Paralax Scrolling BG + Sprite Animations

[Robin]

Looks like a PO2 fail.

Heavens, you scare me like hell when I saw my gfx with strange colour! Then I noticed it was a gif! (relief)

EDITED BTW that is a fork from original in first post. I only changed gfx anyway, so probably the problem is still in original. You should check that one too. Just warning since my gfx could have a weird format/encoding?

EDIT: Made a GIF animation to show you what doesn't work

Whatever you're using to create gifs sucks.

I know, but flash sucks too, and not many people have support for SVG animations

Oh, sorry arquivista I didn't want to scare anyone

The problem is in your version and in the thread starter's one.

That's ok, already recovered. Thanx for checking both versions. So I will not export again gfx. ninwa then still have to check a better way to do the sprite anim code.

OFF-TOPIC: Hey Flash only sucks on Mac and in Apple stuff. Flash in general only sucks if contents are bad made and unfortunly a lot of people give flash a bad name. SVG already "failed" years ago when was announced to substitute Flash and since then Flash power and funcionality was improved even more. Flash will always be the choice for web multimedia unless some real good html5+SVG editors appear. Anyway Flash will beat SVG for many years since SVG is under burocratic supervision and to improve something there takes ages.

I'm not saying that the .gif file format sucks, I'm saying that the application you used to create a gif animation that screwed up all the colours sucks.

Let's be fair, none Gif animated program could do better job on that. the 256 color limitation can't put a much faithful palette in so large area. GIF's aren't intended for pseudo-"movies" of that huge size.

However he could instead limit the movie size to the game window and all would be fine. It's more nomnom fault than a program fault.

EDITED: nomnom, like there is people that give as I said Flash a bad name there is some people that give GIF a bad name too. Guess who? ;D

That is so incredibly wrong that I don't even know where to start...

PhotoShop could (I know, it's Linux so no PS). I'd probably record the video in QuickTime. Export to .mov. Open PS and use the "Import as Frames" option. Then crop it, and play around with the color options for an hour anal-retentively until my OCD is satisfied with its look vs. its size. But that's just me. lol
