Thank you mate. Downloaded them again and most of them work.
Pisces, Supernova, and Wish are the only three that still aren't working, but the others work great now. Astral Raise is my fav animation!
I just downloaded today and can confirm that these three have missing textures. I have my Effekseer plugin report missing textures, and I see these messages:
SC-Astrology/Favor_Pisces.efk Missing Effekseer texture: ../../Texture/EasySTAR/ANIM/Circle/128p_Circle14.png Missing Effekseer texture: ../../Texture/EasySTAR/SPHERE/Z_002b.png SC-Astrology/Supernova.efk Missing Effekseer texture: ../../Texture/EasySTAR/ANIM/Elemental/128p_Smoke01.png Missing Effekseer texture: ../../Texture/EasySTAR/Basic.png SC-Astrology/Wish.efk Missing Effekseer texture: ../../Texture/EasySTAR/Basic.png Missing Effekseer texture: ../../Texture/EasySTAR/Horizontal_01.png
I was able to fix Pisces & Supernova by loading them in Effekseer and finding the texture paths in Basic Render Settings (all the textures are in the zip, just the paths are wrong). However, I can't find all the references to EasySTAR/Basic.png in Wish - all of the Basic Render Settings appear to point to the correct Resources/Basic.png now. Is there some other place they could be hidden?
Thanks so much! These look wonderful.
Thank you for the report!
Since you're peeking at the leftover / legacy texture paths it's an easy way to see what I'm doing here: Originally all these animations shared a texture folder that I was constantly updating (for performance). But I switched to having them be independent, to improve compatibility and ease of use.
Some of these references are hard to find because they're tucked inside the Advanced Render Settings tab, which has some branching textures in it. I thought I had squished most of these, but some still slipped. How do you get the missing texture report? This sounds like a very useful tool for debugging, as for me they just look like they work!
I'll upload a new update as soon as possible, fixing these leftovers. Thank you once more.
I'm using love2d and the EffekseerForLove plugin. EffekseerForLove has a custom TextureLoader for Effekseer to be able to load the textures using the love filesystem, and the error messages come from there. Here's an example love2d program that loads *.efk from a directory (hardcoded to SC-Astrology as an example), so you could see all the warnings for each file:
local effekseer = require('effekseer')
local manager
local effects = {}
local handle
function love.load(args)
love.window.setMode(1280, 800)
-- Pass in true to print warnings, remove true to raise an error instead.
manager = effekseer.newEffectManager(true)
local path = 'SC-Astrology'
local k, v
for k, v in ipairs(love.filesystem.getDirectoryItems(path)) do
if v:sub(-4) == '.efk' then
print("Loading: " .. v)
table.insert(effects, manager:newEffect(path .. '/' .. v))
end
end
end
local tot_dt = 0
local idx = 1
function love.update(dt)
tot_dt = tot_dt + dt
if tot_dt >= 1 then
tot_dt = tot_dt - 1
print("FPS: " .. love.timer.getFPS())
end
-- Play the next effect if none are playing.
if not handle or not manager:exists(handle) then
handle = manager:play(effects[idx])
manager:setLocation(handle, 640, 400)
idx = idx + 1
if idx > #effects then
idx = 1
end
end
manager:update(dt)
end
function love.draw()
-- Draw all effects using the manager
manager:draw()
end
You need to run love with the EffekseerForLove plugin in the LUA_CPATH though, so it's not as straightforward as running other love2d programs. Let me know if you want to get it setup and need a hand!
