Hey deepnight I followed your tutorial which was in deepnight.net . Which is crating the hero but I see a small green square. How to remove it

Hello there,

I've been trying to compile your gameBase project to HL/C using the following commands :

haxe --version

neko -version
2.3.0

hl -version

How can I fix these unlinked symbols ?

Thanks for your help :)

I want something close to Starcraft 2, i.e. 3d game in 2d space. They seem to use the same approach to coordinate system, which you covered in A simple and generic 2D engine, part 1 - Coordinates system (great article btw), also similar to both Northgard and Darksburg.

It seems it fits very well for such usage, even though this gameBase doesn't contain s3d at all (and I haven't found such in advancedBase either). Can you give some insight on what changes your template might need, like Game.hx, Entity.hx, and maybe other classes, to implement this RTS-like experience?

• Parse JSON (at least partially) for advanced features
• Filter out unused values (ie. value2, value3 etc)
• Use "desc" to create Haxe doc for "values"

• Add Random helper methods to create random variations on values
  • vary(0.7)
  • random rotations
• optimize repetitive init sections

I'm trying to figure out how to use the included LangParser. Am I correct that it's purpose is to create .mo files from the *.po files?

It's has been compiled but when i run hl bin/langParse.hl I get the output:

Building sourceTexts file...
[GetText] Parsing source code...
[GetText] Parsing CDBs...
  -> res/data.cdb
[GetText] Saving POT file (res/lang/sourceTexts.pot)...
[GetText] done.
Done.

However, no en.mo file is created. All that is created is a sourceTexts.pot which does not contain the correct translation.

If I change the translation for "Game is ready" to "TEST" in en.po:

#: src/Game.hx:19
msgid "Game is ready."
msgstr "TEST"

The generated sourceTexts.pot looks unchanged:

#: src/Game.hx:32
msgid "Game is ready."
msgstr ""

I also noticed this section in LangParser.hx has an error in vscode:

var data = GetText.doParseGlobal({
	codePath: "src",
	codeIgnore: null,
	cdbFiles: cdbs,
	cdbSpecialId: [],
	potFile: "res/lang/"+name+".pot",
});

Class<dn.data.GetText> has no field doParseGlobal

There is no information about the LangParser in the documentation (tutorial on deepnight or the README)

Hey — first of all, thanks a lot for sharing this! I was looking forward to try this out (coming from Unity), but I'm unable to start the game (right after cloning).

$ haxe hl.dx.hxml
$ hl bin/client.hl
src/module.c(360) : FATAL ERROR : Failed to load library directx.hdll

I'm on MacOS. Writing an issue here because I have no idea how to debug and googling didn't help. Let me know if I can share anything else about my environment that can help find the problem.

Is the advancedBase branch considered stable enough to be usable? I can't seem to be able to build it.

I get an issue about

src/Game.hx:116: characters 3-17 : Unknown identifier : timeMultiplier

The standard gameBase is fine though!

How do i make camera movements

Hi @deepnight ,

How to make this gameBase Advance able to scale to LetterBox? Because, it seems it will make all the children objects into the wrong position.

Thank you.

Hi @deepnight ,

I don't have any idea where to set the collider:

My sample player can get through wall. I have also tried the default sample player:

If I modified these lines:

// Ceiling collision
if (yr < 0.2 && level.hasCollision(cx, cy - 1)) {
	dy = 0;
	yr = 0.2;
}

into

// Ceiling collision
if (yr < 1.2 && level.hasCollision(cx, cy - 1)) {
	dy = 0;
	yr = 1.2;
}

Everything seems good, but there is a bug, this gif will explain better:
https://imgur.com/a/pu1gBXd

When I press right on the top corner, the player like stuck at the top corner.

Can you help?

Thank you.

• move LEd doc generator to deepnightLibs
• add comments in Master branch
• update Advanced branch
• Publish doc somewhere

Hi deepnight, How do i use camera and fx system in your GameBase, Since... I am a Beginner at Haxe .

hello sebastian benard, i dont know much about license, can i change the license owner to me after making games with it

Hi @deepnight ,

Is there any example camera rotation?

Thank you

tl;dr - it's hard for a Haxe/Heaps newb to start with @deepnight 's tutorial on gameBase and end up with a LDtk level in their game.

This ticket could perhaps be split between LDtk and gameBase, but I'll put the bulk of the ticket here.

It's not obvious how to bring LDtk levels into gameBase. While there is an example in ld47 (Footloop), there is enough additional ancillary code in ld47 that it's hard to get going quickly. This is from someone with no Heaps or Haxe experience, so maybe this is obvious to others but just not me. The docs in LDtk explaining the Haxe API show how to load a LDtk level into Haxe objects, but don't explain how one might render it. For example, where are the assets loaded from? Is that handled in the background?

Suggested fixes:

• Extend LDtk docs to mention gameBase and how to integrate a LDtk level there.
• Extend gameBase to have a basic LDtk level (maybe by default)? Not just loading the level, but rendering it, maybe with 1 entity converted.
• Add a short note about things to consider when structuring the level / importer from the perspective of a gameBase user.
• Add a note somewhere about asset workflow for LDtk in the gameBase/Heaps context. Is there anything to know?

Thank you for releasing the wonderful LDtk tool!

Hi, I noticed you updated the advanced branch with an ldtk map and I wanted to check how it works.
I've no issues compiling with haxe and running with hashlink, but I noticed there's no player entity in the demo.

Hi, I have noticed that after scaling the ui.Console by 2, the command input does not align the bottom. Is there any work around on it?

Thread.hx line 98 threadsMutex.acquire();
Exception has occurred.
Access Violation

I am not sure which ext. that run hxml. It ignore the build.

Hi deepnight how to have collision in heaps / game, like the hero in platformer having collision in the ground

• scale console
• support Aseprite

I have a question, where i need to put text as header display in his GameBase ??, it has parameters such as the s2d variable

if you had made games with this GameBase please put the link here
