Physics Issues

PS: What's PO2, Ellohir?

PO2_Syndrome is where a graphic is not a Power Of 2 and some video cards can't render it properly. 0.8.0 is going to add a fix to this problem, where images will get padded up to a power of 2 (so if you have a 50 pixel by 100 pixel image, it will become 64 pixel by 128 pixel.)

OK, I have a new build with the only thing I could think of fixed; the floor now doesn't extend into the negative in regards to the world. If you have time please try it. (I also fixed a jump freeze bug)

Thanks!

[Ellohir]

I think it works better now, I had a few freezes before. Going up between two walls it's really easy, that's really cool. I'd say this is an excelent start for a game.

Sorry to hear about the freezes; hopefully that'll be ironed out when I update it to 0.8 with all it's new physics. I'd do that right now except I don't know how.

PS: Anyone know a tutorial or resource showing how to open/read/write a file outside the .love file?

Thanks

A .love file is just a fancy name for .zip. Just use your favorite unzipper to extract.

EDIT: Whoops. Misunderstood.

I don't have a tutorial link, but the place to start is love.filesystem.load and love.filesystem.newFile. Each of those pages have examples to help you out.

I can't even get it to load. When I run it from the terminal I get this:

Code: Select all

[redacted]:~/Downloads/LOVE$ love platformer/
love: modules/physics/box2d/Source/Collision/Shapes/b2PolygonShape.cpp:225: b2PolygonShape::b2PolygonShape(const b2ShapeDef*): Assertion `d.y >= 0.0f' failed.
Aborted
[redacted]:~/Downloads/LOVE$ 

Again...

Sorry, I don't know why it loads for some people and not others. Anyone have any ideas? I have an AMD graphics card and everything works fine; can you let me know which brand your running and whether it works or not? I read somewhere about one of the majors being more sensitive to a certain thing than others, I wish I could find that again . . .

[MarekkPie]

Just tried it on my netbook, and it gave me the same error (along with another error, but that comes up every time I load a love with the audio module on this computer).

I have an Nvidia Geforce 4 MX (old and low-cost card) and it works for me.
