This does nothing to address the core concern that simply having resources in the IDE uses up precious system memory and chips away at that 2GB limit even if you aren't using those resources in the game. Currently texture management within the IDE is only for VRAM which is memory loaded into a dedicated graphics card. You might be wondering why is this needed? Doesn't GM already pack sprites onto texture pages efficiently to reduce memory usage and don't we have memory management with texture_flushing? Yes this is true however its still rather limited. This is because GM1.4 creates a 32bit application when you compile your game, I'm not sure if GM2.0 compiles a 32bit game. Currently in GM, that memory limit is 2GB (but you really only have ~1.7GB) meaning that the game will not run if you use more than this amount. One of the main problems we have to solve especially for the large projects is running out of memory. If anything in the spoiler is inaccurate, please inform me so I can modify it! (skip to the tutorial if you know about this) GM does a fine job on its own for smaller games and unless you desire this amount of control and extra work, you are better off using GM's built in IDE capabilities Its useful mainly for those who have really large projects and large resolution games where memory tends to be a source of concern. This method is not necessary for everyone and every project. This provides you with the freedom to proper memory management natively without dlls or extensions which results in allowing you to create bigger games and use more texture memory at once than you otherwise would be able to. Doing so will allow you to take control over your texture pages to optimize texture memory instead of having GM do it for you.

#TEXTUREPACKER EXTRUDE HOW TO#

In this tutorial I will be demonstrating and showing you how to integrate the program TexturePacker by CodeandWeb into your graphics workflow. But the techniques are applicable to other JSON data applications.

#TEXTUREPACKER EXTRUDE SOFTWARE#

This particular example uses texture pages created with a commercial software package called TexturePacker.

#TEXTUREPACKER EXTRUDE PRO#

After the 14 th, the Pro Plan will switch to the regular price of $599 instead of $299 as part of the Early Bird special offer.This is a tutorial about creating and decoding JSON data structures.

#TEXTUREPACKER EXTRUDE UPGRADE#

If you’re a Free Subscriber, you still have time until the 14 th of April to upgrade your subscription while saving 50% off the regular price and get Daily Builds access today.

So do not hesitate and download daily builds if you are a Pro Subscriber already. This helps to keep the style of your game and customize the text input with custom fonts and colors.Īlong with these changes we also fixed some bugs reported by our customers. The new TextInputVPlay item allows you to use a text input field without opening a native input dialog. Thus we are glad to support this feature now. This allows scrollable lists that do not cover the whole screen if they get larger, a feature which was often requested by our community. If you need to clip the contents of a Flickable, images or any other items you can do so now with the new Clipping item. The following image demonstrates how dense you can now pack your sprites in a sprite sheet with the trimming support, captured with Texture Packer: Beginning with version 1.3.2 these features are also included in SingleSpriteFromFile, which is great for easy accessing of a single frame within a sprite sheet. In addition, it also supports trimmed and rotated images.This saves a lot of precious graphics memory and allows you to pack more sprites into a sprite sheet. It supports to define animated sprites from a sprite sheet exported with tools like Texture Packer or Zwoptex. This gets a lot easier now with the SpriteSequenceFromFile component. Setting up animations for multiple resolutions was a bit tedious before with the SpriteSequence component, because it did not have built-in support for multiple resolutions and you had to export a separate image for each sprite animation containing all frames in a contiguous row. The new features were requested frequently by you, our community – so enjoy the new stuff and expect more to come in near future. As we have added three bigger features to today’s daily build v1.3.2, we will cover the additions here in a dedicated blog post.
