Commented Issue: Need an XNA 4.0 content pipeline extension [3]

stevedunn — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:21:15 GMT

This is now the only way a level from Gleed2D can be loaded into an XNA game, so this is a major priority. I'm about to start work on one of these for myself anyway.

My importer would parse the XML file using level.cs as a basis, my processor and writer would turn it into a binary format for quick loading, and my runtime reader would then parse this binary to get the final result as fast as possible.

I did this exact thing a while back for the level editor TilED and it works nicely, so it makes sense to adopt the same system again here for GLEED2D.
Comments: Hi, I've been rewriting this tool and with the permission of zissakos, I'm now hosting it at http://github.com/stevedunn/gleed2d Loading a level is now done via the 'LevelLoader' object. This is in the 'Gleed2D.InGame' assembly. If you ever got around to doing this pipeline extension, I'd be happy to fold it into the new source tree. Cheers, Steve blog.dunnhq.com

Commented Issue: No Overload for Method 'Convert.ChangeType' takes '2' arguments [1]

stevedunn — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:19:24 GMT

When porting my game over to the XBOX platform, I noticed one issue within the sources. Under the source code for SerializableDictionary, Convert.ChangeType(obj, cp.type) throws an "No Overload for Method 'Convert.ChangeType" takes '2' arguments, providing culture info, as the third parameter will solve this issue...

Since there's no way to send patchs, I have uploaded a .cs file of just the SerializeableDictionary.cs file. Hope this help.

I'm able to compile using XNA 4, so I'm assuming it was an issue with XNA 3.1. Could you try the latest version? Do let me know if it's still an issue. Cheers, Steve blog.dunnhq.com

Commented Issue: Grid snapping keeps changing.. [2]

stevedunn — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:14:31 GMT

Some info:
- My grid snap-to is 64,64

Anyways, when I FIRST place an object (64x64), it centers it at 32,32 on the grid. As in, the exact center of the object sits on the intersection of the grid lines. I can place as many objects as I want like that and they do tile correctly.

Now, if I MOVE a tile from its position, it then sets the top-left corner of the tile at the intersection of the grid lines, so the tile is completely centered inside the grid tiles.

So to sum it up: Placing the tile the first time sets the origin at the grid line intersection. If I attempt to move the tile, it sets the origin as to make the tile inside the grid lines.
Comments: Hi, I've been rewriting this tool and with the permission of zissakos, I'm now hosting it at http://github.com/stevedunn/gleed2d I've just checked, and this isn't an issue in the latest version of the tool. Cheers, Steve blog.dunnhq.com

Commented Issue: Custom property of type "Item" crashes the editor upon saving. [4]

stevedunn — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:12:27 GMT

I found a reproducible bug in GLEED2D.
If a level has a custom property of type "Item" that points to a primitive (eg. rectangle), the editor crashes every time upon saving the file.

In my case I have a rectangle primitive ("Rectangle_0001") on a second layer and a custom property named "TestProperty" on my level ("Level_01") that points to said rectangle. Creating and saving the level works fine.
Whenever I load and modify the level, the editor crashes though.

Attached you'll find a Test-Level (TestCase.xml). To reproduce the bug, open the file, move the rectangle and then save the file... this will cause the editor to crash.

Here's the error message (in German):
---------------------
System.InvalidOperationException: Beim Generieren des XML-Dokuments ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Das Objekt des Typs "System.String" kann nicht in Typ "GLEED2D.Item" umgewandelt werden.

Comments: For now I'm making a compiler specific to my game, although I could create a content extension like the one I describe. So far, I've not seen a lot of interest.
