    Android How to lower texture resolution on mobile by half "automatically"?

    Hi, I am trying to prepare a mobile version for my high res, hand draw animated game (which has a lot of sprites frames) Right now it works but even on 3 GB Smartphones it will still crash regularly due to out of memory. It appears apps on mobile can use only like 50% of the system RAM+VRAM...

    SOLVED Issues with a black grid showing up on a sprite that has no grid

    I am using an image for the background instead of a solid color and I have the room grid turned off and the Interpolate Colours Between Pixels unchecked (turned off) but for some reason the background is drawn with a black grid on it. The original image imported into GMS does not have a grid on...

    Red lines appear horizontally in backgrounds in-game?

    At the start of my game, players can choose Normal (keep aspect ratio) or Widescreen (full scale) resolution. With Full scale, thin red horizontal lines appear in the backgrounds of some rooms. Even on rooms with no background, just a color. With Keep aspect ratio, they dont appear. My game...

    Prefetching all sprites

    Can I use the Action sprite_prefetch() as: sprite_prefetch(all); to prefetch all the graphics in the game at once - would this cause a big freeze with a lot of textures in my game? I'm thinking since if you go back to main menu from a new game, all those textures flushed previously during...

    SOLVED Sprites/Textures Seem to Shiver Depending on Camera Position [Help needed]

    So I seem to be having some problems with sprite/texture rendering when I zoom the camera, or sometimes when the camera simply moves. I took this video so you can see what I mean. I have ticked the tile horizontally/vertically on the sprites but it hasn't really seemed to help. Any advice on how...

    Graphics Making textures

    Hello everyone. Been having a hard time finding tutorials on creating textures for a game, even the tutorials and practice work I'm doing doesn't really go into it. I'm going for something with a Paper Mario look for it. A combination of 2d and 3d objects with a cartoon type of texture on it...

    Question - IDE GMS 2 annoyances and suggestions

    Even though I've been using GMS 2.0 for a while (for Nintendo Switch ports especially), I've only recently fully switched to it. While there are many aspects I love (tabs and bookmarks for scripts <3, CTRL+T to search on resource names...), there's also some inconvenient stuff. - The sprite...

    GMS 1.4 Shader/Texture interpolation on fullscreen trouble

    Hi, so basically I'm testing the code from this video: In the create event I have something like this: color_sets = 4; color_row_index = 1; v_offset = shader_get_uniform(shdr_palette_swap, "Offset"); v_normal = color_row_index/256; palette_swap_sampler =...

    GameMaker Repeat Sprite Edge [ Solved]

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help with repeating the edge of a sprite. Kinda like how the inbuilt texture-packer-thingy-ma-bob makes a border. Currently I draw my sprites with draw_sprite_pos. for ( var _s = 0; _s < _spr_images; ++_s ) { var _si = ( _first_emissive_sub_image ? 0 : _s...

    GameMaker How do I get the sprites texture

    How can I check a building vertex buffer if the texture isn't the same and a break is needed. I was supplying a function with sprite_get_texture( _spr, _num ), and storing a global, checking if its new. However I noticed that every sprite had a different ID. I checked with show_debug_message(...

    GameMaker What creates new textures?

    It seemed like I had a pretty severe memory leak, so I checked the debugger and after about a minute it's listing 2000 textures and growing. Only one of these textures has a given size (1.34 MB), but is this insane increase in the number of textures the memory leak (or at least part of it)? What...

    Legacy GM Applying High Res Texture - Pixel Art

    I have a view resolution of 240x135 and a view port of 1920x1080. This means that the graphics are actually displayed at the higher resolution. When I draw a texture on top of the game window with the GUI layer using a subtract blend mode, I get this nice looking effect where the graphics look...

    Legacy GM [solved] Texture pages placing some sprites too close together while stretching others?

    A few of my animated sprites have a flash of a different sprite in their sprite. Looking at the sprites in GameMaker, there's no issue. So I looked at the texture page preview, I started to notice the larger sprites on the texture page are stretched by 4 pixels. So a 480 wide sprite is 484 a 860...
