Gideros 2020.9 is out

MoKaLux

how do you use --!NEEDS: please?

https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Loading_Order_of_Lua_Files

--!NEEDS:"lf/lf_dyn_character_base.lua" --> DOES NOT WORK --!NEEDS:lf/lf_dyn_character_base.lua --> DOES NOT WORK --require "lf/lf_dyn_character_base" --> WORKS   LF_Dynamic_Bat = Core.class(LF_Dynamic_Character_Base)   function LF_Dynamic_Bat:init(xworld) LF_Dynamic_Character_Base.createAnim(self, "idle", 1, 5) end

Is it because of this? LF_Dynamic_Bat = Core.class(LF_Dynamic_Character_Base)
I also put !NOEXEC at the top of lf_dyn_character_base.lua
--!NOEXEC seems to work fine.

You can’t use NEEDS on a file which is NOEXEC, since non executed fils are out of call order

MoKaLux

my problem is here:
LF_Dynamic_Bat = Core.class(LF_Dynamic_Character_Base)

LF_Dynamic_Bat gets loaded before LF_Dynamic_Character_Base so my code doesn't work.

If I go to code dependencies on LF_Dynamic_Bat.lua and check LF_Dynamic_Character_Base.lua then that works.

I wanted to do it by code rather than gideros studio.

So now I removed --!NOEXEC from LF_Dynamic_Character_Base.lua but that doesn't work, error:

.\lf/lf_dyn_character_base.lua:110: attempt to index field 'anims' (a nil value)


***EDIT***: I FOUND the problem, I was passing the whole path but only the lua file is needed!!!
--!NEEDS:lf/lf_dyn_character_base.lua --> DOES NOT WORK
--!NEEDS:lf_dyn_character_base.lua --> WORKS

It is the path relative to where you put the --!NEEDS:

Thank you for your time hgy29, much appreciated

hgy29

Yes, path is relative unless it begins with a /, it helps writing libraries.

Gideros 2020.9.1 is available on github in pre-release. I didn't test it extensively, but changes are minor beside the fact that Xcode 12 was used to build iOS/Mac stuff this time.

MoKaLux

you are wonderful

Hi! What sort of leak was that? When 1Mb texture took 10Mb RAM?

@MoKaLux, what does the browser console says ?

thank you I found this:

EDIT: I fixed some image files which had strange color formatting (thank you gimp).
I exported to html5 then to itch.io and that worked .

The thing is I was able to test the app on MS edge before uploading to itch.io but it seems MS edge has new security so now so I cannot test my app on my local machine anymore

So that should work on a server.

I may need to install a local server such as wamp in the future to test my apps.

Yes, you can't run it from a local folder, it needs to be hosted on a web server

I would like to report a bug for gideros v2020.9 regarding the gideros player.
When you are in the player and press CTRL+R (restart) then View "Always on Top" gets deactivated (not working).

Thank you

Is it possible to highlight new math function?)

I thought that was something to do with the wiki but it's more likely somewhere in github

kussakov

Thank you for keep adding improvements to our favorite platform.

So... 2020.11 is out, but there is no thread?)
