Re: Shaders (again?)

I'm having the same problem, and looking at the svn source, there is only GL.hx

http://code.google.com/p/nekonme/source/browse/?name=3.5.4#git%2Fnm...

However, if you set Tag to <None>, the other files appear.

GameStick console?

Anyone seen this yet? Looks like the OUYA has a competitor:

http://www.gamestick.tv/

Should be available in April for $79, runs Android and connects to hdmi.

I hope NME will be able to support this system as well.

Re: Smoothness

Thanks Gamereclaim, that way fullscreen does work with hardware acceleration.

I've been doing lots of tests and it looks like OpenGL just has poor vsync support on Windows, it works, but the timing just seems to be sloppy.

BTW, setting vsync can be done with the wglSwapIntervalEXT extension, it is on be default.

Re: Smoothness

I'm using the new version 3.5.4, actually I read about the changes in the main loop and wanted to try this again, since I've been having this problem for a long time already. I can't really tell if it's better than the previous versions.

I tried the vsync flag, but strangely it doesn't seem to make any difference at all (or it's not working for some reason).

BTW, this is on Windows 7, windowed mode (it looks like full screen doesn't use hardware at all, I get only 4 fps and the message "Couldn't set OpenGL mode:").

I don't know if this is something that can actually be fixed, it obviously also depends on Windows and the other processes are running at the same time. But somehow, Stage3D is able to get a perfectly constant frame rate under the same circumstances (flash without using Stage3D isn't very smooth).

With tests in other programming languages, I'm seeing better results with DirectX than with OpenGL (but still not as good as with Stage3D).

Smoothness

I'm very happy with Stage3D, it has a very steady framerate and I'm finally able to get real smooth scrolling again (at least in Windows 7), almost as good as in the old days with DOS!

Unfortunately, with cpp / windows (using drawtiles), the results are disappointing, I can't get it to run smoothly for more than a second at a time, sometimes two seconds. Strangely, it often does keep reporting 60 fps, even when I clearly see a jerk happening, so it probably renders twice after missing a frame or something like that.

Any ideas how this could be improved?
Is there an option like vsync?

Re: onDeviceOrientationUpdate (Android)

Wow, that fixed it! Thanks!

onDeviceOrientationUpdate (Android)

With NME 3.5.3, I'm still not able to run anything on Android (Nexus 7).

Now I compiled the Actuate example and loaded the generated project into Eclipse and it shows what seems the problem:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native method not found: org.haxe.nme.NME.onDeviceOrientationUpdateI)I

See screenshot

I tried commenting out the lines with onDeviceOrientationUpdate, onNormalOrientationFound and onOrientationUpdate and the Actuate example worked again.

Re: FPS crashes on windows release

Thanks singmajesty, updating the NDK fixed the compilation issues.

However, anything I compile for Android crashes (The application ... has stopped unexpectedly) on both of my devices: Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.3.6) and Nexus 7 (4.2.1).

On the emulator I get the INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR, however changing ANDROID_INSTALL_LOCATION to auto or internalOnly doesn't help.

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

Re: FPS crashes on windows release

After installing NME 3.5.2, the problem with Windows release versions crashing is solved!

Unfortunately however, I can't compile to Android anymore (hxcpp.h, error: typeinfo: no such file or directory), I have to investigate that more and I might start a separate thread.

Re: FPS crashes on windows release

Yes, arial.ttf is there.
And it does work in debug mode.

I thought I'd try it on my mini laptop with winxp, and did a (first time) installation of NME on it.
Ran into the same problem described in the thread "nme 3.5.1 WindowsXP. Command line error".
After updating from SVN and recompiling, NME works again, but I can't run anything compiled for the windows target on winxp:

Can't find entry point of FlsFree in KERNEL32.dll

Re: FPS crashes on windows release

It's a runtime error, here is a screenshot.

These are the versions I'm using (I updated nme from SVN today):

C:\haxe>haxelib list
actuate: 1.43 [1.52]
flixel: [1.07]
format: 1.25 [dev:c:\hxformat]
hxcpp: 2.10 2.10.2 [dev:c:\hxcpp]
nape: [2.0.3]
nme: 3.4.4 3.5.0 [dev:c:\nekonme]
svg: 1.02 [1.03]
swf: 1.13 [1.17]
xfl: [1.02]


Edit: changed hxcpp to SVN version, no difference
Haxe Compiler 2.11 r5733


Edit 2:

Looks like TextField is causing a problem, the following has the same effect:

tf = new TextField ();
tf.text = "Hello!";
addChild (tf);

If I change the second line to tf.text = ""; it doesn't crash.

FPS crashes on windows release

Using the newest version, any project using nme.display.FPS crashes when compiling to windows release.

Capabilities.language crashes on iOS

Capabilities.language crashes on iOS (at least in the simulator, I don't have real devices yet).
It works fine in flash, windows and android.

I'm using the 3.4.4 beta version, Mac OS X 10.6.8, xcode 4.2.

[ios] dyld: Library not loaded

I'm using OS X 10.6.8 with xcode 4.2 and NME 3,4,4 beta.
Any ideas?

Re: compilation errors on Mac OS 10.6.8

Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

I'm trying out NME on a Mac for the first time and can't get anything to compile because of this error.

I have OSX 10.6.8 and xcode 3.2.6 and I'm using NME-3.4.4-Beta-Mac.

Re: Setting Android permissions

Thanks a lot, I'll try it.

Setting Android permissions

Is there a way to set the permissions your app will require (like in the .nmml)?

It looks like anything created with NME for Android requires the following permissions:

WAKE_LOCK
INTERNET
VIBRATE
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

But if they're not used, listing them will only make your app seem less trustworthy.

I would edit the AndroidManifest.xml, but it looks like that gets overwritten with each new compilation.
