Tiles Of Different Sizes In Atomic Ivy MMO

We can now set tiles of different sizes , 7 sizes to choose from.

Quick Demo Videos




The tutorial video #205 has not been uploaded at this time, but when it does it will be at the links below.


We can now set tiles of different sizes. Well,
technically we could before this video, but now
it actually renders correctly.

Doesn't matter what kind of amazing data exists if all
you can render is a black screen or jumbled pixels right?

The diagnostic shader is about done. Time to move onto...
Save and load from database I think.

If you would like to follow along , you have 3 options,
however, if you are reading at the time of release of
this video, the playlists MIGHT NOT EXIST YET as they
are on a scheduled release schedule. But here they are:

Level Isolated Mirroring Brush

 Level Isolated Mirroring Brush www.tinyurl.com/BOMB-CODE A mirroring tile brush where the origin is always the current level you are clicking in. This gives me ideas for a brush where the origin is the EDGES of the levels rather than the CENTERS of the levels. It could be used to make decorative pillar-like designs on the boundaries between levels. However, it is time to move on from this fucking around. We need to create previewable save-format for Josh so that he can manage his level designs. I would also like this. Because I am having trouble remembering what save files contain what when I am doing technical demo videos. I could also make an imgur gallery full of save files that are also images, which would be nice. I am very tired and my focus is shot. Just decided I should make this post now because it is either now or never. And even if it were now or later, now is going to be more efficient than later. My mind may be unfocused and tired and slightly foggy, but it is better than

Atomic Ivy MMO - GPU Texture Sampling Math Is Wrong

The tile shader in Atomic Ivy MMO has a bit of a bug in it.... One Of These Videos Is For Vertical Monitors ( or phones ). The other is for Horizontal Monitors. If you are really clever, you can turn your phone sideways to make it a horizontal monitor.     Video Footage From :     Atomic Ivy MMO Tutorial Series - Video #206     After creating a set of debug functions in our     KonamiC ( Konami Code ) system, I found that only     the "7" key resulted in any visible feedback.     The key that should have been filling EXACTLY ONE     LEVEL PACK appeared to be filling ALL NINE LEVEL PACKS.     Realizing that it was only the top corner level pack     being edited that resulted in visual feedback from     the shader, I decided to try to set tiles in the     first level pack...     Turns out...     I can only see tiles if they are set in the FIRST LEVEL     of the FIRST LEVEL PACK. We have a 3x3 grid of     levelpacks loaded into the game. Debug functions     bound to the numpad k

Hooray! Click+Drag! - Atomic Ivy MMO

Image
 Drag To Set Tiles - Atomic Ivy MMO -     We can now set tiles by holding down the mouse and     dragging in addition to the previous clicking method.     This is great , but it lags horribly.     Why?     Well... Every time we set ONE(1) tile we are     pushing up the entire 2048 x 2048 texture that     encodes our tilemap data.     Question : How many pixels encode a single tile?     Answer : ONE(1)     So... We are doing ( 2048 * 2048 ) more work than     what needs to be done so....     Instead of pushing up 1 pixel evey time we set a     tile we are pushing up...     4,194,304 pixels..     That's massively inefficient.     If I had a dollar for every time I wasted 4 bytes of     GPU bandwidth... Well.. I'd have 4 million dollars     per click. Better cash in on that. I need the money     to fund my really expensive beef jerky and coffee     habbit.     Luckily I am doing better than most people my age     because I stay away from avacado toast and coffee.     I know someon
