, and this reveals weird behavior, which is that if I try to draw the application surface it just...

I need to get the width and height of the exact texture page an image is on to do some calculations with. I can get a lot of other information but I'm having trouble getting the actual width and height of textures on demand. I CANT just assume they are 2048x2048 or whatever I set the texture...
